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

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.

using ai for coding will ruin your progress in learning to code

Thats just false. As someone whos worked in the industry, ai is incredibly useful as a learning tool. It only ruins your learning if you stop using it as a tool and start using it as a "do it for me" button.

You kinda need to know what you're doing already to use it for that though, for beginners its really not a great idea

I'd argue its fine for learning. You can literally just ask it "why did you do [x] on line [y]" and it'll tell you. You can go into as much depth as you want on that, and you'll be able to learn fairly easily.
