Arnis turns real-world locations into Minecraft worlds

This has the rare “wow, I want to try that immediately” factor, and that matters a lot for an open-source project.

• –The core hook is incredibly clear: turn a hometown, landmark, or city into Minecraft, which makes the product instantly understandable and shareable.
• –It sits at a strong intersection of gaming, geospatial data, and open data tooling, so the audience is broader than just Minecraft players.
• –The browser-based MapSmith option is a smart wedge because it removes installation friction and makes the product easier to demo.
• –Quality will naturally vary by region because the result depends on OSM coverage and elevation data density, so the best outputs will come from well-mapped places.
• –The project feels more durable than a novelty because it exposes real controls and supports both Java and Bedrock rather than just generating screenshots.
