hey guys it's phoenix not too long ago i
made minecraft 2d which is a projection
of a 3d minecraft space in a 2d
minecraft world so
it is a flat plane as you can see where
the player is looking in a single
direction and you move left and right
and before that i actually made 3d
crafting in minecraft where i
allowed the player to craft things but
you have to do it in a three by three by
three area
both of which are obviously extremely
tedious and unnecessary
in minecraft 4d we use tesseracts and
not cubes
phoenix you did 2d minecraft now you
have to do 40.
and that is exactly what i did except i
don't want to show you guys this yet
let me uh reset this okay so
yeah i've modeled a tesseract in
minecraft which is
as extreme and stressful as it sounds
now it's really hard to explain this
because
spatially speaking 4d doesn't work
there's no such thing as a fourth
dimension
in a spatial environment to provide you
with an example of what i'm talking
about this is a tesseract which is
a hypercube with four dimensions so what
you're seeing is a rotation of something
on your 2d screen
but it's given a third dimension of
course giving it some depth
but then you're adding a fourth
dimension within the three-dimensional
cube
and it's rotating on all axes so you can
see some of these simulations online
but basically what i'm gonna say here is
that there is no such thing
as a fourth dimension spatially speaking
this is simply a projection
of four dimensions so here is your
tesseract in minecraft
this is a 3d space but if i go outside
of the 3d space you can see whoops
let me start there you can see a fourth
dimension
above the 3d space and it's shuffling
through each other it's rotating around
and what you have at the very end after
all the rotations are complete
for the first cycle it's going to take a
while
as they come through together it's going
to be a little bit laggy but the
end result will be a completely
different 3d space
because the the zw axis has rotated
through
into the 3d plane it's actually kind of
mirrored now but it's not
it's not the same this tesseract is
going to map
a different region within minecraft each
one
is going to map a different area and the
w
axis the zw axis up there is a different
area as well i can't grab it i can't
really see it at the moment
all right i have quake pro on because i
want to try and render
everything but it's still really hard
there was a door there's a door right up
there there are two doors
three doors and they're going straight
through into this
3d area the three-dimensional space and
it's going to shuffle around i'm going
to try and get something else because i
think it's easier to tell
when you have something more familiar to
look at
[Music]
okay so i found a spot here let's try
this so we've got a bed
right here and we've got a couple of
white beds over here too and now they're
gonna move around they're gonna rotate
around as the tesseract rotates
around the two axes that i programmed in
and after they all sort of go through
the player because all the planes are
going to cross through
the cross section so clearly the ones
that are rendered
as the surface the surface area then go
through the player
and now you can see the beds have gone
and shifted
outside into the fourth dimension you
can't actually access that bed now
right here i think the white bed should
be able to be accessed by the player
again
right there okay so there's the bit no
i walked and now it's rendered something
else
yeah so you can see that as the player
moves around it's just rendering
different blocks
and if i just go into f5 mode that's
what it looks like it's a complete
mess of blocks as they rotate through so
let's reset
i actually had a lot of trouble even
constructing the tesseract to begin with
because
i had to impose a fourth dimension in a
three-dimensional space which is
not easy to do and looking at the
simulations that i had
i couldn't even grasp the idea of
having a fourth dimension just weave
within the third dimension as it's
rotating
i'm speaking a lot of jargon at the
moment but i think if you did a lot of
research
which i did to do this um
i'm speaking a lot of gibberish which is
tough
um what are these there are two gaps
here i think those are doors or maybe
water i don't know some blocks won't
render because they're fake
and you can't actually hold them in an
armor stand that's what it is
of course you can see that i'm using uh
glass blocks to render the air blocks
because i want to actually visualize it
while i was doing this
you can turn it off by doing scroll
players set so
show air zero and if i yeah there we go
now you can see that the air blocks are
gone
and now you just have this so it's not
as impressive doesn't look as great
because most of the stuff that you're
walking through is air
so if you actually visualize it you can
see the entire rotation
as it happens all right so here i've
exited the village i'm inside a cave
and well as i move around
the reality is constantly shifting
around me and
i think if i just go here wow that is a
mess
so there's a tree i'm obviously there's
a tree right where i am
if i just reset now we've got
another cave there's a bunch of dirt not
really caves for the mountain
there's your tree again nice and so
there so i don't know what's going on
i think there's a mountain coming
through
well it's relatively the same actually
this area let's see it try
try to find some different places so
okay now i'm actually inside a mountain
so here's my attempt at rendering a
desert temple using the tesseract and
you can see as i move around
it is constantly trying to update or map
the desert pyramid if i just do this
you can see the fourth dimension just
outside as it shifts right through so
i'm in a desert so it's really not that
interesting
um yeah there's not much going on here
let's find
i think with sufficient lag you can see
the rendering
of the outer layer just outside the 3d
cube as it's trying to reposition
itself because it's trying to follow the
player but it can't if i'm moving fast
enough because
there's a lot of mathematical
application to this so it's kind of
laggy
but um yeah you can kind of see the
fourth dimension as trying to weave its
way
within as it's rotating but there is
another
village right here you can see they've
got the path blocks
and there's nothing above me it's just
pure
air and we've got the fence gates we've
got the house now
it's trying to map the village as i'm
moving around there's just so much going
on
so i will leave this world for you guys
to download i wanted to make this
i've got an orange bed um i wanted to
make this a downloadable data pack but
it's just it's too much work and i don't
think
you can really apply this to any other
world you can but there's a lot of
setting up to do
and it's not as dynamic or
modular as i wanted it to be it's it's
just really difficult
so there you go this is your 4d
tesseract in minecraft or a simulation
of it
um i know it doesn't rotate in all of
the axes but honestly
if you looked into the data pack you'd
know that i tried it but um i
vetoed it immediately after all the lag
that ensued it's so laggy still
but um either way i know some of the
comments that you guys made were in
irony or just but
i took it seriously i did some research
and i i
kind of got it to work mathematically
speaking but you know that 4d
doesn't work in a spatial sense it is
impossible
we live in a 3d environment so if you
guys want to have a look at this you can
there are some other really nice places
to explore with this tesseract but
i really can't model it all in this
video
as i move around because some of it's
just impossible but
um you know i i have to look around a
lot which is
a lot of work but here you have enough
environments to kind of
get a sense of what it's like so there
we have it
i'm gonna reset it because it's still so
much processing going on
but there you go uh this is the glass
structure that it all began with
and we've got some nice trees right here
as i move around
and can i get the logs can i no i can't
can't quite get all the trees can i well
acacia trees are hard to really get
there but
