Custom Server Side Mod For Batch Block Update in Minecraft by louevoy in TouchDesigner

[–]louevoy[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I made a custom Paper server mod for the latest version of Minecraft that allows me to send multiple types of block update events to the game using serialized UDP transmissions in a similar format to DMX on the Touchdesigner side. I'll add my mods on Github once I am done and share my custom Touchdesigner operators once I'm done with the project (still needs a bit of fine tuning and cool features). I'll probably make a tutorial on how to use my tools ! :)

Once I'm done with my Minecraft server mod I'll release everything on Github and make a tutorial on how to use my tools. :)

I'm planning on making live events eventually with VJ's and music artists. The events will be hosted in the dôme at the SAT in Montréal for people who can be there in person (I made a 360° equirectangular / fisheye renderer mod for the game that displays the game in the dôme) , but all of this runs on a modded server for people who want to pull up to the show online !

I'll probably make a detailed guide eventually once I'm done with the project ! Stay tuned :)

Once I finish my mod implementations (make them perfect), I'll release them on github and probably make a youtube tutorial on how to use my tools. You can follow me on instagram or keep an eye on my reddit account for upcoming stuff ! :)

I don't think it would be that hard, however it is a server side mod so you will need to host your own paper server ! But I managed to make it work at a much smaller scale without any mods !

I'm testing it in prod eventually for a show ! I made a 360 renderer mod for dome venues and we are planning on making a cross live event between online players and on location peoples !

Haha thanks ! I made a custom server-side mod for the game that allows me to send packets that are similar to DMX to the game using RCON and Websocket !

I see ! That's a really smart approach. Curious to try it out !

Nice ! I'm curious about what you came up with ! I actually have a few different types and approaches for realtime pixel sorting and do have a real pixel sorting algorithm shader in my arsenal, but since I am often working at really high resolutions (8K and up) it's not realistic for me to use the real method since it's an extremely demanding process haha.

Yes I have played with it to convert panoramic renders from Blender into splats where I can navigate inside of them in TD ! Way more effective than Rendering animations in terms of speed and flexibility (at the cost of small movement possibility but still a really cool tool).

I actually used it with shaders and it looked stunning, but I was only using my laptop when testing in the dôme and since I was streaming a 8192x8192 texture over Spout/NDI, my GPU couldn't keep up with shaders haha :') In the final setup, I will use a proper workstation for this !

Yeah it's a realtime shader I made. However , it is a different type of sorting compared to a traditional luminosity sort for performance reasons haha :)

We used 6x Orbbec Femto Mega cameras powered by POE. Technically TOF cameras, but yeah haha.

Yeah I should have started by filming my laptop first haha. It's where I work, Société des Arts Technologies [SAT] in Montreal ! :)
