In this video I go over the past few months of me tinkering on a Minecraft clone. I have added many different things to this clone. Some of the things I have added include: dynamic block creation, world saving/loading, OpenGL AZDO, order independent transparency, physics, 3D player controllers, commands, cubemaps, lighting, and more. I hope you enjoy my overview of how I went about recreating an iconic game, and I hope you'll join me as I create more videos diving deep on specific game mechanics in the future!
