"Project Elentyl" A Minecraft Map
I'm using a program called World Painter to make my own map in Minecraft. While this is different than most types of cartography it's still a form nonetheless I believe. My ultimate goal here is to finish the map then go into the map via Minecraft with a modpack and make a RPG quest driven game with the various mods available for Minecraft. I will be using Minecraft version 1.7.10 And will be using a modifed version of the HEXXIT Modpack. Understand that this is a HUGE undertaking. Even without a questline of sorts or a story. While it is possible to crank out these maps the truly detailed ones take a while to refine. If anyone here plays Minecraft I hope you enjoy this and for those that do not play it maybe it will inspire you to get it if only to make your own maps this way and/or to bring maps you've already made to life in Minecraft!
I'll try updating this thread every 2 days as I will the sister thread over on MCForums.
I Finally came up with a name with the help of a Sindarin Dictionary.
Elentyl. Derived from elen and tyll which translates to star and islands. If anyone here is as big of a J. R. R. Tolkien as I am, I hope you squeal at the name and how it rolls of the tongue as I did. All criticism is greatly appreciated. Both the good and bad on my map. All input helps.
UPDATE 1 5/12/2017
I'm sure most of you to see this will have seen some of the early bits and bobbles of it that I have posted over the past few days. Well, here's some screenshots I took today.
A plateau that will be home to a dense jungle.
Program glitched and did this Z-Fighting. Gonna keep it and make it into an Enchanted Forest via the Twilight Forest Mod and place a village on the larger landmass. Not quite sure what to call it yet. Open to suggestions!!!
Not quite sure what I'm doing with this yet but as I want to ultimately toss in some kind of backstory/questline I need something that be said to be created by {insert generic reason/being here}(What'd you expect possible spoilers? HA!) I may over time make it into a valley and add pockets of lava instead of a lava sea as it is now.
And finally I managed to get this super cool Glacial Valley formation between some mountains.
