Exeter 2025 Minecraft Challenge

Welcome

Welcome to the Exeter 2025 Minecraft Challenge. Using Geocraft Exeter City Futures has created a Minecraft map of Exeter City Centre generated from Open Data – an interactive and accessible map which can be used by citizens to redesign the city.

We are inviting you to download our map and craft what you want Exeter to look like in the future. We want to see your vision for a more sustainable city – one where the city centre is car-free, where energy comes from more sustainable sources, and where it is is a happier and healthier place to live. You can also craft collaboratively on our online server.

Below are a series of challenges to inspire your vision of future Exeter. The best responses to the challenges will be included in a final version of the map to be released early in 2019.

Challenges

Respond to one of our challenges areas below by downloading the Exeter 2018 map or by crafting on our server.

What does a car-free city centre look like? What could we do with the empty roads?

Sustainable High Street

What does a sustainable high street look like, with energy efficient and inspiring buildings?

Alternative Transportation

What alternatives to cars could citizens use to get around Exeter? Could we use the River Exe, or go underground?

Alternative Energy Sources

Can you create a renewable energy infrastructure using Redstone blocks? What would Exeter look like with more alternative energy sources?

Super Cycle Paths

If you could build cycle paths anywhere, what would be the best network you could create?
