# GenPainterPE
Pocketmine Generator for Earth and heightmap based generation.

## What is GenPainterPE?
GenPainterPE is a PocketMine plugin which allows you to generate minecraft maps just with an heightmap.

## How to use GenPainterPE?
First, look at [the installation part](#installation).     
Creating a world would take the default config.yml settings, and then apply them to map creation (note: changing theses settings afterwards won't change them for the map. You should regenerate one another to change settings).    
To create a world, you can:    
- use a world utility which include a world generation 
(such as [BetterGen](https://download.ad5001.eu/en/plugins) or ManyWorld) with the generator "genpainter" or,
- go to your pocketmine.yml, and at the end of the file, add a new world with the generator "genpainter".

## Customizing GenPainterPE
You can customize GenPainterPE's generation by modifing some values in the config.yml.    
<a id="add-heightmap"></a>    
You can also <b>add your own heightmap</b>. [What is an heightmap?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightmap)    
How to do that? 
1. Get your heightmap in a png form (.png)
2. Put it into the GenPainterPE/heightmaps folder
3. Change the "heightmap_name" in the config.yml to the name of your heightmap (WITHOUT THE .png AT THE END)
4. Create a new world with the genpainter generator     

(note: you can modify your config afterwards and remove the .png as the world heightmap and data has been saved to your generated map)
