Compiling

Requirements:

• LLVM/Clang (the project uses clang-specific extensions).
• SDL2 library and headers, which are provided in the corresponding External.zip.
• If you're using Linux, grab the library with this command instead: sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

Instructions:

1. Clone or download the repository and rename top directory to "MinecraftC/" if it's not already
2. (Windows, MacOS) Drag the "Libraries" and "Include" folders from External.zip into "MinecraftC/"
3. Open the terminal in "MinecraftC/"
4. Run the following command, according to your OS:
   • Windows: ./BuildScripts/Windows.bat
   • MacOS: sh BuildScripts/MacOS.sh
   • Linux: sh BuildScripts/Linux.sh
5. The binary should have been exported to "MinecraftC/Output"
6. (MacOS) Optionally, you may sign the app by running sh ./BuildScripts/MacOS-Sign.sh <DeveloperID>
   • You can find your developer id by running security find-identity

Modifying Resources

If you're creating a mod and want to change or add any .png resouces, then follow these steps to embed the files into .h files:

1. Put all .png files that you're modifying or adding into "MinecraftC/Tools/Input" (you'll see that the original resources already exist there)
2. Run python3 PNGEmbedder.py
   • You will need to run pip3 install pillow if you do not already have PIL installed
3. All .png files in all subdirectories should have been automatically converted to .h files and placed into MinecraftC/Resources/

Known Issues

• Known bugs are listed here.
• There is no survival mode, it was initially implemented in the beta stage of this project however removed for a few different reasons:
  • Very buggy and slowed down development,
  • Not compatible with the beta raytracing mode,
  • By removing it, this project avoids issues with the EULA by making the game, in essence, a mod.
