What Would Minecraft Look Like in 4D?

4D Miner is a game available for free on Steam, which re-imagines Minecraft from a 3D world into a 4D world! I won't lie I have absolutely no idea how 4D works so I can't really explain why it looks like that... Today we're checking it out, as well as what Minecraft would look like in 2D. Hint: 4D is definitely weirder lol.
Enjoy! :D

Your health bar is actually a Klein Bottle! it's a non-orientable surface, a shape that can technically only exist in 4D space to put it simply. But you can make a 3D replica that isn't the exact same, but it's pretty close.

Great that you're showing it off, been following the project for a while and it's honestly amazing

making a 4D house takes a lot of materials, as you'd need walls with 3 dimensions instead of 2. For example a house with an 8x8x8x3 interior space (the infamous wooden box, although here it would be stone because it's vastly more abundant) would require six 10x10x4 exterior walls (2 walls per lateral dimension) and a 10x10x10 roof, requiring 2464 blocks for just the basic box. Stylistic changes like a gable roof take quite a few materials too.

Been following 4D miner on and off for a while, great to see you playing this awesome project!

Also, I'd love to recommend a non-minecraft game; The Upturned! Its a hilarious horror game that blends terrifying combat and goofy characters and dialogue perfectly!

Being a 3D being in a 4D world sounds like pain

Fun fact: you cannot represent a 3d thing on a 2d space. You only have the percection of its presence, but actually It doesn't exist

building houses in the 4D minecraft is really wacky and strange, and i feel like there should be a tutorial on how to build it that first starts explaining how to strafe and snap to planes using some hotkeys in the game and also how to locate yourself in the fourth dimension, then start making the house with a 1 dimension lower analogy so it is easier to understand what the tutorial means, since even knowing where u are in the world is hard and u might loose your house very easily

[masterminer]

Woah, i never expected you to try this game out! Cool that you're showcasing this 💙💜

2:44 heres the steps to build an 4d house, if i know everything, you need:
-to set your rotation to XZ (cntr+x+z) and set your W to an whole number +.5 (0.5, 1.5, 2.5...) (with shift+q and shift+q, they make you move in 4d without rotating) (you need an compas)
-find an flat space (thats the easiest, but you can make an floor)
-build an 3d house
-set your W to an number 1 lower than your previous W position (for example if you had 2.5, then set it to 1.5)
-build the house (including the floor), but its entirely filled by your wall material (no holes)
-set your w back to starting position
-your house is still there
1. set your W to one higher than it is (if 2.5 then set it to 3.5)
1. build the same house (but you can change whats inside)
-build any number of "rooms" by using steps marked with an 1
-set W to an value 1 higher the last time (if you have the last room on 5.5 then you go to 6.5)
-make the house entirely filled with blocks again
-i dont know if there are doors, or just spiders (these footballs) have an wider hitbox than 1 block, idk, you need to find that on an wiki or something
-your 4D house is completed

Fun fact: the health/blood meter in the bottom left of 4th dimension Minecraft is called a Klein bottle, it’s supposed to be a 4d shape that has no volume therefore can be filled up in the 3rd dimension. Only 4th

[Seeks_stuff]

5:27 *adjusts glasses* UhM... acTuaLLy... It'd be left, FORWArds and up to be considered 3 dimensions 🤓

[VectorJW]

3:15 "W" is the 4th dimension, you are rotated so that the W axis is visible and the X axis is hidden.

The 2D Minecraft shown in that video is called Paper Minecraft. You did not play the game on the site it was originally created on so you didn't see the list of controls, It was made on scratch, and you can get relatively far into it. There is a sorta broken redstone system and a few different biomes. There is no end, you can make a nether portal and go to the nether, but it seems unfinished, and as far as I can tell you can only go to the Nether in creative as you cannot craft the tool necessary to light the portal in survival. I think development might have been halted on the game due to copyright? or maybe the creator just decided to stop.

the football is a "Hyper Spider" it got 32 legs, it also has a ton of eyes and its as large as you, well the parts you can see though

[ghstz]

i love that you switched to an entirely different game for 2d in terraria

A dimensional being will visualize its world in the dimension below
For instance
3D-2D
4D-3D
2D-1D

[DonaldKronos]

@Squiddo -- that game has changed its name to 4D Miner, since it first came out. The world it's played in is four-dimensional, but what you get to see is only a three-dimensional slice of that four-dimensional world. I hope someday a proper projection of four dimensions will be at least an option. It's something I know can be done because I've done it on very old computers a long time ago, but all I've seen since then is such slice projections

"AHH! Scariest jumpscare compilation..." Literally just an orb with a voice that sounds like the chin and the ice-cream girl from Amazing World of Gumball.

i'm watching a 4d game displayed in 3d on a 2d display processing it with a 1d brain

[flexico]

I would LOVE to see you do a 4D Miner let's play! Might just convince me to subscribe~ ;3
