Hello guys / girls Thrive here, and I've seen many comments recently on how people terra-form such good maps, and how they make them have many different features, like rivers, mountains, biomes, deltas, and more. I am here to tell you how to create your own terra-forms!

Top Notch Program To Use (Free)

World Painter
Link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/231255-worldpainter-new-map-creatorgenerator-work-in-progress/

Tips

1. Realistics - To get realistic looking hills, mountains, and terrain, use the "Noise" brush in world painter at about 40% power - Left-click around the map to add noise and small bumps and hills in the surface

2. Deltas - Use the "Cracks" brush to create deltas in world painter at 100% power
Simply right-click once on an area to create a delta (must be 1 - 3 blocks above water)

3. Rivers / Streams - To create good rivers and streams, simply select the "Linear" brush in World Painter at about 50% power, and right-click / move the brush to lower the terrain for a river / stream

4. Plateaus - To create realistic plateaus, simply select the plateau brush in World Painter at about 50-60%
Then left-click and hold to create plateaus, then retrace the plateau with the "Noise" brush at about 30% power

5. Biomes - This is is perhaps the easiest, just select the biome you want either from the biomes list or the side bar in World Painter, then select the brush type, which affects the number / intensity of the biome that will be showing
Next, just left-click around until your biomes have reached satisfaction!

End Note

- Now you are ready to start making your own world using in-depth advanced knowledge on how to terra-form using World Painter! Please, if you liked this tutorial and guide, Diamond it and Subscribe to stay in touch with upcoming builds and news!

I think terraforming looks better/more natural with voxelsniper or world edit, I only use world painter to make a base world. BTW good tips, I like them =]
