WorldPainter mod for Minecraft: Everything you need to know

When players enter Minecraft, they will be greeted with an endless world with all kinds of terrain. Some biomes will have flattish surfaces, while other regions will have massive mountains with unique terrain. All these are generated naturally when the player creates a new world in the game.

Though Minecrafters can manually create new terrain by placing blocks one by one, it can be a tedious and time-taking task depending on the project size. Hence, they can use a nifty tool called WorldPainter. Here is everything you need to know about the software.

To download the WorldPainter software, users can search for it online. WorldPainter has an official website from which the latest software can be downloaded. It can be installed on Windows, MacOS, and Linux since it only works with the Java Edition of the game.

When the website opens, users can directly see the operating systems' download links. Simply select the OS and download the WorldPainter installer.

Once the software is downloaded, users can open it and install WorldPainter. Remember, this is a separate application that won't be directly connected to the game.

Of course, the WorldPainter app is so extensive and detailed that not every setting can be explored in a single article. When users open the software, it will look similar to the 3D Paint application on Windows. All the terrain edits and tweaks will be done on WorldPainter, and the changes can be extracted as a Minecraft world file that can be entered into the game.

First, users can create a new world and select the latest version of the game to ensure that the custom world opens appropriately in the compatible game version. Once this is done, players can choose from various tools, brushes, and blocks.

The best way to mess around with the application is by selecting the 'height' tool and clicking the terrain on the screen to create crests and troughs. This is the primary method of generating custom mountains.

Players can also download different brushes for WorldPainter from various websites. Though the basic tools provided are good enough, those who want to properly get into learning the WorldPainter can get these custom brushes and additional tools.
