terroir

Welcome to Terroir!

Terroir uses real data to generate Minecraft worlds which somewhat resemble actual places in the real world.

Installation

TODO: Install Docker, and fetch the pre-built image.

Requirements

Terroir requires a certain basic set of data in order to generate worlds.

• Raw mapping data
  • Elevation (1/3 arc-second is fine)
  • Landcover (NLCD 2011 is fine)
• Map parameters
  • Projection
  • Landcover translation table
• Local parameters
  • Latlong boundaries
  • Scaling values

TODO: Use whatever tools you need to use to retrieve your mapping data. Example of National Map viewer goes here.

TODO: Any example from another country would be very nice!

Preparation

TODO: Run the batch file generator script against your settings.

Execution

TODO: Run the pre-built Docker container with the following parameters.

TODO: The output is a ready to use Minecraft world!

Future work

I am accepting pull requests for bugfixes and features!

I would like to see (and hope to add) additional support for the following:

• Non-US regions (specifically EU)
• Rivers
• Villages

That being said, it is highly unlikely that I will personally add the following features:

• Iconic buildings (bring your own Eiffel Tower!)
• Other planets or moons

I will still accept pull requests for those features, they just aren't interesting enough to me for me to add them!
