Biome Painter is a stand-alone program for editing biome data in Minecraft save files using the Anvil file format introduced in Minecraft 1.2.

About

After loading a region, left click to paint your choice over the map of the region and right click to erase.

In one case an area has been selected information technology can be filled with a item biome or accept all instances of a item biome within the selection replaced with some other biome.

In addition to capricious biomes, the biome generation from various versions of Minecraft tin can be used to populate the selected area with the biomes that would take been at those particular coordinates while playing that version.

Many thanks to Sysfailure for this wonderfully washed tutorial video:

Points of Confusion
- The left mouse button can be used to paint a choice over the map of the current region, and the right mouse push button to erase that pick.
- This program merely alters biomes, which affect the shade of grass, water, and the heaven, what mobs can spawn in an area, and whether rain or snow is possible. For example, later on irresolute an expanse from taiga or ice plains to some other biome such as forest, existing ice and snow comprehend will remain until removed using another tool such as MCEdit or removed manually in Minecraft.
- If, however, you use the "Gear up Chunks in Selection to exist Populated" option under the Edit carte du jour, the next fourth dimension the specified chunks are loaded in Minecraft information technology will fill up them with trees, snow cover, water, lava, and ores depending on the biome(s) the chunk is in. If that chunk has already been populated or already has player-made structures in it, you lot may discover it clogged with more foliage than yous wanted. Besides smooth stone in your structures may be replaced with ores, dirt, or gravel. I strongly advise that if you lot determine to use this feature you make sure you take a current backup re-create of your world before proceeding.
- The outermost 2 chunks (32 blocks) forth the border of the image are from the regions adjacent to the currently loaded ane and read-only. Thier purpose is to help with lining up changes to biomes along the border between two regions. To edit those blocks yous demand to switch to the region that contains them.
- Custom cake color and biome definitions should be added to Blocks.user.txt and Biomes.user.txt respectively. The other two files, Blocks.default.txt and Biomes.default.txt tin exist kept upward to date from "Check for updates" under the Help carte. Entries in the user files always override entries in the default.
- If a world was created earlier Minecraft 1.2 and needed to be converted, Minecraft will have populated each chunk's biome information based on the biome generation from version 1.1. Minecraft will still utilise the latest biome generation code for newly generated chunks in any earth whether it was originally converted or not.
- When filling a selection with biomes based on Minecraft Beta i.seven or before please think that not all biomes in that version exist in the current version of Minecraft. Every bit such, areas that would take been shrubland or seasonal woods are all prepare to forest, for example. Areas that would accept been swampland in Beta ane.7 are set to forest in order to look a shut as possible to how they would have in the past. Additionally the Beta i.seven biome rainforest is set to yield the Minecraft 1.2 biome jungle.

Awesome! BiomeEdit can do the same thing, only with yours, we can actually select what biomes we want changed based off of the map's Region format.
Thank you for this program. It helped to finally bring a serious to me example, to close (I thought the Anvil format messed up my map's biomes. This shows they didn't).

I will never use SPC's /biome control for the rest of my life. It gave me zilch but grief of this.

Between BiomeEdit for massive unattended area conversions and this for detail piece of work, I couldn't be much happier! It's letting me seriously tweak the hazard map I'chiliad working on. Information technology's even allowing for special furnishings of sorts. I tin can't go into much more detail on that however, as it'southward a hush hush idea I've had.

I do accept some feedback however. I've noticed that where the mouse is pointing, and where Biome Painter thinks the mouse is pointing can be 2 unlike places. Also, the altitude between these 2 points, can change, depending on where in the screen you are pointing.

I'd also suggest a couple of features.
1: Instead of the panning sliders, peradventure something like Photoshop. Agree space and then click and hold the mouse to elevate.

2: The ability to highlight a region of biome data and re-create it exactly to another region of the map. It would be good for anyone using portal tricks to make y'all appear in a dissimilar version of the same area, yet with identical biomes. This is something I'm currently working on, and the sheer scale of the build means there is no other area anywhere most by with fifty-fifty vaguely similar biomes.

Other than this, I merely have i word to say. FANTASTIC!!! A Notch for you lot!

I'chiliad glad you like information technology. And I really capeesh the feedback. I tin't promise anything, only I'll look into both of your suggestions. I'll update the original mail if/when I release an updated version, simply that'll still be a couple of days from now at least.

I accept also noticed that some biome overlays seem to have the aforementioned colour as each other. I've got jungle and forest touching and you can't tell the difference by colour. I've not played with lots of the other biomes yet, so I not sure others match.

Hmmm jungle and woods should be different colors, here's what I get http://imgur.com/cRJVP. I can try and brand them less similar.

A great fiddling program! It'south helping me sort out the mess of our hybrid one.seven.iii / ane.8.1 / 1.2 world which I discovered yesterday likewise had a spontaneous seed-change somewhere along the way. Sigh. Damn power cuts!

A couple of suggestions:
1. Ability to show a clamper grid layer
2. Select by chunks
3. Undo!
None of these are hugely important just they'd be nice. You lot can do ii by marking in a chunk and choosing Select Chunks and 3 past some clever use of Capsize or as a last resort selecting another region and chucking your changes. A very usable program for a first release.

That's cool. I don't have much experience with World Painter. I'grand not criticizing information technology at all, only it seems more suited to creating new worlds than editing existing ones with existing structures. I designed Biome Painter to exist useful in making pocket-sized tweaks to biomes in a world equally it is rather than making sweeping changes to the mural.

WorldPainter is a great looking programme with heaps of potential. I'chiliad sure I could spend hours and hours piffling with mural. It's just the affair for creating your custom world simply the fashion yous want information technology...from scratch.

BUT it's a totally unlike programme. Information technology doesn't even operate on Minecraft maps - information technology uses its own format. Information technology can import landscape from a map and it can export to Anvil map format, simply it'southward non a map editor. All that importing and exporting is not very applied for simply adjusting some biomes and it can't generate biomes from unlike versions of Minecraft.

As well WorldPainter is a year quondam. Hardly a fair comparing. Biome Painter is just starting out and will no doubt get more sophisticated as it goes along.

TLDR: I love WorldPainter simply it wouldn't even occur to me to use information technology to edit some biomes.

New version, download link in original post. The most important modify this fourth dimension is that under the Edit bill of fare, you can flag the currently selected chunks to be repopulated by Minecraft. I strongly propose backing up a world earlier trying this.

Chunks set to be populated past Minecraft will be will filled with trees, snowfall comprehend, h2o, lava, and ores depending on the biome(southward) the chunk is in. If that chunk has already been populated or already has histrion-fabricated structures in information technology, you may find information technology clogged with more foliage than you wanted. Also shine stone in your structures may be replaced with ores, dirt, or gravel. Over again, backup before trying!

Other changes include a dramatic reduction in the fourth dimension it takes to save a clamper, and castor size being adjustable by holding ctrl and moving the mouse wheel. Every bit before, the map tin exist zoomed in and out with the mouse wheel, without holding the ctrl primal.

For the complete list of changes, please see https://github.com/mblaine/BiomePainter/blob/principal/CHANGELOG.txt. Feedback of any kind is appreciated. And thanks for reading this mail service and/or using my program.

New version, download link in original post.

It's looking good - the brush visibility was something I was going to suggest. Next suggestion - arrow buttons at the edges of the brandish to motility between regions.

A way more complicated proffer: information technology'd exist great to be able to select a particular type of terrain and apply a biome to it. I realise this is a little more hard for a program to recognize than for me, simply information technology would be useful. Peradventure you could have a command to expand a selection to all similar side by side terrain. A simple place to kickoff might exist selecting all the water in the region.

Keep up the good piece of work!

For some reason the tool doesn't piece of work for me. I used it to pigment over some swamps and taiga and replace them with plains. And then I went into MCEdit, and deleted the chunks in guild to regenerate them with the new biome'southward terrain. However, it only regenerated the previous terrain. Am I doing information technology wrong? I made sure to relieve all the regions as I painted over them.

For some reason the tool doesn't piece of work for me. I used information technology to paint over some swamps and taiga and supercede them with plains. And then I went into MCEdit, and deleted the chunks in guild to regenerate them with the new biome's terrain. Even so, it merely regenerated the previous terrain. Am I doing it incorrect? I made sure to save all the regions equally I painted over them.

You deleted the chunks. How can you lot have any biome information stored if y'all delete the chunks?

Y'all need to make a selection in MCEdit (not a chunk selection) and delete the blocks and entities, not chunks.

I oasis't experimented with the new repopulate option, just you could likewise endeavor that instead of using MCEdit. Nether the Edit bill of fare in Biome Painter utilize "Gear up Chunks in Choice to be Populated". This might do what you desire.

Fill-in first!

You need to brand a selection in MCEdit (not a chunk selection) and delete the blocks and entities, not chunks.

I haven't experimented with the new repopulate option, just you lot could also try that instead of using MCEdit. Nether the Edit card in Biome Painter apply "Set Chunks in Choice to exist Populated". This might do what you lot desire.

Hmmmm. Except I don't think Minecraft will regenerate empty chunks, only if in that location'southward no chunk there at all. And no chunk means no biome data either. I'm non certain there'due south a way to generate whole new terrain of a specific biome without modding Minecraft itself or using some tool I haven't seen yet.

Setting chunks to be populated by Minecraft will fill them with found life and/or snow and water ice based on biomes the next time Minecraft is run without actually changing the dirt/grass/sand/stone. Not sure if that suits your needs, Rayziik. But as SeansanAstrail said, I'd strongly recommend making a backup of your world before trying information technology.

OK...something that might really work.

In MCEdit select the area you desire to change and replace wood, leaves and snow with air.

Delete Entities.

In Biome Painter change the biomes to plains and set the chunks to repopulate.

Open in Minecraft.
