What is minecraft about?
I have seen the website and stuff but I have never played it.
I know absolutely everything on Scratch, from MESH to 3D to Infinite Scrolling

lol you probably know more about Scratch than me  . You're in.

Watch a video about Minecraft on Youtube to learn more.

Edit: I'll be uploading what I have of the terrain generator soon.

Kinda.

I don't know- we don't have a list creator, so it'd be hard to make it infinite.

Actually, I can't really think of anything for anyone to do xD. Once I upload the terrain generator, I'll probably have something though.

You can make several terrains with just one list. You just need to know how many square get stamped in a screen. Add a variable that says "terrain#", and make it so that the first stamp is

item (terrain# * "number of stamps per screen") of [List] list.

I actually did that in my "Terrain Drawer" Project

Alright, I have something for you to do, then- could you finish the terrain generator? It'll require a bit of a revamp, but not much. It's all in the block sprite. I'm going to go ahead and upload what I've got for you. To make it generate new terrain, set FirstTime? to 1.

Minecraft Collab V.001

If that's too much for you, just say

Have the terrain generator generate grass, dirt, and stone all the way to the bottom of the screen, and then, if possible, make it infinite (not scrolling, but going to the edge of the screen generates new terrain.

We're also going to need a block-placing script thing so when a new part of the map is loaded, blocks you placed and deleted will be shown (or not shown if deleted  ). I was thinking it could add the x and y to the list when a new block is placed, and when a block is deleted, it'll check if the list contains the x and y of the block that the cursor is on (the cursor is the cross).

I made a better and easier script. Im almost finished with it

Awesome! Will it be able to load parts of the world and generate infinitely? (It's fine if it can't  .)

Just wait till its finished xD

This is a pretty good version, probably about as good as it gets in Scratch.

Making something better than this is hard because tile based scrolling can't be done effectively in scratch. So that kind of limits what you can improve on.

Basically all this is for 2d is a tile map editor, you should be able to mod old tile map generators to make this. One such creator would be my cat level creator.

Thanks for showing that to me- I hadn't seen that before.

But what I'm thinking doesn't use scrolling, but when you touch the edges of the stage, it generates a new part of the map (if you haven't been there before) or loads an old part.
