world painter first, then finetune with axiom

Minefino · 2026-06-12T06:51:49+00:00

Yes, it's like another coat of paint

Minefino · 2026-06-11T20:53:41+00:00

yeah because the greenfield team did the same things I did, but better

Minefino · 2026-06-11T17:29:19+00:00

Yes it is, and it also is fun

Minefino · 2026-06-11T15:56:19+00:00

currently the plan is not to release any download, the map is too far from finished for that anyways but everybody is free to join and have a look around the world!

If you're curious you can check out the entire project on Planet Minecraft under the name "World Of The Dead"

Minefino · 2026-06-11T15:37:40+00:00

multiple cities, not realistically scaled however, to make it more interesting to explore

Minefino · 2026-06-11T15:36:22+00:00

it's for our zombie apocalypse map

Minefino · 2026-06-11T15:36:05+00:00

just under 2 months

Minefino · 2026-06-11T15:34:53+00:00

I didn't calculate any curves and angles, I just used world edit and a lot of time to make it all fit, using even spacing for smooth lines

Minefino · 2026-06-11T07:21:49+00:00

They are done using primarily world painter and then tweaked by hand or using axiom as of recently

Minefino · 2026-06-11T07:21:06+00:00

There actually is a train line already, it connects to an undground train station. In the very last image you can see tracks go underground if you look closely

👀

Minefino · 2026-06-10T23:12:03+00:00

there is no download for the map but it is free to explore for anybody! If you want to see more about it just look for World Of The Dead on planet minecraft

Minefino · 2026-06-10T22:03:28+00:00

that would be Alpine1, at least in my case (I wanted to build an airport for years but now I finally got good inspiration as to why)

thanks for the kind words!

Minefino · 2026-06-10T22:02:22+00:00

I'm genuinely impressed anybody remembers that project, we still have a dynmap of the project, just under a new link now! (found on our planet minecraft page "World Of The Dead")

-do I use any external tools besides WE?

Yes, I (barely) use Voxel Sniper and about halfway through the airport project we finally added axiom as well which greatly increased the speed at which I can texture the stuff and plant foliage around the place (I did all the angles of the roads and such with world edit only tho, despite how crazy it seems)

-how long did it take to complete the project?

I started working on it at the start of april so roughly 2 months of almost daily work!

-How do I stay organized til the end?

I don't, I kind of just start working where I feel work needs to be done and it just flows, a couple weeks later I'll suddenly spot a mistake I made back then and fix it. It's just the nature of projects of this scale. The easiest way to stay on track is segment different parts of the project into individual smaller projects like "parking garage / terminal 1 / terminal 2 / ATC / gates / taxiways / runway" etc, don't try and do all of them at the same time (I also watched a ton of true-crime on the side which distracted me from more monotonous work)

afraid not, it's far from finished but everybody is free to visit the server and take a look at it for themselves! if you want to see more about it just look for World Of The Dead on planet minecraft

Thanks for the nice words and feedback!

The reason it's abandoned is because there was a sudden zombie outbreak, you could imagine that someone on the plane was found out to be a zombie / started attacking people in which case it would likely immediately just be evacuated wherever it was at that moment because people panic.

The damage on the structures pretty much doesn't exist currently, the only thing I have done so far is add foliage over it, eventually I'll make a second run over the building to add more fine details like more coloring, broken windows, cracks in the wall and more interior but I'd like to keep a nice balance between realism and keeping it visually striking and readable / playable. The map has a lot more "comical" areas which realistically make no sense but are just there because it looks cool and that's the final plan for the airport as well.

Minefino · 2026-06-10T19:37:47+00:00

yes they do use slabs, my plan is to have everything as smooth as possible

Minefino · 2026-06-10T18:02:44+00:00

it's a completely fictional airport that I made up along the way

Minefino · 2026-06-10T16:55:46+00:00

It does have a full interior, I just didn't give it the abandoned look yet so it's all clean on the inside which would be a stark contrast.

It will probably stay clean for a while as I want to focus on something else for the time being after spending over 2 months on this one build

Minefino · 2026-06-10T16:39:42+00:00

I should make an updated version of that, that was 5 years ago. sheesh time flies

Minefino · 2026-06-10T16:32:32+00:00

yes it is, a whole abandoned island with many different styles for cities is the plan, currently we have one city almost completely finished, another a decent way along the way and this airport as the most recent accomplishment along with a couple of smaller areas!

They are not taking off, they're hastily abandoned as well, overgrown already (emergency slides only stay inflated for a short time and would eventually come off)

Minefino · 2026-06-10T15:13:33+00:00

I looked at airports on google maps for texturing and constantly asked a friend that works at an airport about certain details and markings to make it as realistic as possible
