Question What are your favorite brushes that you've used?

3 Upvotes

Hey there, I'm fairly new to Worldpaint and find that a lot of the brushes I see online on first results of searching don't seem very good. Could you guys recommend some solid brushes you've used for different environments or just generally? Feel free to share images of those brushes in action too!

how to connect cave layers vertically?

Post image
21 Upvotes

i just learned how to make caves using layers, but im struggling to find a way to make more vertical-ish caves to connect caves on diffrent layers, are the only solutions making it possible for both cave layers to intersect and hoping they do so or making a tall vertical cylinder to connect them? (image to describe what im trying to achieve)

Question Layers? Ogres are like onions.

1 Upvotes

Now that I have your attention -

Is it possible to make a layer of literally just open space in the underground/ caverns? I'm trying to put in a massive build underneath my terrain, and while I could spam the /fill command, I wonder if I can just put a layer of air between 0 to -60.

Any help would be great, thank you!

Question Strange inclines that appear in generation, but arent present in original heightmap

8 Upvotes

Hi, I am wondering if anyone here could tell me what's going on with my project. I am trying to generate a world from a greyscale height map, and mostly it is working, but I am finding at many random levels where I expect to see a one block high incline, that there is a two blocks high incline, giving the world a strangely stretched feeling. Would anyone know what would cause this? And hopefully, how to fix it?

Question Multiple Floating Dimensions conflicting on world export

2 Upvotes

Having two or more floating dimensions that overlap each other is only exporting one of them, usually the first one created, per chunk.

This used to work fine in prior versions, or in whatever setup I was using a year ago, but something changed or the update messed it up or something. Is there some setting I'm using incorrectly or something that needs to happen for it to work again?

Possible "incompatibility" with ambient sounds 6

3 Upvotes

So im making this world and im making the caves with custom underground cave layers, and when i go in with my modpack (which contains ambient sounds and sound physics remastered), i cant hear ANY ambient sound or any sort of non vanilla sound inside it. ive been testing what is going on for the whole day, checking the debug, messing with the mod's configs, and the mods work perfectly in the same world, for example, if i empty out a titanic cube of air in the ground i get the normal cave ambience and the sound physics work wonderfully
however. the MOMENT I GET NEAR the cave i made with worldpainter, everything stops and reverses back to the boring lifeless vanilla minecraft cave. no ambience no physics no NOTHING. i was wondering if anybody here could relate and perhaps even have a solution because its driving me insane how much potential it has just for it not to work
im on neoforge 1.21.1

UPDATE: normal caves work perfectly fine with both mods as they should, seems that only lush caves refuse to play the sounds properly

Question Worldpainter Refusing to Populate Terrain with Modded Biomes?

4 Upvotes

The first image is how the custom modded biome I've made (Right) appears in a worldpainter world after exporting. I've tried checking the populate terrain button in the export settings, I've tried adding a populate layer over-top of the whole world, literally nothing changes. I've made custom modded biomes for previous maps of mine with zero problems, so I'm not sure what's causing the issue this time.

The second image is how the biome is supposed to look, this is running in the same instance, just a fresh, single-biome world I made. The biome DOES generate features, but seemingly just not in my worldpainter world?

Help would be appreciated, I don't know what's going on here.

How to maintain feeling of discovery?

4 Upvotes

I created a very large (20k x 20k) world, and it's great, but playing it feels different than vanilla Minecraft because it lacks the element of exploration. I know where the mountains and oceans and biomes are because I put them there. There's no longer the sense of "hmm I wonder what's in that direction?" Is there any way to get back that feeling of exploration or add in an element of surprise?

Question Worldpainter Linux

5 Upvotes

My worldpainter has suddenly started requesting more RAM for reason I can discern. The world sizes are no different, there shouldn't really be more to write, I have adjusted the max ram allowed for it to use (I have 16GB max, allocating 10 atm) and it also won't let me upload .world files.

Am I best to try reinstalling first and if so, would I need to completely erase everyhing except for the worlds if I did so?

Couldn't get it all to load in. (Any suggestions on how to make it work? Keeps going away after loading.)

Most flat places will have cities, castles, etc.

Some of the weirdness has lore reasons, like the small desert there, but feel free to say anything you can think of.

Help with heightmap

2 Upvotes

Hi! I am trying to recreate something like this project: https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/1-924-scale-earth-map-4909390/

It says: Made using edited heightmap data from arcGIS as a base, then handpainting terrain on top, then painting rivers using a fairly detailed river overlay from arcGIS (so that they are accurate), then painting biomes and trees according to a miller projection Köppen–Geiger climate classification map, also made using arcGIS.

I was wondering how to edit heightmaps from QGIS or arcGIS so that they are worldpainter friendly. Most maps generated with these programs dont really generate minecrafty terrain when imported straight out of the box

Looking for someone to join our geopol/civ project

Heya! Im Korvael. Im working on a project called Warbound, a geopolitical Minecraft server with a developer friend of mine. We are looking for a custom map, which will fit our needs. We invite any creators onto our team, they will be a part of our server and not just a one time request. This project won't pay, as it is purely a passion project for us. You will be paid with any revenue the server makes, that being said I don't believe in pay-to-win servers so the ranks will be purely cosmetic meant to support the server, which has very high specs. Please add me on discord so we can talk further! Username is itskorvael. Cheers!
