---------------

Ever wanted to build an ancient looking castle, but then realized it lacks that decaying feel? Or did you always want to create an adventure in dark ruins, but feared the amount of work it would be? Maybe you just want to ruin your base and then launch an expedition in, feeling like an archaeologist when digging for buried chests full of treasures? Then Teeth of Time is for you!

-So, what is this "Teeth of Time"?

Teeth of Time is a C# map manipulator, designed to simulate effects of weathering and time on manmade structures. Currently, Teeth of Time is in early alpha and not all core features have been implemented yet, but most are in their place and the app is fully usable. Any feedback and suggestions are welcome.

-What can it do?

* Unsupported blocks fall, supported blocks may topple
* Some blocks are transformed into others (cobble into mossy cobble, torches into air = deleted)
* Chunks are processed in multiple passes for optimal results
* All operations have a value assigned to them wich can be configured in the included config file
* Relighting
* Batch file is provided to run the program

-That's nice and all, but give me some screenies!
