Adding Gameplay to 2D Minecraft

[@-mattking]

"although it may not seem like it, we got a lot done in this video" *proceeds to make the game playable*

[@abugidaiguess]

*makes the game a game*

[@maunoh4659]

You should add block breaking particles, it would give a lot more feedback and be more juicy.

[@drumming_cat]

another suggestion would be to make block texture rotations like how the stone texture in the game can be reversed around the y axis to give some variation so the stone doesn't look like a pattern. same with deepslate and dirt is rotated in all 90deg increments.

[@p-doggo5787]

Also some buildeing blocks,like doors,trapdoors,ladders...

[@User71537]

He should add mobs next like the creeper, zombie and the skeleton, and non hostile mobs like the pig, cow, and sheep, And also make the hunger and health bars work. And the last suggestion I have is to have beds to you can skip the night and make it day…

[@nikolozgilles]

ohh yeah give me those juicy crusty particles mmmm yeah 🥵

[@yeyeyeyeyeyeyyeyey]

6:22 I absolutely love how deep the world is! Though with this perspective I think caves could use a little tweaking to make them either more frequent or better connected with each other

[@CodeNoodles]

Thanks! I forgot to mention it, but the world's were originally 256 blocks tall, but I changed it to 512.

[@Gaming32i]

When I made 2D Minecraft, I actually did saving from the getgo. The save file is mmapped directly into the server. I think this actually limited me, though, as it means I can't change the format of chunks too drastically since they're mapped directly to disk.

[@CrashDy]

I feel like ladders would be a super useful feature that can greatly help the player traverse vetically. Simply having it be placed on top of the wall layer seems the most useful.

[@abugidaiguess]

congratulations! your game is now officially Mine! now all you need to do is add crafting and you officially have Minecraft!

[@abugidaiguess]

but like actually that's my suggestion, crafting system

[@ArcadeMystereo]

Very nice video! I even learned something new with the biome colour interpolation system. I have a suggestion regarding ore generation, make sure to not adjust the ore vein size until it looks like Minecraft, but until it has around the same amount of drops as Minecraft. Since 2d Minecraft is missing an entire dimension but will probably require the same amount of ores as crafting materials, you need to compensate for the missing ores that you would usually get from the 3rd dimension in Minecraft, either by making the veins bigger or by making the ore blocks drop more ores. But then again, maybe you thought about this too, who knows, I don't. Keep up the great work!

[@notyarrs]

Well you can see through walls in 2d minecraft so he should actually lower it

[@ArcadeMystereo]

@@notyarrs That's fair, but maybe he could make it so you can only see very little through the wall, so that even with a full strength light source on a wall black, you may only see up to the 2nd block behind it. A similar 2d game I played has something in that direction and it really gives caves that creepy and unexplored vibe.

[@cracktusgaming8473]

It's looking great bro. My recommendation is to make it so you hold the items in your hand, like the pickaxe when your mining

[@decoy3641]

It would be an understatement to say I really enjoy watching your content. I respect the time you spend working on these devlogs, video editing included and I hope all is well!

[@cravonomire9971]

Oooooh Minecraft noodle is back

[@sethniflin8285]

Idea: Add semisolid blocks to the entrances of caves and if you want to translucent walls that would be in a front layer ontop of everything, so you could make pillars in caves or other stuff like that

[@brauniktanvandarnamn]

You can make mobs, structers, villiges, crops, crafting tables, smelting and so you have to smelt the raw ores to get normal ore.

[@someonecalledrichardthehuman]

Neat, actual gameplay. Most proyects i have seen on KZbin are just for the sake of a video and never go past a sort of boring "Creative mode" limbo of sorts, i could see myself playing this better than most AAA titles just for the fact that you are actually putting a lot of effort in it rather than just making a demo, never touching it again, and then being like "Ima such good programmer GIVE ME RECOGNITION FOR THIS SH--- RIGHT NOW!!!". Thank you for making this CN Edit: What about adding mobs?

[@Solesteam]

Durability, it seems like those tools lack the beloved feature of degrading over time.

[@asher3311]

i think the green in the taiga should be a bit darker and possibly a tiny bit bluer

[@burningbandit]

Loving these videos dude, can't wait for more

[@haleysettembre]

You should add tool durability

[@nikolozgilles]

suggestion: water! so we can fish and have a swim

[@molycow]

Seeing this awesome channel grow is so amazing... Thank you for your work!

[@nikolozgilles]

OMG I DIDNT EVEN SEE THIS VIDEO GET PUBLISHED 😍

[@TinyDeskEngineer]

Fun fact about biome colors in Minecraft: Spruce (and Birch) leaves are tinted with a constant color. They actually don't change depending on biome at all. And yet for some reason the leaf textures for them are still greyscale.

[@TattleameliaMLG]

I ADORE this. It looks so cool, really wish I could play it! Do you have any plans to release it when it's finished or at least in a decently playable state?

[@Autumnly24]

This is such a cool project! I've seen a lot of people "remake" Minecraft, but nobody ever does it in-depth, so it's really really interesting to see someone adding actual content! (I know you're a pretty large channel, and unlikely to notice this, but I'd totally help out with this project if you ever need!)

[@raphaeldecadoudal1798]

This is a insane project. I think everyone want to see thus go further. Continue that way

[@aireyroblox]

Super cool! I'm excited to see where this series goes.

[@liamplamondon]

when I see one of your videos I'm always exited

[@jayronbaello3645]

I have been watching since the start and im glad your doing the same thing!

[@jayronbaello3645]

Since the 2nd ever vid btw

[@lel7531]

Impressive progress ! Can't wait for the next one

[@mtgamekid2510]

When chunks are loaded, does it search the whole folder or just check a list? Because it seems like if you store which chunks are loaded in a list, it would be able to load new chunks faster. Just a suggestion. Also, awesome project! Keep up the good work!

[@krubbington]

This project is really starting to come together! You're super great at coding... I wouldn't even know where to begin if I made a project like this.

[@Lebyy]

Loving the videos. How will you break blocks in the background like at 4:16 I get leaving it there for caves but what if someone wants to flatten an area out. You should also allow players to place blocks in the background for things like houses.

[@CodeNoodles]

I will be working on that in the next episode. Good question!

[@micahaghedo7610]

You should add a render zoom/distance feature!

[@CodeNoodles]

I do already. It comes in handy for testing

[@micahaghedo7610]

@@CodeNoodles oooo nice. My other idea was a way to save your spawn, like a bed.

[@colinsteve5832]

Incredible work man, you're an inspiration

[@Ndrici]

You could add durability to tools.

[@Rocky7777v7]

Add running, and a water biome, make lava pools for obsidian to make portal and make a 2d nether

[@conord82]

Wow that did not seem like you got just a little done. That was a ton of work and super impressive

[@BlazingImp77151]

It may be complicated, but fluids could be cool to see (especially if you are digging straight down like that). ladders or platforms from terraria would be a good idea too, to assist with vertical movement.

[@KStarPR]

As others have suggested, crafting and particles are probably the next best option, if not make health & hunger work. What I think would be neat though, is backgrounds for aboveground with a little parallax, to add some depth. (Obviously it should be darker and more dull/faded, but you've already done that with the underground)

[@wroometh9208]

i think a good next challenge to try would be adding water and lava, mostly because that digging straight down at the end triggeted me a bit lol

[@glorpPosting]

I think durability and smelting could be cool

[@MichaelBTryn]

Woo! chunk persistence for the win!

[@ErebusPlays]

I LOVE IT! KEEP IT UPPP

[@rezdro2345]

this is looking epic!

[@fgdx]

this is a very cool project ! if you want you could add more animations to steve and texture packs and skins later on, also multiplayer would be awesome later on as well ! (even tho that would be a nightmare to code)

[@NitinKumar82889]

Add water and lava. They would absolutely fill the world enjoyment,Like currently there isn't any sort of danger but the lava will fill it with. Add title screen and the way of saying multiple worlds

[@nikolozgilles]

Yeah i get what you mean when you say coding save/load features in a game is tedious and time consuming. I made file saving code for 2 games on Scratch, one is a strategy game inspired by Empire Total War, and the other is a Football Manager kind of game. Both are very complicated, and I would say some of the best games of their genre on Scratch, and writing save and load game code for them is a pain because those games use a lot of variables and lists and I have to store them all **in one long string** and also in a way that the game can recognize which numbers belong to which lists or variables. So I made sections for each list and variable that were enclosed in square brackets [ ], and for lists, the entries in each list were separated by tildes, which are these funny squiggly characters: ~. So a list would look something like [ABC~DEF~GHI~JKL~MNO~PQRS~TUV~WXYZ~]. The way the game is loaded off of this big string is that I went over every single character, and each variable and list had a predetermined section that was baked into the game. So for example, the variable for what turn it is will always be the first section in square brackets, and the variable for how much money you have will always be the second section in square brackets, same for lists which would each have a predetermined section number, etc etc. For lists, every entry begins by putting each character together one by one into each entry. So for the first entry in that list it would be A -> AB -> ABC and when when the game hits the squiggly tilde ~, it knows that means it's the end of that particular entry, so it puts that entry into the list, and continues until it has done all the entries. Its an insanely jerry rigged solution but it works

[@LoggyDev]

Wow, this is quite an undertaking 😅😮

[@Jiglias]

the more developed this becomes the more it reminds me of blockheads

[@NotPensive]

7:45 "And the Desert will be more red" *Shows yellow*

[@DamariFergusonVids]

The Taiga biom and the tree should be darker to be more accurate.

[@Imaproshaman7]

Wow, this is really cool. Neat.

[@shadowfantasiesf8556]

Remember that Etho likes his green jungle grass.

[@AcousticJammTheGamer]

You should add blocks with different functions, such as how crafting tables allow you to craft or how furnaces smelt items, or maybe even TNT.

[@notanerd6838]

its so accurate he even added chunk errors

[@ezbanL]

Add a combat system, hostile mobs and TNT

[@Ryoharator]

if finish it the project make a mobile port or take a break and make the mobile port if your willing to do it also create a crafting system and other items and blocks of the game and also combat

[@Ryoharator]

Oh btw make a updated version of AI learns how to play Geometry dash but its on the main game not your version pls make it when your finish of the mobile version of Minecraft 2d

[@r.l.r.7550]

Mobs would be interesting to see.

[@UltronZX]

also, ur illumination logic looks awesome. but, how does it get dark when u dig downwards, when actually the light source should be set to the bottom most block u have dug till (since it is in contact with the sky)?

[@vrboneworks991]

now we need to make 3d terraria

[@krispyking2450]

working health, hunger, food and armour

[@The_stupid_AI]

Lets go codenoodle

[@BromeoWuggles]

This looks incredible just after a few episodes already, if you release it, will it support mods?

[@thefatkitty2]

maybe potential custom texture and mod support could be added. more of a out of game thing though.

[@Pestanul]

i havent brought minecraft, but ill buy this game

[@lynnwilliam]

I had to write a database page system before and it was hell on earth

[@lminimaster6082]

What about a mild 'fog-of-war'-like system which conceals the ores behind walls by making them look like stone until revealed, otherwise the player can freely see where the ores are on the entire screen.

[@octoberdx]

I think you should try a per-pixel lighting system instead of the per-block lighting system, it'd look a bit more like Terraria's

[@CodeNoodles]

I do have smooth lighting implemented, which is per vertex instead.

[@leftory684]

You should add beds so you can skip the night

[@CodingAlpha]

Great video! You should make a version for web assembly! 😃❤

[@goobertnelius]

Just checking you are only saving chunks if you interacted with them in someway. Right?

[@PhantomOfficial07]

You should probably add crafting as well as water, lava, and of course swimming

[@Levis-i7t]

You should make a Mario jump sound when you jump

[@yesntdid]

Nice video :)

[@Meowy15]

Please publish the game once it is done

[@Wagnerbaum]

When you are done with this project will it be available to the public?

[@fatigued]

next video you should add crafting and holding selected inventory item in hand and pickaxe mining animation

[@ExpiredIDK]

We can officially bedrock bridge in 2D Minecraft

[@MoreInsane96]

I would not add the Hunger bar and just keep the health like pre-Adventure update

[@UltronZX]

pretty satisfying, but it's pointless to keep illumination when u can almost see the blocks in the whole screen... u gotta lower the block transparencies

[@tanhrs8711]

I would have prefered to see a pre 1.16 version (and it would probably be easier) but anyway I hope you have fun with this project !

[@generaljoust829]

Commenting to help with the algorithm :)

[@smartside1432]

Enemies,villagers,pillagers and warden.

[@alexleo-wolf4339]

It's like paper Minecraft, but it's an actual game now instead of a playable demo! Well, not that it's a playable game yet, but it's likely going to have as many features from Minecraft as possible? Also did you seriously make a crewmate.

[@tomasbernardo5972]

What texture editor software is that?

[@miojo157._.]

try fixing the way caves generate i think they look way too noisy and tall it doenst look like the normal minecraft spaghetti caves and try to fix those spruce trees too

[@TitanLordofPizza]

seems nice

[@Flubby_]

i would suggest that you make an autojump feature like in Terraria so you don't have to jump for 1 block

[@nadishaik8523]

wow thanks for teaching us

[@FaiqAbdulsalamov]

U should add structures minecraft has a lot like a lot

[@uniderpx3]

Add durability?

[@ergsed]

hi i was trying to make some game in unity 2d and my texture (16x16) is getting blured someone know how to repair this issue?

[@CodeNoodles]

I don't use Unity, but that usually happens when your scaling filter isn't set to nearest neighbor.

[@blackimpostorisverysussy]

You should add a menu to remove the black screen

[@MrRhombus]

How bout a playable demo?

[@epsilonthedragon1249]

Well, you added mining. Logically, next up would be crafting.

[@ThatGeometryDude]

I wanna do something like this, I think Ill use Scratch even though I could do C++ or Python...

[@FootTwoPerFect]

You should add multiplayer!

[@glasscannon1231]

Is it possible to play

[@Ryan14947]

This is really cool looking, but the world is still pretty empty. Maybe its time to start adding mobs?

[@iIiLunathiIi]

awesome

[@Someone69769]

Neat!
