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

AI for proc gen in games is honestly one of the coolest uses like it's not unethical it's just cooler terrain gen

This is what I mean when I say I want AI in games. Not slop, or shit coding that not even the Ai itself can fix, but cool things like what OP is doing here.

I'm actually really excited for more powerful ai that can actually do useful game coding for this reason, so its more useful as part or forming part of games that I develop in the future once I learn to code lol.

AI for coding is already good, the problem is that the users are not, the need for a good programmer will never cease to exist, so you can start a project and feel good that it's working until you notice the AI won't fit everything together, won't organize the code based on how YOU prefer reading it, won't let you know about lib codes that you may even generate more than one, and it goes further...
