WKit-Powered Digital Twin
Server Guide
Our Minecraft server generates real Tacoma terrain from elevation data and OpenStreetMap. Every block you place exists at real geographic coordinates.
Quick Connect
How to Connect
Install Minecraft Java Edition
You need Java Edition (not Bedrock). Make sure you have version 1.21.8 or compatible. Launch the game and log in.
Add the Server
Click Multiplayer → Add Server. Enter name: 7ABCs Farmcraft and address: 192.168.1.183:25565

You'll spawn at Surge South Tacoma (47.207°N, 122.459°W). Real terrain generates as you move. Buildings, roads, water, and forests appear from OpenStreetMap data.
WKit Commands
/wkit coords
Show your current Minecraft coordinates AND the real-world latitude/longitude. Use this to find your geographic position on the digital twin.
/wkit status
Show server status: Arnis binary, projection origin (Mount Tahoma), loaded sectors, and system health.
/sector list
List all generated sectors. Each sector is a named area of real-world terrain that has been loaded into the Minecraft world.
/sector tp <name>
Teleport to a named sector. Use this to quickly jump between build challenge areas.
/sector info <name>
Show details about a sector: geographic bounds, MC coordinates, generation status, and size.
/sector here
Show which sector you're currently standing in, with geographic coordinates and sector metadata.

How the Digital Twin Works
The WKit plugin transforms Minecraft into a geographic information system. Here's the pipeline:
Real Coordinates
Mount Tahoma (46.85°N, 121.76°W) = MC origin (0,0)
Elevation Data
AWS Terrarium tiles provide real terrain height at ~38m resolution
OSM Features
Buildings, roads, water, forests from OpenStreetMap rendered as blocks
ArnisChunkGenerator
The custom chunk generator fetches elevation and OSM data synchronously as you explore. Terrain is generated on-demand — the world grows as you walk through it. Natural biomes change with elevation: beaches at sea level, temperate rainforest in the lowlands, subalpine meadows at mid-elevation, and glaciers at the summit of Tahoma.
.mcworld Export for Education Edition
Export your Farmcraft builds as .mcworld files that can be imported into Minecraft Education Edition. This lets you share your digital twin with anyone, anywhere — teachers, judges, other teams, communities without server access.
How It Works
Build your farm, textile station, or longhouse on the live server at real geographic coordinates.
Run /sector export <name> to package the sector as a .mcworld file. The plugin converts Java Edition chunks to Bedrock format automatically.
Download the .mcworld file from the server. Share it with anyone — they double-click to import into Education Edition.
Use the .mcworld as your NASEF Farmcraft submission artifact, or distribute to classrooms for educational use.
Export Details
- Format: .mcworld (Bedrock/Education Edition)
- Conversion: Java → Bedrock via Chunker (MIT)
- Contents: Terrain, builds, signs, items
- Spawn: Set to sector center
- Mode: Creative, Peaceful
- Size: Varies by sector (typically 5-50 MB)
Tech Note
The export pipeline uses Chunker (MIT-licensed, Mojang-backed) for Java-to-Bedrock world conversion, plus our custom Arnis terrain engine for geographic accuracy.
