Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the brush sphere bundle in WorldEdit to create custom terrain shapes and add detail to our Minecraft builds. WorldEdit is a powerful in-game editing tool that allows players to make large-scale modifications to their Minecraft worlds. The brush sphere bundle is a collection of brushes that can be used to create spherical shapes and modify the terrain.

Getting started with WorldEdit

Before we can use the brush sphere bundle, we need to install and set up WorldEdit on our Minecraft server or single-player world. WorldEdit can be downloaded from the official Bukkit website or other trusted sources. Once installed, we can access WorldEdit commands using the in-game chat.

Choosing the right tool

The first step in using the brush sphere bundle is selecting the appropriate tool to bind our command to. In this tutorial, we will use a diamond axe, but any tool can be used except for the wooden axe, which is already used for position setting in WorldEdit.

Using the brush sphere bundle

To start using the brush sphere bundle, we need to input the command "br sphere" followed by the required parameters. The first parameter is the pattern we want to use, which in this case is "quartz" for its hard edge and detailed visibility during smoothing. The second parameter is the radius of the sphere, with a recommended size of 4 for terraforming purposes.

Picking the appropriate parameters

Selecting the right pattern and size for our brush sphere is crucial to achieving the desired effect. While quartz works well for terraforming, other patterns can be used for different purposes such as creating mountains or cave systems. Experimentation with different patterns and sizes can lead to unique and captivating landscapes.

Creating the desired shape

With the brush sphere command bound to our tool, we can start shaping the terrain. By right-clicking around the desired area, we can gradually create the desired shape. It is important to focus on getting the shape right first before considering the height and details.

Smoothing the terrain

After we have achieved the desired shape, we need to smooth out the terrain to remove any rough edges. This process involves using the quartz block to gradually smoothen the terrain by placing and replacing blocks until the desired smoothness is achieved. This step requires patience and attention to detail as it can be time-consuming.

Digging out and smoothing the floor

To add more depth and detail to our terrain, we can dig out the floor where necessary. Using the brush sphere tool with the pattern set to "air" and a size of 4, we can remove blocks from the floor to create water or other features. After digging, the floor can be smoothed out using the same technique as before.

Adding color and texture

To make our terrain more visually appealing, we can add color and texture to it. Using the mask tool, we can limit the changes to only the desired block types. By selecting the appropriate blocks and using the brush sphere tool, we can add different colors and textures to the terrain, creating a more realistic and vibrant appearance.

Final touches and finishing up

Once we have painted the terrain with different colors and textures, we can make the final touches to our build. This includes smoothing out any rough edges, overhanging grass, and adding extra details to enhance the overall appearance. Taking the time to refine and perfect the terrain will make a significant difference in the final result.

Conclusion

Using the brush sphere bundle in WorldEdit opens up endless possibilities for customizing and enhancing your Minecraft builds. From creating unique terrain shapes to adding color and texture, this tool allows players to unleash their creativity and bring their ideas to life. With practice and experimentation, you can create stunning landscapes that will impress others and elevate your building skills. So go ahead, dive into WorldEdit, and start transforming your Minecraft world into something truly extraordinary.
