I'm here with my first map project! Britannicus was a map I created over a year ago that I originally created for a past ancient Roman RP server called Romecraft: Britannia. The server unfortunately met an untimely end and after that, this map collected dust in my files. I've toyed with using it for different projects and modified a couple times since then but nothing really major. I did recently redo some of the tree generation.

This map was heavily inspired by a selection of landscapes from the coast and countryside of Somerset, England, more specifically the Somerset Levels and the Mendip Hills.

The scale of this map is fairly close to the real life geographic features but they aren't exact, as I wasn't able to get a proper heightmap to do so. As such, this map was created entirely by hand in Worldpainter! I originally had this specific region in mind to correlate with the detailed backstory of the Britannia server, but over time I made the map a bit more just generically lowland England looking.



The map includes no builds or anything extra. Just the landscape as you see it. It features some areas of rocky cliffs more inland and then a sprawling array of streams, rivers, and creeks, dense forests, rolling plains, low coasts and high seaside ledges. The map now has caves and regular resources. It is a very large 10,000 x 11,000 block map with plenty of space for building.

This map works for 1.14.4 now but doesn't have kelp or seaweed in all the oceans and rivers (yet).

This map is in my humble opinion the best map I've personally made, and I'd love to share it and let others use it, but I'm not quite ready to give it out to the public yet as I think it could be even better. Hopefully I'll actually deliver on that promise some day, lol.

If you're looking for something like this with history and realism also in mind (and far better quality then what I can do haha) that you can download, I highly recommend checking out Dwarfosi's Northumbrian Coastline map.

Probably not for the foreseeable future. Other projects have taken priority over this one I'm afraid. Thanks though!

Eventually it will be, yes. We've got some other projects going on and we will finish up some things to make this map fully releasable when we have the time. Hopefully that won't be too much longer!

Is there still any chance of this getting released, this map looks really nice seeing it on the pictures and would be perfect for a build.

Thanks for the shoutout! This is really good. It really looks like lowland England in my opinion. I can't believe you did this just with world painter. Kudos to you!

Also, here's to being the current top two Environment/Landscaping projects right now and both being British Landscapes!
