New Release WorldPainter 2.27.0 Released - Minecraft 26 Support

8 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.

Question How do I fix a heightmap?

Post image
16 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!

It is supposedly in with the Tools, but it's not there. Did I download an old version? It says its v27.

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?

Question World Painters for Hire?

5 Upvotes

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.)

suggestion: Live Heightmap importing

Hey, whenever I'm importing heightmaps for ceiling layers (and in general) it would be nice if I could view how the new terrain will intersect with the overworld dimension. Current workflow I have to import it and just find out kind of.

Datapack errors after updating Worldpainter

2 Upvotes

I updated worldpainter today and tried to export a format 1.21.11 world (i tried a few different options), and then tried to run it in 1.21.11. I get datapack errors when trying to load it into minecraft, and it only lets me use safe mode which cuts off the hight past 320. Before updating, this feature worked fine.

The world has extended height enabled with height range -64 to 1536. Note that the world is script generated, I use wp.getMapFormat().withId('org.pepsoft.anvil.1.21.11').go() (or similar strings for when i tried it with other world formats). Any reason why this might be happening?

Question World import problem

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to create a color-coded map in WorldPainter so I can make the terrain, then export it to Minecraft and use it as a guide when building.

At the moment I have the original PNG image, a .schem file I made from it, and a Minecraft world with the schematic pasted.

The problem is that when I import the Minecraft world into WorldPainter, around half of the blocks are missing.

Is there another way to get the color-coded map into WorldPainter? If the PNG, the .schem file, or the Minecraft world can be used some other way, that would be fine too.

I know I could just use the image as a reference and paint everything by hand, but the map is really big, so that would take a long time.

Any suggestions?
