You wanna play Minecraft in Minecraft? Well, too bad for you. You can't! But you can play this!

Features so far:

• Generates world randomly as you explore, with grass, dirt, stone, coal, iron, gold, diamond, and bedrock.
  
• Player can jump with collision detection that works pretty well (and will improve in future).
  
• You can put items in your inventory and move them around as you in normal Minecraft.
  
• You can dig out the ground with left click (the game detects blocks between you and your cursor) and place the block you have selected in your hotbar with right click.
  
• Dropped items with collision detection!
  
• Characters on some blocks to make them look (hopefully) prettier!

Bugs (the ones I know of):

• You sometimes glitch through terrain, this may take a while to figure out. The instance of this I know of is when you jump while moving towards block. seemingly squashed!
  
• When you go into the ground, the collision detection pushes out up and out of it (sort of like it's water that you're floating in). When I implement health, I'll probably make it so that you suffocate instead (except maybe if you're only one block underground). squashed!
  
• You can break the "none" blocks at the top of the map, but you can't place in them. (I will hopefully figure out a way that you can place upwards infinitely without bugs) definitely squashed!

If anyone finds any bugs in it (other than the one listed above), then please tell me. If you have any suggestions on how to improve it (how the game behaves, how it performs, anything), then post them.

I started working on this sidescroller yesterday (the 15th), and decided it was good enough so far to post it on here. It's basically not worth playing because it doesn't really have any gameplay (health, inventory, crafting) yet, and it's not really playable because of the way keypresses are handled in CC, but I feel somewhat good about how well it works with what CC has so far.

Looks pretty. Good luck with this!

Nice, Mineception! Just a suggestion: I would really want a save feature for this.

Great program! As Left4Cake said, it needs a save function and the ability to place more than stone

[Zaggy1024]

Yeah, like the topic title says, early WIP. I'm definitely not gonna say it's done till it has a save feature, but I'm not sure how long that'll take. Placing blocks other than stone is probably gonna be done sooner, because I really want to make an inventory for it. (how I'm going to make the differences between items clear is gonna take some figuring out though)

When I left click to mine the blocks don't break. Am I doing something wrong? I do not have lights on.

It hapens for me too. It's a cool program, anyways.

That's strange, I don't know why that might be. I just downloaded the (now old) version from above and I can break blocks. :\

Anyway, I've got a new version to release. If you guys still have that problem, tell me and I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong.

Changes:

• Improved collision detection
  
• Jumping works better because you lose less speed in the air.
  
• A test dropped item (an apple), you can't pick it up though.
  
• Saplings, currently they don't do anything.
  
• Characters on some blocks (the bedrock, diamond, and saplings) to make them look better. If you have any suggestions on how I can make anything in the game look better, then please tell me, because I think it looks sort of ugly currently.
  
• Changed status bar back color to black.

How would that work? Also, what are you good at?

Which thing do you people want first, an inventory/crafting or block updates?

[nutcase84]

The update fixed it. It just keeps getting cooler and cooler.
EDIT: More bugs. You can place blocks ontop of yourself, and when you do, you float to the surface.
EDIT: WHOAH! 660 lines of code! Good job!

Yeah, I left that bug in there because it allows you to make towers like in normal Minecraft without having to mess with jumping... I guess I'll have figure out how to make the collision detection not make you goup if you're under a block...

Thanks. I don't really see it as that big an accomplishment, but that may just be because I'm the one making it.

Great job on the bedrock! It looks great! And crafting would be neat, and probably not to hard if you use tables.

I didn't 'copy' him, and he didn't 'copy' me.

I made my original post in October (way before this)


Anyways, nice program
I like how your character is always centered.

Inventory and crafting coming hopefully tomorrow or the day after!

Edit: I edited the OP to reflect the changes I made in the second release.

Yay! With the inventory coming, could you place blocks? (Other than infinite stone)

Yeah, of course. Sadly, I think it may be another couple of days before the next release. Yesterday, I got sick, AND Minecraft Forge started crashing Minecraft before it started up, so I wasn't able to do anything. Even if Forge had been working, I don't think I'd be able to write anything, though, because my sickness made it hard for me to think or concentrate... :\
Thankfully, I should be able to write code today, because I'm feeling a lot better and I got Minecraft working again.
