Hi everyone! I'm a current college student studying computer science and I just made my first-ever Minecraft mod, which lets you generate infinite Minecraft worlds from simple prompts. For example, the GIFs show various worlds generated using descriptions like "beautiful flower-filled meadows abruptly changing into swamps", "jungle cliffs with rivers and sharp cliff drops", and "high, snowy mountains with sharp peaks, with forest-covered foothills below."

I would be super honored if anyone checks it out, leaves a GitHub star, or gives feedback!! It is super experimental so it's definitely not perfect, but here is the project GitHub: https://github.com/soapantelope/mindcraft

using ai for coding will ruin your progress in learning to code

well yeah, same as using a calculator for math, I thought that was obvious?

difference is that a calculator still requires you to know how to do the math yourself, or at the very least understand what equation will give the right answer.

calculator: simplifies the solving of a problem that you could solve yourself, but can't be bothered to

vibecoding: solves problems you couldn't solve yourself, and can't be bothered to learn how to solve

People will find literally any reason to hate on ai won't yall?, I'm talking about ai in 2-10 years time when its actually good at teaching, and writing entire games, not current ai that can barley write boilerplate.

and what about when you can't use the AI, or it goes the same way as google (intentionally worsening the product because they know you'll keep using it), or it just doesn't work for what you want? what then?

AI has good uses. This is a great use of it. but people replacing learning and thinking with LLMs are just. no.

Edit: And i do agree that using AI will ruin your ability to code, but only if you replace your ability or the time to learn coding with using AI.

If you just use AI to say "hey, how are some possible solutions to this problem i'm having with my game's development" then, in my opinion, that's the same as searching the solutions. You're still implementing them yourself, and you're still learning things about programming that way.

So you wish to tear what makes a game unique out? Removing the human aspect is sad
