Sightseer

Sightseer is a Python program that creates interactive visual graphs for data from CSV files with Minecraft data within. This program is an offshoot and specifically made for lawnguy1201/GoneAxolotl Minecraft region data miner, for Maxdog006's 25k End world download (wdl). Interactability and shareable graphs were the main priority of this program. Also, the graphs had to be able to be placed on websites with little hassle causing us to focus on making the graphs .HTML files.

We first considered making this program in Matlab, but the Matlab file share system is atrocious, so we made the program in Python, using mainly the Plotly API and Matplotlib API.

Sightseer was made over the course of 1 1/2 months, with multiple iterations. I spent a lot of time making this program as optimized as possible. For example, the previous iteration would create graphs about 780k KB in size with larger datasets, and with this current iteration, it's now creating about 5K KB with the same large dataset.

We ran into many problems and challenges throughout the development of the program, one of which was making the graphs as optimized as possible. The main issue we ran into was the Biomes.py class not working properly. We were using sqlite to handle the 300Gb CSV file of all biome info. However, we ran into limitations of Plotly at that point with how we were creating graphs with millions of data points that needed to be shown.

You will need basic coding knowledge to use this program

How to Use

• Make sure you have all dependencies
• Add your csv files into your directory
• Change the the path in main
• Comment in the data you would like to use i.e. banner data, signs data (Change the file name to what ever the csv name is)
• Go through the classes and change the name of the graphs or any small details you would like to change

dependencies

• Python 3.10.0
• Any ide of your choice (made in pycharm)
• Need to download Matplotlib, Plotly, Pandas, datashader, sqlite3 or
