barcraft

"real, 3D Minecraft, purely in python"

This project is a Minecraft-inspired sandbox game built using the Ursina Engine. The game allows players to explore a generated flat area, place and destroy blocks, and interact with objects like a mini solar system.

Features

• Voxel Terrain: Generate a simple flat world with grass blocks.
• Block Placement: Add blocks of different types, including grass, stone, brick, dirt, and solar systems.
• Block Removal: Destroy blocks using the left mouse button.
• Solar System: Create a solar system block that animates an orbiting planet.
• First-Person Controlled
• Fail-safe: Teleport back to the starting point if the player falls below the map.
