WorldPainter is an interactive map generator for Minecraft. It allows you to "paint" landscapes using similar tools as a regular paint program. Sculpt and mould the terrain, paint materials, trees, snow and ice, etc. onto it, and much more.

WorldPainter is implemented in Java. If you do not have Java installed, install it first from the links below. It needs at least version 8, or 11 for running JavaScript scripts.

WorldPainter does not contain any virus or malware! If your virus scanner says it does, it is a false positive. Please report it as such to the makers, and use the "unquarantine" or equivalent function of your virus scanner, or disable it temporarily, to install and run WorldPainter. See this page for more information. VirusTotal results for these download links can be found here.

There is not much documentation yet, but the program should be pretty self-explanatory. To play the map, choose Export in the File menu. Just experiment and try everything out. Don't forget to check the menus, and to see what happens if you right-click instead of left-clicking.

Having said that, the documentation, such as it is (including a FAQ), can be found here. There is an official YouTube channel which may one day contain tutorials but is currently empty.

For official support, go to the official WorldPainter subreddit. There is also an unofficial, fan-run Discord server.

WorldPainter has a merch store! Support the development and be the envy of your friends: www.worldpainter.store
