Are you Japanese? Much love for your country and I do hope to see an economic turnaround soon. I was in Tokyo (Toshima City/Komegome Station) for a month earlier this year and paid ¥1000 to be slapped by a Muscle Girl.
I tried reading around for confirmation and found none but I suspect this Minecraft map could be very easily generated with data already gathered. I’ve seen tools that can generate whole MC worlds with Google Maps data. I doubt anyone was manually placing blocks.
They definitely paid a dude to recreate this in survival over three months.
It’s just a mapping of the height data from their scan into block height in a Minecraft world. It’s cool and all but nothing new technically. Wouldn’t have taken much time I don’t think.
I’ve seen some days ago a tool for BeamNG (vehicle/racing simulation game) that allows you to create maps with the general overlay of any region mapped by I think it was Google Earth. Apparently the tool was made in a month by a single guy, so if the technology is there already with such a constraint and for a game not made as a building game (even if mod-capable), the state and military (?) apparatus being used to create a generation tool for a well-documented building game sounds more than feasible imo.
Seems pretty cool. With a little refinement on precanned buildings and road layouts, it could be very cool. It’s similar to what Microsoft did with Flight Simulator.

I feel like it was a mukō shokumu situation that no one checked in on.

I, too, saw something on that. It’s https://mapng.com/
