Running Minecraft but on the Web. This is using GPU and more specifically used to use WebGL but not it is using a much optimized version of Web based GPU handling API called WebGPU. It is known to be superior and much more optimized. And also.. My code supports both the types, so if you have an older system which doesn't support the latest WebGPU, it will fallback to WebGL.. Sorry to any mobile users. This is not mobile friendly.
Playing Minecraft it was never meant to be LMAO.. On this, an important announcement to make here. I will not be able to add multiplayer into this build, because it adds extra complexity into the build, which I am not able to work it for now. It requires you to first have an server in the first place, and then work with streaming and all those. Latency can be a nightmare to tackle with. I am waiting for my last ship’s payout so I can push on github, all my updates. Till then, I am working on small things, like adding structures like trees, water and so on, because this is a new, and much more optimized build than the last one. You will also find it relatively pleasing to read my code, if you are nerdy enough, but isn’t that hard tbh.
Better support for AO Voxels and lighting coming soon to this build. Stay Tunes or you might miss out. Here is a small working prototype of it. What is AO you may ask? AO means Ambient Occlusion, what it does is check in the four corners, and predict the shading based off of those corners. I mean, AO has much more, but this is like a basic and optimized version of it, that looks good, but also not performance heavy. Obviously, I am not using GAMING RTX 5090 for this.. Hell, My Laptop doesn’t even have a GPU, SO SHUT UP.. IT’S MY GAME AND I WILL DESIGN IT HOWEVER I WANT.
Hate me as much as you want, because, I am rewriting my code once again for the idk, like 5th time, just to learn more, and finally I am able to structure my code properly. Go this was a bad plan. And I would not like to go to this hell ever again. Please god, forgive me for my sins..
But anyways, as you can see, I am currently, literally rewriting parts of the code, and organishing it, into much better folder structure, so I and you, and she who told you not to worry about his boy, can all understand this code and you don’t have to be a nerd to be changing parameters to buff yourself, to become the boy the girls needs.. IDK, I have been working too much on this project. I need therapy LMAO..
Currently working on WebRTC and understanding, why do I exist, but also why do computers exist, and how do computers know that my computer is not your computer and your computer is well, how is it your computer. And can they secretly interact and do goofy things with ultrasonic, and I mean, it’s technically the speed of light so.. YAH..
Final Finishing Touches, And I wanted to add much more, like better lighting support and all, but Now I am getting too much out of my comfort zone, and will have to work completely with AI, I have polished the UI, made an Inventory system and a bit more, but now, I am really tired, and cannot explain, how tedious it has become maintaining my own code. So I will have to halt my project now and ship it. Thanks to Stardance for giving me such a wonderful place to code at and work, and show my works and learn so so much cool stuff into the world of GPUs and Shaders.
Umm.. Do cows have lawyers?
Anyways, Today, i just worked on refactoring my code into different files, so it is easier to navigate and understand the code. Because it was getting a mess.
Water Update with bouyancy and all.. And made everything look like Avatar.. BLUE TONED.. Because you know, Water is blue, and blue is blue, I have no clue, so make everything blue. Now, you are blue, and me is blue
IDK, How do I show you but basically, As I have moved to a typescript focused base. So, I had to change my monorepo and all. So Now, the game is playable for anyone to enjoy.
Guys it’s been about 12 hours and let me tell you. First of all. I am just too tired after all this. I wanted to use better optimized code like SSBOs but basically, I cannot use it due to the fact that it is not available in OpenGL ES 30 so I had to go all around and make the entire game in another GPU.. Making shaders was already hard. THIS MADE IT WORSE!! So, Currenly, my app supports two formats and if you are stupid enough that you don’t have WebGPU, so it will run normally like WebGL will get on and help. Further optimized my code and also, I will be optimizing it even further. I have added grass by then SO I CAN TOUCH IT, ATLEAST WHEN I AM SITTING AND LEARNING AND DOING THESE STUPID STUFF. Uff.. Also the I have also added moving Cows so you can see, but the texture is just stone so please don’t mind.
Guys, I think, I found a friend.. Its not cute and all.. BUT IT’S LOVELY.. I LOVE HER SO MUCH.. YOU NAME IS WELL.. PET ROCK.. AWWWW.. YOU ARE SO LOVELY MS. PET ROCK.. Hope you don’t die the moment you fall.. 100% NOT FORESHADOWING..
Water is finally working and it is moving.. It is animated so you can enjoy the ambience. Furthermore, I have dialed up the variables for my night. So, the night isn’t like a horror movie. Took me a little too long then I would anticipate.
Currently I am working on Implementing Water, and let’s just say, it’s not working out well for me.
Guys, I think, When I meant Water, I meant to add Water not BEANS IN MINECRAFT.. LMAOO… BEANS!!!!!! BEANS MOD COMING SOON TM
ONLY 1% OF PEOPLE CAN FIND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY LODs LMAO XD… CAN YOU FIND THE 4 LEVELS OF LODS BECAUSE I CANNOT - DORA THE DRUG DEALER
Inventory Icon Update
Not to brag about anything, but I just rendered like over 4000 chunks with I know I know, 20 FPS, but you don’t realise, just see the CPU and GPU. It’s not even a proper GPU, Is uses VRAM from my storage no less.. For anyone wondering, Check Intel UHD Graphics, and my CPU is i3-1005G1, so it’s some antique peice, but yet, my algorithms held strong even in rendering 4000 fizzing chunks.
Entities like cows coming soon.
Rendering Pipeline Updated, to make it work with even more chunks Procedural Generation, and make it not suck. The main problem I was facing and is still facing is the fact that I am dumb, and also Lighting. Somehow, the Lighting Engine is not working out with so many parameters that I have tested with. I will probably just
Lighting Engine Update, And tons of optimizations added to make it work. I hope, it doesn’t crash on anyone, because, when I check the memory usage of this bad boy, it was just 56MB, I was like, FAH??? I MADE ALL OF THIS, IN 56 MB???? That’s some crazy shit. I will be working on the Menu and all next. Stay tuned.
First of all, thanks to rufus.gordonheywood for his following, because, I forgot, I was doing star dance, I literally, went so deep into making Minecraft work. If you want, you can check, this minecraft literally has no external dependencies.. THAT IS SOME CRAZY SHIT. I recently made procedral generation, multithreading, and so much more. And I want to be brutally honest with everyone, yes I am using AI, because I just couldn’t make it work without it, the WEBGPU Shaders, the compiling languages, and so much more. I am sorry for anyone who is disappointed.
BTW, Currently, I am seeing a bug, that if you fork my project and run it through live server, it is working fine, but not through github. IDK, What’s wrong, but I will get into it ASAP, and make everyone enjoy my shit.
Don’t even ask, why I made a 32x32x32 Minecraft world, and hyperoptimized it to run on GPU and write compute shaders, and eat myself multiple times in the process.. Yah Yah, I used AI, but I wrote everything by hand and understand most of the code, apart from Shaders, just don’t ask me please.. LOL.. But, I made this run with only 40 vertices, like WHAT THE FLUFFFF???? YOOOOO
Worked on Procedral Glass Breaking… Please don’t ask how long it took, because IT TOOK ME THROUGH THE CORNERS OF INTERNET TO FIND SOMETHING, and then refined it with AI.. Yah AI, I want to be open, But I am not smart enough dealing with such intricate part and design
