Game
Minecraft: Better than Blocks

3 months ago

Biomes and terrain generation are next.


I've implemented a brand new height map generator that makes better use of sine waves. It's as close to perlin noise as I can be bothered to make, and to be honest I much prefer the results I get from this because it's FAR more controllable and configurable.

I'm using a custom-modified pseudorandom cycle engine originally by DadOfMrLog.

Biomes I think I can implement:

  • Plains

  • Forest

  • Birch Forest

  • Meadow

  • Snowy Peaks

Next up

added sprinting and i'm gonna improve connected textures.

sorry, i cant help it, i love working on this project lmfao

I intend to, eventually, add character customisation. At the very least I'll port over the dressing room from Bedrock.

And yes, it says "Singleplayer". I may have mentioned before, but the foundation is there for multiplayer. Eventually.

Game first, tho.

that's more like it 😎

time to work on my uh.. painting skills :)

does scratch think im knocked up or something

Terrain generation is complicated.

In case you need your heart broken, there's evidence to suggest Scratch Team were seriously considering allowing blocks to placed inside of variable dropdowns.

Evidently, that fell through. Something didn't work.

I ported every single splash text, with changes here and there because some can't be included since they mention Reddit and Twitter and what have you.

However, none were removed! Just reworded or 'scratchified'.

I also added a few special ones :)

A minor update has been released for Unsandboxed. Full changelog is in the article.

Just looking at Snap! for inspiration-- wait a minute..
