What is Arnismc?
Arnis is an open-source Minecraft world generator that converts real-world geographic data into playable Java and Bedrock edition maps.It uses OpenStreetMap building footprints, roads and land-use data via the Overpass API plus elevation datasets to recreate streets, buildings, landmarks and terrain.
Available as a desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) and an online Mapsmith generator for browser and mobile, arnis outputs Java save folders or.mcworld files for Bedrock and Education editions.The tool provides an interactive rectangle selection, customizable generation settings, and support for large areas with generation time dependent on area size, map density and hardware.
arnis is suited for builders, server operators, educators and players who need real-world locations for geography, urban planning or creative projects.Source code, releases and documentation are hosted on the official GitHub repository, and generated worlds reflect the coverage and detail of community-contributed OSM data.
Follow the official GitHub releases for downloads and additional usage guidance.
