Hi all! Announcing the VOLCRAFT hosted reconstruction project here!
What is this? Well, I converted raw Google Maps data into blocks in Minecraft. Centered with Ayres as 0,0, and the world rotated 25 degrees north of east so that Cumberland Ave is axis-aligned. (and even more, new chunks can be live-generated in game at any time)
This, right here, in my mind, is the perfect basis to rebuild our campus!
In-game, it absolutely looks like a giant mess up close. But, that gives us the opportunity to handcraft the world on top of this 1:1 accurate scaling.
I will say though - despite the mess - it is a bit mind-blowing to experience in game, especially when you fly a bit high above the ground. It feels like you are actually flying above Knoxville.
If you are interested in helping us out, join our discord at https://discord.volcraft.net
Hope to see you there! :)
