A heightmap-based terrain plugin for the Godot game engine, implemented entirely in GDScript. It provides terrain sculpting, texture painting, holes, level of detail, and grass support with integrated editor tools.

Use cases

• create 3D terrain for a Godot game
• sculpt heightmap landscapes in the Godot editor
• paint textures on terrain in Godot
• add grass and level of detail to Godot terrain
• generate procedural terrain in Godot
• learn how to build Godot editor plugins

When to choose

• you need a terrain system in Godot 4.x since the engine has none built in
• you want a pure GDScript solution that is easy to modify
• you want stable, maintained terrain tooling with editor integration

When to avoid

• you need a terrain system for engines other than Godot
• you need actively developed new features, since the author only does bug fixes
• you need maximum performance from native code, as there is no GDExtension implementation
