You could try MinetestMapper to generate a picture like this one :
+ Worldmap example

Is that what you mean ?
Very busy this year too, so do not expect me to be very active on the forum or in game. But I'm not about to drop Minetest forever :)

I saw this but didn't answer as I didn't really know how you'd do it. You'd have to modify minetestmapper somehow.

this is a cartographic map:

I guess you could start with a brown background, and then shade depending on node and height.

You could use minetest mapper by rogier and change the color.txt file to the colors you want.

Rogier's mapper's heightmap option might be a good starting point. You'd need to customize heightmap-colors.txt and maybe heightmap-nodes.txt to obtain the desired effect.

Note that Rogier's version is at: https://github.com/Rogier-5/minetest-mapper-cpp.
My mods & tools:
My fork of Minetestmapper - much improved - features, manual, Windows downloads
[MOD] Wrench (rotate:wrench) - improved screwdriver alternative - manual, download
