Real-World Landmarks at 1:1 Scale (CartoVoxel)

Real-World Landmarks at 1:1 Scale

16 playable worlds of real places, generated block by block from OpenStreetMap data at 1:1 scale (one block per metre), with real terrain heights. Each file on the Files tab is a different place, and each world covers about 10 km² (roughly 3.2 × 3.2 km).

Good to know

• These worlds are generated, not hand-built. Buildings use mapped footprints and heights, so they follow the real street plan rather than being detailed replicas. Interiors and fine details are yours to add.
• Vanilla Java Edition world saves (Minecraft 1.21.4 or newer). No mods or data packs needed.
• Each world has its own folder and name, so you can install several side by side.
• Gallery images are in-game screenshots (with shaders) and isometric renders of each world’s blocks.

How to install

1. Download a world from the Files tab.
2. Unzip it into your saves folder: Windows %appdata%\.minecraft\saves, macOS ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves, Linux ~/.minecraft/saves.
3. Start Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4 or newer and open the world from Singleplayer.
