#2Hopefully Minecraft has a mod to let you fly around in a helicopter and pick people up from the ground only to drop them confused on top of a skyscraper.

#3Wow.
I played SimCity 2000 all the time when I was a kid. Still got the CD and some save files, and built a retro PC that can run it.[0] (I even have the same sound card that the family PC had, so the MIDI is exactly the same.)
Walking around my cities in Minecraft would be so surreal.

#4Very cool idea and execution.
Slightly off-topic; if there ever was a excellent example of what it means when a C# program is being written by a java developer, this would certainly qualify.
Was this ported from a java project?

#5This reminds me a lot of SimCopter (1996) where you could also import your SC2k city and fly around and do missions. Mostly about helping people in various forms of distress by picking them up and flying to various destinations. Great flashback from 90's gaming, I remember tossing people out at random when flying which was always hilarious when you're a young kid. You could then pick them up and fly them to the hospital to get fixed up.
But I must say I think the original SimCopter looks slightly better graphically than this Minecraft version.
You can play SimCity 2000 online here, by the way:

#6neat idea but the project is like 10 years old, and last commit was 3+ years ago and only works on java edition. would like to see something like this, but for other city builders like Caesar

While Ride of the Valkyries blares in the background, obviously.

Yes, as the project says, Minecraft. Not the cut-down mobile game with microtransactions that claims to be Minecraft.

Don't let your dreams be dreams, start coding!

Could you give examples of what you mean? I've had a look through and there are certainly stylistic things I'd do differently, such as using "var" and LINQ more, and capitalising method names. But it's easy enough to understand despite that.
