Researchers have developed a Minecraft modification that uses artificial intelligence to help players improve their in-game architecture skills. Minecraft is a popular 3D video game where players build and navigate their own digital environments. The modification will tell players whether their buildings fit into certain architectural styles and offer ideas for how the structures could be improved. "One of the things that's important to learn when you're a kid and throughout life is creativity, abstraction--how to envision what you want and then create it," says senior author Ross Knepper, assistant professor of computer science at Cornell University.
