I've created an Infinite Voxel World, similar to Minecraft

Thanks!

very nice and impressive work
just one question is the lighting dynamic? and are you using LPV ?

In the video, it was all dynamic lighting without any GI.

As someone who loves these types of games and have been playing around with procedural generation in ue4 I would be interested in seeing how you set up your blueprints. As it is, I don’t think minecraft even works that smoothly using any custom textures when going between chunks.

There chunk base is 32? block grid. If memory serves me right I think its 16x16 x 128? in the overworld (total height i think is 255) but thats still something like 32,000 and some odd blocks per chunk by defualt.

In the video, I used a chunk size of 20x20x70 if I remember correctly.

By the way, why did you use Blueprint and not C++? I know programming, and frankly those fat Blueprint nodes kinda put me off, yet I still find myself using more Blueprint than actual code.
I think it’s because Blueprint is programming, too. But in a such a different why that just makes me curious…

It was a nice challenge

Looks like you recreated minecraft in UE. Tell me, what’s the performance compared to actual minecraft? because if it doesn’t make a major difference, that’d be really great.

In that video, the performance is roughly similar or slightly worse than minecraft on a good GPU. In the current state of the project, the performance is, well, let’s say at least 10 times better

How I can download this ?

For the packaged game there is a free download link in the video description.

I ran your example but not only was the menu rather laggy, but moving mouse around had severe lag to point of needing to exit. I was surprised given statements about it running well regardless of size of world, etc.

What should this take to run smoothly ?

Maybe you had other stuff run in the background? How’s your GPU doing in other UE4 games?

It runs wonderfully on the Oculus. Amazing work Fella!

Awesome! My goal with this is actually to make it an awesome VR game. Just having some problems with getting a devkit.

If anyone knows how to talk to valve to get a vive pre, I would love to hear about it I sent them a mail two weeks ago, but I don’t even know if they read it.
