3D geological models in Minecraft Provided by Classroom activity Description:

Download our 3D geology models as Minecraft worlds and learn how geology can influence the landscape.

We have built five worlds to allow you to explore underground and learn about the geology. Four of these worlds show small sites around the UK and use real geological data to show what the geology looks like under the surface. The fifth world shows a simplified geology of the whole of mainland Great Britain. These models show how geology can influence landscapes and land use, and can help teach geology to a younger audience.
