TheMinecraft Reader will takes as input dataset a Minecraft level.dat file. A Region folder should also be present in the same folder. The reader will create a point cloud using these region files. All region files in the folder will be parsed into the point cloud.

The reader will create points for each block found in each region, and will assign x, y, z, blockID, and blockData components from the data blocks. Air blocks (blockID =0) will not be included in the final point cloud.


Each Region file is named after its location in the world represents 512 x 256 x 512 blocks in the Minecraft world. Minecraft continues to generate new Regions as the player continues to explore new ground. Regions are additionally split into 1024 (32 x 32), with 16 x 256 x 16 Chunks. Each chunk is then split into up to 16 individual sections.


The Minecraft Writer takes in a Point Cloud as input and creates the corresponding world files in the chosen destination folder. Minecraft Region (*.mca) and any level files (level.dat) present in the folder will be deleted before writing the new data. Each point in the point cloud will be mapped to a block in the world. The blockID and blockData components define the type of block created at that location. 3 4


Each world is stored in a separate folder containing the level.dat file and the regions, as well as additional game data. Adding the folder generated to this location will make the world playable in Minecraft.


For technical reasons, you need to know the seed of your world to use Jungle Temple Finder, unless, of course, you want to find a seed for a new world. If you're playing SSP, the app is able to fetch the seed from your savegame. Alternatively, you can use the /seed command ingame. In SMP, you can use the same command if you have sufficient rights. Otherwise, however, you're dependent on the server owner, who started the world and has access to the savegame and config files.


This app uses some relatively new web technologies. As a result, some features may be disabled for older browsers. I recommend using the latest version of a major browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari.


The first thing you should do is select a seed and version. You can either type it in manually, or you can load it from your savegame. The latter can be done by clicking on "Load from Save..." and selecting your level.dat, or by drag&dropping the level.dat file into your browser window. Level.dat is a small file located in the folder of every Minecraft savegame. You can find the savegames in the saves folder of your Minecraft installation. On Windows you can use %appdata%\.minecraft\saves to get to that folder.
