Real World Cities - Kansas City, USA - 1:1 scale - 45k
Added 2024-06-17 10:48:58 +0000 UTC
This work is a representation of the city of Kansas City, Missouri, on a 1:1 scale with buildings, roads, trees, and vegetation derived from OpenStreetMap.
Starting from this map, individual trees within the cities will be present in-game, if traced on OpenStreetMap. In larger cities this often happens, and therefore it is possible to represent urban vegetation quite realistically.
Biomes are positioned consistently, using high-resolution land cover data.

It is strongly recommended to use this map together with the Fabric Seasons mod, because due to the terrain’s altitude being perpetually above 130 in Minecraft, it would constantly snow across the entire map with an unrealistic effect. Fabric Seasons, on the other hand, allows snow to be based on the season (which in turn is based on the game’s time), leading to rain in cold biomes during the summer period, and snow in warm biomes during the winter period.
The altitude of the terrain in the real world ranges from 215m to 333m asl
In Minecraft, the lowest point of the terrain on the map is at 277, while the highest point is at 395, with a vertical resolution of 1m.
Water level is at 62, while the maximum building height is 1024.
