Minecraft fun is an area where Ordnance Survey have pipped us to the post. It's mostly whichever terrain data mapbox brings in. And actually the source data is only a little bit OpenStreetMap ("giving distinct colors to grass, wood, water"). The output is not minecraft, but a similar Voxel landscape.

So it focuses first on current construction projects and ongoing works in the areas that will be affected by projected or ongoing works, without forgetting their existing environment.īlog post: How to design a Minecraft-inspired world with Mapbox and Unity is a demo of a new Mapbox unity integration. This (unusually large) free map will then contain interesting suggestions or can similate what will be built in the city and measure the impact more visually than just technical maps of architects that are hard to read for the public or do not necessarily place the projects in a more global city view. Anyway the site uses this rendering to bring access to citizens in planning the develomment of the city and its environment, and to allow seeing simulated projections of the ongoing projects. Most buildings were imported from the French cadastre, but OSM contains many more details, which are ignored for the Minecraft rendering.

It doesn't use directly OpenStreetMap data, it uses official open data from Rennes Metropole (which is published with a license compatible with OSM), and some of this data has been integrated in OpenStreetMap. All detailed in the 'making of' section and open source on github.

"Based on available OpenStreetMap data, our engine make Minecraft worlds from everywhere on the Earth’s surface – on-demand." (for a small fee)Ĭhristopher Gutteridge describes how he spent countless hours making a 3D model of Ventor (a place in the Isle of white) by placing blocks in game (battling zombies at night time all the while!) He did use OpenStreetMap at this stage, for planning, however later went on to create a converter, which took OpenStreetMap data and produced a minecraft map in an automated way. This has been the first (commercial) implementation of the concept with some free demontration maps on a few cities.
