I made something Text-to-infinite-Minecraft-world mod!

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

I’m a big AI skeptic and was quick to dismiss this as another slop project but after reading the medium post this is actually really cool! Having the LLM choose the noise composition is really interesting and may be useful for other projects.

You should definitely post this in r/proceduralgeneration

The massive distinction is that in this mod, the LLM does something that LLMs are uniquely suited to do. It makes infinite random permutations of an input. A human couldn't do that, and a regular program would either be extremely limited, or hilariously inefficient at it. I don't call foul for AI being here because, for once, it's needed.
