Over the years, dedicated gamers have created incredible recreations of real (and not so real) locations and structures within the confines of Minecraft. Thanks to their efforts, you can explore everything from New York City to Middle Earth and the U.S.S. Enterprise in 1:1: scale.

But what if you wanted to recreate your own town, and didn’t have the hundreds of hours of spare time necessary to do it by hand? Enter Arnis, an open source project from [Louis Erbkamm] that can pull in geographic data from OpenStreetMap and turn it into a highly detailed Minecraft map with just a few keystrokes.

Once generated, the map can be loaded into the Java Edition of Minecraft. This refers to the original build of the game that predates the Microsoft buyout.

Looks like a pretty interesting holiday project!

Built a rail network around our island and kiddo catches me just doing laps.

Also, um, kiddo logged out and went to bed and I appear to be still playing ... quite intensely.

Lunchtime Minecraft sesh and we made a long road between the two houses which frequently attracts a bat we've dubbed Bruce.

So, Bruce Lane. 🦇 😁
