The GDMC AI Settlement Generation competition has again teamed up with the #IEEE conference on games, and we are happy to be one of its official competitions: cog2025.inesc-id.pt/gdmc/

The #GDMC AI Settlement Generation Competition in #Minecraft is kicking off for its 2025 run. Feel free to share and participate. More info on our wiki gendesignmc.wikidot.com/wiki:2025-se... Do you think you can write code that can make and interesting Minecraft settlement? Show us!

The AI Settlement Generation Competition has been running since 2018. The basic idea is that you write a script that can create some kind of settlement on an arbitrary Minecraft map (via map editor or custom Minecraft API). Then they take the scripts, run them on some maps, and judge the results.
