The Engineering Behind an Indie Icon | Why Minecraft is a Technical Feat

Have you ever wondered how Minecraft works? It looks like such a simple game, but anyone who has tried to reproduce it, as I have, quickly realizes that this is anything but a simple game.

In this video I take a brief look at some of the many technical issues that this game had to overcome in order to become a worldwide hit.


I go through various points including: mesh generation, cave generation, biome generation, light calculations and more.
