+# common-craft
+
+**common-craft** is a dataset of *Minecraft* survival gameplay videos curated for research on world modeling.
+It can be combined with scalable repositories such as [Jasmine](github.com/p-doom/jasmine/).
+
+## Overview
+
+- **Total duration:** ~5,000 hours  
+- **Content type:** Survival-mode *Minecraft* Let's Plays  
+- **Source:** YouTube videos and playlists (handpicked)  
+- **Format:** Raw videos (.mp4 and .webm) at a resolution of 640x360 and 30 FPS along with full metadata
+
+
+## Structure
+
+```bash
+common-craft/
+├── <playlist_id>/
+│   ├── metadata.json
+│   ├── <video_id>.mp4
+│   └── ...
+├── single_videos/
+│   ├── <video_id>.mp4
+│   └── ...
+└── README.md
+```
+
+## Data Selection
+
+Videos were manually picked to ensure they are genuine *survival mode* Let's Plays (no creative mode showcases, minecraft-like games, or highlight reels).  
+Preference was given to playlists to capture coherent sequences (e.g., early game → exploration → advanced builds).
+
+## Processing and Usage
+
+**common-craft** provides directly scraped videos in their raw form.  
+For world modeling or related tasks, we recommend filtering and preprocessing before training models.
+
+For guidance on filtering such gameplay data, see the **VPT** paper (Baker et al., 2022).  
+We also provide a minimal [data labeling tool](https://github.com/p-doom/vid-tag) and a [preprocessing script](https://github.com/p-doom/jasmine/blob/main/data/jasmine_data/video_to_array_records.py) for efficient video-to-array conversion.
