uNmINeD.NET Geometry Library

Introduction

The uNmINeD.NET Geometry Library provides immutable C# types to work with block, chunk and region coordinate systems used in Minecraft. It is designed to make geometry related code more readable and less likely to contain mistakes.

Features

Axes are the same as in Minecraft:

• X: negative is west, positive is east (left and right on maps)
• Z: negative is is north, positive is south (top and bottom on maps)
• Y: negative is down, positive is up

There are distinct two-dimensional (X-Z plane) integer readonly struct types for each unit of measure (Block, Chunk, Region and general Int), like BlockPoint or ChunkRect:

// 32x32 area at x=16,z=0
var br = new BlockRect(x: 20, z: 0, width: 32, height: 32));

Console.WriteLine(br); // b(20, 0, 32 x 32)
Console.WriteLine(br.Top); // "0", inside the rectangle
Console.WriteLine(br.Bottom); // "32", outside the rectangle
Console.WriteLine(br.Height); // "32", Top + Height = Bottom

Console.WriteLine(br.Contains(br.TopLeft)); // "true", TopLeft is inside the rectangle
Console.WriteLine(br.Contains(br.BottomRight)); // "false", BottomRight is outside the rectangle
Console.WriteLine(br.Contains(new BlockPoint(20, 0))); // "true"
Console.WriteLine(br.Contains(new BlockPoint(20, 31))); // "true"
Console.WriteLine(br.Contains(new BlockPoint(20, 32))); // "false"

Console.WriteLine(br.Contains(new ChunkPoint(2, 0))); // !!! compiler error
Console.WriteLine(br.Contains(new ChunkPoint(2, 0).ToBlockRect())); // "true"
Console.WriteLine(br.Contains(new ChunkPoint(1, 0).ToBlockRect())); // "false"
Console.WriteLine(br.IntersectsWith(new ChunkPoint(1, 0).ToBlockRect())); // "true"

Conversions:

Console.WriteLine(new BlockPoint(20, 25).ToRegionPoint().ToChunkRect()); // "c(0, 0, 32 x 32)"
Console.WriteLine(GetTopLeftBlockOfContainingChunk(new BlockPoint(20, 25))); // "b(16, 16)"

public BlockPoint GetTopLeftBlockOfContainingChunk(BlockPoint blockPoint)
{
    return blockPoint    // b(20, 25)
        .ToChunkPoint()  // c(1, 1)
        .ToBlockRect()   // b(16, 16, 16 x 16)
        .TopLeft;        // b(16, 16)
}

Constants:

var sectionBlockBuffer3D = 
    new Block[
        Units.BlocksPerChunk        // 16
        * Units.BlocksPerChunk      // 16
        * Units.BlocksPerSection];  // 16

Chunk section math:

Console.WriteLine(Units.GetSectionY(blockY: -16)); // -1
Console.WriteLine(Units.GetSectionY(blockY: -17)); // -2

Tile math:

var tileSize = 256;
IntPoint tilePoint = new BlockPoint(10, 300).ToTilePoint(tileSize); // (0, 1)
BlockRect tileBlockRect = tilePoint.ToBlockRect(tileSize); // b(0, 0, 256 x 256)

Integer scaling by Math.Pow(2, n):

Console.WriteLine(new BlockPoint(20, 20).ScaleBy(1)); // "b(40, 40)"
Console.WriteLine(new BlockPoint(20, 20).ScaleBy(-2)); // "b(5, 5)"

All structs are IEquatable<T> and can be used as dictionary keys:

var loadedChunks = new Dictionary<ChunkPoint, IChunk>();

Usage

Add https://nuget.pkg.github.com/unminednet/index.json to NuGet sources, then add the Unmined.Minecraft.Geometry NuGet package to csproj:

<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Unmined.Minecraft.Geometry" Version="0.1.1" />
</ItemGroup>

Build

git checkout https://github.com/unminednet/Unmined.Minecraft.Geometry.git
dotnet build
