Prepare your project.

Useful information for editing or upgrading an existing map.

Define your request.

A few details help me understand your map, your priorities and the result you have in mind.

Request type, area and dimensions

Specify whether you want to refine your map’s details and quality (Upgrade), or make more substantial changes to specific areas (Edit). Include the dimensions and coordinates of those areas, what needs to be preserved and what should change. Interiors can also be part of the request.

Theme and style

Describe the map's setting — medieval, futuristic, dark fantasy, steampunk… — and the look you want: realistic, stylised, cartoon or semi-realistic. Images of the existing map help explain the style to preserve.

Essential elements and secondary details

Distinguish essential changes from decorative elements you would like, such as vegetation, ruins, fountains or other details. Specify which elements already exist and which need to be changed. Clear priorities help define the request.

Organic builds and assets

Mention any organic or complex forms you want, such as giant trees or unusual natural shapes. Also specify whether you accept the use of ready-made elements, such as trees, rocks or props. Their use and the scope of the work are to be agreed together.

Requirements & usage.

How the map will be used

Specify whether the areas concerned are decorative or playable. Mention access routes, gameplay areas, NPCs and existing mechanisms that must be preserved. Their presence does not mean that programming them is included in the work.

Technical limits

Specify the Minecraft version, any height limits, relevant plugins and the server's performance constraints.

Include your approximate budget and preferred timeframe if you know them.
