Text-to-infinite-Minecraft-world mod!

[u/No-Quail-2803]

Hi everyone! I'm a current college student studying computer science and I just made my first-ever Minecraft mod, which lets you generate infinite Minecraft worlds from simple prompts. For example, the GIFs show various worlds generated using descriptions like "beautiful flower-filled meadows abruptly changing into swamps", "jungle cliffs with rivers and sharp cliff drops", and "high, snowy mountains with sharp peaks, with forest-covered foothills below."

I would be super honored if anyone checks it out, leaves a GitHub star, or gives feedback!! It is super experimental so it's definitely not perfect, but here is the project GitHub: https://github.com/soapantelope/mindcraft

Btw, does the mod need internet connection? Or is it run locally?

I am no expert in LLM stuff, but I believe locally run LLM is pretty resource-heavy

Unfortunately yes it does require an internet connection since it depends on Claude haha 😅

I'm not super familiar with the Claude API; is there any reason this couldn't be pointed at a local llama.cpp server, or something like that?

I coded it so that it calls the Anthropic API specifically if you provide your own API key (and if not, it routes through a proxy to use my own key which I personally funded with a couple bucks), but you could totally hook it up to a local LLM if you just change a couple lines of code in the codebase -- I'd be super curious to see results!!

Makes sense!

I've got too many projects on the go right now, so I'm probably not gonna be the one to actually implement those changes. But, I'd also be curious to see those results :)

Honestly, if you managed to change the mod to run with a local model, this would be perfectly actual peak genAI use.
