Welcome to the Generative Design in Minecraft Competition Wiki! Home of the GDMC AI Settlement Generation challenge, where people build AI generators that make interesting Minecraft Settlement. Here you will find information about the competition, framework, examples and explanations, and various research projects (ongoing and otherwise). If you want to join the competition, this is a great place to start.

Our current competition can be found here.

Do you like playing Minecraft? Do you like procedural content generation, or were ever interested in trying it out? Have you ever looked at a village in Minecraft and thought, "I bet I could write something that does that better." Well, now is your chance to prove it!

If you are interested in joining our competition, we highly recommend our discord channel, where we have an active community of several hundred members, and lots of resources to get you started: Discord Channel invite link

If you have some ideas to share and want to help make this wiki better, you can join the site and start contributing straight away! We would particularly invite you to contribute if you are a past participant or framework developer, in which case it would be great if you could either document your work here, or provide a link to the documentation elsewhere.

The Wiki Area

The wiki area is open to all registered Wikidot users to create and edit freely. To organize wiki pages we use tags. The wiki area provides a collaborative information database on all past and ongoing projects for the framework.

Email notifications

By default, the site admin and all site members will get notified when anything on the site changes. This can create a lot of email but it lets admins rapidly answer posts, delete spam, and check edits to pages.

Other users will get email notifications only for the page they created, edited, or commented on.

Any registered user can also explicitly "Watch" the whole site, a category, or a specific page.
