The minecraft in Scratch

minecraft
Minecraft is a highly appealing game that has captured the hearts of many gamers.
Firstly, Minecraft provides players with an open-world sandbox environment, allowing them to explore and create to their heart’s content. This freedom to build and explore has been a significant factor in its popularity.
Moreover, Minecraft is a game that encourages creativity and problem-solving skills. The game’s survival mode requires players to gather resources, build shelter, and defend themselves from monsters. The creative mode allows players to build anything they can imagine with unlimited resources.
Furthermore, Minecraft is a social game that encourages players to work together to achieve their goals. Players can join forces to build large structures, explore dangerous territories, and fight bosses together.
Overall, Minecraft has many attractive qualities, such as open-world gameplay, creative freedom, and social interaction. Let’s explore how we can express these appeals through Scratch programming!

A game in which you use a pickaxe to break down blocks and dig more and more holes, just like Minecraft. Miner Cat. (Miner means miner.)
The blocks you dig can be cashed in to save money, which can be exchanged for items such as pickaxes and colas.
The amount of money redeemed depends on the type of block.
You will lose HP when you get hit by lava on the way, and when your HP reaches zero, the blocks you have will be reduced to zero.
Expand your cave, strengthen your items, and aim for lower levels!

Man, this feels like something godly. Like, what else can you do besides sing? This game on Scratch introduces techniques that totally change the usual expectations for online Scratch games. Just looking at those techniques makes my eyes pop, and the fact that it's fun to play too? This thing allows for a massive multiplayer experience, living up to the MMO name. You know, with Scratch online, we usually use cloud variables, but there's this limitation where you can only use up to 10 per project. So the conventional online games tend to have around 10 players max. But, like, there are about 60 players connected at once here? How the heck did he pull that off?

He says that he coded it originally. The idea is based on Paper Minecraft, but the code is completely original.
The processing is also very fast.
The operation is a little different, so please enjoy it with the following reference.

This online paper minecraft is available in Japanese and English.
Since various people are working in real time, you can enjoy Scratch as if you were playing with strangers on a Minecraft server.
It would be sad if you destroy buildings or other structures created by unknown scratchers, so you will enjoy it if you focus on creation and not destruction.

"No way, it's totally impossible."
"Wha? I breezed right through it!"
This game called Mini Minecraft has gotten mixed reviews. While a good number of people claim it's "super hard", others brag about finishing it easily. There's no save function, so you always start from scratch. But try finding your way to the goal and figuring out the path. I'm leaving you with no hints!

How to play
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Movement | A D key or LEFTRIGHT key |
| Jump/rise | W key or UP key |
| Fall | S key or DOWN key |
| Digging blocks with a nickel | Space key or mouse click |
| Switching Weapons | 1 or 2 keys |
| Fire a bow | Spacebar or mouse click (when equipped with a bow) |
| Instantaneous movement to the ground | Press the T key three times consecutively |
| Automatic Mining Mode Switching | Click on the Mining Mode button |
The most striking feature of Cube Miner VII is its intricate biome generation system! The game world generates randomly, but what's particularly fascinating is the "biome switching mechanic." When you reach certain depths, not only does the background change, but the BGM shifts too, along with enemy types, spawn rates, and even ore varieties. Plus, when you enter an "underwater biome," the physics actually change—player movement and gravity switch to underwater mechanics. With over 150 different combinations possible, every playthrough offers a fresh adventure. That takes some serious programming chops to pull off!

In this game, battling the Wither is the main thing. You move around smoothly using the keyboard and attack with the space key. On mobile, there's an attack button, but it might be a bit trickier to handle. Did you know? Hamukatsu set a record by clearing it in just 21 seconds! Pretty awesome, right? Hey, everyone should totally share their own records in the comments for the creator to see!

How to play
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Movement | WASD keys or arrow keys |
| Mining/bow firing | Space key or mouse click |
| Open Map | P key |
| Teleport to the surface | Press the T key three times in succession |
| Tool switching | 1 key (pickaxe) or 2 keys (bow) |
| Automatic Mining Switchover | Click on the auto-mining icon |
The biggest standout feature of Cube Miner Infinity has to be its biome generation system! In this game, the terrain actually changes as you dig deeper horizontally and vertically.
Looking at the code, it's constantly calculating the player's depth and horizontal position to determine in real-time "which biome should I be in right now?" For instance, at depths between 500 and 3600, you get cave biomes, and when you go even deeper past 12000, you hit desert and ice biomes.
What's really cool is that each biome comes with its own dedicated ores, enemies, and even background music. There's even this neat setup where once you go beyond depth 80000, you reach the final area called "The Abyss" and trigger the final boss battle. It's pretty technically impressive how they've created such a diverse world using just simple coordinate calculations!

The most fascinating aspect of this Scratch project lies in its world generation system! The makegencode function creates an infinitely expanding mining world by combining randomness with patterns.
Specifically, it uses a probability-based system to populate the Section array with 19 different block types (0-18). The types of ores that appear change based on depth, while a separate Section_MiscObjects array generates special objects like liquids and torches.
This combo of world generation and data processing gives the game that sense of exploration and endless possibility. No two worlds are ever identical, yet there's still underlying logic - that's the essence of what makes roguelike games so captivating!
