The Minecraft Elasticity Solver allows you to run stress analysis on almost any structure you can possibly build in Minecraft. This mod takes the infinite creative possibilities of Minecraft and combines it with the tools to teach some of the most important engineering and physics principles back in the real world.
You can download the mod HERE.
A tutorial to help you install the Minecraft Mod is HERE.
This mod has been developed by Zachariah Beck, Brandon Alpert, Kaifeng Hu, and Adrian Buganza Tepole.
The first world gives you the challenge of building a bridge across a desert road over a river oasis.
Now we journey to the End where a strangely placed cabin needs a bridge to protect them from the infinite void. Who builds a house here?
Now we journey to a rural village where a farmer needs a sturdy roof for their horse barn. The challenge is to build a truss across the top of the barn that will hold up through the rough rural weather.
This spooky challenge brings you to the nether giving the Nether Fortress a bridge to rest of the nether. Try some different bridge truss shapes and try not to burn yourself along the way.
This western world allows you to experiment with beam cross sections and compare their deflections and stresses. Lets see whos got the fasting builds in the west?
Finally, you are challenged with building a leg of the Eiffel tower. You must build a leg loaded at the top and based only within the circle. Check out the server for the full build!
