FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I would like to know about this becuase it would aid in a JP/JW Map im making

How about the Image loader mod?

WorldPainter for Minecraft and the image loader mod have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The two things serve two completely different purposes.

As far as I know there is nothing for Minetest that is even slightly related to what WorldPainter does.

I get confused every time someone mentions a Minecraft mod and assumes everyone in Minetest community must already know what is it about. The main topic doesn't even mention that "WorldPainter" is a Minecraft patch, I wouldn't even have known if it wasn't for Linuxdirk.

This is not a Minecraft community, please try and explain what you are talking about.

Yes, but: What? Like Ferk, I don't play MC and thus am not familiar with that WorldPainter. What does it do? If nobody ever says what is desired, the chances of a mod for that evolving spontaneously might be small. Even if it's implemented eventually (same general world structure, so similar ideas pop up), you might never hear about it as the modder might choose a diffrent name for it.

You open up the program and you use tools to spawn make trees, rivers Montains, ETC.You basicly make a painting that is loaded into a world, just watch him the first 3 episodesepisodes of Smithy MCs jurassic world series it will explain everything (that's how I found it)

Assuming that Christian9's explanation is just not enough, I will point out some info that could be helpful

WorldPainter wrote:WorldPainter is an interactive map generator for Minecraft. It allows you to "paint" landscapes using similar tools as a regular paint program. Sculpt and mould the terrain, paint materials, trees, snow and ice, etc. onto it, and much more.

ps: haven't heard about this software before, but I don't think WorldEdit will do as a replacement

i have been working on a mod called realterrain that comes close to worldpainter

One thing you could try is to create a Minecraft world in WorldPainter and convert the resulting world to a Minetest world using mcimport:

It's also worth noting that WorldPainter is open-source. So, in principle, a sufficiently adventurous programmer could fork the project and make it work with the Minetest world format. But it is highly unlikely to happen in the near future, so don't get your hopes up unless you are said programmer.
