TopoBlocks turns real places into playable block worlds you can explore, keep, and host with friends. Pick a city block, campus, hometown, mountain, or coastline, review the map quality score and 3D preview, then build the world file. From there you can inspect, repair, convert, back up, host a private server, and invite friends to explore together. Core features - Real-place generation: transform roads, buildings, water, and terrain from public map data into explorable block worlds. - Preview before paying: review quality, coverage, area, and a 3D preview before generating the final file. - World-file toolkit: inspect files for free, run basic structure repairs, convert across compatible formats, slim local files, verify snapshots, and prepare safer rollbacks. - Private hosting: choose Starter, Standard, or Pro hosting, deploy your world to a private server, and share the address with friends. - File safety: local diagnosis runs on device by default, original files are not overwritten, and important operations keep traceable new versions or snapshots. Built for - Players who want their neighborhood, trip destination, or hometown as an explorable world - Friends who want a private server for adventures in real places - Creators who need to inspect, repair, or convert existing world files Paid products Real-map generation is charged per project by area. Managed hosting is a monthly auto-renewable subscription for running your private server. File diagnosis, basic repair, local slimming, and some server monitoring previews are free. There are no loot boxes, gambling mechanics, random rewards, or paid progression shortcuts. Data and attribution Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
