Minecraft Map & World Guides

Everything about turning real places into playable Minecraft worlds.

Arnis reads real map data from OpenStreetMap and turns it into actual Minecraft buildings, roads, terrain, and water. These guides walk through how it works, what to expect, and how to get your world into the game. You can generate worlds yourself with the free desktop app, or online with MapSmith if you are on mobile or prefer not to install anything.
