Turning a real place into a Minecraft world normally takes a command-line program. This tool puts that behind a simple map page that also works on a phone.

  1. Built a map page where you search for a place, frame the area and name your world.
  2. Added Use My Location and Use Current Map View buttons so it works well on a phone.
  3. Connected the page to a server that builds the world from public map data and returns a zip to download.
  4. Added a terrain toggle for hills and valleys, and a size limit so one request cannot overload the server.
  5. Packaged it to run in a container, with settings to host it in the cloud.
  • Map search
  • Use My Location
  • Terrain toggle
  • Downloadable world

Built in March 2026 as a working prototype with cloud settings. No live version could be confirmed.
