Many thanks to Mugafo (https://github.com/Mugafo/DQB2ChunkEditor) and his work! Without him this fork wouldn't exist. Many many thanks.
And of course to turtle-insect (https://github.com/turtle-insect/DQB2), the one who paved the way in DQB2 technical knowledge.
This is my first time uploading to GitHub. I am unsure of the standard procedure. This fork adds more functionality to the original program.
For all undocumented blocks, here is a link with all IDs identified. https://www.tumblr.com/sapphire-rb/751291945137078272/all-of-dqb2s-blocks-with-their-ids
Do not try to set unidentified blocks (the ones that make the selection say '-1 not on list') because I don't know if it will work or not.
Items are still unrecognized.
Note: Has not been fully tested yet. ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR SAVE.
- Import and Export buttons for raw hex editing.
- Updated block list with new blocks.
- Changed the way the blocks display in the map for a better visual interface (In-game textures instead of block icons).
- Blocks seem to overflow at index 2048. Added functionality to read and insert blocks with their normal and overflowed indices.
- 'flatten island' option (Turtle's one wasn't working for me and I needed it for testing)
- Magic Pencil tool that will select a whole area in the current layer. By choosing a new block the entire area will be set to that block.
- 'Replace block' tool that will replace every instance of that block in the map for a different one. If there is a selection active with the Pencil it will only affect the selected area.
- New info added: What items do the blocks drop and the hammer requirement of the blocks. 'Used' property added as well (Not accurate)
- Added support for editing Gratitude Points, Time and all 30 Weathers (Not fully tested, gratitude does not work)
- Editing Virtual Chunk Grid (Move chunks around)
- Change text of signs and salutation stations
- Objects are recognized. Database is incomplete as of now.
The newest 2.4 release will overhaul most of my old code. Here's some screenshots

Features to add:
- Decorative items.
- Fill bucket mayhaps.
- Automatic backup.
- "Favourite" toolbar for saving and fast selection of blocks
- Sign and salutation station text editor
- Warp editor (if possible)
- Chunk remapping (if possible)
- Minimap to chunk tab (if possible)
External info to add:
- Colored block images are not implemented yet.
- Mapping of all chunks in each island (They are really big.)
Will be updated with all main islands. There are plans for a "Chunk selector" in the app itself with the save file minimaps, but as of now this will do. Use the green BG one to mask to your own island.
-Isle of Awakening (STGDAT01)

-Moonbrooke (STGDAT04)
-Malhalla (STGDAT05)
-Angler's Isle (STGDAT09)
-Skelkatraz (STGDAT10)
0.2.0:
- Import and Export buttons for raw hex editing.
- Updated block list with new blocks.
- Changed the way the blocks display in the map for a better visual interface (In-game textures instead of block icons).
- Blocks seem to overflow at index 2048. Added functionality to read and insert blocks with their normal and overflowed indices.
0.2.1:
- Added a 'flatten island' option (Turtle's one wasn't working for me and I needed it for testing)
- Added a Magic Pencil tool that will select a whole area in the current layer. By choosing a new block the entire area will be set to that block.
- Added a 'Replace block' tool that will replace every instance of that block in the map for a different one. If there is a selection active with the Pencil it will only affect the selected area.
- Changed a water block that seemed to have the wrong name (It was too obviously wrong to ignore)
- Changed the way the chunk number is fetched.
0.2.2:
- Completed the whole block list from ID 0 to 2047. Added colors (Still missing images)
- New info added: What items do the blocks drop and the hammer requirement of the blocks. 'Used' property added as well (Not accurate)
- Fixed oversight on the way the chunk number is fetched when importing a file
0.2.3:
- Added placeholder filter option to filter blocks by name (Thank goodness)
- Added support for editing Gratitude Points, Time and Weather (Not fully tested, weather is not documented yet)
0.2.3a:
- Fixed import option (That was broken in 0.2.3)
- Added ability to change chunk count manually (since it sometimes doesn't work?)
- Tile update, some images were added, water and snow cover was updated, and item tiles were also better identified
- Clock displayed wrong max number (12000 instead of 1200)
- Changed 'replace' icon to an in-game one (finally)
- Save option will now display the proper file name, even if the name of the file was something completely different when it was opened.
- Better weather editor, all 30 weather tipes are named and can be chosen from a dropdown. Which weathers work where is untested.
Mayor glitches:
- Gratitude editor is still broken. I'm not sure where the problem is
- For some reason sometimes the blocks will not be recognised despite being in the dropdown? I have no idea why this happens I did not touch that... If this happens just save, close and reopen the program, the file won't be affected by this.
- Filtering seems to cause some chaos in the dropdown thing. Not recommended. Main branch text below.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 Map Chunk Editor based on the map flattener from https://github.com/turtle-insect/DQB2
Steam save files should be located in C:\Users\<user>\Documents\My Games\DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS II\Steam\<steam id>\SD\
B00, B01, B02 are the corresponding save slots for the data.
STGDAT01.BIN is the Isle of Awakening map data.
Backups are not made when editing, so make sure to keep a backup of the save folders.
Able to edit all chunks and layers. Some issues with unmapped blocks due to duplication. Still need to add color and block shapes as well. I have the ID's but still need to add functionality for it.
"Items" are more difficult than simple blocks and I am still researching the data structure. Looks like there are a lot of different things that go into those, placement direction, shadows, block tile effects.
