Minecraft Mandelbrot Set!! but its World Generation

[@pncka]

I'd honestly be down for a map of a giant mandelbrot continent, with islands scattered around as it gets further out.

[@lanse012]

Honestly I want to, I just am poor and cant afford a good server yet. Maybe one day, once I can, itl be open on my discord server

[@Maliniasredmask]

@@lanse012 oh i can do that for you! i have some freinds who would be willing to do that!

[@Maliniasredmask]

@@lanse012 in fact maybe you can come and help us make a minecraft world that makes this possible? id love to hear your say on this, because we are making this cool floating islands project and i was wanting to spice it up with just a few mods but... if it would be floating islands mandlebrot that would be COOL!

This is really cool! I love it generating in real time.

at first, I was really sad I needed it to do that, but the second I started watching it, and while it was working, I was pretty happy lol

I was confused for a few seconds because i was expecting the german bread called mandelbrot. :D

[@lanse012]

oh, that's funny, I didn't know Mandelbrot was a bread as well! Maybe I could add that one to Minecraft as well :p

Criminally underrated.

[@mo2cubing]

If a scale of 1 means it's 5 blocks wide, then a scale of 10 million would mean it's 50 million blocks across. Since a Minecraft world goes 30 million blocks horizontally from spawn in every direction, making it 60 million x 60 million, the Mandelbrot set at max scale *could* fit with 10 million blocks to spare in each direction. That could be a pretty fun map to play, especially since most of the land height changes will most likely be smoothed out by the increase in scale.

[@lanse012]

yes, just my only problem is that the fractals aren't centered on 0,0, but instead they are in positive coordinates. once I fix this, I could make the max size a little bigger

[@mo2cubing]

Niiice. Wait. I have to propose this to the host my friend group's annual SMP.

3 months to make this? This deserves more popularity.

[@lanse012]

2.5 of the 3 months was trying to figure out world generation code but that never worked, so another week for making a custom world modifier, then like 10 minutes for the mandelbrot. It was quite a journey lol

You may be interested in Lyapunov fractals. I would recommend checking out the wikipedia page.

[@lanse012]

thank you! that looks amazing! I tried coding it but so far its only giving me a rectangle lol I will hopefully have it done and ready by my next video!

Imagine a Mandelbrot dimension or smaller Biomes :)

[@stellsy3496]

there exists math equation parsing and solving libraries, you could simply add a command that inputs a string that is the equation in the format the equation library takes (this is a standard thing for the most part) and use that input, calling the equation library's solve given input function for the calculation part internally after the user has added a function. exp4j is the first i could find that seems to do that

[@lanse012]

the Mandelbrot equation took about 10 minutes of the 3 months I spent working on this, and I recently spent another 10 minutes adding 2 more fractal presets which I will be making another video on soon. By any chance, do you know how many fractals it has though? If it has a whole ton of them, that might be really useful to me

[@stellsy3496]

@@lanse012 it was a reply to the user defined fractal part, its a you can give it an equation and itll solve it library, i didnt look too deep into it so idk if it does complex numbers. it was more the idea that parsing and solving equations has been done many times so youll probably find a library that does that whole part for you. and then you can apply the holomorphic dynamics with that solver at its core, allowing the user to define their own equations to turn into a fractal like you mentioned

[@5uperM]

nice.

[@williamfox4235]

Dude this is incredibly cool

[@Ishan_verma]

Nice work dude. looks cool

[@rendarcrow]

i support this level of nerd heights. have you heard of the dougherty set? p.s. you could use biome temperatures as unstable variables

[@lanse012]

i looked it up, and woah that looks awesome! idk how it works yet but i’ll learn it and add it

[@Boredman567]

Is there a way to set the vertical scale (and/or vertical offset), aside from changing the iterations? That way you can change the height independent of the level of detail.

[@lanse012]

I could add commands to change the initial offset (currently its Y 63). Other than that, maybe I could add a smoothing value for it but the height is mainly dictated by the iterations. does that sound good, or did you have something else in mind? I can add that by the next update coming out in a few days

[@penultimatechimera7981]

could have an offset value (like you said!) and a multiplier setting? which could allow for the Mandelbrot (and other fractals like it) to also build down instead of up if the player wants it to would suggest something like a "maximum height" but clamping infinity to that probably wouldn't return anything... could have it tied to the maximum number of iterations though! a Multiplier feels like the best option to me

[@lanse012]

@@penultimatechimera7981 I added an option to make it go down to make valleys instead of mountains if that was what you meant, I will release the video today probably.

You generated a shape/hole in the ground in the form of a first iteration mandelbrot set, not a mandelbrot set.

[@Spaceman0025]

Only the black area is a hole, it makes the land around it taller for the number of iterations.

[@lanse012]

you can clearly see the iterations in my newest vid, it has the option to paint it onto the world instead of using it as a heightmap.
