Overview
ArnisWeb is a browser-based generator that turns real-world locations into playable Minecraft worlds. You search for a city, address or landmark, draw a rectangle on the map, pick the edition and settings, and the service builds the world automatically from OpenStreetMap features (buildings, roads, water, nature) on real elevation terrain. Java worlds download as a ZIP world folder, and Bedrock worlds as .mcworld where offered. It is a hosted service built on the open-source Arnis project, so there is nothing to install. It is not an official Minecraft product and is not associated with Mojang or Microsoft.
