[DISCUSSION] Thought process on how to add elevationย #66

Description

Hello! GIS Specialist here! Great work on this project!!

I Just wanted to start a discussion on how to achieve elevation with the OpenStreetMap (OSM) data set in to Arnis, since I see it is on the todo list!

I believe the most suitable format would have to be Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data or some other raster input.

I'd be happy to help out with implementing this, but wanted to see what the current thought process for achieving this would be! I haven't coded anything Minecraft related before, but I work extensively with GIS data and enjoy coding in Rust!

Additional thoughts

  • I think implementing the scaling factor in the current Rust version would be helpful for this (which I saw from [FEATURE] Scale feature ย #49 that it was implemented in Python)
  • I think the process could be:
    1. Grab OSM data from Overpass API from a Bounding Box
    2. Grab DEM data for the same Bounding Box
    3. Map the elevation in Minecraft
    4. Add the OSM data to the elevation in Minecraft
