The World of Sept Seven

the world of Sept 7

Using Worldpainter — on the menu “Create New World”

Type of world: round      Topography: hilly     Surface material: grass
Minecraft seed: ocean
…Everything else was set to the default (the normal values).

Sept 7 world progression

I “scraped” the green away down to the blue level, to make the undulating coastline and islands. I made the coastline flatter (I love wide beaches!) and raised up some small hills. I added some sand (in the “terrain” palette) and various percentages of Jungle (in the “Biome” palette).

Next stage — Save World As — “Sept 7”
then — Export as new Minecraft map

When you go to export, you will get a lot of choices. Most important — remember to choose CREATIVE MODE!!!… or, when you visit your new world, YOU WILL DIE. A lot. And you won’t be able to fly, either. Especially not when you’re dead.

Border: water     World type: large biomes     Structures: no     Chest of goodies: no
Caverns: no     Chasms: yes, at 50%     Chasms break the surface: yes
Remove water and lava above openings: no     Resources: everywhere, 50%

I left everything else the way it was already set up (default).

Note that it’s a round world, and almost all the edges of the circle are water. I selected a border of water. I figured that the water edges of the round world would blend nicely into the rectangular water border. I knew that the places where land came up to the edge of the world, that would look like a cliff.

Tomorrow — What does Sept Seven look like?

Using the new custom brush

Here’s the results of yesterday’s experiments! As you recall, I tried out a new brush in Worldpainter. Here’s how the mountains turned out in real life. Uh, in Minecraft.

Here is the mountain that was built from moving the brush around in a random way.

Sept 9 bulgy mtn

To me this looks like the sort of mountain that the Minecraft software generates on its own. It fits in with the landscape. Note, I spawned a few creepers in, just to give you an idea of how big it is.

A new brush

Here’s one of the Custom Brushes I downloaded from the link (mentioned below).

It looks like a picture of a mountain, but black, white and gray. The paler the color, the higher the mountain.

I opened the WorldPainter program and drag’n’dropped it into the Custom Brushes folder. Now you have to close the program and re-open it. OK, now create a basic world…and try out the brush.

Worldpainter custom brush 2

Notice that I have the brush intensity set to 50%. For the first mountain, I clicked with the brush 15 times. For the second one, I clicked 30 times. For the third mountain, I clicked over and over while moving the brush around, making random blobs. Now…what will this look like in Minecraft?
