Many mappers have options for different overhead and angled modes, and some will limit the map to selected block types or slice the map into smaller pieces. [edit] Map Viewers Map viewers are read-only and have an interactive interface. [edit] Map Editors Map editors alter an existing level's terrain or other properties, such as player position and time of day. [edit] Map Generators These programs will either create a new level with custom terrain, or "implant" new blocks into an existing level. [edit] Bugs If you edit in a block that is not yet added in the game, eg: hardened clay, it will say instead 'future block! ' [edit] More bugs. [MAPPING] Using real world terrain data.

This tutorial is adapted from the following tutorial for mapping in the Unreal series of games. credit goes to D-Hunter from those forums... without the initial steps provided there, I'd be unable to help here.

[MAPPING] Using real world terrain data

SO! You want to make a scaled version of Mount Everest in a Minecraft map? Well, you're crazy... the vertical limit makes that impossible.** But you can still have fun importing real world terrain data into a map, and this is how! ** May now be possible as WorldPainter supports a few vertical height limit mods You will need the following: - Google Earth - - This plugin for Google Earth - (.kmz file) - MicroDEM Map Tool - - A program to edit BMP's. Step 1: Load Google Earth, with the plugin you just downloaded.

Step 2: Locate the area you wish to import, and take note of the label of the 'chunk' it is in (eg. srtm_63_18). Step 2.b (optional): Using google, search for the data set. WRS-1 Path/Row Shapefile. GLCF: Data Download Guide. GLCF: Global Land Survey (GLS) DEM. The GLS collection was made possible by the development of more accurate elevation models with global or regional coverage, including the National Elevation Dataset (NED) of the USA, the Canadian Digital Elevation Dataset (CDED) of Canada, the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) covering most of the globe, and the Global 30 Arc Second Elevation Dataset (GTOPO30) covering the northern latitudes.

GLCF: Global Land Survey (GLS) DEM

In order to orthorectify the GLS scenes, the above elevation data were coordinated into the GLSDEM product. To enable direct comparison and visualization of the GLSDEM with other Landsat TM and ETM based products, the GLCF produce GLSDEM files in WRS-2 tiles in the GeoTIFF format, UTM projection and WGS84 datum of the corresponding GLS datasets. For each path/row, the original USGS Degree Tiles are mosaicked and subset with a 9km buffer to reproduce GLSDEMs. Table1. Input elevation datasets to the GLSDEM and their sources, resolutions, and areal coverage. Index of /data/srtm-tif. Minecraft as an Education Tool.

How to Create an Epic Build in Minecraft « Minecraft

It is a creative tool. Over the past year and a half countless epic builds, servers, and community projects have been undertaken. I'm sure some of you have seen the one-to-one scale recreation of the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek or the epic server Godcraft. Countless projects such as these are being worked on as we speak, and they serve to inspire us all. Have you found yourself inspired with a dream build while at a loss as to how to realize it? This week, I chose some generic build ideas just to present the basic premise of the scope, scale, time and effort required for your respective project ideas. There are many ways is to realize your ideas and I do not claim to understand them all, but from my experience on Minecraft projects and servers, I have elicited a method that is sure to help you along in the act of creation.
