Visit the project homepage for executables for PC and Mac, documentation links, credits, etc. Much of the mapping and UI code is built on the open-source project Minutor.
There are different major versions of Mineways. You usually want the latest version; version 1.15 can be used on older worlds.
- Version 6. works on Minecraft 1.2 to 1.13 and beyond, but is 64-bit only.
- Version 5. works on Minecraft 1.2 to 1.9 and beyond, adds scripting language.
- Version 4. works on Minecraft 1.2 to 1.9-ish and beyond, 64-bit for large exports.
- Version 3. works on Minecraft 1.2 to 1.7 worlds (Anvil, stair geometry changes, and new texturing).
- Version 2.x works on Minecraft 1.2 worlds to 1.4 (Anvil format).
- Version 1.x works on Minecraft 1.1 worlds and earlier (McRegion format).
Source files are here:
- Win/ contains the Windows version of Mineways (in C++).
- TileMaker/ contains the TileMaker for Mineways, which takes the individual block textures and forms a terrainExt.png file for use by Mineways. This allows you to replace any terrain textures with your own custom tiles.
Compiling
- Windows - You can compile this with Visual Studio Community 2022 You will need to install the "Desktop development with C++" workload. You will also need to go to "Individual components", search on "MFC", and choose "C++ MFC for latest v143 build tools (x86 & x64)".
Open Mineways.sln in Visual C++, switch the target to Release and x64, compile the solution to
generate Mineways.exe
Sorry, other platforms are not directly supported, though Mineways runs fine under WINE and we also provide a Mac-specific version.
If you want to work on the mapping part of this program on another platform, see Minutor, which is supported on Mac and Linux.
