Programs to install
At first, download the latest version of these programs and install them with all features.
Java Runtime Environment (64 Bit)
https://www.java.com/de/download/manual.jsp
Most of you will already have this installed, because you need Java for a lot of programs, like Minecraft itself. Be sure to use the version 8 and not something newer, like 11, because the Javascript Engine in WorldPainter still requires Java 8.
QGIS 3.16.4 ltr (or newer): (with gdal)
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html
use the 64-bit standalone installer
ImageMagick: (with Q16 support)

Set up WorldPainter
Minecraft Worldpainter Download
Before starting to generate some Tiles, you need to set up some settings inside WorldPainter. Open the program and then go to “Edit” in the menu and select “Preferences”. Go to the “Defaults” tab and click the blue link “Configure default border, terrain and layer settings”. A new window appears with the title “Edit Dimension Properties”. Go to the “Caves, Caverns and Chasms” tab and deactivate: “Caves everywhere”, “Caverns everywhere” and “Chasms everywhere” Also make sure to uncheck the checkboxes “… breaks the surface”. After this, go to the “Resources” tab and deactivate “Resources everywhere”. Press “Ok” to save and leave the settings. Now you can create Tiles with the correct export settings. (Unfortunately it is not possible to make these settings in the script, so you have to do it by yourself).

After installing everything, start the “MinecraftEarthTiles_TileSelector.exe” (or “MinecraftEarthTiles_TileSelector_Demo.exe”).
