Important notes

• The JVM version must be 17. If it is higher, the following message will show in output:
  • [LWJGL] [ThreadLocalUtil] Unsupported JNI version detected, this may result in a crash. Please inform LWJGL developers.
• I use LWJGL's Nuklear library that is builtin to LWJGL to do all of the UI rendering.
• Each chunk is 32x32x32 in size. Chunks coordinates are 3D
• The up direction is -Y, and the down direction is +Y

Textures

Textures taken mostly from Pixel Perfection, with some handcrafted ones, and textures taken from open source minetest texture packs as well:
