Considering the Minecraft (unmodded) resolution (that is, its lack of it), I cannot help but to look at this as a giant wasted effort... and I am writing this as someone who has seen some amazing looking creations. But, while it might be easier to do, one meter is just too large for any decent experience with a more personal "face-to-block" virtual street walk.

Having it built out of 20-centimeter sided blocks (with 1 meter as a starting option, and maybe even 10 cm for high-detail) would make it wastly more useful. For example, those could be useful for OpenStreetMap, a project everyone benefits of. Meanwhile, this will likely just disappear and just be written about as a footnote somewhere. Of course, the whole issue could be sidetracked if other primitives (with unconstrained sizes) were allowed/used.

This lack of detail in construction was always my main issue with Minecraft, and its large blockiness usually goes so far as to induce/exacerbate my motion sickness.

Speaking of OSM, they are currently taking the very easy-to-produce and simplistic parametric approximation approach through surveys, mainly via the StreetComplete app ("How many floors does this building have?", "Shape of the roof", etc.).

Also, and I really am compelled to say this, StreetComplete is one of the most functional and most logical complex android apps I have ever encountered. It really shows it is built by the users, for the users.
