As a physics student, it can be difficult to not think of things as point particles - even players engaging in minecraft minigame matches on the Overcast Network.

So as a Saturday afternoon project, I made a simple client mod that allows you to write all of the player positions on the current world to a CSV file. Then, using  Mathematica, I processed the data and made some simple visualizations:

This shows the player positions, colored by team.  This match takes place on a map called Warlock (one of my favorites), and the goal is to be the first team to break the other team's monument (which is made out of two pieces of obsidian).  Red team won this match, and you can see a red guy sneaking near the blue's monument (probably underground) in the bottom left for a few minutes before finally breaking it.

See more visualizations here (I don't want to lag up the page with gifs), and view the source code here.
