WorldPainter

WorldPainter is an interactive graphical tool for creating custom terrain maps for Minecraft Java Edition. It presents a paint‑like interface where users can sculpt landforms, apply surface materials, and add features such as trees, snow, and ice using familiar brush and selection tools. The program runs on Java and requires at least Java 17, with installers available for Windows, macOS (Intel and ARM), and various Linux distributions.

The software is aimed at Minecraft players and map designers who want to build detailed worlds without manually editing blocks in‑game. By exporting the painted canvas, creators can generate a ready‑to‑load map file that can be opened directly in Minecraft, streamlining the workflow from design to gameplay.

WorldPainter is distributed as free, open‑source software and includes basic documentation, a FAQ, and community support channels such as a subreddit and Discord server. Installers are provided for multiple architectures, and portable archives are available for users who prefer a non‑installer setup.
