### Introduction

Hello. My name is Brandon Conrady and I am currently early on in my data science studies in college. This is my first data set, so enjoy!

### Context

I am currently taking a statistics course and this got me curious as to finding distributions from samples gathered in my day to day life. Since I play video games, I turned to Minecraft. For those who don't know, Minecraft has a block called the composter which allows you to input an item such as wheat. The item disappears, and has a percent chance of raising the compost level within the composter. When the compost level reaches 7, it creates another item called bone meal, which can act as fertilizer to grow plants. I wanted to collect this data and throw it onto Kaggle to see what people could come up with using it.

### Content

Each csv file contains samples from when the item specified was used on the composter. Most contain 2000 entries. However, the cookies dataset contains 3000 since it is more efficient at creating bone meal. I may update to add further entries to each csv file, but seeing as the current data already approximates a distribution I am currently unsure if any more entries would be useful.

### Acknowledgements

Minecraft is the intellectual property of Microsoft, although the datasets themselves don't involve any direct usage of the product itself, rather records of observations gathered playing the game. However I should state the obvious that I don't own the game itself.

### Inspiration

I wanted to see if, based on the data provided, people could estimate the probability that for a given item, adding one of it to the composter will raise the compost level. I am also just generally curious as to what applications people can come up with given the data provided. By all means take it and run with it!

This is release 2.0 of geoOttaWOW, a Minecraft world based on data sets used in geoOttawa. This version was created with Minecraft PC version 1.7.10, using software that supports version 1.7.*, with NBT version 19133. This smaller, improved version of the original release requires around 494Mb of disk space, so it will run on most common devices where Minecraft has been installed. The zip file is a folder that you will need to un-zip in your saves directory.We have given Ottawa a new spin, allowing us to have flat-sided buildings. Be creative and build the Ottawa you want. We have provided you with the base structure, and done all the heavy lifting. Now it’s up to you to fill in the blocks and add some new structures to Ottawa, or tear down the old. Build and explore Roads, Rails, Rivers, and Ottawa’s buildings in this Minecraft world. This version focuses in on the most popular areas of Ottawa in 2017 and those that will change the most in the year ahead. Starting at Ottawa City Hall users can explore the city, and create an Ottawa the way they want it to be. We have even added a few surprises, celebrating Canada 150. Enjoy your fireworks.Most popular locations

How to Load geoOttaWOW

1. Locate the Minecraft Saves directory

You will first need to locate the saved file in your Minecraft "saves" folder, as that is where downloaded game files like maps are generally stored.

What is the Minecraft "saves" folder, and how do you locate it? The folder is in your directory of Minecraft files. There are a few ways to locate it:

Using the Minecraft Launcher:

·
a. Open the Launcher, and select Edit Profile.

·
b. Click the Open Game Dir option. "Dir" is short for "Directory."

·
c. Your "saves" folder will be in the .minecraft directory.

Using Windows

·
a. Open the Start menu and select Run.

·
b. Type (without quotes) "%appdata%.minecraft\saves" and hit Enter.

Using Mac OS

·
a. Open the Finder.

·
b. Select Go and Go to Folder...

·
c. When prompted, enter (without quotes) "~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves".

Using Ubuntu Linux

·
a. Open the File Manager in your Home directory

·
b. In the top menu select GO and Open Location

·
c. Type (without quotes) “/.minecraft/saves”

2. Store the Minecraft Map Files

Having located the "saves" folder, you can copy the folder to the "saves" folder.

You can also rename your downloaded map if you like by renaming the folder.

3. Launch Your Downloaded Minecraft Map

If your downloaded map has been saved in the Minecraft "saves" folder, you should be able to select it when you play Minecraft when asked to select a World from your Worlds list.

Update Frequency: Updates should be bi-annual, but will be posted as needed.Contact: GIS Team

**Introduction **Minecraft is one of the most popular games, where players can freely explore, build, adventure, survive - do whatever they like. Among the many resources in the game, diamonds are one of the most precious and important resources. Diamonds are used to make high-durability tools and armor, and for players who choose to survive and fight, they are essential for advancing in the late game.

However, diamonds do not appear completely randomly on the map. In this project, I will take randomly generated Minecraft maps as the research object, select a 100×100 block area from each map, and observe and record the number and distribution of diamond veins.

Through this research, I hope to have a clearer understanding of the patterns and probabilities of diamond generation, and propose an interesting perspective that combines mathematics and statistics with games. I also hope that this project can show how logical systems and data analysis can be found behind everyday entertainment.

Analysis and Discussion After examining four randomly generated Minecraft maps, I found that the number of diamond ores slightly varies depending on the biome. For example, areas like Jagged Peaks and Taiga Village had a bit more diamonds. This could be related to the underground structure or terrain complexity, which might increase the chance of diamond generation.

Most of the diamonds were found between Y-levels -53 to -59, confirming the common belief that this depth range has the highest spawn rate. While Minecraft does not visually indicate diamond locations, staying within this range increases the likelihood of finding them. The data in this project aligns with the official diamond generation mechanics.

****Conclusion**** Based on the analysis of four different 100x100 areas, each with two vertical layers (20,000 blocks total), the average number of diamonds found was 32.5, resulting in an estimated diamond appearance rate of 0.1625%.

This project demonstrates how mathematical analysis can be applied to games like Minecraft. What seems like random generation actually follows hidden patterns. By combining observation and basic statistics, we can better understand and even predict where resources like diamonds are most likely to appear.
