Ahoy World! Minecraft - Curvature using GLSL Shaders (Inception-Style)

Here's a quick view of what my Minecraft world looks like. :) This is using the GLSL Shader mod produced by daxnitro over at the Minecraft Forums.

A lot of people say that they'd, understandably, prefer it if the world curved the other way. Here's some examples of that. Mocked up examples of a slight curve, a medium curve and a more... drastic curve. :)

And here's a video of that mock-up. A snowy little planet! :)

In this video I'm using (through daxnitro's modification) depth of field, waving wheat and trees and a modified version of the basic curvature shader by daxnitro to produce an Inception-esque world.

If I had a better computer this thing could look beautiful with full anti-aliasing and a 256x256 texture pack with bump-maps and specular lighting. Hot dang. :)

Okay, this looks pretty cool. I hope this works when 1.9 is out! This is how the Minecraft world should look like in my opinion. I mean you wake up in a strange place this would just add to the "Waking up in a new/ mystical world" aspect, for me at least!

I like this, adds a bit of surrealism to the game.

@RMcDChannel - to do that he would have to rebuild the game. technically the land is infinite (though if you go too far the physics start to break until you crash) thus there is no way to go all the way around.

Not so much a fan of the I'm-inside-a-Dyson-sphere thing... different strokes though, it's interesting and nice that you found something unique that appeals to you. :)

[arand]

is this also avaible the other way arround so it looks like earth?

[Waffles_Syrup]

i wonder how far it would curve if that one extremely far render distance mod is compatible with this

[TheDjordje]

where can i find this shader and how to install it???

[SQLinjected]

@ahoyworld Not near the end it's not

[Lemur]

When I try this, my clouds don't follow the curvature...

[Genuigr]

I like that, because it looks like you'Re in a room. Gives me a feeling of security

[MrZathaniel]

wouldn't it make more sense to have it curve the other way?

[TheFilipFonky]

First 3 links in description lead to an error.

[Davo_]

Why is it.. a "shader"? doesn't make sense :S

[TheDeadlyKind]

Like the inside of a Dyson sphere almost.

[Cheesepuff]

These links really need to be fixed, I've been trying so damn hard to track down these shader files!!

[WhatsForToday]

I wish you would update this, or tell us how to. The vid is really cool :)

[snati]

I'll do the AA 256x256 bump-maps specular lighting thing for free, if you give me credit, I'm dead serious.

[arand]

@boozer69n me 2, that was actually the first thing that came to my head

[CygnusXII]

Looks more like Larry Niven's Ring World to me...

[Cirofost]

The effect would have been better if you would have turned of view bobbing :P
