How I made this INSANE Perspective Art in Minecraft

[@mrmaxmondays]

This was my favorite Secret Santa gift, couldn't be happier that it was also mine!! Easily the coolest thing I've seen in game in ages, super well done friend!!

[@squibble111]

Thank you so much! Im glad you liked it (I didnt even know you liked perspective stuff before I made it, so big coincidence as well)

This is absolutely nuts. As a casual Minecraft player for about a decade I didn’t even know these things were possible! My mind is blown and this is absolutely awesome. Great job!

[@julians3danimations]

The programming part actually did make me mad, I write really messy code so I thought I wasn't gonna get mad at it but no that actually made me mad Great job, amazing project, it's soooo cool!

[@posterboymc]

I love the unique way of using map art! I know about transparent maps but to use it as a 'viewfinder' is inspirational. Its mind-blowing how you took a 2d image of a 3d building to place a outline inside a 3d cube to make a 2d image that is actually blocks spaced out in 3d space. 🤯

[@squibble111]

Yeah, its super funky how much i had to play with the different dimensions of space. Thank you !

This is really cool. Also, as a programmer, you solution is immensely funny, but if it works, it works.

[@xXMindSoulXx]

Out of curiosity, what is a better way of doing the same thing (specifically in minecraft)

[@skythealmighty2826]

tbf, i once knew of a glados chatbot on scratch, and it was basically also that... so its not the first time ive seen it?

[@camslam8245]

Don't feel bad about not knowing how to code or doing the command blocks like you did. It's what worked for you and OBVIOUSLY you made it work well. Don't let programming snobs tell you that you did something "wrong"!!! Amazing job with the project.

[@sage5296]

Even if you do know how to program, sometimes just having the interface well integrated is more valuable. What he managed to do with that command block chain just allowed for such easy realtime feedback on each block's impact, might just be better

[@DigitalJedi]

@@sage5296Exactly, and for temporary tools like that "just works" is a lot better than "good" because it takes up less of the time you could be spending on the project. I have some horrendous python and C++ programs that do one thing I needed them to do for a project. None of them are "optimized" or "well made" but they all get the job done and took less time to make than not automating the process at all.

[@TheRedKorsar]

First of all that thing did well so there is no other questions. If it works - it works.

[@theacc_]

i’m not entirely sure if ten minutes of googling a for loop constitutes being a “programming snob”

[@camslam8245]

@@theacc_ When I say programming snobs, I meant more in general, not just this case. I also don't think that someone who doesn't know how to code could figure this out in ten minutes. Coding might come easy to you, but it's generally a fairly difficult concept for a lot of people to grasp.

[@META_Tommy]

have u ever considered trying scarpet (programming language inside carpet)? its very intuitive and easier to deal with than command blocks. u just put a txt file (.sc) in ur scripts folder and then do /script load. u can run vanilla commands from scarpet with the run function and u can use string functions like concatenation to edit them however u want. for example u could avoid all those command blocks by having a script read the scoreboard value and then put that value into the command and run it

[@squibble111]

It might be the first thing I try to do when I do get into coding. Thanks for the rec!

[@ahoy1014]

[@Lawry-nwyfu]

Your arts always make me wiggle my toes PookieSquiddy

[@FireFox2313-di6bk]

Whoa! :D

[@littlevader06]

The code you would want is basically create a variable then use it Ex Var x= (whatever you want like distance) So everytime you want the distance you can just use x for it and wont need repeating if statements

[@squibble111]

Command blocks have weird constraints that require weird workarounds

[@ruier6705]

Oh how I wish it was that easy. If Minecraft added variables to commands it would be so much easier to do stuff. Edit: I've done it! This took awhile to figure out and I had to learn macros so honestly the chain of command blocks would've by far been easier. But hey I know macros now! The main function gets the score named distance of the entity and formats it as {D:Num} then feeds it into the teleport macro and teleports an entity tagged with "point" forward equal to the score. Here's the """code""" if you're wondering. It's pretty unreadable. datapack:convert_score_to_storage: data modify storage distance value set value {D:0} execute store result storage distance value.0 float 1 run scoreboard players get @p distance function datapack:teleport with storage distance value datapack:teleport: $execute as @p run tp @e[tag=point] ^ ^ ^$(D)

[@kappasphere]

Nice video! By the way, you don't need to know any coding to get something better than making a long snake of chain command blocks. Because you can just put just put it in a text file named .mcfunction at the end, move that text file to `MyPack/data/squibble/functions/place.mcfunction` and then you can run all the commands that you have in the text file at once.

[@AnAbsolutelyRandomGuy]

If you wonder how could you do it is that (if you didnt do it that way): place block at position of shulker and about shulker with adjustable range.. about shulker use executes store function with scoreboards cause tp sucks. Oh and its not like what you did is bad. Just it could be done faster and better

I would love an easier program or way to create a schematic. I'd love to do this, although maybe not the viewfinder item frames. Too lazy to place all that glass in the end (our server has a datapack for invis item frames)

[@squibble111]

Its actually easier to do this by retexturing items to the images directly, and then using item dispkays to create the viewfinder. From there, you can use a the slightly less awful version of the painting thing i psoted in my discord server to make the same perspective art. The only detail is that tou don't get the hard outlines, but thats alright if its jot what youre looking for.

[@tobeklessheim]

Why is there a nocking sound at 9:08

[@simonwillover4175]

5:04 this sounds like a "not knowing how to use command blocks" problem rather than a "programming" problem. If you asked someone who is good with commands, they could probably fix that for you in 5 minutes.

[@simonwillover4175]

Obviously, the ideal solution would be being able to use the [distance] as a variable parameter in the command, but I don't know how to do that either. I'm not even sure if MC has "variables" for its command blocks or not.

[@simonwillover4175]

The step at 3:25 can (and should) be automated. How about writing a program to retrace the traced outline in the new perspective? It's really trivial to do actually. Plus it could use anti-aliasing and tell you where it would be potentially optimal to have some trasnparency / incomplete blocks in your image.
