BlockMap turns any real place on Earth into a playable Minecraft world. Search your city, your street, your school or a famous landmark, tap once, and get a ready-to-play world file (.mcworld) that opens straight in Minecraft on your phone or tablet. Every world is built from real map data: real streets and roads, real building footprints and heights, rivers, lakes, parks, railways and terrain. Walk around a block version of your own neighborhood, or start a survival, creative, parkour or roleplay world in a place you actually know. HOW IT WORKS 1. Search any place - an address, a city, a landmark. 2. Aim the map at the area you want (about 1 km across). 3. Tap "Create my world". BlockMap builds it in seconds. 4. Open it in Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) and play. PLACES TO TRY - New York: Times Square, Central Park and the Manhattan skyscrapers. - Paris: the Eiffel Tower and the streets around it. - Dubai: Burj Khalifa and the downtown towers. - Giza: the Great Pyramid, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the Sphinx. - Barcelona: Sagrada Familia. Moscow: Red Square. Washington: the White House. - London, Tokyo, Rome, Istanbul, Seoul, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Mexico City - any city on the map. - Your home, your school, your street, your hometown. WHAT YOU GET - A real-world map for Minecraft Bedrock Edition (the mobile edition, formerly Pocket Edition) in the .mcworld format. - Real building shapes and heights, roads, water, greenery and terrain from OpenStreetMap. - One-tap generation on your phone - no PC, no mods, no commands, no seeds to hunt for. - Worlds open directly in Minecraft. You can also save the .mcworld file and share it with friends. - Some famous places hide hand-built details waiting to be found. - Interface in 72 languages. GOOD FOR - Building a block version of your hometown, campus or school. - Exploring famous cities and landmarks in Minecraft. - Custom survival and creative maps based on a real place. - Map making, city building, roleplay and parkour courses on real streets. - Geography and city-planning projects with real map data.
