# Introduction

## Minecraft Earth Tiles

is a **Windows** program created by **Matti Borchers** that allows anyone to create any region of the Earth in Minecraft at different scales based on their own selections. 

#### Here is Matti Borchers’ official explanation:

> *“The idea was to create smaller parts of the world, like continents, countries or just small islands. I am doing this by splitting the earth in different parts, called “Tiles”. Each Tile has a dimension of 1° latitude and 1° longitude, making a total of 64800 Tiles for the whole planet.”*

There are many features that this program offers and we will be providing information about every setting in this documentation.
