Help Creating a "Flat Earth" Minecraft Map

[lavish frigate]

Can anyone help me create the "flat earth" map (see picture) in Minecraft 1:500 scale? I want coordinates X: 0, Z: 0 to be the center of the north pole, and Antarctica to be around the edges of the world. Willing to pay whoever can help me implement this into my server. This would also be cool to have on the official Minecraft Earth Map website for future downloads as well. Thanks!

i dont think that will work since the software uses a specific maptype that squishes the equator and steatches the north and south pole you would need your own software for it i think

[lavish frigate]

Thanks for your input. @plucky halo

Is anyone else able to accomplish this or have any suggestions?

would be hard with my software... especially on a large scale like 1:500

you could still use some of it. for example, use the qgis project and change the projection inside the project

afterwards, you could export different layers as images and use them in worldpainter

I don’t have any experience or knowledge in this kind of stuff. How much would I have to pay you (or anyone else in here that’s interested) to help me create this? @brisk geyser

I would assume this would allow it possible to make countries actual size as they are in real life. I believe the map’s world would be best built as a circle for no distortion but could probably be built in a square/rectangular like normal with distortion. Center of North Pole at 0,0, and the South Pole at the edge as the end of the world. Having the center of the North Pole be x: 0, z: 0 would also make it really easy to navigate the world. @brisk geyser

We could start small scale and go bigger

I don't have the time or ressources to do any generation at the moment

but I think it would be a nice map...

Could you help with a smaller scale one than 1:500? @brisk geyser

[plucky halo]

i think he has his hands full with other stuff
there are other people that can do that

[lavish frigate]

Anyone who’s interested in helping

[plucky halo]

you dont need the developer for that there are people on this server that have a decent understanding of the software like vrilgqd

Is this true @wise moon? You have the magical developing powers I’m searching for?! 🤩

[wise moon]

unfortunately a rounder polar map is impossible to do with the current version of tiles

there are other services like EarthToMC that are more modern and allow for more projection styles, but as of now we're mostly limited to equirectangular

you could always download polar heightmap or terrain images and make your own custom qgis script but i'm not really knowledgeable on modifying that part

[lavish frigate]

Okay, thanks for your input! @wise moon

Would it be possible if built as a square/rectangle? @wise moon

[wise moon]

not with tiles no, but you could probably do that with general worldpainter

tiles always has equirectangular

[wise moon]

btw i'm still making those maps, i just got sidetracked with other things

going to release previews of all the 1:500 scales soon in #showcase

[lavish frigate]

Okay, thanks! @wise moon
