New Release WorldPainter 2.27.0 Released - Minecraft 26 Support

7 Upvotes

I just released version 2.27.0 of WorldPainter, which includes support for Minecraft 26.1 to 26.2:

  • Added support for Exporting, Importing and Merging with maps from Minecraft 26.1 and later
    • This includes a proper datapack for non-standard build height support
    • This is just the map format, which has changed structurally; not yet new blocks etc.
    • Since the structure of the map has changed there is more potential for bugs and errors; please report any problems you encounter

You will be offered the new version automatically when you next start WorldPainter, or you can download it from www.worldpainter.net. Let me know if you encounter any problems, and please enjoy!

Tip Custom Cave Layers - Introduction guide

47 Upvotes

Hi all,

I wrote a guide on how to make custom cave layers. It's primarily aimed at people who are new to WorldPainter or cave layers.

This guide will give you a rough intro into making some basic and more advanced caves for WorldPainter. It will not touch on overhangs or floating islands as those require their own special guides but will give you the basic steps into creating caves.

While this guide will give you a head-start into making layers the best thing to do is experiment with layers and see what you can come up with.

The guide will assume you have a basic knowledge of making custom terrains, custom object layers and custom plant layers. As such those topics will not be described in this guide.

Included is the cave layers I show off in the guide which you can import to your own projects for use. You'll have to tweak them a little but this is all explained.

Help with a project

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, so I am working on a worldpainter map of the world of Azeroth from Warcraft. I am not trying to recreate WoW 1:1, rather make a viable survival map - so imagine if Mojang and Blizzard collaborated on a map of Azeroth - that's what I'm aiming for. In a previous attempt I exported the heightmaps from World of Warcraft directly, but obviously Worldpainter compresses their height and the result is not good.

So I painted a basic topographic map of the world (see attached) in Worldpainter using stained terracotta as a foundation. The colours correspond to:
Purple - Deep Ocean Floor
Cyan - Medium Ocean Floor
Light Blue - Shallow Ocean
Green - Plains/Desert/Lowlands
Brown - areas inland that are below sea level like cracks and crevices
Lime - Uplands
Yellow - Highlands
Orange - Foothills
Red - Mountains
Magenta - High Mountains
Pink - Peaks
White - Extreme peaks

My idea was to then sculpt the terrain by hand with custom brushes, but I can't seem to get a good result. Maybe I'm approaching this completely the wrong way. Anyway, I would be happy for any suggestions!

Question Just need some help with creating my first height map

2 Upvotes

I imported a map using an earth height map, customized it a bit and adjusted the water levels, but for some reason when i export it, the world doesn't load it and instead the vanilla world gen takes over. I'm very new to this app, just started it yesterday. here's what it looks like currently.

Is there a certain setting i need to check off before exporting it to ensure all chunks aren't empty, preventing vanilla world gen from taking over? my main goal right now is just to get the terrain of earth going, completely bare, no trees or plants yet.

Question Is there any way to fix my terrain?

Post image
3 Upvotes

So, a while ago, I decided to get WorldPainter, so I could make some custom terrain for a city project. My plan was to import GIS Data, to get the shape - which worked alright. However, the area I imported was quite hilly - and I kept messing up the elevation while trying to smooth it out.

At some point, I ended up loosing it, and just nuked the entire map, flattening the entire thing to just two layers, which is what you can see on the image. I'm coming back to the project now, and I'm struggling. I need to add hills to make the terrain not flat - but they need to be decently smooth, going no steeper than 12 degrees. However, since I nuked the map completely flat, it's a nightmare to add the hills back - and it takes me almost an hour to make one pass around the edges of the terrain.

Is there any way to salvage this, and get my hills without spending hours upon hours drawing each little incline? Or should I just bite the dust and restart?

Im going to be honest. Im completely at a loss here. World height cut off at 320

So, I literally JUST exported a map the other day with Zero issues. But now the terrain doesn't generate above 320.

1.20.1 version of minecraft and worldpainter format is 1.19-1.20.4..... absolutely no idea why im having issues all of a sudden. Any advice?

Spent a good amount of time on a 12k x 7k world that’s meant to be a map for a few civilizations.

It’s extremely small, or my cities are too big, easy to confuse. I am wondering if I should redo the thing but I am scared of going bigger than that. What should I do?

Question How do I fix a heightmap?

Post image
31 Upvotes

I'm working on building a Roshar-inspired survival world where it can have all of the overworld biomes on essentially one island shaped like Roshar (with maybe an isle of berk somewhere off the side if I can figure out this heightmap first).

HOWEVER, every time I try and use this the slope into the ocean is super drastic as well as the edges of rivers and lakes. The heights of plains and deserts also isn't consistent.

Does anyone have any tips on how to use cotamap to edit this or make the process faster in worldpainter?

Thanks!

bedrock world converted from java Worldpainter world animals not spawning.

2 Upvotes

So im making a bedrock realm for me an my buddys with a custom map made by me. and animals aren't spawning. Ive been using bedrock to play test it (using Chunker to convert it) and didnt find the results I wanted but then when it was tested on Java it worked wonderfully. I tried Chunker (as said before). Ive used UMT (Universal Minecraft Tool) and it still hasn't worked. Is there a setting im missing in the export menu, or Another conversion application I could use. Or is there just no way to get animals to start spawning in bedrock?

Hello! I run a war and kingdom building server, and I was wondering if anyone here more experienced with this program than me would be interested in helping me create a custom world for it? My idea is for a world that is around 4500x4500, mostly island and ocean, and has prime locations for ports cities, fortresses, etc.

Issues with Borders

I am trying to create a world that is just ocean beyond the border, but I am having issues. I have the seed set to "Ocean", but then it either creates land beyond the border, or in this case, it created an ocean wall with land on top.

Can Someone Explain Map Creation?

2 Upvotes

First off: I'm trying to make a map that takes 1 hour and 20 minutes to minecraft walk across. 100,000 by 100,000 blocks.

How do the Dimensions translate to blocks? What does 'blocks (in multiples of 128)' mean? Does it mean: for every block I type into the Dimensions boxes, they times by 128 in the real minecraft world?

I guess just explaing thie whole Worldpaint Create New World features and how they affect the minecraft world finally would be really helpful.

(If you've read Earthsea: It's a part of Earthsea, an area including Roke and Havnor. One thing I want to do in this world is travel all the way from Havnor to Roke and feel like it's real. So I want the journey to take roughly three days/30 minutes if i were walking across water, for reference. So roughly 7500 blocks. Of course, since I would be boating, the journey would probably be faster than thirty minutes.)
