Making Minecraft Spherical
SMRTR summary
Blocky Planet maps Minecraft-style cubic voxels onto a spherical world, creating a fully destructible planet with 20+ block types. The project tackles unique challenges like mapping a 2D grid onto a sphere and maintaining consistent block sizes across the planet's radius. Implemented in Unity, this tech demo uses specialized structures including wedge-like sectors and concentric shells to organize blocks while ensuring gravity always points toward the planet's center.
