I want to learn UE4 to build a Survival game >>kind of<< like Minecraft.

My first and foremost worry is digging in dirt and creating ores. Basic ones of course. The way I see it is I need to work from the ground up, literally.
Obviously Unreal Engine isn’t going to be able to randomly generate a world like Java can with Minecraft. So I have to make the entire world myself and I would assume I have to go in and add Materials used for crafting, such as Iron, Copper, Clay, and any other material I’ll be putting into the game.

Randomly generating a world isn’t a huge challenge. Simple noise generator (try FastNoise (GitHub - Auburn/FastNoiseLite: Fast Portable Noise Library - C# C++ C Java HLSL GLSL JavaScript Rust Go) ), and your own voxel implementation (marching cubes, try (Polygonising a scalar field (Marching Cubes))). Making it runtime deformable is a bit more tricky but is ultimately an optimisation exercise.
