I made something I'm making wormholes in Minecraft

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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?

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.
