README
As of ~April 2020, I stopped working on this project for several reasons.
The way I created this was quite "over done" to the point it got hard to work out how to add new features, perhaps due to trying to be an engine rather than a game. However, I am interested in one day revisiting this concept, however perhaps in a different repository rather than this one.
# Open Builder
Open source Minecraft-like voxel sandbox game with multiplayer support.
More information about the project can be found in the **[Open Builder Wiki](https://github.com/Hopson97/open-builder/wiki)**
This was made mostly for a YouTube series which can be found here: **[Lets Code A Multiplayer Voxel Game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rg1RriQZ9Q&list=PLMZ_9w2XRxiYb-ewSron6jd2fC1UHbDbJ&index=2)**

CalvinSpace - Created a lot of the textures for the blocks
## History
Originally, this was going to be a Zombie game, but I got very bored of that very quickly, and so changed the project to be a voxel game instead.
As a result of this, the code was created for the zombie game, so when I decided to switch over, the code got messy very quickly.
To combat this, I did a massive refactor in just over 2 weeks, re-creating large parts of the project.

The commit that adds the refactored code can be found **[here](https://github.com/Hopson97/open-builder/tree/9b6c7c83fb1331fa8740ad12d6df9390d5b31c0c)**
