How to Map your Minecraft World - Tutorial with Free Software

[@kutlisinoo]

I have so much respect for you

[@serbobertross5948]

Thank you :)

[@BoebieBaby]

Never knew I needed this until now. My friend group has been using the same world file since ~2019 and each year we select a new spawn point. Can't wait to try this out with that map!

[@corkscrewfork]

This is brilliant!! I used to use Inkarnate when I was trying to come up with a DnD campaign (RIP Tyndall, a victim to The Curse of Gaming) and never would've thought to use it for my Minecraft worlds!

[@TheAstrocricket]

Dude I've been looking for something like this for months now. You are a god send. Great video!

[@serbobertross5948]

Glad you liked it, and thank you!

[@cubico22]

Awesome, I didn't know about Inkarnate. I was drawing my maps on Procreate. Great tutorial :)

[@antonshumachkov5195]

It is cool that you get as far as drawing map for your world. I'm just making an isometric render for my developed part of my world to show changes in my world.

[@spitefulginger]

Holy cow, what a hidden gem of a channel. Fantastic work mate! I’m going to be binging your channel after I finish the video up. Keep it up!

[@serbobertross5948]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!

[@2023I-e2f]

Dude, i love your content. I respect you very much, you're building and story telling is awesome. I barely can comprehend that somebody's brain can work that well. Your videos really inspire me to try to do my own world. Keep it up man, again much respect.

[@serbobertross5948]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Good luck with your world and worldbuilding

[@Skellitor301_VA]

Gotta say, I never thought to use Inkarnate for this. That's honestly a great use of the tool! btw, you're saying subtract wrong and it's a bit distracting. There's only one 'S' in the word

[@briantbb2749]

I was looking for this yeah this is a really good tutorial and cool idea, doesn't take away from it at all but him saying 'substract' over and over again was distracting as heck

[@Skellitor301_VA]

@@briantbb2749 100% still a great tutorial but yeah XD

[@GuantesBlancos]

Thank you! 🙏 I've used both MCA selector and Inkarnate before, but I've never thought about combining the two. Will definitely use this in the future.

[@serbobertross5948]

Glad it was helpful, good luck with your maps, I'd love to see them one day :)

[@TheJas-vr2vr]

ooh this has made me wonder about how to make a tool which would turn a Minecraft world into a map (I don't think it'd be able to identify points of interest but it could get the terrain styling done)

[@ezequielblanco8659]

This was my first thought as well. Ideally the tool would allow you to add/remove points of interest, move/scale text labels, all in a user friendly way.

[@Linardminecraft]

this is soo cool, I'll try it out. Thanks for the tutorial :)

[@sunflowerhandler]

this is so fun! i love seeing the unique ways you bring life to the world. this is really interesting

[@unclebaya]

You explain so well. It’s a pleasure to listen to you. Thanks for sharing

[@serbobertross5948]

I’m glad you enjoyed, I know you were looking forward to this one for a while :)

very recent subscriber here, im always so excited to see youve uploaded! :D

[@serbobertross5948]

I’m glad to hear it :)

[@TheDesolator13]

Excellent tutorial! I was very curious how you did your maps, and now I know.

[@serbobertross5948]

Hey glad you enjoyed the vid :)

[@starf0rge]

You have some incredible creativity, i hope you see more success in the future !!!

[@serbobertross5948]

Thank you so much :D

[@AardvarkRS]

Thank you for the tutorial mate !! 😃👍

[@AardvarkRS]

Quick question, I don't know if you've answered this question before, but do you have Reddit or Twitter (now X) where you post updates / maps too ?

[@serbobertross5948]

I have a reddit where I post some Minecraft/Map stuff very infrequently (u/p00lscloseddue2aids) and a Twitter where I mostly repost the work of other Minecraft builders I find inspiring (@Ser_Robert_Ross). The discord is definitely where I'm the most active, and you can always ask me to post something specific there if you want (build updates, screenshots of an older build, map showcase, etc.)

[@GGServersLtd]

Awesome!

[@HaoshWantsCookie]

This is so cool!! Thank you for sharing your secrets with us 🙏

[@serbobertross5948]

It’s my pleasure, I love the sense of community in this KZbin channel and being able to share all I’ve learnt over the past 13 years :)

[@TheeSlickShady_Dave_K]

Beyond incredible! My jaw dropped watching this And I thought Flip Silverpen was good

[@GutMuncherZero]

That's terrific!

[@skyrix_24]

thank you so much for this 🙏🏻🔥

[@bubbledashmc]

woah thats so cool

[@Seagull3356]

Amazing video

[@contonium365]

I personally reccomend the aazgar fantasy map generator. Not exactly just for this purpose, but it can be used for it.

[@humanharddrive1]

this tool is so good, i really love your world too

[@serbobertross5948]

Thank you :)

[@kairu_b]

Interesting

[@UmarTsvigun-pv2bc]

You heard my prayers

[@nnmrts]

KZbin thought I would like to watch this video. It was damn right.

[@BririanLife]

This was the best inkarnate tutorial video iv ever seen so far! and iv seen a lot! Question: I know a year or so ago you mentioned a content creator you watch who also builds castles and stuff that youve been inspired by or has helped you stay motivated to continue your projects. Im wondering who that person was? I thought i was subscribed to them, but i guess not since i cant find them nor remember their name. I think it may have been someone youve mentioned before when you were building castle lesly or another one prior.....

[@serbobertross5948]

I’m glad you liked the video. I’ll say that the creator I watch the most is Bdoubleo100, although I may have mentioned Fwhip. I have other inspirations but those are the big two. I also talk about the Westeroscraft server

[@BririanLife]

@@serbobertross5948 hmm.... none of those are the ones i was remembering. maybe ill watch some of your other videos and see if you posted a link to the person im trying to find

[@serbobertross5948]

@ I never posted links to other channels, except for in the one year retrospective

[@BririanLife]

@@serbobertross5948 OH WOW! Found it! It was T17N

[@verticleaxis2920]

The Inkarnate bit with uploading the world image as a stamp isn't in the free version as custom stamps are only for the paid version. Otherwise lovely tutorial!

[@sebastianodiraviolo499]

I also cant recommend unmined enough, its a great Tool

[@serbobertross5948]

I hadn't heard of it before, I'll link it in the description for other people as an alternative to MCA Selector :)

[@sebastianodiraviolo499]

​@@serbobertross5948 check IT Out i dont know my way around mca selector but unminend can also remove and "disect your world very well, for example you can remove foliage, tree Trunks and snow which combined with raytraced Shadow can really Help understanding the Landscape which is really useful for planing Out roads and stuff

[@PulsePolly]

World painter doesnt work well on mac anymore so i decided just to learn how to do it by hand

[@DeBoggedMC]

Is mca also for mac? I‘m a mac user and want to make a map of my own world. If not, is there some kind of mod to do this? Edit: Oh nevermind found a mod called xaerod world map

[@LeoS.B.Rosevillte]

[@sefhammer6276]

How do I do this with multiplayer?

[@harristhethird5056]

Is it possible to do the grass/sand/water painting in Krita?

[@serbobertross5948]

Yes of course. The only difference is that you can't paint something to only be foreground or background. There are tons of texture effects you can add, and free custom brushes other people have made, that will give similar textures to those found on Inkarnate

[@Killersanchez256]

When I install MCA selector I get an error that says "failed to find java vm". What should I do?

[@serbobertross5948]

I'm sorry I haven't encountered that issue before

[@SkylarWhiteYo]

Just wondering does the MCA selector work with mods

[@serbobertross5948]

It works fine with the mods I have, not sure how it interacts with mods that add new blocks to the game

[@cooldark9608]

First to comment I used that software before

[@serbobertross5948]

Hey cooldark, always nice to see you in the comments :)

[@CariedRanger]

Does this tool work witg mods especialy multiblocks?

[@serbobertross5948]

I'm not sure, I haven't tried it with multiblocks or any mods that add blocks

[@SpaceCowboy_with_a_glowstick]

Does MCA work on bedrock or Java?

[@serbobertross5948]

It works on JAVA. I believe Unmined does something similar for Bedrock

[@AOA9871]

For some reason I was unable to import my world into MCA Selector. I have the world folder saved and I use Windows edition. Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

[@serbobertross5948]

Try using the uNmINeD link the description, it may work better for Windows edition than MCA Selector

For some reason I was unable to upload my map as a stamp in inkarnate. Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

[@serbobertross5948]

The file might be too big. If so, try using a png compressor.

[@zarkox8384]

@serbobertross5948 Sorry, I haven't explained myself the correct way. The problem I'm having is that to upload a personalized sticker Inkarnate tells me I can't do it as a free account.

[@serbobertross5948]

@@zarkox8384oh I’m sorry, that might be case. I didn’t realize while filming but someone said you can’t upload a sticker on a free Inkarnate account unfortunately. I don’t have a good workaround, but if you don’t want to use Krita you can wait for free trial periods on Inkarnate. Last year there were free trials of Inkarnate Pro in November and during the Summer.

[@zarkox8384]

@@serbobertross5948 Okay, thanks for the help!
