WorldPainter is a program that allows users to create and paint custom Minecraft worlds and terrain. It is a map generator, not an editor, and is used to generate new maps that can be edited with other tools. The program is simple and easy to use, and users can create a map within 10 minutes. However, for a more detailed map, one might spend 1-2 hours. To create a survival world with WorldPainter, one must first download and install the program, choosing their operating system. Once the program is open, one can create a new world, customizing the dimensions to their liking. Users can then start adding beaches and deserts to their world, being mindful of the different options for dirt, sand, and stone blocks. After terraforming, one can select Biomes and choose from various options, keeping in mind that the intensity of a biome determines its density. Finally, users can add trees by selecting Deciduous or Pine on the Layers tab and painting on the map where they want the trees to be.

What You'll Learn
Download and install WorldPainter
WorldPainter is an interactive map generator for Minecraft Java Edition. It allows you to "paint" landscapes using similar tools as a regular paint program. You can sculpt and mould the terrain, paint materials, trees, snow and ice, etc. onto it, and much more.
To download and install WorldPainter, follow these steps:
- Check if you have Java installed on your computer. WorldPainter is implemented in Java and requires at least version 8, or version 11 for running JavaScript scripts. Install Java if you don't have it already.
- Visit the official WorldPainter website to download the software. Search for "WorldPainter for Minecraft" and click on the first official website, where you can find all the download links for different operating systems.
- Download the software that will work separately from Minecraft.
- Once you have downloaded the installer, launch it and install WorldPainter. You will need to choose between 64-bit or 32-bit versions, depending on your Windows system type.
- If you encounter any issues during installation, refer to the Troubleshooting page on the official website. It offers solutions or workarounds for various problems, including error messages, missing chunks, and virus scanner alerts.
- If you continue to have problems installing WorldPainter, you can try using one of the installerless archives available for 64-bit Windows, 32-bit Windows, Mac OS X, and UNIX/Linux. Note that these are not recommended and unsupported.
- After installation, the installer will automatically prompt you to open the application.
- Create a new world and select the latest version of Minecraft that WorldPainter can support to ensure compatibility.

Create a new world
WorldPainter is a program that allows you to create and "paint" custom Minecraft worlds and terrain. It is a map generator, not an editor. To create a new world:
- Download WorldPainter from http://www.worldpainter.net/
- Choose your operating system.
- Install the program.
- Open WorldPainter.
- Click "File" and then "New World".
- Create the dimensions to your liking, but don't go overboard. A size of 1000x1000 is suitable.
- Start adding beaches and deserts to your world. Be mindful of the various options available for dirt, sand, and stone blocks. For example, when adding a beach, use a solid brush and slide it gently along the border of your island to avoid grass blocks mixing with the sand.
- Once you are done terraforming, click on "Biomes" and select the biomes you want in your world. Remember that the intensity of a biome determines its density.
- If you want to add trees, select "Deciduous" (for normal trees) or "Pine" on the Layers tab. The tool is sensitive to brush strength, so keep it at half strength. Paint on the map where you want the trees.
- To get jungle trees, populate the jungle biome by selecting "Populate" on the Layer tab and left-clicking on the Jungle Biome.
- View your island in 3D and make any necessary adjustments.
- Once you are happy with your island, go to "File" and then "Export". Select “Export as Minecraft map".
- Name your island and choose whether you want a border. Using water as a border is recommended. Untick "Include chest of goodies".
- Click "Export". Your island will now be rendered so you can play it on Minecraft.
Creating a new world in WorldPainter is a straightforward process, but you can further customize and fine-tune your world by experimenting with the various tools and options available.

Add beaches and deserts
To add beaches and deserts to your world, you can use terrain. There are various options available for dirt, sand, and stone blocks. When adding a beach, use a solid brush and gently slide it along the border of your island to avoid grass blocks mixing with the sand.
You can also add a grassy oasis to your desert world, which will provide players with water and dirt blocks for farming and fishing. To do this, use a small, round brush to apply a jungle layer to a strand of grassland.
If you want to add a desert pyramid, you can use the pyramid tool to add large, realistic structures. You can also experiment with different brush textures and layers to create a soft oasis for players to obtain wood outside of the desert.
Additionally, you can use the "Populate" feature in WorldPainter to generate vegetation, such as trees, in your desert and beach areas. However, be aware that the "Populate" feature may result in unexpected outcomes if mixed with other layers and features.
Finally, remember to save your project and export your world by going to "File" -> "Export World."

Choose biomes
Choosing biomes is an important step in creating a survival world with WorldPainter. Biomes are different combinations of temperature, precipitation, vegetation type, etc. They influence various aspects of the game, including the colour of grass and leaves, weather conditions, and the types of mobs that spawn.
To choose biomes for your survival world, you can use the Biomes Viewer in WorldPainter. First, find the seed, world type, and location where you want to create your world. You can drag the map with the middle or right mouse button to select the desired location. Once you've determined the location, select the tiles you want to include in your WorldPainter world. You can left-click to select or deselect individual tiles or left-click and drag to select a rectangular area of tiles. Your selection doesn't have to be rectangular or contiguous.
After selecting the tiles, you can start painting biomes onto your world. Keep in mind that the biome brushes only designate the biome type and will primarily affect the colouring of the grass and tree leaves and the types of mobs that spawn. For example, if you paint a desert biome over an area with jungle trees, the biome brush won't turn the jungle trees into cacti, but it will change the leaves and grass to a more yellowish colour.
Additionally, you can use the "Populate" feature in WorldPainter to further customize your biomes. This feature allows Minecraft to add trees, mobs, and resources to the biomes. However, it's important to note that WorldPainter cannot control exactly what Minecraft will generate within the biomes. For instance, you cannot prevent the generation of surface lakes of water or lava without using the "Populate" feature.
Once you're satisfied with your biome selections and customizations, remember to save your project. Then, you can proceed to export your world by going to "File -> Export World". This will allow you to play your custom survival world in Minecraft.

Export as a Minecraft map
Once you're happy with your world, it's time to export it. To export your world as a Minecraft map, go to "'File' and then "'Export'", selecting "'Export as Minecraft map'". Name your world and choose whether you want a border or not. Generally, water is used as a border. You can also choose to include a "chest of goodies" or not. Once you're ready, click "Export".
Your world will then render so that you can play it on Minecraft. This may take a few minutes. Once WorldPainter says it has finished exporting, open Minecraft and your world will be there. Open it up and explore!
You can always edit over the terrain with tools such as World Edit or Voxel Sniper to get a better look. If you are running a multiplayer server, you can copy the generated map directory to your Minecraft server installation directory, edit the level-name property in the server.properties file, and restart the server.
If you are experiencing chunk errors, missing chunks, or weird square patches, check the Troubleshooting page for solutions or workarounds.
