It is pretty hard in most languages, since few "serious" languages include any way to put a pixel on the screen. So either you use a library (not from scratch) or start making OS calls and takes some time. The languages that DO have a way to put pixels on a screen built in, usually it isn't sufficiently powerful to do 3d rendering.

@@robertstrickland9722 It seems to me that he didn't set out with an absolute goal like doing it without using the work of others at all. More like he just went a level deeper than the others. I mean otherwise you would have to not use any C libraries not made by yourself which would make this take far longer (if possible at all). Then you could complain that he's even using C in the first place, which is higher-level than x86 (or whatever his architecture is) assembly. Then you could say that all the instructions in assembly are machine opcodes and you're using work done by the developers of assembly for your architecture. All right then, "making Minecraft in machine language". But wait, you will also invariably be making system calls made by the developers of your operating system and thus you have to write your own. What about the kernel? Even if you write your own kernel, you're still using a CPU (as well as peripherals) with an architecture made by others. So in the end, if you don't want to use the work of others at all, you will have to make your own CPU, with its own architecture, from scratch, mining the materials for the transistors out of the dirt with no tools. In other words, you would have to play IRL Minecraft. I'm evidently not one to speak loudly about how seriously other people need to be taken but I think "not using shortcuts" was more of a tongue-in-cheek statement.

It's not hard at all to add an ore into MC. What is hard though is deciding how that ore should be valuable and if it should even be in the game in the first place.

@@arnox4554 while that might be true loads of mods have added copper ore and placed it well enough around iron tier but gives you more options within the mod along with people wanting more ores in the games and more blocks, Minecraft does need constantly a new influx of new blocks and ores to keep the game fresh

@@Prince_-vu4wu Yeah but it's very different when you're working on the actual main game itself where your changes will not just be permanently incorporated into all MC games (without mods of course), but also will be incorporated in all future versions of the game.

@@arnox4554 true but it's something the community has wanted for a while plus it's adding new varients of blocks which can bring a lot of new fun things and i know a lot of people are really hyped for it being added only thing i'm not happy for is wanting to cry while in caves more from getting jump scared

That's because school does next to nothing for you. The only way to become proficient is to actually code. Masters degrees in particular are a huge waste of time; there is no comparison in terms of skill level when comparing someone who was coding for 5 years versus someone who was going to school to learn to code for five years. The one thing I've seen college grads have an advantage on is *sometimes* understanding 3 dimensional calculus and more often a better understanding of data structures and when to use them (although that usually becomes "when to use hashmap"). The big takeaway is you don't actually go to school to learn to code: you go to school to learn to college/university. You learn theory and become a "computer scientist" instead of a software engineer. The amount of code people who have wasted their time at school have actually put out is next to nothing. A highschooler can be taught to code at a professional level, especially if he's being mentored by the previous generation of engineers; college will get you fired and keep you away from high paying jobs if you treat it as anything other than a ticket past the hr firewall.

@@Akalos1 Well it could be useful for your resume

I remember when I went to school for computer science. I had more skill than anyone there because I live and breathe code since 1990. People going to school for it limit their exposure to programming to only classroom learning. However, programming requires a lot more than that, it requires one to learn how to use the tools given to solve a grand problem. One of the issues I see is schools focus too much on OOP design that takes the user out of problem solving and more on how to think abstractly or design patterns(ie. the terrible software engineering class). I remember all my projects were so well written and unique that my professors didn't believe or trust my abilities at first, until my senior capstone project that they saw me design and implement over the course of the semester. To get to this level is going to take more than just what you do in school or at work try working on projects that will build your skill overtime.

@@Akalos1 that's exactly what I think

@@eeeesyywuwiz2836 I mean depends on the job. When it comes down to a regular programming job they could give a rats ass if you have a master's if you can't code. If he's going into computer science research then yes it would be very helpful

Honestly, if most game developers actually optimised their code things would be a lot better

@@RobotronSage as someone with a potato pc I completely agree with that. The problem is that most of the time when you optimize something you get 1 fps more.

“These people are using game engines, I’ll do it from scratch” * imports graphics library * imports 3D math library

@@Maric18 My point was that, say, Unity doesn’t actually help much with creating a Minecraft-like game either and you still need to write most of the code he did. Using C equals showing off. You are writing the same but way more verbose code than what you would write in C++ or C#. You would still generate and sort meshes, write shaders and load textures, but with less time spent on plumbing. If you bothered enough to code mesh generators in C, could just a as well write your own vector lib with SSE assembly. Kinda pointless, but about as pointless as using C for personal gamedev when C++ exists. Not necessarily “modern C++”, most of which is cancer.
