The mapping is stored in two flat text files:

terrain.txt: https://gist.github.com/4044110
columns: 1. texture, 2. block id, 3. unused, 4. biome id, 5. priority

materials.txt: https://gist.github.com/4044108
columns: 1. texture, 2. block id, 3. block texture, 4. unused, 5. priority

The "block texture" in the third column is an optional 8x8 texture encoded in base 64. If you're really ambitious, you can decode it with this bit of Java code: https://gist.github.com/4044166

Good luck. =p

Oh my God thank you so much! I can see why this took you so long, your dedication is amazing! Thanks for this awesome map and info I will start working on the texture pack this weekend!

And I must say, those are a lot of textures. I will probably just take the first texture for each block. I don't think it should take too long with Ctrl+F

I haven't had that exact problem, but I know that 1.3.2 lighting would sometimes act strangely when in large forested areas.

Not to sound demanding but could you plz try one with Bioshock as I think that would be cool if it is possible and compatible with the software

Also amazing map

I believe there are a few Bioshock themed maps already, e.g.


Unfortunately, there's no easy way to use my software on other games, since every game has a unique file format. It would require writing a new converter, or at least half of one.

@Rumsey Awesome work! This would have been difficult I can tell as a programmer in training. I was wondering why the insides of the smaller buildings are such a mess and if there is any plans to do any touch ups by hand/mouse? This would go amazingly with minecraft 1.4 with the new stair block mechanics.

I hate to keep pestering you Rumsey, but do you recommend any method of finding the textures? Like a program that shows a list of all of the textures?

I used Ladik's MPQ Editor to extract blp files, then used a program called BLP2PNG to convert them to png format.

Hello friends!

I introduce this video:



It shows a very good cinematic "Crafting Azeroth" created by me. There are also, but in Spanish, an installation tutorial and a review of the map.

Hope you like the cinematic!

Absolutely amazing recreating a complete game world in...another game world. Rumsey, that is impressive your coding to accomplish this(bow). I read you are planning Outland, The Isles and instances and such in the future. Any future plans beyond WoW at this time? No rush as I'll be dynamiting Alliance cities for a while:D. An odd question:Are there random minerals in the ground? Or is it strictly the surface map. (got plans for a WoW server underway for my group:)

....Just when you thought you escaped Barrens chat... ..lol.

Is there any server running this map? I cannot get it to work with the hosting provider that I am using (Clanforge/Multiplay). I would really like to play it just to fly around and check it out

The cursecraft server should be running, at cursecraft.com:1337. It's had some stability issues but I think they may be sorted out now.

What a project.
