In this data you can see hundreds of thousands of players being tracked at 1-second intervals. Tens of thousands of bases were downloaded, totaling over ten billion logged block events. It's a fascinating slice of life, essentially a year of history of thousands of anarchy Minecraft bases, updated at 15 minute intervals. Here's an example of a timelapse made from that data, for one such base. Here's another and another and another.

The format is human-readable SQL dumps, compressed using gzip. The schema can be found here.

You can set your torrent client to download individual files if you like. For example if just want to make your own overworld heatmaps, you can only download hits_overworld_heatmap.sql.gz, which is less than 500 megabytes.

The two enormous files are hits.sql.gz which is every hit we collected (billions), and blocks.sql.gz which is every block the server told us about (over ten billion).

Explanation of each file:

• april_fools_troll_blocks_backup.sql.gz Blocks data collected on the April 1 temp map

• block_states.sql.gz Lookup table for what each block state ID number means
• blocks.sql.gz Every block that we got from the server
• dbscan.sql.gz The clustering of chunks into bases
• dimensions.sql.gz Dimensions
• highway_stats.sql.gz A temporary table for seeing which highways were most active
• hits.sql.gz Every hit we collected, meaning that we observed a particular chunk to be loaded at a particular time
• hits_grouped.sql.gz Hits grouped by coordinate and by month
• hits_nether_heatmap.sql.gz Coordinate and total number of hits, in the nether
• hits_overworld_heatmap.sql.gz Coordinate and total number of hits, in the overworld
• player_sessions.sql.gz Log in and log out timestamps for players
• players.sql.gz Players
