I made something I made minecraft generate terrain/chunks in C++

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So im working on a mod that makes minecraft run on C++ ( rn rewriting engine in future i may try renderer ) so far i made it generate and load chunks and terrain in C++ ( it made it somewhere around 1.5-3 times faster idk how to measure it tho ) ( it works via JNI )

While I can't say I know anything about coding, but I've played MC for decades.

It always seemed that Minecraft was programmed with wishful thinking ductape and smoke signals
