NEW: Save the game to your cartridge's SD card!
Requires the N64 SDK.
Download and build libcart from https://github.com/devwizard64/libcart
The Mine64 Makefile expects libcart to be available at ../libcart.
Mine64 uses the textures and font from Minecraft Classic 0.30. To build Mine64, you need to extract two files from your own copy of Minecraft Classic as follows:
- Install Minecraft Classic 0.30 from the Minecraft launcher.
- Find
.minecraft/versions/c0.30_01c/c0.30_01c.jarin your Minecraft folder. - Extract
default.pngandterrain.pngfrom the jar file into the Mine64 project directory. - Create a directory called
assetsin the Mine64 project directory. - Install Python dependencies with
pip install -r requirements.txt. - Run
python tex2c.py terrain.pngandpython font2c.py default.png.
This should generate two header files in the assets directory.
You will need Wine to run the SDK on a modern operating system. On Linux (or WSL), run the following commands to build Mine64:
export ROOT=Z:\\path\\to\\ultra
export N64KITDIR=Z:\\path\\to\\n64kit
mkdir -p build/ff
wine cmd.exe /c build.bat
The rom can be found at build/mine64.n64.
- The world consists of a 8x8 grid of "columns", each split into 4 vertical chunks of 8x8x8 blocks each.
- For each chunk a greedy scanning algorithm merges adjacent block faces with the same texture, to reduce the number of quads that need to be rendered.
quads.hcontains the vertex data for all possible shapes and orientations of merged quad. These quads are translated into place for rendering.- Display lists for each column are recomputed every time a block changes in the column.
- Columns outside the camera view are culled by excluding their display lists from the main display list.
Mine64 uses nowl's Perlin noise implementation in C: https://gist.github.com/nowl/828013
Mine64 uses devwizard's libcart library to access files on the cartridge.
The files in the src/ff and include/ff directories were copied from the libcart project.
