- Redditor Magib1 is porting the Game Boy game inside Minecraft
- he is using command blocks in Minecraft to rebuild Pokemon Red in its entirety
- still in early development
- Magib1 said on Reddit:
“This is meant to be a true port of the game, not an adaptation, and is being designed to run on a 10x9 block representation of a Gameboy Color screen,”
- beyond the map and walking animations, Magib1 is creating a built-in Pokedex for the game
- Magib1 explains how it all works:
“There’s a physical representation of the map...in spawn chunks in which each block corresponds with a texture,”
“When the player clicks, a reader armor stand moves and clones the row of new textures behind the display. Display armor stands then detect the block type and stick the corresponding texture on their head before moving. The player model is just swapping between a static walking and standing texture.”
“In order to store easily accessible information I’m also creating a sort of physical database underneath the block map,” Magib1 wrote. “For example, the first layer under the map represents whether the block can be walked on or not (green wool = yes, red wool = no). Separate levels with this type of binary information can be created for doorways, surfable tiles, signs, etc. This cuts down on the command blocks needed, as lag is a very serious concern for the map.”
- Magib1 estimates it will take a few more months to get the core mechanics done
