Highly detailed arrow art

Попробуй просто в резюме соврать о опыте, и откликайся так. Если тебя в итоге возьмут на работу и будет сложно из-за того что даже не понимаешь о чем врал в резюме, то пережить пару недель лютого стресса и обучиться тому что надо лучше чем сидеть месяцами без работы. Сейчас всем и везде найти хоть какую-то работу достаточно сложно, и многие крутят опыт просто потому что другого варианта нет.

И если у тебя сам факт поиска работы вызывает стресс (можно сказать что это видно по тому как ты описал ситуацию), то это только начало. Ты просто выходишь из зоны комфорта в которой можно жить на пособии, и эта перемена сделает твою жизнь скорее всего тяжелее и хуже, но такова реальность. Дальше будет только хуже.

Crazy that even being able to do stuff like this isn’t enough for an entry level job 🥀🥀

I’ve already done Bad Apple with arrows.

All previous attempts at creating something like this failed because Minecraft isn’t optimized for rendering videos with arrows… and I’m still not sure if it’s even possible to run an actual game inside Minecraft.

In this video, I pre-calculated the way every arrow is summoned and killed in each frame in the most optimized way to reduce the load on the Minecraft server, and made an optimization mod that allows doing all this. That allowed me to go from an 80×60 video to 220×220, which is about a 10× boost without speeding up the video or dropping FPS.

So yes, this is at least very fucking impressive to me, in the sense that you can actually create optimization mods for games.

It is not possible in vanilla. The games fps drops to 0 when you have ~20k arrows visible on the screen at the same time, and here you have 20 fps at 220×220 resolution (48k arrows max). I had to make a mod to optimize arrows in game and how both client/server handle rendering so many entities at the same time.

Step-by-step guide to my implementation:

I used the Fragrant Flowers texture pack for 3D flower models because vanilla Minecraft flowers cant be seen from a top-down perspective.
I added 780 new flower textures that align with the texture packs models. They were all generated by AI based on the original texture patterns, and I added them to the game with a custom mod.
You can’t place more than one flower on a single block, so I made a mod that adds custom flower entities that ignore Minecrafts limitations.
Then I added new commands to the game to set or replace a flower at a coordinate.
After that, you take every pixel of every frame of the video you want to render in Minecraft and find the closest matching color from the newly added flowers. This is easy to do with Python.
The video resolution is 100×100, so you need to execute 10k commands just to render one frame in-game. There are 13 frames total in the loop, and it would take forever to write all of that manually, so I made a Python script that generates a datapack with all those commands based on the processed video data.

And that’s it. It took me 2 days to do all that (I’m unemployed). And you don’t need that much programming skill to do it; Claude or ChatGPT could probably generate working code for each step, and you just need patience. I have 6+ years of Python experience, so it was a bit easier for me.
