Arnis Tool (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Convert Real-World Cities into Minecraft Worlds Using OpenStreetMap

Arnis Tool (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is an open-source map-generation utility built in Rust that lets Minecraft Java Edition players transform real-world cities, towns, or landmarks into detailed Minecraft builds. Using live geographic data from OpenStreetMap, Arnis allows users to generate full-scale replicas of any location from your hometown to world-famous monuments inside a Minecraft world. It’s fast, efficient, and ideal for education, urban modeling, or survival exploration.

Features:

• Real-World to Minecraft Generator
  Turn OpenStreetMap (OSM) data into block-based terrain and structures. Select any city, region, or landmark on a map and recreate it directly in Minecraft.
• Highly Accurate Proportions
  Buildings, streets, and terrain are generated at 1:1 scale by default, ensuring realism and spatial accuracy.
• Simple Area Selection
  Use a rectangle selection tool to define your area of interest within the Arnis interface. Zoom and pan the map for pixel-precise borders.
• Optimized with Rust
  Built using the high-performance Rust language, Arnis can handle large-scale generation quickly while minimizing crashes or memory overload.
• World Integration
  Choose an existing or newly created superflat world in your Minecraft saves directory as the target. Arnis generates everything starting at coordinates (0,0,0).
• Command Access
  Use /tp 0 0 0 in-game to teleport directly to the generated map area once inside your world.
• Use Cases
  • Ideal for educational environments, allowing teachers to visually represent real-world geography.
  • Great for urban planning, survival adventure maps, or building on real-world layouts.
  • Enables creative inspiration by starting with recognizable real-world layouts.
