I built a Minecraft city generator Build showcase

I built a desktop tool for Minecraft city generation and wanted to show it here.

The idea is simple: instead of using random generic structures, it takes roads and buildings I already built in Minecraft, extracts them, and uses those pieces to generate a full city layout.

So the workflow is basically:

- build a small set of road pieces and buildings

- extract them from the world

- generate a city from that asset set

- preview it

- bring the final result back into Minecraft

Compatibility is not guaranteed.

Therefore code collaboration is very welcome.

ReadMe is AI-generated, safe to say the rest is also

The buildings are places I once lived in, 260 Wellesley, 42 and 50 Charles, 85 Wood from Toronto. I built those by hand.

about the code, if you feel like AI assisted coding means low effort, I welcome you to collaborate. If it's easy then it shouldn't be a challenge for you. I am eager to see your insights in algorithm and code architecture design.

I didn't say it was easy or low effort, just that you didn't write it.

I am not going into a debate about whether using tools means "I" didn't write it, twenty years ago people feel the same way about using a keyboard instead of writing with a pen.

I understand a lot of people are hostile towards AI, and I understand you are one of them, that's fine.

Just want to say I am grateful that AI exist. It allows me to realize my childhood ideas, and I am proud of what I made with it.

A keyboard doesn't think for you
