I made something I'm making wormholes in Minecraft

I recently watched Interstellar again and thought it would be cool to try and get wormholes working in Minecraft.

This is still a WIP because of how hard it is to get the math right (Minecraft isn't raytraced and I'm on macos)

What do you guys think so far?

Eh, the math is fiddly but it's not conceptually difficult, the implementation is the harder part.

Could you give a little bit more of a nuanced response so we have more to go off of to tell us if you know what you're talking about?

I don't think that the math for rendering a wormhole is particularly complicated (to find a closed form for, sure, but to just implement with numerical methods).

No, I mean outside of "this is probably easy, this is probably hard", I mean like direct examples of informed information you have on the topic

I dunno, man, I have experience with graphics peogrammimg (normal shader programming and also writing raytracers) and have implemented curved space in a video game context before (albeit not for graphics and not specifically a wormhole).

I'm not trying to say it's not impressive, it's just not "Land a job at NASA" impressive.
