Mines of Moria [Minecraft Level]

Miscellaneous Topics

Ok, for those who don’t know, there’s a nice little tutorial on the Minecraft Wiki on how to programmatically create levels. (In fact, there are complete editors people have made, but I prefer to generate levels through code).

Anyway, this allows for some level editing on a massive scale.

So I was watching Lord of the Rings, the scene where they are in the Dwarf City with all those pillars. This inspired me enough to write a quick level generator that created that same big room. Assuming I’m still online, you can check it out here:

A cave filled with pillars. So what do they build? Another pillar …

Here is the source that generated this level: LevelEditor.java

Keep up the good work Markus! This is a fun game.

Is it possible to export such levels into WaveFront OBJ format?

Awesomesauce. Nice. =)

I need to lock down the file format soon, right now it can change with each new version of the game.
