Actually man, this CPU is still rocking as it was the second best for its plattform and DDR3, after the i7-5690X, which was way more expensive. You actually have a really good old CPU under your hood, still using the same - still playing ultra with a gtx 1070 on FHD in every game until 2019. Yes, there is better - but this is definitly not a low-performance CPU. CPU those days have doubled in performance since this day, but that is 7 iterations of CPU design and performance doubling is actually not that much after all those years.
If he said, and I'm Morgan Freeman. I would 100% believed it. One guy casually talks and remakes a world majority of gamers are living in all ways better with math and lifelike science. Which result is better then what an esembled team from world biggest cooperation can accomplish. yeah, he is a real God
I think what Nathan Franke is going crazy about is the fact that the clouds are cuboids (not cubes), the sun is a square (a special case of a quad) and the crosshair is 2 rectangles or 2 cuboids (not cubes). Mathematically it is incorrect to call a shape a cube unless it is convex, only has right angles, and all side lengths are equal. In certein regional dialects it is common to call anything with right angles a cube, but for most of the world, including non-native english speakers, it just sounds utterly insane.
@@Tumbolisu Fair points, but my original comment was poking fun at Simon using 3d shapes for things that should be flat. For the record, i think the sun and clouds make sense, but for the cross hair i think it would be much better to render it directly to the screen using primitive 2d shapes, making it much more versatile.
@@Tumbolisu None of the things in this video are cubes due to the fact that cubes are 3 dimensional by definition. All we can see is a 2d abstraction of the concept of a cube.
About the 4096 height limit thing. 320 is the default height limit, but the game lets you actually change it in the worlds' config, up to 4064 (according to the wiki, that's the limit. It might be a typo and actually be 4096, idk).
4:48 - Look at the madman programming in GLSL in a string within js code, without IntelliSense, linting, auto-formating, or highlighting. like it was nothing.
There’s really no other way to do it. If he put it into a different file, he would have to load it, and JavaScript loads files asynchronously which could make things a lot harder.
@@user-dh8oi2mk4f I also use glsl for my shaders, and instead of writing them in the code i just have another txt file. The code then converts that into a string and loads it up. Still, i need to code all of it on intuition without any IDE support
Awesome! I started making a minecraft clone in JS a few weeks ago using vanilla webgl 2. Definitely not an easy task. My main challenge was storing the chunks in a way that they can be accessed as quickly as possible and also be saved as in a file that can be loaded again.
Yeah if I was to follow up, that's one area I'd like to improve. Storing a chunk right now is memory intensive, but there's a lot of low-hanging fruit on the table in terms of improving both gpu and cpu memory layout.
"This Old Tony", but it's game development, coding, javascript... just found your channel in my recommendations... well, every now and then youtube seems to drop a diamond.
Wow! Well done Simon! I started making a tutorial on how to code minecraft, inspired by your previous minecraft video, and now, you just dropped a thousand more ideas! Thanks a lot! As usual, brilliant video!
This video is fantastic! I wish you would do a playlist, a sort of a three.js tutorial while progressing through different topics creating Minecraft clone as the final result. The work you do here is amazing. It's a bit difficult for me to follow though. I would love to see a series where things are broken down a bit more. That would be awesome!
Idea for EVEN EVEN BETTER Minecraft: Make hierarchically subdivisible blocks, i.e. every block can be divided into a 3x3x3 subblocks which you can then shape. Make it go down several levels of hierarchy. Why: Can make more complex shapes. Can make more complex logic (like try to make a CPU out of minecraft boolean blocks).
I have an even hackier version of instancing for my Babylon.js Voxel game prototype: Since I needed to know how transparent textures looked when rendered properly, the simple instancing didn't work, as it produced way to many faces. But you can pre-create one instance per face combination(64 possible face combinations), and cull faces that way.
Hey, do you think you could start breaking these kind of projects up into multiple videos / a playlist? I love seeing this stuff come together and would definitely binge a 60-video playlist watching you develop each component! Thanks for what you do!
The generation is really cool on this one, the tree gen and mountains, I think that if you continue this, try working on water physics like Minecraft, where you can make gravity very weak and allow the player to swim up, and maybe you can add some kind of underwater shader. Good work man!
@@simondev758 I might try to make a Minecraft clone in the future, if I do, I am going to add a lot of other features like water physics, maybe farming, hopefully crafting recipes. But I am most comfortable using unity, so that's where I would make it.
The procedurally generated trees are such a cool idea to implement in a minecraft-style game. Sadly they are too big for my taste (when speaking of actually playing in a minecraft world like this) and its a shame that its next to impossible to have them at a scale that is more minecraft-ish. They still look pretty awesome tho! Really cool video and insights!
I'd recommend switching out the perlin noise for voronoi noise. older versions of minecraft used voronoi and many people prefer minecrafts old world generator which utilized the voronoi noise. Gives much cooler generation. a game like minecraft was never supposed to have those wide open spaces
Great job! I would love to see trees like yours in the official Minecraft. I kinda like having small trees too, but I think a big mix of trees like the ones you made as well as some standard Minecraft trees together would look really cool
9:44 It does. It has a 4096 build high limit. The only thing, is that the game stops let you place blocks at 320. But there are some ways to break this block.
I am really impressed with how much you are able to make in languages like these! I am very suprised that you haven't been hired by big game companies yet!
@@kingstrider22 Got promoted to architect, guided entire company's tech decisions, hired by Google, led a team there. Got bored. Doing other things now. These videos are a way of me to still fiddle with code, meet some interesting people, without committing to 9-5 job.
I'm so happy to find your channel simon! the content is incredible and I never saw someone going this deep into these topics with javascript. Thank you, I've been learning so much!!
Mountains are looking good. Maybe add an erosion function to level them down a bit? And maybe fill in the empty spaces between leaf blocks in your trees.
Problem with any heightmap-based terrain generation is the lack of overhangs. Even a 4087 bit gradient can only produce a cliff. Procedural terrain generation is still an area that hasn't really seen any improvement since minecraft released over a decade ago.
@@simondev758 This would be great to see. If you do, I would like to put in the suggestion not to use/teach the trilinear interpolation that Minecraft uses to speed up 3D noise generation. The reasons that Minecraft decided trilerp was necessary to make noise fast, were shortsighted at best. It basically came down to using too many noise layers, and not implementing any other optimizations. It looks very griddy, and isn't necessary to get good-performing 3D noise-based overhangs. It would help the community for there to be fewer tutorials that re-teach this, and more that teach other methods. My suggestion: - First, define your 3D noise formula consisting of your fBm/ridged/etc. Take what would define an ordinary 2D heightmap, and add the third coordinate to the noises. Thus, it becomes a heightmap that changes vertically, sometimes leading to overhangs. The vertical frequency trades off overhangs and the risk of floating islands. Test "noiseFormula(x,y,z) > y ? solid : air" to decide whether to place a block. - The optimization: Find the minimum and maximum values it can produce. These are the min/max height for your terrain. Only loop over this Y coordinate range (assuming Y is vertical). Everything below is solid, and everything above is air. It's probably easiest to set a big range while you tune your noise formula, then set the exact values after.
Also I would argue that there have been improvements in terrain generation since Minecraft was released. Newer ways to generate noise with less directional bias, biome distributions, optimizations for generating 3D noisemaps, etc. The community can be quick to latch onto old methods, though, and Minecraft doesn't seem keen to incorporate lots of the newer techniques in their updates. This includes the caves/cliffs update, which is still using the griddy trilinear interpolation on its 3D noise.
I think there's been some changes to Chrome since I released this, IIRC I need to replace the SharedArrayBuffer uses with just simple ArrayBuffer, but I've been lazy about doing that.
Can you try implementing multi block “entities”, something Minecraft won’t be able add? Basically imagine building your own ship and than sailing it. The main problem is water physics and its’ interaction. Accepting the challenge?
Dimensions in Minecraft have a height limit of 4096 however in the overworld the build limit is 320 up and -64 down in 1.17 snapshots however in latest version it’s 255 up and 0 down
You deserve more subscribers than Sam Hogan, judging this! Also you helped me prove to my cousin as to how Game Engines are not everything. I am learning p5.js here and hope to learn THREE.js soon too! Thanks! :D!
About the building height limit, Neeva AI(beta) Quoted: "As of Minecraft 1.18, the height limit has been changed to 319 blocks above the ground and -64 blocks below the ground, increasing the total height of the world by 128 blocks. The default max height for mountains is around 150 blocks in Java and 127 blocks in Bedrock. The game is not even using the current height limit efficiently, especially in the Nether, where the entire top half is wasted."
@@simondev758 simple is pretty relative haha. A lot of these I would have never thought to do on my own. If you wanted to do a paid "advanced techniques course" I think you definitely could.
@@aj35lightning I'll definitely think about it, ideally I'd like to just give this info for free But also wanna pay for things with money, so gotta find a balance I'll see if patreon gets me far enough
@@simondev758 yeah I really admire that your giving this out for free. Also why I admire Yuri's channel and livestreams. I learn so much from them. He also came out with a course and it seems pretty successful. It's focused more on general webgl website integrations, not game dev specifically. Even if most of the information is out for free I think there's value in aggregating it all and having a guiding curriculum for ppl to follow and complete. Some ppl only look for courses, paid or free, like the mega videos on the freecodecamp channel. Like they find a topic they wanna learn and binge a course vs looking for random videos in that topic. Really Not trying to push you to do it, I know making a course would be a pain and a lot of work. More just wanted to say the market is definitely there if you wanted to go that route
@@aj35lightning You bring up some good points, I kinda mulled over the idea last night a bit. I'll probably start collecting ideas into some sort of "course like" framework to start, wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it still goes out in free videos but at the very least I'll build out the curriculum.
2:10, rather than use textures it would've been simpler to attach an array of colour points (reg, green, red, blue, etc) to each cube class, and declare the ID of the function to utilise those colour points in the 1st slot (slot 0), the shader can then just pick out the right function and let it generate the noise and colour to apply between each colour point based on that list, much smaller memory footprint and more flexible in nature
Just to clear things up, as of minecraft 1.16 the build height is 256, 1.17 will make it go from -64 to 320, but it can be easily changed with a few step up to how high and how low you want, there was a bug in a previous snapshot (beta of the new version) that capped the block height to ~-2000 and ~2000
I'll announce when the code is uploaded, I'd like to get it hosted, which has turned into me making a website. So look for an announcement at some point.

I'll probably start collecting ideas into some sort of "course like" framework to start, wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it still goes out in free videos but at the very least I'll build out the curriculum.
umm one problem is there once i load the game it doesn't load the ground it just have me stuck in clouds i fall and i respawn back to cloud
That man is sick!

wow that’s pretty cool

2:10, rather than use textures it would've been simpler to attach an array of colour points (reg, green, red, blue, etc) to each cube class, and declare the ID of the function to utilise those colour points in the 1st slot (slot 0), the shader can then just pick out the right function and let it generate the noise and colour to apply between each colour point based on that list, much smaller memory footprint and more flexible in nature

Me with a 550ti: This is fine...

0FPS is such a gem for minecraft type alrogtms and tech
Wow, awesome stuff very thought provoking!
this is sick! (also god dam you could do a good bob from bobs burgers impression)

You nailed it bro
Just to clear things up, as of minecraft 1.16 the build height is 256, 1.17 will make it go from -64 to 320, but it can be easily changed with a few step up to how high and how low you want, there was a bug in a previous snapshot (beta of the new version) that capped the block height to ~-2000 and ~2000
everyday, my guy sounds like he just woke up
Congrats! you sound like you ar proud of yourself!
Is there the repo of this new version?
I'll announce when the code is uploaded, I'd like to get it hosted, which has turned into me making a website. So look for an announcement at some point.
