MCRewrite

An open source Minecraft Java Edition rewrite in C++ using raylib. This branch version is rd-132211.

TODO for rd-132211

Lighting (probably using a depth buffer)
Optimizations for camera ray hitting
Maybe change the camera FOV as we are using just a random value rn 💀
Add frustum
Fix Z-fighting of the block face selector

What do we want it to be?

This is meant to be a 1:1 user experience rewrite/decompilation (the game look and gameplay must match) but the code may and does not match with the original as we are using modern C++ features and trying to improve the original code structure.

How did we do that?

We just decompiled a Java Minecraft binary and tried to rewrite it in C++ but with our own modifications.

Is it better?

Yeah, rd-132211 runs at ~2500-3000 fps on my Windows 10 instead of 300 and you can ideally see no difference between this and the Java version.

Running

Keep in mind that we are not publishing the game's assets so you have to find them yourself. You should place them into the assets directory which should be near the executable.

You can download a binary from the releases tab or build it yourself.

Building

git clone https://github.com/JaanDev/MCRewrite.git --recursive
cd MCRewrite
cmake -S . -B build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build

Or just open the folder in VS Code/Visual Studio (don't forget the CMake extension for VS Code) and build it from there.
