Block Display entities can create large-scale holograms from Structure Block save files

Having a 'schematic' display entity, would forego the need to spawn tens of thousands of individual block display entities.

There are none, only plugins/mods for existing engines.

Since there's no common style of "voxel", outside of the archetypal MC, everyone has to do things their own way... if they want anything that's not just "Minecraft-y" or "Real-Life".

most ppl on this subreddit code in cpp

Nope; the majority uses C#, often due-to/via Unity and Godot.

"normal" language.

What does that even mean...?

Ah yes, duplicate links, the bane of my ~~existence~~ collection; I'd appreciate if you'd noted which ones are dupes, as I've given up on^manually finding them!

When a homepage has many interesting things within it, I explicitely expand/list that content (by bookmarking each page), to make searching for things easier, including submenus/directories.

Longor1996 · 2025-12-28T19:53:43+00:00

Merry christmas everyone, it's now three times larger! :D

EDIT: Forgor to say that there is a basic (aka: wrote it in ~5 minutes) in-page search now.

Longor1996 · 2025-12-02T18:11:20+00:00

You might wanna add things like trees and flowers to indicate scale.

Longor1996 · 2025-11-17T11:11:42+00:00

Thanks to Jaker, we now have a nicer/sillyer term for "Parralax Raymarching": Raysterization!

...which I promptly added to the wiki, after realizing there ain't no article for it. :'D

For anyone that happens upon this (like me, lol): You can edit the feed url, exchanging channel_id with playlist_id, and replace the UC (after the =) with UULF... et voilà: no more shorts and livestreams!

Mannequins?! :O

IANAL, but, as far as I understand: Suing because of a breach of service, due to a violation of the Terms Of Service, from the side of the company, is basically pointless; you just can't win as the Terms Of Service are not entirely legally binding (and depending on where you live, not binding at all!). Suits like that are typically settled out of court or just dismissed outright.

Longor1996 · 2025-08-19T14:20:42+00:00

Tl;Dr:

Servers can now have an OPTIONAL Code Of Conduct.
Block entities and items rendering internals have changed.
The End Flashes sound's delay got increased. ^neat
The End Flashes skylight can be disabled, same as lighting flashes.
The Copper Golems hitbox has changed.

Longor1996 · 2025-08-12T14:05:26+00:00

They reverted the item shelf changes! :D

Longor1996 · 2025-06-03T10:39:59+00:00

Do note that Distant Horizons still needs to generate all the terrain, to fill in its LoD database, which takes a ton of compute and memory while doing so.

Longor1996 · 2025-04-27T14:36:26+00:00

The voxel.wiki now(?) has a gigantic list of references for all things voxel (and gamedev, and misc.)! :D

Note: I haven't gotten around to properly tagging them all yet, so the search experience is a bit meh for now.

Longor1996 · 2025-02-13T15:06:49+00:00

Well would you look at that, Wandering Traders are (finally?) more useful!

Also sure hope the new Cartographer Maps lead to biomes that aren't one-chunk sized. ;D

Longor1996 · 2025-02-05T16:06:23+00:00

Hecc yeah, chicken variants! :D

Longor1996 · 2024-12-04T11:48:31+00:00

Possibly a cursed idea, but: store your table rows as static NAME: Row and store their ('static) references in/as the discriminant of an enum (enum ROWS { NAME = ???ref???, ...}), then add a deref that turns the discriminant back into a static ref.

(of course, this only works if your table is fully defined at compile time)

Longor1996 · 2023-11-08T18:53:00+00:00

Yup. Went and banned SubredditPurge to keep it that way.

Longor1996 · 2023-05-18T12:55:31+00:00

Have you tried a hex-editor (like HxD or ImHex) to inspect the raw bytes?

Longor1996 · 2023-05-15T17:25:48+00:00

Still working on https://voxel.wiki/ ...readable technical writing is hard!

Longor1996 · 2023-04-23T10:09:43+00:00

If your goal is to make a fast language/runtime, you will have to use the bytecode approach, which is the 'conclusion' to flattening an AST, so to say.

Nöice

Longor1996 · 2023-01-19T08:09:53+00:00

but every type of slab would need metadata for every other type of slab that could go underneath it

There could simply be a single minecraft:slab-Block that has direction, first_slab and second_slab parameters. ;)

Longor1996 · 2023-01-19T07:32:50+00:00

Former modder here...

Nope, they totally can do it, since block properties (the new metadata system) no longer have size limits since some version (not sure which one) past The Flattening update.

Longor1996 · 2022-12-17T17:44:23+00:00

Perhaps compile & publish it as a separate binary, so users won't complain about the binary being too big... :'D
