MyCraft

A Minecraft clone made for fun in Java using OpenGL.

Controls

• WASD to move
• Space to fly up
• L-Shift to fly down
• t to see the wireframe
• Escape to toggle/untoggle the cursor

Libraries Used

• LWJGL3 for graphics rendering
• JOML for maths
• ImGui Java for the GUI
  • Used this repository as reference
• FastNoiseLite for world generation

TODO

• Optimize loading new chunks
  • Optimize the loop for the blocks or whatever
  • For loading new chunks, you know that the rest of the blocks above the noiseYThreshold will be air so no need for perlin
• Implement a tick system to load the chunks progressively
  • 20 ticks/sec, or 1 tick/0.05 sec
  • Load the chunks at the tick rate
• AABB
  • What happens if the player is between chunks? I believe it shouldn't matter
• Block highlight
• Instanced rendering
  • Have only 1-2 draw calls instead of multiple thousand
  • source

BUG

• There are some magical areas where the chunks are not being meshed nor are they being properly chosen for the raycast
