Arnis is a free and open-source desktop application that generates playable Minecraft worlds from real-world geographic data. The project processes large datasets from sources such as OpenStreetMap and elevation data to recreate terrain, buildings, roads, and landmarks with impressive spatial accuracy inside Minecraft. By converting geographic information into Minecraft blocks and structures, Arnis allows users to explore real cities, neighborhoods, and landscapes in a virtual environment that mirrors the real world. The tool handles large-scale geospatial processing and transforms raw mapping data into a format compatible with Minecraft world generation. Users can generate entire regions, including detailed urban layouts and natural terrain, making it useful for education, visualization, or creative world-building projects.
