The WorldPainter app will look quite similar to a regular 3D paint application on Windows. However, all the edits and tweaks will be done in an actual Minecraft world. First, create a new world and select the latest version it can support. This will ensure that the exported world will work properly with the 1.19 version.

You can choose the type of tool, brush, and blocks that you want to interact with to get started. The best way to play around with this application is by selecting the 'Height' tool and clicking on the terrain to create crests and troughs.

Once done, open the 'View' tab and select 'Show 3D view' to open another window showing how a 3D image of what is being created.

Once you've created some terrain, export the world by going into the 'File' tab. The app will automatically save the world in the correct game folder. Simply open the game, select a new world and immerse yourself in your own custom generated world.
