Do they have some sort of Minecraft version control system? Can people work on a local copy and then merge their changes into the main branch?
Minecraft is a real time multiplayer game. People build together collaboratively. Think Google Docs, not VCS.

That would be an incredibly useful tool for prototypes
Autodesk Infrastructure is used in the architecture/engineering/construction world for this sort of thing. It is essentially a prototyping tool to combine any early stage data you have (aerial surveys, a mockup 3D model for a building, etc.) with existing geospatial data. It will give you terrain, roads, and buildings to varying degrees of accuracy. https://www.autodesk.com/products/infraworks/overview?term=1...
It's pretty frustrating, because it's rare for Autodesk to consider hosting servers anywhere OTHER than America, and I wanna play with the new toys :S

#45Considering the Minecraft (unmodded) resolution (that is, its lack of it), I cannot help but to look at this as a giant wasted effort... and I am writing this as someone who has seen some amazing looking creations. But, while it might be easier to do, one meter is just too large for any decent experience with a more personal "face-to-block" virtual street walk. Having it built out of 20-centimeter sided blocks (with…

nonetheless, it’s also a game that can be run on customized servers and has the capability to import objects and run scripts during gameplay, so you certainly can merge changes in a patch kind of way.

#48Not directly related to this project but in a similar spirit. Recently, while exploring france’s national geography department (Institut de Géographie Nationale [1]) website, I came across a page [2] which allows anybody to download a Minecraft world representing any 25km^2 area of France. The page lets you set the precise center and many other parameters such as whether to include buildings or even stylistic options…
