A developer has created a tool called Terrainist that uses large language models (LLMs) to generate Minecraft worlds from natural language prompts. The tool translates prompts into a high-level JSON representation using a custom language called 'loam', which is then compiled into a complete Minecraft world. This process combines a custom procedural generator with LLMs for unique structures, with generation costs estimated between $0.25 and $0.75 for a 512x512 block world using Gemini 3.8 Flash via OpenRouter.
