Lets build blockworld with Voxels

So, this project is imitating minecraft but with isometrics. Thankfully voxels are solved problem and there exists handy tools to create world: Sylan’s Godot voxel addon/plugin.

After few hours of toying around i learned how to add plugin/addon. You can either run prebuild Godot Engine that has tools build in or add binaries as GDExtension.

But there is a problem when i try to add color to automagically generated blocks:

meshers/blocky/voxel_blocky_model.cpp:347 - Not implemented

Well that became clear fast:

⚠️ Per-Block Color Customization is not supported out-of-the-box in VoxelBlockyLibrary.

god damn it.

we must do this old way:

So here we have

• textures
• material library
• cube models that use material library
• library FOR cube models
• and terrain that uses them.
  
  After long debugging i read docs and understood that we also need VOXELVIEWER so that cubes are generated.
  
  I also implemented jumping:
  

# Apply gravity or jump
if is_on_floor():
  target_velocity.y = 0
  if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept"):  # Space by default
target_velocity.y = jump_velocity
  else:
    target_velocity.y -= fall_acceleration * delta

End result:
