112Craft

A feature-rich Minecraft clone written in Python.

Overview

Minecraft is one of the most popular games of all time, and one that I have played on and off for at least a decade now.

lorem ipsum dolor sit amet So, when I needed a term project for my introductory programming class, I figured I could make my own version of the game.

I then proceeded to spend the semester developing "the greatest term project in 112 history." It was incredibly overkill, but I had a blast making it and it is still one of my favorite projects to date.

• Procedural generation, including:

Code

The source code for the project is somewhat outdated but can be found on my GitHub page here.

Notably, multiplayer no longer works because Minecraft accounts are now Microsoft accounts.
