Adding Biomes to 2D Minecraft

[@amberslime3683]

Ooh, this is some good stuff. Great presentation, great choice in background music (bonus points for leveling your audio such that I can always hear your voice over the BGM), and it seems this 2D Minecraft project is coming along nicely! I'm eager to see the next episode.

[@theAstarrr]

Every one of this guy’s videos is great. When I found him with just a few videos I knew he would be fun to watch show cool coding projects.

[@Bonnster12]

I agree

[@BlockiestBob]

7:34 is so relaxing

[@The_Chronomaniac]

Once again another really cool video!! I'm assuming you are going to be tackling block breaking along with possibly mobs next? Wondering if you'll implement a similar system that Minecraft has in regard to mob generation when it comes to lighting. Also, it's cool and funny that you did the same arms and limbs rotation that Minecraft does even though I feel like a sprite sheet for everything but the head could have achieved the same effect. Either way awesome video and can't wait to see what you tackle next!

[@Ibrobo7]

This series should be called "Turning Minecraft Into Terraria"

[@vento9943]

More like combining minecraft and terraria

[@analogicparadox]

- doing this thing is easy - doing this other thing is easy - I thought doing this thing would be easy, but it's actually very complicated Well, ain't that the experience of making in a nutshell

[@woutervanduin7415]

Lol

[@ermamu]

Amazing so far! I like how Steve looks. My one nitpick is that the sun being visible through some blocks underground is kinda ugly. Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@souptime8635]

The video was very enjoyable. I can’t wait for the addition of structures. Why did you not use a sin-curve in your code for the for the sunrise/sunset?

[@CodeNoodles]

That's a good question. I made things too difficult again!

[@cracktusgaming8473]

that is dope, you should make the underground walls out of stone instead of dirt tho

[@TinyDeskEngineer]

Maybe the generated walls should be based on the tile that would've been generated there if the hole wasn't there?

[@2Broz.]

they are

[@Name_Dot_Text]

This is so cool! The effort you put into this is insane

[@pyraswolf4263]

This stuff is amazing! Reminds me of when I used to play Paper Minecraft.

[@abugidaiguess]

i see those updated trees, they look quite a bit better now! interesting how Steve's jump height is like 2.64 blocks high (according to some rough pixel measurements i did), which is a lot more than Minecraft's 1.25. i am honestly okay with this change, climbing hills and stuff seems like it'd be a pain otherwise, though the whole "jump and place a block below you" thing is gonna feel different like this similarly, Steve's run speed is like 9.5 blocks/second, which is nearly twice as fast as in Minecraft. that's a pretty significant increase, i'd say maybe slow it down a bit in this case a lot of those diorite/granite/andesite/gravel patches look really similar to the real game! i'd say make them have a bigger minimum size (if that's even feasible the way you coded them, idk) the day-night cycle seems to last 6 minutes 40 seconds (according to probably wrong maths but eh) which is way faster than the original game; seems like that's because 2D runs at 60 ticks/second while Minecraft runs at only 20 ticks/second last time i kinda pulled apart the look of the game, so i guess i gotta do that again! i did notice in the hills biome that there is some dirt without grass on top, which seems like an oversight but idk also, caves seem impossible to traverse with the darkness you added; they get pitch-black like 10 blocks in. maybe make the effect less significant or make the player emit a bit of light?? (there might be a better solution i didn't think of) the edges between desert and non-desert biomes seems a little rough, with a very visible vertical line separating the biomes. some amount of blending/dithering/something would make them seem a little less jarring also, more background blocks. someone else already said this, and i agree with them. dirt in the background of caves is not ideal in terms of what i'd like to see next, the building + mining system would be good to have. adding an inventory alongside would be good too, but idk if that's too much for one video i think adding a biome or two each video would be good, the main biome i'd want is taiga but (as someone else said) jungle is good too structures would be interesting; i'm pretty curious how a village could be implemented in 2d since most platformers would treat houses as "sub-areas" but that might be awkward in the context of Minecraft also it's pretty funny to me how you treated cacti as "desert trees"

[@woutervanduin7415]

How long did it take for you to write this comment?

[@everyblu]

Now it's "jump and place two blocks below you".

[@johnpelingon6189]

Yeah and the day-night cycle is satishfaying

[@zaj007]

Your coding skills really evolved with the channel. Keep it up

[@jwcrusader_us543]

I really wanna shake this guy's hand.

[@theAstarrr]

6:54 well not exactly. In regular Minecraft there are 20 ingame ticks per second, meaning 1200 per minute, and 72000 per hour. Unless there’s some other timer in the game for the day night cycle Your timer absolutely makes more sense but it’s different than the one in Minecraft

[@ArcadeMystereo]

Great video, loved it! I found your channel today because I wanted to learn more about searching algorithms and ended up watching all your videos, and also found out you're the guy who made the inverse snake xD I have a few ideas that you could add 1. Background behind background layer. This is taken from another 2D game similar to Terraria, called Starbound, there the background of the world is different the deeper you go, so at the surface you'll see hills for example, then further down maybe just a stone wall, but deep down there are lava sees and stuff. The background itself is hidden behind the background layer of tiles, but sometimes there are open spots and light shines through when the background is illuminated. Additionally if the background is water, for example in an ocean, and the background layer is empty then the water will flow from the background to the front layer. I think those 2 mechanics would be the coolest. 2. Weather cycles. I mean it's simple (I assume), if there is a clear path from the sky to a block, then display an animated rain or snow texture, and for snow you can make snow layers spawn at random and stack up until they form a full block. 3. I'd slow down Steve's limb movement a notch, it seems just a little too fast. Great work so far, keep it up! Earned a sub.

[@CodeNoodles]

Thank you so much!

[@gabrielbp4764]

Really cool video ! Your voice and your "narration" makes something that could be boring for so many people really interesting and captivating ! ~A guy from France.

[@Oddo22]

9:09 DAMN, Steve's moonwalking skills are through the roof 🚀🚀🚀

[@aireyroblox]

I feel like the bugs in world generation would be cool as a sort of "farlands" but in 2D minecraft. Great video!

[@meualecaca]

Today, I Saw a cactus right next to a block.

[@probablyNotGigaChad]

This man deserves 100k subs

[@harmonichaoticart]

I've been trying my hand at using scratch as a game engine, and watching videos like yours have really inspired me to work from scratch and really learn how games are made. Thank you, and keep up the good work 🖤

[@bigbob_yt]

I’m very impressed! Great job!

[@Aragonite_]

Can’t wait for the next episode, great job!

[@wintyrbarnes8533]

this is SO cool! i love seeing the behind-the-scenes of what goes into making a game, and you show it off really well. i also want to second AmberSlime's comment about the music, the mixing is just right. that full day/night cycle was really beautiful, too. though i have a question about that - is there a particular reason you went with the color-changing gradient rather than a looping/y-axis-scrolling background (like minecraft's skybox, but in 2D)? i can imagine that perfecting the scrolling speed would be kind of a hassle, though. anyway, very cool! i look forward to seeing where this goes next. do you plan to use perlin noise to generate ores, too, or a different kind of randomization?

[@CodeNoodles]

Thank you so much! I will probably use Perlin noise for the ores, too.

[@arjenenmaartjeroozeboom-va7504]

This is great!!! I am realy excited for the next episode. Keep it up and don't overwork your self❤❤❤

[@lel7531]

WOW, crazy progress. Can't wait for the next update of Mc 2D

I hope you keep working on this project for a long time. It has a lot of potential.

So is this, the fabled ‘Terraria’ I’ve heard of? The 2D minecraft?

[@Fanny-Fanny]

Amazing! Looking forward to the next update already!

[@burningbandit]

Super cool dude, can't wait for the next one

[@ozonegamedev]

I've discovered your channel yesterday and I can say your videos are very interesting

[@Ghostysong]

Man I alway love watching your videos

[@smartsonly2381]

G'luck with all future projects, keep up the great work! (:

[@tanhrs8711]

Did you use a physic engine for collision and movements, or did you make this yourself? And if you did, how did you do ?

[@CodeNoodles]

I made it myself. It's just a really simple AABB collision system with basic gravity applied to it.

[@tanhrs8711]

@@CodeNoodles you really read every comment ! I can't believe it !

[@CodeNoodles]

@@tanhrs8711 Yep!

[@shayes.x]

Nice stuff! You might already be doing this and just omitting it from the videos, but it would be a good idea to add doc comments to your code at some point. It can really free up some brain power and help you remember what all your code does!

[@someonecalledrichardthehuman]

Incredible improvements ! , this is going very well 🙃

[@CrashDy]

Nicely done! Next up should be interacting with the world and an inventory system.

[@Godly_DOGE9211]

Yooooo it looks like the blockheads!!

[@glasscannon1231]

very impressive, I must say

[@promaster9368]

Does the sand has physics? When there's no block under it?

[@CodeNoodles]

Yes, it does now!

[@promaster9368]

Oh ok

[@jerrychandler7094]

I haven’t watched this whole series yet, but I have an idea for you. If Steve stands still, you should have him turn his head and look at you.

[@wartkras]

I'm not english so I didn't understood everything but that truely was fascinating

[@ocks_dev_vlogs]

Genuinely just a good video

[@BlazingImp77151]

Do you plan to eventually add different grass colours based off biomes like normal Minecraft has? or will you be sticking with the one type. (if you haven't done that in the latest video).

[@chipwright3315]

Loving this

[@xwds2095]

phenomenal!

Honestly it looks more like terraria with a minecraft paint job on it. I mean you can’t escape that comparison

[@sv98753]

Just great, you der should make it a Game we can Buy and Support

[@kales901]

you should make a pause menue with settings such as the type of lightening

U should publish it when u finish

[@bobbigford6290]

Like it a lot kinda reminds me of those flash games like cat mario when you added Steve and he can jump like 3 blocks high well the arc that is

[@thatoneannoyingtornadosire8755]

This looks like really early terraria, which is not an insult just something i noticed
