Hello!

I’m making a voxel based game, and would like to know how capable UE4 is doing just that? Is there any way to “attach” 2 “blocks” together, so that they would for a single physics collisionbox, and not fall apart when force is applied (Unless |forece of block A - the force of block B| >= X) Thanks!

If you just wanted to do a small test, “Welding” is supported in UE4-

Welding Physics Bodies will make multiple bodies interact as one, as well as lock together the Skeletal Mesh Joints they are associated with. To Weld one Physics Body to another

For anything as detailed as Minecraft, you could look at integrating/copying existing free code. But the short answer is no, it’s not possible because it’s not coded into the engine already. Setting up 10 000 physics cubes might be slow… well, maybe it’s possible.
