Hey there, welcome to the MINECON 2018-
making a map with MCEdit panel.
We'd like to introduce ourselves before we start.
I'm James- I'm also known as gentlegiantJGC online.
I make a number of filters and have done it over a number of years-
and I've also worked on a number different-
projects that have been on the Minecraft Marketplace.
I'm Jeff, I go as TrazLander.
It is my handle on Twitter. I've worked on MCEdit-
I've done QA which is Quality Assurance-
bug testing and I also do my own map making.
I'm Ben Gotthard. I'm also known as Podshot online.
I am one of the developers of MCEdit-Unified.
I'm Naor also known as naor2013-
and I'm the other developer of MCEdit-Unified.
I'm Adrian, I run a map making magazine-
that is free to contribute, free to consume, called-
Map Making Mag.
And with that, I try and help people who are new to the map making scene get up to speed.
And give a forum for people who make maps-
to share their knowledge and skills and help the community grow.
So, we'd like to kick off today's session-
with a little bit of a look at-
at what MCEdit can do.
And we can roll the video.
So, MCEdit is a separate program to the game itself.
It's run separately to the game, not at the same time.
It allows you to import-
worlds into the program, it allows you to edit them to however you like.
You can select big selections-
you can copy it from one world to another.
It allows you to fix issues that you may have.
If you've corrupted a world-
you can copy stuff across.
You can use the fill tool to select big sections of the world.
Whichever block you like.
You can clone if you want a repeating pattern-
but you don't want to replace the box manually. You can use the clone tool.
You can also use it to scale up selections, which we'll use later on in this panel.
You can delete whole sections.
You can use a brush tool-
would you like to talk about the brush tool?
So the brush tool is a special kind of tool it
it actually allows you to import your custom code-
into the program and use it as a brush.
So, if you have a certain design that you want to be able to repeat over and over again-
you can make that into a brush and then just use that across all of your builds and maps.
There are a number of stock brushes that come with the program-
such as just non-standard fill which allows you to select either-
a sphere or whichever type of brush you select-
or varied replace or a road and there's a number of them that are on there if you go to play with it.
So, I like to think of MCEdit as an amazing-
notepad that can be used to do all sorts of-
things to your Minecraft worlds. It's very, very powerful.
So, Naor and Podshot and Traz-
you've guys have done a great job. Shall we-
take a look at the history of MCEdit and how we got to the point where-
where MCEdit unified can be used in this really powerful way?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, MCEdit is a ten year old program.
A guy by the name of Codewarrior started it.
He just needed a way to edit maps.
And, made a tool for people to do it.
He-
kind of kept working on it for about five years and it was mostly just him.
He open sourced it at some point and-
gradually, you know, kind of burnt out a little bit.
And his, you know, less-
worked on it a lot less.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Codewarrior for all of the work he did in opening up this tool-
and making available to everyone. It's amazing!
and making available to everyone. It's amazing! He laid the groundwork and we-
He laid the groundwork and we-
we kind of took it over with the help of Trazlander.
He kind of recruited most of us to the team.
A guy by the name of Karthik started like-
it was-
falling apart, there's a lot of issues and bugs-
and he- a new version of Minecraft came out as well-
at the time. So, few blocks didn't show it correctly-
or didn't work-
Yeah, blocks weren't showing right
because new and new, more and more
blocks were being added and so the guy
by the name of Karthiks duplicated it
and created his own thing on Github to open source
and he started working on it doing fixing a lot of the blocks that
were not showing that's mostly what he
was working on was just getting a lot of
the blocks not showing and so I came on there
and I found out he was doing this
and I started listing bugs, bugs, lots of bugs and I
gave it a nice Google Doc
So you were the nuisance guy saying "this doesn't work, this doesn't work"
This is what's wrong, you need to fix this
And you find some really weird bug
Like if you click that and, and then you push that, and then you do that
But I have no idea how to even discover those bugs
Yeah I I'm the master bug finder, I really am
I just started listing among a nice little organized list
and he was doing what he could but it was just
Karthiks by himself so i put out a call
to the subreddit and the Minecraft forum and Twitter, wherever I could find
and put out a call to anybody want to help
I have a bug list and you check it out
and we got this guy and that guy and these two came
along with a couple others and started
knocking off the list, him especially - he just
deleted every bug
the most obscure things that I could
and it was just destroying it
I actually raced you at some point seeing how many
more I could check off than him. But he beat me
he was unstoppable
so you guys were cleaning up the codebase and bringing up
to speed with the newest Minecraft
versions that were being released and
and getting it back to a usable state so
that map makers could keep realizing their vision and keep creating fun experiences in the game
and once we got it back up to speed from that point onward
we just started listening to community feedback, we asked a whole bunch of mapmakers
"what do you want to see in this program?"
and we got a lot of requests for various features.
I know you two especially were like - "hey guys, can you try to add this?"
So we ended up adding waypoints at some point
where you can just pre-save locations in your world
that you can jump to so you don't have to fly around it and look for it, looking around all the time
for that one spot.
Productivity improvements, things to make it faster to
work with with the tool
Yeah, we also added resource pack support so if you
had a 16-bit texture resource pack
you can import that in MCEdit and use it
for the most part, if they didn't do things just right some blocks would be missing
but we added that. It's fair to say that the map makers
are a reasonably patient lot. To come with you on this journey
but the project that you kicked off
has a different name. It's not just MCEdit, is it?
It's called MCEdit unified because originally the
MCedit codebase was written to two different places
It was the main MCEdit code, that that's the actual program that you saw
and then there was a portion of the program called PI-MC level which was
Vicious Pi.
not that kind of Pi, Python the programming language and it was the
library MCEdit used to interact with the world savefile and we ran into some problems early on with that
and trying to keep everything up to date with itself
so we came up with that name - MCEdit unified when we took both source code bases and kind of merged them together
and then we were just like "we unified MCEdit" and since then, the name kind of stuck and we ran with it
So this session that we're on is really about
MCEdit unified. There are other MCEdit flavours out there though
And it's probably worth going into a little bit of detail about what they are so that you can understand what tool to use
when we're talking about today's session
So we're gonna be using MCEdit unified in this session
We'll be using our most recent testing release
we'll have a new release coming out soon
there's also MCEdit 2 . Which is by the original creator Codewarrior he has open sourced it as well
But it's mostly in the beta testing phase so while you can use it for some aspects of world editing
you might run into some issues until he kind of gets them sorted out
We're gonna be going with MCEdit unified for now
but make sure to keep up to date on his version just in case he has plans with it really soon
another thing we need to mention, just not the two version
there's a lot of a contributors that help us a lot
for example with the translations and we get a lot of feedback
People actually edit their own translations we have translations to Chinese and maybe a few more, French?
I think Spanish as well.
that was done by an amazing contributor called Lachal, he joined us
early on. I think just after you and I joined the project
he also helped add bedrock support which is gonna be
coming in our 1.6 release which we hope
to get out sometime in the next few weeks or in a month he added translations
translations. We also had a few other. ...
wait wait wait
That sounds like breaking news?
So version 1.6 is going to be available in the next month?
Yes we're finishing up the testing on that right now
it will come with Bedrock support for the most recent versions of Bedrock
there'll also be just general bug fixes as well a few
performance improvements. Guys that's awesome well done thank you that is
gonna make many people very happy. Hope so.
so let's talk a little bit about the way that the Minecraft worlds are put together
because mcedit is is tool but it works against something
which is the Minecraft level definition so a lot of players are
very familiar with the way that blocks are placed and destroyed and picked and
used to build models. Blocks are a very simple construct within the
Minecraft world and MCEdit is absolutely fantastic at building things with blocks
the other more complex objects are blocks that have additional things in them
so these are thing like chests
and furnaces. But also things like spawners that have more information about how
they operate in the world and the way that Mojang has created these
blocks with extra information is by using a little bit of a language called NBT
which is a bit too technical for me to describe what that means does
anyone know what NBT stands for?
it stands for Namd Binary Tags.
Wow it must be a very powerful thing to be named Named Binary Tags
we're just going to call em NBT
blocks with NBT are block entities and when you destroy a chest and things go
flying it's because there's all this information that's in the chest that
gets used to create items and the last class of things that really matter to
people who are building maps with MCEdit are entities these are those
hissing creepers that you need to avoid as they come charging down to destroy
your builds and your houses so they're also the cows and sheep and
dolphins anything that sort of moves around that isn't fixed in place is an
entity. But of course Minecraft is very complex there's a lot of other stuff
that is underneath the hood that you need to work with and MCEdit is a tool for
doing that as well so with MCEdit you can change the biomes that you're
walking around in on a map and with that you can use it to craft different colors
for blocks you can also use it with the Bedrock version to add water to things
like fences and stairs so there's some new features that mcedit through the
work of these guys has kept up with and added to the tool now this image
on-screen is actually the Minecon Earth 2018 updated map which I understand may
be free through the Bedrock marketplace in the coming week as part of the
MINECON event so thanks to Jigeval for preparing the picture and also doing all
the hard work to update that that map but the key message here is there's a
lot of things that you can touch and adjust and customize with the MCEdit tool
and the best maps are those maps that use those features in new and
exciting ways and that's where MCEdit really comes in to play this is the
Minecraft Marketplace this is a view of some of the projects that people have
put together and made available for you to download and most of the projects
that you'll find on the marketplace have been built with the help and assistance
of MCEdit so the team here is actually powering a lot of the creation and
content that you're using in in your gaming but of course there's a challenge
in getting from having a tool to using it in a really effective way so maybe
James if you can take us through how you do that? So to start with you get an
idea the whole map will revolve around you can kind of go into a night project
without a set idea but it could be a little wandering if it won't be
a set thing. You can change your mind and you can change your mind halfway through
but it might deviate slightly. Good to have a vision. So we went through we
just chatted for a bit we threw different ideas around I think you
wanted to do a CTM. Yeah, I heard mazes
map was on the table for a bit as well but what we wanted for this map was
something that was kind of gonna be visual because we felt it was gonna be
the best thing to kind of display what MCedit can do in a visual way because a
lot of the other things might be technical but might not just their
display particularly well on a panel like this so when you talk about this
map what's the new and exciting giveaway that we've got as part of the MINECON panel
so we have made a map we've put together that will be available there'll be links
in the description to the different maps it's going to be available in Java and
bedrock Edition so you can open up wherever you like it's free you can go
download it now but I'd suggest waiting 'til after the panel we're not gonna...
we're going to try and avoid spoiling the levels as much as we can but we're
going to show how we go through them and explain how we made them so this panel
will take you through using MCEdit to create a real map and then you'll have
the opportunity to download that map and play it as part of as part of your
Minecraft experience okay so let's take a look at level 1 of that map so if we
can roll the video this one was suggested by Adrian is the selection of
suggested by Adrian is the selection of islands that you have to fall through
and we'll explain what a drop of map is in a sec on the next level but in this
one I generated a vanilla world and then copy and pasted sections of the world up
into the air and then use the erode brush tool to remove material from it to
make it look like an island, floating island to make it how I wanted it to as you can see
in the video. I then copied and pasted the islands that I've made. A made a number of them from this world into the world I was making the actual
drop a map in as we'll see in a sec and then pasted them in the area that I
then pasted them in the area that I wanted them so that you could fall
through them but it was sort of difficult to do so I then used a filter
difficult to do so I then used a filter an MCEdit filter by Adrian to make
broke bridges that you can pass from two different points that you specify so
I'll probably jump in and just explain filters are small programs that we build
in the MCEdit framework that help you accelerate jobs and make it really easy
and quick to sketch out the scenes like this and create create bridges an
example and filters can do things other than blocks they can do NBT data of
entities and chests as well as just like your biomes as well so they're
kind of like the multi-purpose like if you if you need to automate something
you if you need to automate something you can do it with a filter so let's
take a look at what a filter can do in the next level, level 2 of the
map which is another filter written by Adrian you like can explain why the
filter was made it's a little look at the video really look at the video yeah
which is just select a selection box in the world and then set the box blocks as
the world and then set the blocks as you like and then run the filter and it
will generate a fully made dropper map so I should explain what a dropper map
is a map which was first made by Big Ray made a couple of dropper maps called
creatively dropper one and dropper two and they became very, very famous and
yeah what it is is you as a player stand at the top step off and as you fall you
try and dodge the objects before you already get very badly hurt
you already get things very badly hurt less and then fall into the water or the
ladders or the vines or whatever at the bottom of the level and try not to die so
let's take a look at level three this is if we can run the video this was
a tree that I grabbed from the same vanilla world and I used the clone tool
and the scaling tool in the clone tool and to scale up to a significantly
bigger than the thing is so then you've start at the top and then sort of have
to work out a way to get down without dying yeah no spoilers you
have to enjoy it when you download the map and have a play let's take a look
map and have a play let's take a look once we go through this at the next
level, level four yes and uses another filter for creating video another filter
Adrian which takes a little selection box and it's called the Fractal filter
box and it's called the Fractal filter you can explain what a Fractal is in a
second but it essentially takes their fill the selection box and repeats it a
number of times in a Fractalnature would you like to try and explain what
Fractal is yeah so the fun thing about fractals is they look really
complex but because they are so similar
they're patterns that just repeat themselves over and over again at
different scales they're really easy and interesting to make and this is just a
programmatic filter in MCEdit that you can use to build your maps so I selected
created the region off of this filter and then selected a smaller section that I
felt was the right size for the dropper map and then use the clone tool to copy it
rotate it upside down and then rotate it round so that
I created a 3D level where you could fall throu gh that was sort of
symmetrical and look nice and the fun thing about this one is as you play the
game and look around you'll get lots of different views of this enormous fractal
and yeah it's quite scenic because it's a fractal it sort of looks similar
there's always the same repeating section that you'll always see just
at different scales yeah isn't math wonderful let's take a look at level 5
because it's very different yes if we can play the video which is a very short
video showing the level we don't have a video explaining it because I felt the
filter itself which is another filter written by Adrian was too complex to
summarize in a short video it takes a section of the world and sort of wraps
it into a tube and then I've rotated it around so it's a tube of jungle that you
can fall through from the top to the bottom and you got
to try and work out how to get down it yeah one of the one of the cool things
that map makers do is make curves in Minecraft which is which is good fun
so the next level is very different so you're sort of going
off on a big tangent when you have get there again another one of your filters
and Adrian does a lot of graphically intensive filters as opposed to I
produce filters that are more technically based and others do as well
so I felt I was going through the filters and looking for the pretty ones
and most of them were written by Adrian so his surface filter
lots of maths functions. I played around with it and pick some felt
were the best-looking ones which these ones and then copied and pasted them
into sort of an area that I wanted to make them difficult to fall through but
interesting and possible are then edited in color using the fill tool or with the
base option so you're basically saying don't give up when this one kills you
again and again and again there is a way through it and you can defeat this level
it's just a little difficult so let's take a look at level seven if we can
play the video again I think this one was suggested by Adrian again I'm using
another one of his filters this is the filter panel it is essentially filtering
there is also another one by settling this one I generated a bunch of clouds
that looked good and then copy and pasted them
this is a test world so I didn't screw up the real world I'd
advise doing that really yeah I copied and pasted them into a full of tube
areas and again to make it so that you could fall for a bit was sort of
difficult and then used a filter by Sethbling which is an old one that's
still a brilliant filter called crater solid which takes as a like selection of
blocks and sort of rotates around into a center just make the and I using my
fantasy cloud dropping land thing. So level eight has no filters this one
has one filter but not one of your ones let's take a look at the same video if
we can play the video this one year I tried to use as few filters as possible
I kind of use the fill tool to create a box and then add windows and then
inside to the building I then used the clone tool to repeat the same level over
and over so it's the same level but you're falling through the level you're
not really going to get to see it all that much so it's fine it's repeating I
then created the tower and I created another variation using the variable
fill brush tool to replace the brick with stone and mossy cobblestone and
that way you get different buildings distantly the same
I then used copied those and pasted those into the big plane you just saw
and to kind of create a city that you've again you could fall through a bit sort
of difficult did I'd say flipped it on it's side. I then used a filter written again
another one by Sethbling to create the hedge maze at the top to sort of add a
bit of detail to it. Yeah and I think everyone's gonna love that level it's a
little bit tricky I think you had difficulty with that one. Let's
have a look at level 9 yeah this one again I didn't use any filters on this
one I wanted to kind of show off what MCEdit can do without filters but
brilliant as filters are I wanted to try and avoid using them where possible so
yeah I filled either brush tool to create circles and cylinders and the
hole at the bottom and then use a flood fill tool not flood fill the air filter
with the replace option to fill the lava in the
bottom and then use the brush tool to sort of add in details that wasn't just a
single tube and then added the variable replace tool variable replace brush tool
to add in sort of some obsidian so if you had to do all this by hand this
would have taken your very life sort of taking you a very long time whereas I
was able to achieve this in a week or two. So level ten is a little bit
different what we're doing is we're opening it up to you the map makers out there
and of course the players who want
to be map makers to contribute a level to us and we'll share the details of how
to do that simply use any tool in Bedrock or Java to create a dropper
level make it as vanilla as possible and submit it to us through the
Map Making Mag Twitter account. What we'll do after November 30 which is the date that
we've said for submissions we'll put it all together and we'll release the map
hopefully before the end of 2018 and we'll make it available for free on both
the Java and Bedrock so give some thought to participating in that it
should be a lot of fun. We kind of want to introduce the audience back and
trying to show off what they can do and sort of bring the audience and try and
convince them to start making maps. yeah it's not that difficult once you
start going so we thought it's best to cover a frequently asked question so
it's a panel. that's a participatory thing so we we got a lot of frequently
asked questions maybe Potshot you can take us through
all of our frequently asked questions was the same question which is when is 1.13 support
coming to MCEdit. So the the quick answer is never because it's just a quick too
complex it's - they change too much it's really hard to incorporate to make it part
of MCEdit so we thought why not we should just reiterate everything and make
a new program that will replace MCEdit for one person
not only for one person but for every version. And so yeah we would like to
introduce this new editor - the Amulet map editor it's completely written from
the ground up as he now said it will first we are focusing on
1.13 support straight out of the gate it will be a brand new
editor like we said it will be almost completely customizable in every aspect
of the editor we're not just going for filters and brushes like we mentioned in
this panel we're gonna hopefully be you'll be able to edit any kind of
terrain or feature that comes in Minecraft you'll be able to edit with
this editor so you're really breaking the the bounds that have held us back
yes we we have definitely learned from MCEdit it's been a great program we just
feel this is the next best step this is the step where we can step off and kind
of do something different try new things see how they work so one of the
things you can do today is connect with the site and of course follow the team
on Twitter if you want to join our team we could use help any help it's all open
source anybody wants to come contribute we'll try to get some bug lists out
there and you know you can come if you know Python just come knock out some bugs
If you don't know - python you can sort this together. These two barely knew
Python when they started my how I learned Python from just from you making
filters yeah great learning experience get involved all three of us we kind of
just started on filters and now we're the main developers okay so I think
we did pretty well for ourselves yeah so watch out you might end up
being the main developer of this tool so that's one of the things you can do next
the other things keep in mind we've got the free dropper map that you can pull
down, play so that's available links would be in the description of the video
you can use MCEdit to make your own dropper levels and then contribute them
back we'll bring them all together and make them available back into the
community you can also contact us for help and guidance in using the tool and
in the process of using the tool check and follow amulet and keep a look out on
the amulet editor twitter for links to pull the maps and and participate in the
project so we want to thank you for sticking with us as we brought
you through the wonderful world of MCEdit mapmaking until next time
thanks very much and good bye. See you on the Internet!
Bye!
