How to Color Terrain with Worldedit – Easy Commands!

Hello everybody have you got your wands ready it is time for a world of tutorial on painting terrain this is something you guys have asked for quite a lot and for those of you who are skeptics and don’t like world edit very much and you prefer

The go paints in the voxel don’t worry i know they exist i use them but not a lot of people have access to those a lot of people depend a lot on the fact that world that it is a mod so we’re gonna paint some terrain with

World edit and we’re going to have fun doing it so i’ve set up these squares here for us and we’re going to do four different techniques of painting terrain with world edit now one that i’m not going to go over that i will mention because i’ve

Mentioned it in other videos is this one you know the one where we can do this be our sphere 41 let’s do a size of five and then we mask one and then we can paint the train like that yeah that’s good that’s fun but what if

You have a massive piece of terrain are you going to do that or a piece of terrain that’s like 2 000 by 2 000 blocks you’re crazy let’s say something with this though i have this pattern right here just a flat wall that i painted with some crazy different things isn’t it

Just a masterpiece of what i’ve done with the books i’ve just chose kind of a simple gradient here with the granite and the jungle wood and the dirt and then threw in some greens ah just looks kind of trainy and i’m gonna copy this so i selected the whole thing and copied it

Now we’re gonna go over here to our mountain that i’ve created okay now now take this with a grain of salt because this is a painting tutorial and not a terrain tutorial so i didn’t do much with the actual terrain i’m a little lazy okay guys i just want

To get videos out and not spend three hours making a mountain while doing it alright so let’s do this so now that i have my mountain selected and i have my terrain copied to my clipboard i’m going to replace this mountain with this terrain i’m going to use the replace command to

Do that so i’m going to do slash replace and then one the one is the id of the stone if you’re using something else then you’d use that id then we go hashtag copy and look at us go our terrain has become the same color as our gorgeous painting

Right here now obviously this is a very very very customizable technique you could do anything you could put a pixel art of your face right here and paste it into a mountain and i don’t know how that would work but you could you could do it whatever you guys want to paint and

Shove onto a mountain it’ll work you can do it i promise uh maybe not your own face though that might not look as good anyways on to the next technique okay guys next up we’re going to be working with some angles on this terrain you see behind me i know angles you

Thought you were out of school right yeah no not the case they’re popping up in minecraft you need them so i’m going to select this terrain right here this beautiful gold terrain that i’ve created um now that i’ve got that selected i want to replace let’s say the top layers with

Some grass because that’ll look good i just want to do it all in one click well i could do that i’m going to replace an angle i’m going to replace the angle from 0 degrees to 55 degrees with grass which is not forwards too and here we go so pretty much

All of the top layers of our little terrain here are now grass everything from angle 0 degrees to 55 degrees has been affected now we’re going to do this to paint the rest of it so now let’s do let’s gmask this time instead of replace this works both ways

Whichever way you want to do it i’m going to show both so now we’re going to gmask 0 degrees to 65 degrees that i have that mask set we need to pick a block color so what block do we want to do you know what let’s do granite

Actually let’s do dirt because we just did replace 41 3. so what the g mass does is it masks everything that’s on that angle so it doesn’t let me affect anything that is not on those angles and this is the effect we get and now we

Can go a little larger let’s maybe gmask 0 degrees to 85 degrees and you can change both of these you don’t have to have a zero degrees there you could have 10 degrees to 85 degrees i didn’t test this one so i don’t know how it’s going

To work out we’re going to try it obviously this is a lot of trial and error commands for me i don’t always know it right away from my terrain what i’m going to want to use so yeah that got pretty much everything but i actually kind of like the look of that

That’s kind of nice i could touch this up a little bit but yeah that turned out nice so that was g masking angles and replacing angles and that is a really really easy way to do terrain okay guys one more thing i want to do with this terrain is talk to you guys

About the greater than and less than symbols yeah that’s right these guys you can make a little face with them i’m sorry i’m making you guys remember this i know not what you wanted today but it’s really easy actually so what we’re going to do is we selected our terrain i took

Off my gmask so now i’m going to replace everything above grass just to be grass 31 1 and maybe some air and you know what let’s do let’s do a flower look at that that’s so easy one command and we’ve got grass and flowers everywhere and it’s it’s not too bad because i’ve

Added an air and you can add in percents whatever you want to do to customize this you can do it look at this beautiful flowery meadow we’ve just created and the exact same works if you want to place things below grass so if i wanted to do everything below grass i

Would just switch it around and do the other angle which is this way and i’m not going to type that in right now because i don’t want my grass to go below my grass that’s not ideal i could do the same thing with dirt here so let’s say above all of these dart

Blocks on the end here maybe i want those to be maybe i want them to be leaves so we go above three and we go 18. whoa look at this now only the dirt blocks have a leaf block above them that gives a pretty cool effect it’s

Almost like my ledges are bordered with leaves i like that okay let’s move on to our next tool okay guys have you ever found yourselves in a situation where you need a pattern repeated over and over and over like a tile floor a sidewalk or a roadway something like that

Well i certainly have and so i use the pattern brush for it all i’m gonna do is select this little pattern right here which i already had selected and i’m gonna stand next to it and copy it now i’m gonna attach that to my brush so

I’m going to do slash br sphere and we’re going to use our hashtag copy again and then a radius i’m going to use a radius of 20 just because this is a fairly big area that i want to cover you could use a massive radius and just

Cover the whole thing at once if you wanted to do that but you know i don’t want to lag myself too much now i’m going to mask this to my flooring which is wool and i can click and wow look at this pattern perfect exactly what i wanted a tile floor perfectly repeated

This is very very useful for building structures with like flooring it’s even useful in terrain in some senses and a little bit flatter terrain when you want maybe some different creepy patterns along i don’t know there’s a lot of different situations where you could use this in both terrain and in structures and

Definitely in organics let’s do one with the glazed terracotta just for fun i’m gonna select it again copy b whoops br sphere hashtag copy and let’s do a bigger size this time and we’re going to mask it to 19 for our sponge right here wow look at that pattern that’s a little bit

Too much glazed terracotta for me but it looks fantastic and i’m sure it would look great in a build wow all right we’ve got one more method set up for you guys let’s do it all right guys so some of you have asked me about colors in terraforming a little bit

And color gradients in particular so i set up some examples here of different color gradients and these kind of all flow into each other if you really think about it like you could kind of go from the bone and skip over to this one right here and go into

That gradient you can go from this gradient to this gradient you can go from this gradient to this gradient right here and you can go from this one to that one or this one to this one and you could fade this one into the blues and you could go to green and ah

They all blend together and i recommend if you’re not good with colors just get a color wheel or google one online and that’ll really help you out a lot i feel getting different colors matching together the way you want them but the reason i’ve set up these

Gradients is that i am going to show you guys the gradient brush on this last bit of terrain here so the first thing we need is a sphere so br sphere and we’re going to do a lot of air in this sixty percent air zero and we’re gonna do 40

Ah no that’s not 40 57 and we’ll do a season nine and we’re gonna pop that right there that’s a little big for our terrain actually let’s let’s reduce that just a little bit it is the size that i would use on normal tray but because the train i’ve

Created is so tiny i don’t really want to use a massive gradient brush i’m going to go down to six there we go that should be perfect for what we need so now i’m going to line up a gradient in this and there’s lots of different ways you can do this you could

Do it on an angle you could do it darker to lighter lighter darker angle this way angle that way all kinds of different angles or you could just do like splotches of color throughout it whatever you want to do you set up your ball that way i’m going

To set up mine right now so to set up my ball i’m going to be using the cylinder command so what i’m doing is making a brush cylinder and then my block and then the radius is going to be six because that’s what i use and a height of one

And i’m going to use my lighter color on the top whoops i forgot the mask what a noob mask 57 and just do the two top layers with that perfect and i just keep doing that until i’m happy with my result i’m actually gonna do a bigger radius right here oh my goodness

I’ve been using voxel so much that i keep forgetting every time you need to make a brush you have to mask it again i’m a noob here we go so i’m just doing a straight down one obviously you can do whatever you want but i

Decided to go for a more basic one for the purposes of this demonstration i will eventually remember to mask okay guys so now that i’ve set up my gradient ball all i’m going to do is select it and copy it oh wait i missed the layer hang on vr cylinder 2 51 7

9 mask 7 i got this i got this oh yeah all done so you want to make sure there’s no diamond in that and there’s a little bit of down right there i’m going to actually replace that by hand yeah so now there’s for sure no diamond left in our sphere

So i get did i already select it no those one and post it doesn’t matter how much air you select here because we’re going to get rid of the air now we’re going to come up close to it and slash copy br clipboard negative a select gives us a brush of our clipboard

And it gets rid of air and now all we have to do is mask our terrain which is 41. i’m going to first show you on this wall what this actually looks like when we’re painting along you can kind of see the effect that it gives really really nice effect we can come

Across here and drag down for the darker colors come across here we drag up for the lighter colors ah it’s just such a nice brush and you can do so much with this so i’m going to show you on our terrain now what that looks like

So if we go right here we obviously want our lighter colors to be on the top side so we’re dragging up or that and underneath here we want to have our darker colors coming along here and back up with our lights just a gorgeous effect that that gives

And i could do that along here as well just to demonstrate what this brush can do obviously there are better gradients than you that you can do than the one that i chose it was kind of a weird pink one you choose some more brown ones or green ones more

Typical for what people would use in terrain i would say and you’ll probably get an effect that you like a little bit more i love these colors so i can go all along the top here and just all we’re doing right now is we’re just getting the top of that

Sphere right there we’re not getting any of the bottom and we drag up and we get a little bit more of the bottom and this is just amazing for being able to shade this so when we want some darker colors here we come up here and we just drag down

And we can drag back up and we’re dragging up we’re getting the lighter colors i adore the effect that gives obviously it doesn’t look great with all the gold blocks in it right now but when you’re properly doing terrain you won’t have to worry about any of that

But yeah that is it for this video i believe if you guys like this video please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing if you want to see more tutorials if you guys have any tutorials on world edit or voxel or just building a general that you want to see please

Let me know i’m always open to suggestions this video right here was actually a suggestion so i hope you guys enjoyed it and i will see you in the next one bye
