Maybe I'm misunderstanding what this means in that case:

> a 1,024,000² (1M²) area of the Overworld (Dec 25 2025 - Apr 13 2026), > a 512,000² (512k²) area of the Overworld (Nov 11 2024 - Dec 12 2024), > a 256,000² (256k²) area of the End (Jan 23 2026 - Feb 15 2026), > a 100,000² (100k²) area of the Nether (Jun 9 2025 - Jun 14 2025)

How do they both provide a single snapshot of the world while also providing a date range.

The word "snapshot" is not entirely accurate. They used several bots to manually download the world by flying around, and that collection process takes several months (as described in the blog post).
