Minecraft Game Adds Ordnance Survey GB Terrain Data

Minecraft game includes Ordnance Survey GB terrain data By Matthew Wall Technology reporter, BBC News


23 September 2013


Minecraft, the cult video game that lets you build and creating monsters, allows you to incorporate Ordnance Survey terrain data from Great Britain into your blockwork virtual world.


The game's 33,000,000 players have the ability to create worlds on top of accurate geographical landscapes that cover 224,000 km (86,000 miles) of Britain.

Joseph Braybrook, an intern at OS's Innovation Labs, created the GB Minecraft world in just two weeks.


It uses OS OpenData products for free.


Graham Dunlop, OS Innovation Lab Manager, said that "we think we may have created the biggest Minecraft world ever" Based on real-world data.


"The resulting map demonstrates the immense potential of Minecraft not just for geography and computer technology-related purposes in schools, but also for the broad range of OS OpenData applications."


Minecraft, created by Swede Markus "Notch" Persson in 2009, is a virtual world made of cubes of various materials, including rock, sand and lava.

Players can co-operate in building shelters, making items out of raw materials, and fighting off a variety of monsters.


The OS GB world contains more than 22 billion Minecraft blocks.


After downloading the map into Minecraft the players are able to enter the 3D virtual world via OS's headoffice in Southampton. From there, they can recreate real-world features like Stonehenge or imagine buildings such as Hogwarts castle.


The OS map products include OS Terrain 50 and OS VectorMap together to create an 3D model of the earth's surface that is layered with features like roads, woodlands, and water.

You can build your own structures using the top.


As OS is the UK's national mapping authority, its information includes the mainland and surrounding islands but not Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man or Channel Islands.
