for your terrain generation, you could do like minecraft: generate shape, water below y=62, then caves, ores, terrain (grass, sand) and decoration (trees, villages, structures etc). of course i miss some but you get it, there's some explaination vids out on yt about minecraft's worldgen. anyway good work man, hope they add texture scaling parameters (maybe soon since doing it in opengl is super easy, roblox uses opengl btw)

[@explodinghammeronthe17thof36]

Eh roblox uses mainly dirext11 or something it's like an automatic setting between direct10 direct11 opengl ans Vulkan but vulkan only works on like phones and 99% of the time direct(11 or 10) gets chosen, when opengl is then those like outlined parts that are filled eith transparency are dotted instead of actually veing Trans parent, models too close to the camara clip and be invisible half way through reaching the end of the screen and the performance is 10x worse

[@HazmattyGamingYT]

The fact that you made it open source is great. I remember when I first started scripting things like that genuinely helped me learn so much so fast, so it's great that you're doing that :D

[@JssNinja]

Holy fuck he uploaded😱 I thought I'd never see the day

[@elektro860]

If roblox adds shaders then your project could actually be publishable, but without them it will be very hard to add more block textures and everything related to rendering

you are completely wrong

This is looking amazing!! I'm really looking forward to seeing what this project will become in the future.

[@Kylotroopertk421]

There was game called voxels that was amazing. You can look up videos on it. But it was prob one of the best Minecraft inspired roblox games. They weren’t even going hard on copying Minecraft there was a lot of unique features. Sadly it got taken down.

[@John_Broken-screen_Doe]

Roblox does support nearest upscaling, look in the documentation for how to enable it

[@MopBK]

I can't find anything about it. Can you send a link?

[@John_Broken-screen_Doe]

@@MopBK I can't send a link because youtube will delete my comment but it is the property of ImageLabel called ResampleMode. The documentation for this reads: "By default, the image smooths out texture when displayed on the screen larger or smaller than its size in texture memory. When set to Enum.ResamplerMode.Pixelated, the image preserves the sharp edges of pixels." Additionally: Default 0 Bilinear filtering of the four near pixels in the image. Pixelated 1 Nearest neighbor filtering of the closest pixel in the image.

[@John_Broken-screen_Doe]

@@MopBK I can't but you can set the ImageLabel property called ResampleMode to Enum.ResamplerMode.Pixelated to change it to nearest upscaling

[@John_Broken-screen_Doe]

@@MopBK I can't but you can set the property called ResampleMode of an ImageLabel to Enum ResamplerMode Pixelated to use nearest upscaling

[@John_Broken-screen_Doe]

Also this is all in "Engine API Reference" in the docs

[@FairlyAverageYT]

Loved this project sm man, sad to see its slowly dying 💔

[@realbef]

yo uh, you know as a bandaid fix you can just upscale the texture to 1024x1024 per block (ik thats alot but like if roblox adds the nearest neighbour upscaling or whatever it would not be needed anymore) just for like a polishing up temporarily

[@explodinghammeronthe17thof36]

Erm wtf! He literally stated he used a atlas texture and that's already like 1024p

[@realbef]

@@explodinghammeronthe17thof36 i mean per block as in each block has 1024p

[@chickenfordays4543]

Wow I can't believe this is open sourced

[@Brambes05]

I absolutly love this project! I have been thinking on making something simular. i have a question though How exactly do you plan on storing the world so that you can rejoin the same world? will you just have the players join the same jobId or will you store all chunk data in datastores? i think both options are not ideal because having them join the same jobId would prevent you from updating the world to newer versions and storing the chunk data in datastores seems not feasable because it would be to much data. a simple world in Minecraft for example can take up megabytes.

This is pretty dope, I might convert my terrain generator to also use editable meshes

[@throwawayname420]

I'm not a programmer however I'll just give my thoughts on a few things, so make of them what you will. One of my concerns, seeing as the terrain has no collision, is that the camera can phase through it. Sure, around the player there are parts that have collision on, but what about a random nearby mountain? If I zoom out will it be able to enter it? Theoretically it should, so that's something that will need fixing if it works like I think it does. Another thing, again, not a programmer, but I believe you can upscale the texture map in Photoshop using the Nearest Pixel scaling mode and not have to wait for Roblox to add upscaling customizability. Last thing I want to mention is that the old, more bare bones, textures I feel fit Roblox better. Now, of course, this is a preference thing, but I figured I'd mention it either way. Anyway, congrats on what you've made so far and I wish you as little headaches as possible during whatever the next thing you'll start working on is!

[@twonix]

@@throwawayname420 1. The camera lacking collisions can be fixed with some code, but I didn't give it a second thought since I'd been viewing it as a first person game 2. Two issues with upscaling in photoshop, the max size Roblox accepts for EditableImage would be 1024x1024 (current atlas is 64x64) which wouldn't be enough. Secondly, The purpose of having a small EditableImage is strictly for performance. 3. The textures are temporary placeholders

[@cdredstone]

You can actually change the image resample mode for the ImageLabel, the options being Default and Pixelated (pixelated is probably None)

[@looper59]

I've been waiting so long for this..

[@DangOldRegularOld]

Crazy impressive!

[@TheSkyGamez]

1:10 you could get around the blurry textures issue by using multiple meshes per chunk and multiple atlases

[@RuggedStone064]

Only real, and experienced programmers understand the excitement in 2nix' voice. Because the feeling of finally getting something right, and working after a LONG LONG LONG LONG time of working on it, is amazing.

[@jeffbezos7976]

Bro doesn’t post in almost 2 years (on his main) decides to pull up with Roblox Minecraft content

[@AAdielperetz]

There is already game that called "miniblox" and it the best recreation of Minecraft without using the same code (like eaglercraft) so.. it would be better to change the name, so you don't run into any issues. But anyway the game works great 👍

[@exolyne.]

one optimization you can consider is greedy meshing, which is merging same blocks together in result for fewer polygon counts. it may not be worth it given its likely a minor optimization in your case, but it could probably allow for better performance with high chunk draw distances.

[@twonix]

@@exolyne. Greedy meshing is very good for performance, but wouldn't work with editable images

[@exolyne.]

@@twonix couldn't you create a new editableimage for each block side? im not too familiar with how it works so i might have said nonsense

7:26 crazy i was also on vacation

[@zoeythedoubletrouble-4254]

What is love⁉️ 😇 (yay he posted) This makes me want to make a game myself on Roblox especially with the newer features they put out

[@CopperCogStudio]

I am not sure if using editable meshes improves performance, since even though you removed those faces, roblox already has backface culling, so they are not even rendered anyways.

[@twonix]

It reduces instance count

[@CopperCogStudio]

@@twonix Are you using a single mesh for everything?, Also I am not sure about the collision system, since stuff moving at a high velocity might suffer from a thing called tunneling and clip through, before the collisions can be done.

[@require._]

This is really crazy cause i just started making my own recently because your old video and today ive been working on better generation with that 3d noise but i still dont understand how to squish the noise map

havent watched the full video but you can fix the blurry textures by (extremely shitty way) using surface guis then using image labels and settings their ResampleMode to pixelated. they really need to add this to textures
