Paint terrain in the map editor

Brushes, biomes, and generators for shaping a plane.

Last reviewed

The map editor lets you build a world's geography directly rather than sourcing an image for it.

  1. Open the world and enter the map editor.
  2. Pick a biome and a brush size, and paint the broad shapes first — landmass before coastline, coastline before detail.
  3. Use a generator for a starting point if you would rather edit than begin from blank.
  4. Layer detail on top: mountains, forests, rivers.
