If you want to know more about the GDMC competition, or join us for the 10th year, check out our wiki.
If you are wondering how one would even generate a settlement in Minecraft without human intervention, you can check out their GitHub repository, which not only has their code, but also images, a video guide, and a tech document.

📽️🥳🎇
So far, the main challenge has not been solved, and humans are still better than AI at this task. If you want to engage and talk to us, drop by on our discord: discord.com/invite/ueaxuXj
You can still participate in this year's competition; all you have to do is write an algorithm that can generate an interesting Minecraft settlement for an unseen Minecraft map. Or join us next year, for the 10-year anniversary.
Submissions for the 2026 AI Settlement Generation Challenge in #Minecraft are now open until the 1st of July.

The NYU Web address we used is being phased out, and probably down, but ideally you should not find this anywhere ... Apart from some older material.
