A proof-of-concept for transforming UBC's Vancouver Campus into a Minecraft world through the use of geospatial data processing and deep learning.

minecraftUBC

The UBC Minecraft Project is a project that aims to recreate the UBC Vancouver Campus inside a Minecraft world, in a 1:1 scale.

It's built by transforming LiDAR data, operational geospatial data, and various reference imagery through surface reconstruction, data processing, and deep learning algorithms. See the CVPR Demo Poster to learn more!

Note: This project uses submodules. If you want to clone the deep learning modules and related subprojects, please clone with git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ashtanmistal/minecraftUBC.git If you just want to download the world, there's no need to clone the submodules.

Server and World Download

Note: The server is currently offline. Check out the latest release for the world download.

If you're looking to check out the world on the server or want to chat about the project, please see the Discord server where the IP address is shared.
