ScratchCraft
I don't know, some sort of Minecraft-esque engine for Scratch.
It wouldn't go so well, due to OVER 9000 LINES OF CODE, but think of the idea.
A 3D generated map, 8x the surface area of Earth.

Re: ScratchCraft
Oh hi me, it's me from above. Haha
I'm not suggesting a project be made, but just think of the idea of something of this magnitude being duplicated in scratch.

Re: ScratchCraft
You'd need a language that can hold much more than scratch can.

Re: ScratchCraft
2d versions of minecraft have already been made
As for 3d, a wireframe version is probably possible with the flash player turbo mode but Scratch can't take images and put them on the sides of the cubes (requires skewing the image) which basically limits you to only using wireframes.

Dude what I said wasn't even technical.
Some good minecraft 2d projects have been made, such as this one http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/SeanCanoodle/1579329
Ok so current "3D" projects are just skeletons called wireframes, Scratch can't fill in the sides of the blocks. Minecraft first builds the skeletons of the cubes, then puts pictures on the sides, scratch can't do this. A version of minecraft in Scratch is probably possible using only wireframe cubes.
3D example http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/AddZero/347789
The flash player has a turbo mode that lets it run super fast. You can activate it by pressing shift in the green flag.
That is as simple as I can say things.

Re: ScratchCraft
I understood all of that, but could you define wireframe? (Sorry for my stupidity 
)

Its the only kind of 3D Scratch can generate on its own. A wireframe is just a bunch of lines that make the outline of the shape.

OBJECTION!
DarthPickley and AddZero are working on sensing the dimensions of the wireframes to autoshade simple 3-dimensional shapes, like CUBES.

Re: ScratchCraft
That doesn't address the issue, you can't put images on to the sides of cubes, I didn't say you couldn't fill them in with a colour. Minecraft doesn't draw on to the sides of cubes, it takes a flat picture and pastes the picture on to the cube's sides. Scratch can't do this.
I think while it is possible to fill in the sides of cubes it would take too longer to render even in turbo mode to make anything useful.
