Not sure if you have chunk lods but if you do the generation for further locations will load faster and the game will run smoother, additionally backface culling on most things will help run faster and nanite with unreal engine only loads the triangles on screen further making the game faster with all these modifications you should be able to see very very far with little to no issues minecraft generation is made within the limits of what looks nice within visible distance but you could make a much grander more realistic generation using these to help implement them

How would you plan on handling lighting when it comes to floating islands? It seems like once you update the lighting for a large floating structure, It'll create unsightly shadows on the world below as the light propagates downwards.

theres people already talking about space dimention, so i'll beyond. if you did up why not make dimensions under the world, like abyss layers, the second cave layer (you already have first cave layer) could be a bit colder version of the first layer with ice but with little biodiversity and the problems start with a little curse layer down called slowness the third cave layer is a boreal forest underground and still cold biome, but is a little hotter, the loot is good, and full of life made for that ambient, having light stones as natural light source, the second curse layerdown is hunger what can be cured temporally eating the powder of light stone. the fourth layer is now a jungle just very similar the layer above, the two are connected naturally, and the curse layerdown here is to half your Hp. the fith layer is lava(lava on real life is wax viscosity) filled place, with a crazy ambient and only monsters exist here very confusing to say, but have Da loot, and the curse layerdown is Hunger I and Eyes allucinations(will see eyes flickering on the screen) the sixith layer is The Nether 1.16 with completly diferent biomes and more magma(magma is honey viscosity) pouring place, the curse layerdown mining fadige and blurred I (your vision is blurred permanently layer down you need glasses) and the last layer is The void, floating lands what have the best loot of the game and the last curse is hardcore (you have ONE life on this layer, even on creative mode) and Void curse (a fog what don't let see better, even with blurred I is worse)

You should put all the minecraft clone videos in a dedicated playlist so it's easier for people to follow the series!

But i like the noodly cavey like islands

BIOMES MOBS AND MODABILITY

Gotta love the jdh-style music and thumbnail style! good luck on your project man

Maybe the higher you go, like when you start reaching the space layer, you'll see astroids, have less Gravity, you have to worry about less to no oxygen, maybe temperature if you wanna go all in, then finally you reach the point of 0g and you have to craft equipment to help navigate. Lots of content ideas you'll be able to add. Very good work so far dude! Hope to see more!

384, not 320.

ushort = 65,000 for indexing || short = -32000 32000

Loving these Dev logs, maybe you could try adding biomes next

I'm glad that I waited to catch up to make some suggestions. As I understand it, you basically have a 3D chunk structure, meaning they're different to Minecraft's implementation. Also meaning, you have an easier time applying vertical biomes. And it's also the case that you don't actually need different dimensions, except for those like the End which are a completely different plane of existance. But for a "nether/aether" type dimensions, you can just travel to them physically. Of course, portals are useful for fast travel, but regardless. So, my suggestion was: 3D biomes. Something that Minecraft has to hack in with if lower than y height do this. Also, the way you're handling depth, by ramping up the difficulty the lower you go, actually goes better with a tool progression system than what the big M had for years.

the clone is improved day by day, you are great. Alongside the clone, could you be thinking of making a tutorial about Minecraft modding or, at least, an explanation about how mods work like what behind schedule is?

Things I think should be added: Saving server IP's so it's easier to connect to things frequently A controllable character rather than just a ghost The ability to build with other materials Trees (I think it would be cool if you found a tree building algorithm rather than using premade assets) Explosives Creatures Other stuff if you feel like it IDK.

This is amazing. Also do you use vim? I'm trying to get used to it but man it's so difficult

Actually, Minecraft also has cubic chunks (16x16x16), but forbidden reason you can’t stack them infinitely

ok i would love to play this!

you should totally keep the caves infinite! i think it would be cool to see a ton of things mojang could've done but didn't added to this project. also, i think having big open caves would be cool. maybe don't make them to common, but i think it's boring to have small spaghetti caves everywhere.

could be cool if you added some sort of redstone (but creatively different) system that makes it possible for people to make flying machines to reach sky islands or anything else you might want to generate up there more easily

0:38 - technically, Minecraft chunks are 16x16x16 they just have an overall y-height of 320 by default. You can change that by changing some world config but there is still a limit you can't just remove it.

"Hello! I'm impressed with your implementation of infinite world height - it's an amazing feature. This opens up interesting possibilities for vertical dimension placement. For instance, you could create a Nether-like dimension deep underground instead of having it as a separate dimension. This approach would integrate different realms seamlessly within the same vertical space, similar to how you implemented the Sky Islands."

You have some problems with infinite height gen The items that you thrown down will not be deleted

I really like the concept ! But Idk if this is planned but maybe later and I said maybe, you should add some vine going toward the ground at the down side of the floating island that would look great. Also (I'm never stopping x)) maybe you should smooth up a little bit the movement at the moment they feel like they are a little bit to rough. I'm loving to see this series from time to time so... Continue like that ^^

do you have source code download to the public?

This is awesome

jdh but he actually posts

Terraria where if you go high enough, you enter low gravity into space.

that's so great ! I love this :)

Awesome stuff! definitely subscribes! btw there is a typo on your website on the homepage just letting you know

What a great content and project! Love it!

❤️

this looks sick but the main menu needs a little bit more work on, here's some ideas: i think it would be cool if the background was a 2d noise background that slowly moves to the left/right. (also you should make it bigger and add stone to it) the buttons look okay but when you hover over it, the size of the button changes and it looks kind of weird. the font is fine but its not really original, you probably didn't have time to find a good font so i understand when you used this font. ok thats all my ideas but those are just suggestions so you dont have to add it! its your game not mine so do whatever you want with this comment. to be honest i cant wait to play this game!

I can't wait for at some point down the line when this becomes a proper alpha release for people to try playtesting and push it to the limits

I don't think it's too great for the caves to be completely infinite, but there should be enough height for things you intend to do. If the height of caves were to stay infinite, a player might not be able to empty a portion of the world.

Also, since there is no build limit.. What if you added Space to your Minecraft Clone?

I would say, depending on how large you want to make this into: Caves going deep, deep underground, to a point where it practically feels infinite. At some point the blocks will be hotter as you get deeper and closer to the mantle, and eventually turn into magma blocks, impossible to mine without some super heat-resistant tools and suits. That would likely be thousands of blocks deep. Another thing, the deeper you go, the harder the stone becomes. Near the surface you're likely to see sandstone, limestone etc., but going deeper you get to harder rocks like granite and basalt. Further down (just chucking names of some rocks found deep down) e.g. granulite in lower crust and peridotite near the mantle (google is my friend, but you get the idea). For curiosity, how vast are you planning on making this voxel game into? (I just found this channel, so haven't really watched anything else yet)

We now have infinite build height in the game. Everyone can build whatever they want. Next video we'll talk about lighting and optimization. Enjoy. 😁

I love the gloomy aesthetic, hope it carries on to the final build!
