I saved a map of mine quite some time ago and it's a .MINE file.  I'd like to to work with it now, but I can't find any editor that can open .MINEs or any converters that can make .MINEs into anything else.  Is .MINE a completely abandoned file type?  It seems very odd to me that what I assume is (or was) a common file type has absolutes no tools made to support it.

Am I missing something?
Thanks

You can only open that kind of file with minecraft

Is there a well known reason

Is there a well known reason why there has never been any editor made for it?

I heard once that it was

I heard once that it was possible to open .mine maps with OMEN when you had the minecraft-server.jar in the folder of the editor, but i cant remember how or if it ever worked.

I think .mine is very similar to .dat, but it also has the data for all the mobs on the map and the items you have in your bar, which a .dat file is lacking.

No idea why there's no editor to edit .mine files, probably because nobody wanted to make a editor which could read .mine because .dat worked just as well.
