Minetest - Minecraft-inspired voxel game engine. C++
Project mention: VoxelSpace – Terrain rendering algorithm in less than 20 lines of code | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-28
Project mention: MagicaVoxel – A free voxel art editor and interactive path tracing renderer | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-28I've never used it, but (from what I've seen) is a great tool for modeling Voxels.
Shameless plug: The format (and the tool) had been used with great success in Veloren, an Open Source Voxel MMORPG written in rust (https://www.veloren.net/). The artist team has made great assets for the game and landscapes for the release parties.
Your should check out the project, it is really cool.
(Disclaimer: I'm part of the mod team.)
Terasology - Minecraft-inspired voxel game. Java
Project mention: PicoGK is a compact and robust geometry kernel for Computational Engineering | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-14In the README there is a section title "On the shoulders of giants" that probably points to the main reason. This project is a layer overtop https://www.openvdb.org/
There's also a performance question. While we can now use Blueprint nativization to convert Blueprints to C++ the result will be a fairly naive version, fast enough for most purposes but not if you're trying to push every bit of performance. This is where you're looking at making sure you're hitting things such as using the CPU cache as well as possible for an ECS system (Look at ENTT or Flecs if you want to see what they're about and why you'd want one), or a system needing to process massive amounts of data quickly such as the Voxel Plugin.
Project mention: Open source Diablo 1 engine – DevilutionX 1.5.0 released | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-17Ace of Spades is one. I usually play with the OpenSpades client[1], but there is also Betterspades[2], and probably many other clients I don't know of yet. There are usually about 10-50 players online on the public servers listed on BuildAndShoot[3], variable depending on the time of day and mostly from Latin America it seems.
One can host the game with piqueserver[4]. I'm not sure if one can still host with the original Ace of Spades server, but the game was 'shut down' in 2019 so maybe not.

On the flip side, I got to read some of the Clojure source code, which was very educational. I also got to understand a bit more the usefulness of protocols (using defprotocol and defrecord to provide several implementations). Here it was very useful to read the source code of thi-ng/geom.
Project mention: We just released version 0.15.0 full of our Avoyd Voxel Editor with Export to MagicaVoxel .vox | /r/VoxelGameDev | 2023-05-17Note for programmers: we use ogt_vox.h from opengametools by /u/jpaver so if you're using C/C++ you should be able to add .vox loading to your code which supports scenes exported by Avoyd relatively easily with this.
I found a 3D model of a conch shell (OBJ format) and I uploaded it to objtoschematic.com where I decided the final size and which block to use. The site produced a structure file (nbt) of the shell composed of only pink wool blocks.
