Arnis

Arnis is a Minecraft world map generator converts real-world map data into playable Minecraft worlds.It uses OpenStreetMap and elevation datasets to recreate roads, buildings, rivers, land use and terrain.

Exports Java edition as a zip world folder and Bedrock edition as a.mcworld file for desktop, mobile and console platforms.Browser-based workflow.search or draw a map area, choose settings (terrain, buildings, roofs, interiors, land cover), then generate and download.

Supports simple roofs, optional interiors and 3D building geometry when source data is available; spawn point and area selection options are included.Suitable for small areas such as neighborhoods, campuses and city blocks; runtime varies with area size and map detail.

Conversion follows source map coverage, so missing or sparse OpenStreetMap data produces correspondingly incomplete in-game features.

Key Features

• Converts real-world map data into playable Minecraft worlds
• Uses OpenStreetMap and elevation datasets to recreate roads, buildings, rivers, land use and terrain
• Exports Java edition as a zip world folder and Bedrock edition as a .mcworld file for desktop, mobile and console
• Browser-based workflow: search or draw a map area, choose generation settings (terrain, buildings, roofs, interiors, land cover), then generate and download
• Supports simple roofs, optional interiors, 3D building geometry when source data is available, plus spawn point and area selection options

Use Cases

• Recreate a real-world neighborhood in Minecraft without GIS or coding: select or draw an area from OpenStreetMap with elevation, configure terrain, buildings, roofs and interiors in the browser, then export Java or Bedrock worlds for educational tours or multiplayer roleplay
• Build accurate training and planning environments for urban designers or emergency responders by importing OSM and elevation data, fine-tuning building footprints, heights and interiors, and exporting small-scale playable worlds for scenario testing and stakeholder walkthroughs
• Generate location-based exhibits and classroom experiences: draw landmarks or neighborhoods, preserve terrain elevation and building details, customize interiors and roofs, and deliver easy-to-run Java/Bedrock worlds for guided lessons, history recreations, or museum installations
