Running

See Releases

See below to build and run for yourself or try to run it out of any decent Java IDE.

Please note that in order to run the .jar file directly you will need at least the Java 14 runtime installed.

Building

• Mac: $ ./package.sh creates Microcraft-1.0.dmg which contains the application MICROCRAFT.app.
• Windows: package.bat creates MICROCRAFT-1.0.exe file which installs MICROCRAFT.exe to C:\Program Files\MICROCRAFT.
• With any OS and a valid JDK 14+ install, both package.{sh, bat} create out\artifacts\Microcraft_jar\Microcraft.jar which can be run on its own with java -jar out\artifacts\Microcraft_jar\Microcraft.jar

microcraft's Issues

add save and load pls also i can't get out of my spawn

#1:
How do you save and load and/or could you add save and load?
#2:
When I spawn in, there's always this dungeon that's the only way I can go.

Being on top of an acorn when it grows, makes the player stuck.

Breaking chest doesn't drop items

I put some items into a chest, and then when I broke the chest the items didn't break. Not sure if that is intentional, but it may be a bug.

[Java 15] Can't run game with source code

Line 56 - Window.java

I tried to run this game with Java 15 but I recevied this error, I have checked function com.jdh.microcraft.Renderer.generatePalette() but nothing was wrong.

won't open??

hi there! i ran the "Microcraft_10.exe" and the setup ran fine however nothing else happens :( i can't open the game and can't find the game through file explorer to try and run

the cloud world stairs spawned right next to the spawn location

when i generated a new world it spawned me next to the cloud world stairs and died instantly by the air wizard

wont run

it just wont load when i try to run the .exe

Running Microcraft in a container

I watched the series of videos on Youtube and wanted to give this a try. I don't have java installed on my system and as a personal preference I really like to keep it that way ;-)
So I setup a Dockerfile and script based on the other scripts I use to run GUI applications in containers. This my preference but it might help someone else setup their own Docker environment to run this game.

Right now the only thing I see missing is saved game files, but it looks like that feature isn't there yet. ;-) If there are any save files generated in the future, it is pretty easy to setup a volume in the script to save them to the host.

I thought I would share the files here and you can include it if you want to.
microcraft-in-docker.zip

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 using Docker 19.03.8

Couldn't build project on Macbook

I tried building the game with the package.sh file and got some errors with Java. I have a paste at pastebin here.

[NOT A BUG]

I don't know where to give ideas but, make a video on adding multiplayer player to the game.

How do you plant seeds?

Using a hoe on grass just digs up the ground like a shovel. Not sure how to cultivate it to plant seeds.

Compatibility problems on Linux

Greetings,

I've tried running the jarfile on both Debian and Void Linux. Unfortunately, in either case, I get a similar error on startup:

$ java -jar Microcraft_10.jar 
Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/jdh/microcraft/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 58.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

On Void at least, my Java version is:

$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_272"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_272-b02)

I might have better luck compiling the source myself, but I thought I should raise the issue nonetheless.

Breaking a filled chest voids all items

When breaking a chest that already has items in it, all the items in the chest disappear and don't go back into the inventory

climbed stairs twice and got index out of bounds

I also have trouble de-equipping iron armor to equip gold.
