In this project, we're looking at adding some simple and easy biomes to differentiate different areas on the planet. This goes a long way to help increase the natural look of our worlds.

We'll take a look at Whittaker's biome types and implement a simple but effective system for randomly generating temperature and precipitation values across the planet. Those can, in turn, be used by something like the shader to differentiate areas in the world.

We're using Three.js and JavaScript for this tutorial, and if you're new to the series make sure to check out thhe rest of the playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRL3Z3lpLmH3PNGZuDNf2WXnLTHpN9hXy

Follow me on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/iced_coffee_dev Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beer_and_code/ Github: https://github.com/simondevyoutube/ Here I tried to code Minecraft using JavaScript and Three.js, completely from scratch, to try to fix the problems from the previous implementation. The goal was to try to improve on the previous version, was was mostly a start project to learn JavaScript and three.js. In the previous implementation, I used instancing to get around draw call limits and complexity around merging geometry, but this time I just bit the bullet and did the actual work. I move from there by integrating chunking in the world, followed by multithreading using Chromes module workers extension, which dramatically improved performance. I investigated various ways to texture, wrote custom shaders to atlas all the textures together in a simple way using texture arrays. From there I moved on to using perlin noise for a full, infinite procedural world. Standard perlin noise works great for basic rolling hills, but you need to do operations on it like looping for fractal brownian motion in order to get that detail and different environments. That gives us a procedural world, from there we covered how to procedurally create foliage using signed distance functions and l-systems, which was covered in a previous tutorial. Finally, we went ahead and used layers of perlin noise to create biomes and different areas in the world, as you see in the video. Source will is available on github, or will be when I clean it up.
