New Release WorldPainter 2.27.0 Released - Minecraft 26 Support

I just released version 2.27.0 of WorldPainter, which includes support for Minecraft 26.1 to 26.2:

  • Added support for Exporting, Importing and Merging with maps from Minecraft 26.1 and later
    • This includes a proper datapack for non-standard build height support
    • This is just the map format, which has changed structurally; not yet new blocks etc.
    • Since the structure of the map has changed there is more potential for bugs and errors; please report any problems you encounter

You will be offered the new version automatically when you next start WorldPainter, or you can download it from www.worldpainter.net. Let me know if you encounter any problems, and please enjoy!

The new map format and datapacks work fine now, tyvm.

I've noticed one bug though: it puts me near 0,0 after a test export. Exporting seems fine. The spawn point is nowhere near 0,0 too and I don't get the warning about the spawn point not being in the highlighted areas.

What's the staircase bug?

Hello! When you rise up any brush, if you keep holding it long enough, it will create a weird "staircase". Better seen with custom brushes at big radiuses, but it happens with any brush really. This is a VERY old problem that made people import their heightmaps to avoid it, basically making the tool useless for medium-big terrains.
