Description for Minecraft Renderengine

I'd like to find out how the minecraft renderengine works and perhabs adapt it to other technologies. Is there an analysis 开发者_高级运维of the seemingly quite simple render engine of minecraft?

Voxels, just orthogonal borders and some other constraints apply to this engine.

I already tried this. I cannot recommend it. The Minecraft "Engine" is just poorly designed and sometimes I think Mojang has broken every single best practice I know.

Programming a new "Block-Engine" leads to much better results than guessing what Mojang tried to do in their obfuscated code.

Have you considered using the Unity3d game engine. It is a game engine that can run in the browser, on IOS or Android so it could be a good option for you to investigate and will run faster than canvas/js. Either way the following source code and discussion links should give you some ideas.

There is a very active discussion thread over on the unity forums. A few people were making a Minecraft clone for learning purposes. Eventually one of them released the full source code and project files online here http://www.filefactory.com/file/b48a41e/n/MinePackage.unitypackage.

Here is a video of someone demoing a Minecraft clone they are making in Unity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADnPbeg1aXk. So it is definitely possible.

If you are interested in using voxels you can look at the VoxelForm unitypackage here http://www.voxelform.com/. The cool thing about this is it can do a lot more than just blocks see this demo video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc-VQL8VyIY of it being used with infinite terrain.

I think that you might want to use mcp62. There is absolutely no way that you're going to get anywhere with the obfuscated code, but mcp62 has done something to create a version of the minecraft source code with comments and the like. Here is a link to their wiki:MCP wiki
