World Overview

What It Owns

The World Overview is the large-scale chunk map used for navigation, chunk inspection, bookmark placement, and chunk-level operations that would be awkward from the tile canvas alone.

Core Behaviors

Navigate directly to a chunk.
Move chunk content.
Duplicate chunk tiles.
Flip and rotate chunk content.
Delete a chunk and clear its tiles, height data, and placed entities.
Paint or restore the chunk background tile.
Create POIs and bookmarks from chunk positions.

Important UI Surfaces

World Overview floating window
Chunk context menu
Pending chunk-action flow
Bookmark and POI display

Known Behavior Notes

The chunk context menu is already a rich operations hub, so many requests in this area are extensions to an existing menu rather than requests for a brand-new system.
Pending move and duplicate actions are stateful; the overview can wait for a second chunk selection before executing.
The overview also exposes quick background-painting workflows at the chunk level.

Relationships

Depends on Chunk Storage And Streaming for chunk records and chunk dimensions.
Depends on Windows because the overview lives in its own floating tool window.
Often intersects with Layers and Tiling when users want higher-level terrain or chunk painting workflows.
