Biome composition
Shares are measured across the built map, and "not found" means not in the built map. Past its edge the world keeps generating normal vanilla Minecraft chunks, so those biomes can still be found out there.

Loot tables

WorldPainter source files for Creative Builder World 8
Creative Builder World 8 is published twice: the finished world you drop into your saves folder, and the project source files it was built from. Depending on the world that means the WorldPainter project, with the terrain, the biomes and the structures still on separate layers, or the black and white height and colour maps behind it, or both.
- Switch the structure layers off and export a clean terrain-only version.
- Re-export at a different Minecraft version instead of waiting for an updated build.
- Reshape the terrain, move a biome or fix something yourself, on the original layers.
- Use the terrain as the base for your own map, on your own server or project.
Opening them needs WorldPainter, which is free. See the FAQ for the terrain-only case in full.
These files are for you, not for passing on
The project source files are licensed to you personally, and they are the one part of a world that is not under Creative Commons. Everything above is yours to do. What is not:
- Share, pass on or publish the project source files
- Sell the source files, or sell a world exported from them
This one is a creative world, built to be built on. A world you export and then build on is yours to share, on the same terms as the world download itself: credit McMeddon, do not sell it, and the server and media exceptions apply. Share what you built, not the terrain on its own.

Questions about Creative Builder World 8
- What is Creative Builder World 8?
-
Creative Builder World 8 is a hand-made creative world of 8,192 × 8,192 blocks, made with WorldPainter, World Machine, Gaea, Axiom and WorldEdit, built for Minecraft Java 1.20. You download the world folder and play it like any other save, in singleplayer or on your own server.
- How big is Creative Builder World 8?
-
8,192 × 8,192 blocks, so about 67 million blocks of surface. Walking from one edge to the other takes roughly 32 minutes at normal walking speed. The terrain runs from Y -64 to Y 320.
Outside that area the world keeps generating normal vanilla Minecraft chunks, so you never hit a wall, you just leave the built part behind.
- Which Minecraft version does Creative Builder World 8 need?
-
Creative Builder World 8 is made for Minecraft Java 1.20 and opens in 1.18 and later. Between the two, anything added after the release you load it in is removed or replaced (new biomes load as plains), so 1.20 or newer shows the world as built. Releases older than 1.18 cannot open it.
Bedrock players need a converted copy. See the Bedrock notes in the FAQ.
- Which biomes are in Creative Builder World 8?
-
8 in total. The land is mostly Plains (51.2%), Jagged Peaks (22.2%), Snowy Slopes (15.7%) and Frozen Peaks (5.6%), counted as shares of the land rather than of the whole map.
Water covers 40.4% of the map, and land 59.6%.
The full breakdown is further up this page, with every biome and its share.
- Which structures are in Creative Builder World 8?
-
0 of the 20 structure types the scan checks are confirmed present: surface (0/8), underground (0/6), ocean (0/4), portal structures (0/1) and settlements (0/1).
Not confirmed: Abandoned camps (missing), Desert pyramids (missing), Igloos (missing), Jungle pyramids (missing), Pillager outposts (not checked) and Swamp huts (missing). "Missing" means the scan looked and it is not in the built map; "loot only" means its chests are here but the structure is not; "possible" means only indirect evidence was found.
The structure list above names every one of them.
- Is Creative Builder World 8 ready to play in survival?
-
No, and that is what it is for. A scan of the world file finds no structures, loot tables, ores or animals, so there is nothing here to survive on as it stands: this is a world to look at and to build in, in creative mode or as the base for your own project.
It still loads in vanilla Minecraft with no mods and no datapacks, and the terrain is the whole point of it.
The world contents report at the bottom of this page holds the item-by-item detail.
- Where do I download Creative Builder World 8?
-
From the download link on Patreon, also on the button at the top of this page.
Also available: the source files on Patreon, which carries the release notes and the known issues for this particular build.
- Can I look at Creative Builder World 8 before downloading it?
-
Yes. Open it in the 3D explorer and fly the real terrain in your browser, with the biomes, the caves and the marked structures. Nothing to install.
How do I install Creative Builder World 8 on Java Edition?
- Unpack the archive you downloaded from Patreon.
- Open your saves folder. On Windows press
Win+Rand enter%appdata%\.minecraft\saves. On macOS it is~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves, on Linux~/.minecraft/saves. - Move the unpacked folder in. It must be the folder that contains
level.dat, not a folder wrapping it. - Restart Minecraft on 1.20 or newer and pick the world in singleplayer.
Can I play it on Bedrock, or on a server?
Bedrock needs a converted .mcworld copy, and converted worlds carry their own
quirks around spawn, chests and villagers.
For a server, drop the world folder in as the server's world and start it.
