Looks awesome! You're getting a bit of peter-panning (8:14, where the shadows aren't touching the objects). This could be from a constant bias that you may have added to fix shadow acne, but for the future it's much better to have an adaptive bias. Look up slope-scale depth bias if you have the time. Nice work mate, love the vids!
That’s actually due to depth map resolution :) I should have cranked it up to 8192x8192 for the shots in the video - but IIRC there is already slope-scale depth biasing in the lighting shader!
Jdh I really hope you end up doing a crash course lesson on game engine concepts and implementations some day. I noticed that you skim over many details for the sake of staying on topic, but I'm sure that many other people along with myself would also appreciate a video that gets into the nitty gritty. Amazing work in this video as usual, you've got me hooked on to your channel!
I think it may be somewhere in the blur / bloom / composite section - "screen-space ambient occlusion" at 8:36, there is a region of brighter shadow along the bottom edge of the objects. Maybe you've addressed this but it looks like a flaw as is. Likely you've improved on it already. I hate to nitpick as this work is far beyond my capability and I'm truly impressed.

@@zombie_pigdragon Rly ? Look at Tantan he's using rust (bevy) for some of his projects and it seems like it's working. I have never heard someone complain about rust being used in a game. Like the language a game is done in shouldn't really matter. The only thing that matters is if it's a good game or not.
@@sutsuj6437 Of course it's possible- I've been keeping an eye on it, though I left that out of my first comment. Right now, I'd even argue that if you're willing to put in work at a similar level to this video, everything is available, sans examples. But those examples are a key part- with finished products comes learning tools, and features and ergonomics. The Rust gamedev scene doesn't have that yet, and it'll be years before it can catch up to C++. I'm sure it's possible today (and in fact, I hope someone will) to recreate this video with wgpu and patience, but it'll still show more rough edges than C++ for a while longer.
when this engine is pretty finished, it'd be cool to see an in depth explanation of the math and how everything is organized and works together kinda like you did with the jdh-8
ive written a comment like this before on one of your previous videos (obviously previous) and i still stand to it: i love every single video you upload since i not only very much enjoy every computer science-ish content you upload but i also enjoy the way you make the videos and you yourself, still i would love to see the c minecraft version becoming bigger, maybe becoming a bigger community project the more it grows and attention it gets, with some real gameplay and multiplayer, i just love the idea of a super fast running c-made minecraft clone made entierly by you and your community, please dont let this die hahaha
Great work, I enjoyed every frame of the timelapse of the coding process. Seems the shadow a bit off and the ambient ocullusion was wrong but meh the shadow was sick.
Yeah it's a bit odd I also think it must give a special unique charming vibe to the game after some time though (think of all of Minecraft's quirks that we just got to enjoy haha)
Great to see you come to the C++ side of the force. We fear and love C++. But seriously, with concepts, modules and coroutines in C++20, it's a whole other language now. It's modern-modern C++.
The features in C++20 can be pretty amazing, but it's a shame that they're still crudely bolted on top of the "old" C++ which was crudely bolted on top of C. The features might be "modern" (whatever that means), but C++ is not modern and never will be unless the entire world suddenly starts writing C++20 overnight and all known and maintained code magically transforms as well. Tons of professional C++ developers still write C++ like it's 1998. And tons of actively maintained code is still written in that style as well. And onboarding devs to this new style is not easy either, as it's hard to deny that with all those cool features there has also been an explosion in complexity in an already complex language.
@@robinmattheussen2395 I agree 100%. That's why I started avoiding working with C++. It's my favorite language if I'm working alone or with a team where everyone thinks like me. But I've been in teams where one guy wants to write C, another guy wants to slap virtual everywhere and a third guy is randomly mashing the keyboard but somehow it compiles and no one can refactor it now.

I can watch people recreate minecraft from scratch for years. There's something so satisfying about listening to what goes into and also setting up your own algorithm for interpreting this invisible voxel data into a mesh generated representation I'd bet money you could make a game out of that alone. And if I knew more coding than just looping through arrays I'd make one
Elephant in the room - what's the bright line next to each cube before the shadow starts? You mention ambient occlusion, too, so I would have assumed "extra dark" in those spots. Is that a bug or an engine limitation? @8:05 ish. It's clearly visible everywhere shadows are shown.
I suppose he just came up with a quick solution by blurring all of the edges of the shadows to a lighter color, hence a bright line at the start of the shadow right next to the cube.
It is an artifact/bug from the shadows. To fix it JDH just needs to render everything front and back without any backface culling when creating the shadows maps. There is a full explanation in the comments of the learnopengl article mentioned in the video.
Yes! I remember being amazed when you first uploaded the original, IIRC I watched it about a week after it came out. And now you've built an OS, a computer, and now you have re-done it, even better! Great job!
Okay what the hell is up with people hating on c#? Yes it is MS developed but the whole thing is open source (compiler, runtime, libraries etc.) It is cross platform and with ahead of time compilation it has really good speed. So why the hate? I'm genuinely curious.
I wouldn't say I hate it (I used to do a lot of projects with Unity) but for my specific use case it just does the job worse than other languages. If you want a garbage collected language take Go, if you want an easy to use take Python, if you want speed C++ or Rust, etc
Eh, I don't even hate it - I've used it at a few jobs full time even. My primary gripe is actually the same as C++: the language feels really bloated. Especially comparing with something like Java, it feels like (imo) there's a lot more you need to keep in your head while you're using it.
@@achille0072 "know" is a really strong word for any language 😄 I'm familiar with a lot of different ones (like touched on/messed around with/done projects in more than I would care to list or could probably remember) but most comfortable in Java and C
Nice work! As a C++ developer by trade, what I like about Rust is pretty similar to what brought you to C++ from C; Not having to fumble around with compiler macros, much nicer type definitions, straightforward value formatting etc. It also removes a lot of boilerplate code, provides sensible defaults, and its exception handling is much less fiddly.
notch: Lets make minecraft in lwjgl jdh: imagine not doing this on your own custom built computer with a custom built graphics card with your own custom operating system using your own programming language with your own graphics library... what a newby
Just tweak the AO a bit please, you could even render it at half the resolution but you absolutelly need to make it smoother and way less visible, it's meant to be a subtle effect.
It's odd, i have an internal war with myself on which lang i like more Odin or C#, cause on one hand i hate everything about the way C# handles memory, and it's OOP nature. It's extremely nice to type, and really costumizeable.. Also loving it in Unity since they compile away to machine code... And it's able to do manual memory management there as well.. That said, I'm also a really big fan of Odin, cause of it's data oriented nature, and simplicity, something amazing about the only loop being a for, and their consistentcy is godly, like one concept in one place means the same in another context and it's wild! Their approach to memory allocation is also quite awesome!
My biggest issue is just language bloat tbh - if you're going to work in that sort of world of managed code, Java is at least a lot easier to keep in your head than C# I think. The language just feels like a bit more of a mess imo
@@tommy4808 I do actually like Java a lot, it's probably the language I'm the most familiar with out of any - and 99.99999% of the time the garbage collector is fine - but for this project it comes down to portability (meaning not Java ☹), performance, and ease of adoption (meaning not C#) for me
One thing in lighting and graphics which you omitted was that lighting is calculated backwards. You have a light, then you cast a ray to that light and follow it till it finally reaching the light.
@@SimonBuchanNz Do they though? I thought the typical raytracing method is to trace a ray from each pixel of the camera (presumably from the near plane) because otherwise the vast majority of the light rays never hit the camera and are wasted effort.
@@clonkex it's a bit messier than that, since you need to take lots of samples per pixel per bounce, and lots of bounces per sample to get a convincing image, so the naive, brute force approach lots of offline renderers use isn't feasible. Different RT GI implementations have different specifics for working around this, but they all generally amount to persisting the amount of light in the world at each point and then iterating on bouncing it around, which has the effect of flowing the light from the source around the scene before it reaches the camera. That said, the actual form of the persisted world lighting is very heavily camera influenced (to the point of being screen space for Q2RTX), so yeah, not a nice clean answer. RT shadows might be pretty much tracing in reverse, but I don't know if I quite count a single bounce as having any direction?
FWIW, it is possible to do namespaces in C. It's not a built-in language feature, but with C99 and the inline keyword, it's possible to do link-time mangling and compile-time demangling through the use of definition macros and import macros. In practice, it's actually not that bad. You get the same benefits of C++ style namespaces, namely, no compile-time or link-time name clashes of publicly defined functions, types, and globals.
Very nice video! I really appreciate you sharing something non-trivial you've made with bgfx. Not very common on the UA-cams. It makes me chuckle (in a good way) to see those Rust-like numeric typedefs and Result in there. After moving to C++17, I sorely missed designated initializers, but liked that I could use some C++-specific features (e.g. templates, namespaces) and ignore the rest.
"Flame wars will boost engagement anyway." Truly, a man of inimitable wisdom. (I too have a soft spot for C++, despite being a huge Rust shill. It makes me wanna tear my hair out sometimes, but I did a lot of robotics stuff with it in high school.)
Dude you should just make an entire series and finish the major parts of the game before all the content and stuff just to style on Mojang, that’ll be hilarious. Amazing progress tho, looks so much better than the real game already
I'm taking a C++ class this semester, so I'm excited to watch this video. I'll write off watching this video as studying during the weekend. And even if I couldn't, I'd probably watch this anyways. ;D
I know this video is more of a technical exercise, but you generally wouldn't use soft shadows for sunlight. This is because the sun is far enough away that it effectively acts as a single point casting rays, making shadows have very hard outlines. Soft shadows are instead used when lighting indoor scenes where the volume of the light source causes objects to be lit from multiple angles by the same light, creating points which are only lit by a portion of the light. Larger lights like fluorescent bar lights make the softest shadows (by design), while smaller bulbs are somewhere in between.
I would have used C ++ too since technically it is C but OOP and General Purpose (while C was created to make operating systems), also because many of the other languages mentioned tend to be a lot slower since they have a Garbage Collector. The the only other suitable language would be Rust which is Memory Safe but does not have a Garbage Collector! Now I don't have time to explain it so you will have to look for some article or tutorial, I recommend a great video: Rust in 100 Seconds, precise and clean. Edit: Also, Minecraft Bedrock Edition (the edition for consoles) is made in c++
C is general purpose. It was created so the entire Unix system didn’t have to be implemented in assembly. It was designed to make kernels, compilers, text editors, etc. for Unix.
@@mastcharub7177 And C was designed to, not only write programs that run on top of the Unix operating system like text editors and compilers, but also write things like kernels which are included in the operating system itself, so everything didn't have to be implemented in assembly. This is because C was designed to be a replacement for assembly, and since assembly was used for everything like writing both the OS and all the applications that run on the OS, it means C was designed to be used for everything. This makes C general purpose.
In my Opinion the best language is Swift: -Really new and powerful -No external 3rd party stuff needed -fastest language in the world -easy to learn Only downside its only for Apple
@ yeah thats true, which is why i switched over to C, mixed with Objective-C so i can develop in a cross platform language and access all lower level Mac API's such as Cocoa and Metal

It's odd, i have an internal war with myself on which lang i like more Odin or C#, cause on one hand i hate everything about the way C# handles memory, and it's OOP nature. It's extremely nice to type, and really costumizeable.. Also loving it in Unity since they compile away to machine code... And it's able to do manual memory management there as well.. That said, I'm also a really big fan of Odin, cause of it's data oriented nature, and simplicity, something amazing about the only loop being a for, and their consistentcy is godly, like one concept in one place means the same in another context and it's wild! Their approach to memory allocation is also quite awesome!
C# has unsafe blocks. You don't have to let the CLR do everything if you don't want to.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino correct, but not as open as using Unity Burst for C# :3 - tho new core 6 comes close!
Wow, this reminds me of old minecraft. (I didn’t exactly play around the time, but I’ve been doing some reviewing)
What's your problem with C#? Similar syntax to java, speed is pretty much on par, but it seems like it has nicer features, and more flexibility.
He said he didn’t like Java, and c# has a garbage collector which ig he doesnt like
My biggest issue is just language bloat tbh - if you're going to work in that sort of world of managed code, Java is at least a lot easier to keep in your head than C# I think. The language just feels like a bit more of a mess imo
@@tommy4808 I do actually like Java a lot, it's probably the language I'm the most familiar with out of any - and 99.99999% of the time the garbage collector is fine - but for this project it comes down to portability (meaning not Java ☹), performance, and ease of adoption (meaning not C#) for me
@@jdh What do you mean by bloat? Do you have some examples?
@@jdh epic
One thing in lighting and graphics which you omitted was that lighting is calculated backwards.
You have a light, then you cast a ray to that light and follow it till it finally reaching the light.
That's not really what is happening here, shadow mapping is wildly different from any sort of ray tracing.
Also, not even true with most real time ray tracing. Those calculate each "bounce" forward from the light.
@@SimonBuchanNz Do they though? I thought the typical raytracing method is to trace a ray from each pixel of the camera (presumably from the near plane) because otherwise the vast majority of the light rays never hit the camera and are wasted effort.
@@clonkex it's a bit messier than that, since you need to take lots of samples per pixel per bounce, and lots of bounces per sample to get a convincing image, so the naive, brute force approach lots of offline renderers use isn't feasible. Different RT GI implementations have different specifics for working around this, but they all generally amount to persisting the amount of light in the world at each point and then iterating on bouncing it around, which has the effect of flowing the light from the source around the scene before it reaches the camera.
That said, the actual form of the persisted world lighting is very heavily camera influenced (to the point of being screen space for Q2RTX), so yeah, not a nice clean answer.
RT shadows might be pretty much tracing in reverse, but I don't know if I quite count a single bounce as having any direction?
omg this is what I needed right now. Thanks man. You're a GENIUS!
Gosh I love this, well put together and everything! Great work :3
modern C++ is sick
Thanks, it is so much more interesting to hear about the engine mechanics than whatever gameplay.
i am very happy to see you back to the Chanel i really like your videos keep up the good work
I don't know what your talking about but your voice is relaxing. Pls don't stop making videos
Idea: you should try to implement redstone into it
that would be sick
FWIW, it is possible to do namespaces in C. It's not a built-in language feature, but with C99 and the inline keyword, it's possible to do link-time mangling and compile-time demangling through the use of definition macros and import macros. In practice, it's actually not that bad. You get the same benefits of C++ style namespaces, namely, no compile-time or link-time name clashes of publicly defined functions, types, and globals.
C++ is one of the fastest programming languages out there so it’s rad
Very nice video! I really appreciate you sharing something non-trivial you've made with bgfx. Not very common on the UA-cams. It makes me chuckle (in a good way) to see those Rust-like numeric typedefs and Result in there.
After moving to C++17, I sorely missed designated initializers, but liked that I could use some C++-specific features (e.g. templates, namespaces) and ignore the rest.
Me trying to render a simple cube in opengl: 😭😭😭😭 what am I doing in life??
Same but with a triangle instead. Literally the first thing you do in opengl tutorials.
Try Vulkan mate. 1000× more debuggable.
@@shambhav9534 I believe the boilerplate though will be intimidating for beginners. That's why it's always recommended to start with opengl.
@@syedahkam7164 I don't think beginners who can't code a thousand line boilerplate should even start doing graphics.
@@shambhav9534 Thats reasonable
You are starting to scare me with your abilities, jdh.
"C++ isn't memory safe"
jdh: "But you see... much like classes, garbage collectors, and other stuff you don't need, you don't NEED memory safety."
this is actually the best mineclone i've ever seen
i do wish there were more interesting blocks like stairs though
Awesome work! Look forward to seeing what you do with it :)
I can make the blocks show up but getting them textured, and rendering with lighting and collisions is hard as hell for me. Good job, jdh.
5:53 OH GOD GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD NO
I can't believe he don't use Morse code. I'm unsubscribe
honestly I was a bit distracted and I kinda forgot it wasn't minecraft when you were building the house, job very well done
Nah, Cpp is my favorite language
same it's both low-level and high-level on the same time, depending on how you want to use it

Truly, a man of inimitable wisdom.
(I too have a soft spot for C++, despite being a huge Rust shill. It makes me wanna tear my hair out sometimes, but I did a lot of robotics stuff with it in high school.)
As a Rust fanboy, I appreciate the friendly Rust hate. 👍

How do you find a Rust dev? Pretty easy, they’ll tell you.
jdh in 2 years: Ok so maybe OOP isn't so bad so now I'll make Minecraft again but in C#
Hi
HI
Hello first comment!
Dude you should just make an entire series and finish the major parts of the game before all the content and stuff just to style on Mojang, that’ll be hilarious. Amazing progress tho, looks so much better than the real game already
I'm taking a C++ class this semester, so I'm excited to watch this video. I'll write off watching this video as studying during the weekend. And even if I couldn't, I'd probably watch this anyways. ;D
What a calm video to watch... thank you very much for producing this content.
Jdh: Makes minecraft twice in C and C++
Me: Struggling to make a tetris board render in C#
that deferred shading i feel really made this clone look a Lot like minecraft, more so than any other clones ive seen
I really wanna see someone recreate Minecraft with 100% accuracy. Something that could fool someone into thinking its not a remake.
I know this video is more of a technical exercise, but you generally wouldn't use soft shadows for sunlight. This is because the sun is far enough away that it effectively acts as a single point casting rays, making shadows have very hard outlines. Soft shadows are instead used when lighting indoor scenes where the volume of the light source causes objects to be lit from multiple angles by the same light, creating points which are only lit by a portion of the light. Larger lights like fluorescent bar lights make the softest shadows (by design), while smaller bulbs are somewhere in between.

Dude! You should make a good in-depth coding tutorial! You make some of the best stuff I've seen with out an engine!
I am programming my own voxel engine in Rust. There is an insane Vulkan powered engine in Rust called Bevy.

how do you the hidden surface culling in C++? i've been using cubes built from 6 planes and can't figure it out.
JDH: "Mom can I have Minecraft?"
Mom: "No."
JDH: "Fine, I'll do it my self."
Omg you dont know how long i have been waiting for this awesome 🙌🏻
Nah that’s not enough, you got physically flip the bits and make Minecraft
I would have used C ++ too since technically it is C but OOP and General Purpose (while C was created to make operating systems), also because many of the other languages mentioned tend to be a lot slower since they have a Garbage Collector.
The the only other suitable language would be Rust which is Memory Safe but does not have a Garbage Collector!
Now I don't have time to explain it so you will have to look for some article or tutorial, I recommend a great video: Rust in 100 Seconds, precise and clean.
Edit: Also, Minecraft Bedrock Edition (the edition for consoles) is made in c++
C is general purpose. It was created so the entire Unix system didn’t have to be implemented in assembly. It was designed to make kernels, compilers, text editors, etc. for Unix.
@@qvindicator yes, Unix is an operating system (my fault i didnt explain)
@@mastcharub7177 And C was designed to, not only write programs that run on top of the Unix operating system like text editors and compilers, but also write things like kernels which are included in the operating system itself, so everything didn't have to be implemented in assembly.
This is because C was designed to be a replacement for assembly, and since assembly was used for everything like writing both the OS and all the applications that run on the OS, it means C was designed to be used for everything. This makes C general purpose.
@@mastcharub7177 The exact same uses for C++ are also the exact same uses for C. So if C isn't general purpose to you, C++ shouldn't be either.
@@qvindicator your speech makes sense man, i guess i will have to go back to my books on C and C++ ...
Him:i just made some Simple lines of code
Also Him: *Codes the whole assembler*
I'm curious, what don't you like so much about C#?
"[... same BASIC technique..] There is NOTHING basic about this. You are the epitome of humble.

In my Opinion the best language is Swift:
-Really new and powerful
-No external 3rd party stuff needed
-fastest language in the world
-easy to learn
Only downside its only for Apple
That seems like a pretty massive downside
@ yeah thats true, which is why i switched over to C, mixed with Objective-C so i can develop in a cross platform language and access all lower level Mac API's such as Cocoa and Metal
