it's an incredibly well optimized clone. I've checked in dolphin to see how many polygons it pushes at max: in some scenes, it'll show over 650k polygons in one frame above 30, which is very good for the hardware.

@@avgredditmod, clearly you do not know that it is a dumbed down version of the game. You can tell from the graphics alone that it is not the full game with many limitations. Sure it probably could run on the Wii, but the point is that if a more powerful system could not run it the best, the Wii had an even smaller chance of running the game as updates came out. Yes, it is technically Minecraft on the Wii, but it would likely be tough to get the game running well with the full package deal. That is likely a reason why it was later put on the Wii U instead of the Wii. Just because a game can run on hardware does not mean it should

If you're on PC this isn't hard to do at all. You don't even need to mod Minecraft itself, you'd just need to have the wii-motion controls be your mouse input. Sidenote: this would also work with Joycons and PS5's motion controls. Hell, if you're feeling extra masochistic you could set your phone's gyro to be your mouse... I don't know why you'd do that(outside of those BoTW puzzles that need gyro to work), but you could.

*NEVER* thought I'd see something resembling a Minecraft "lets play" on this channel! Beta 1.7.3 was the version of Minecraft that I started on, so the nostalgia I feel from seeing even the homebrew Wii port is really something else!

The performance is amazing honestly… whoever is doing this work is pretty talented.

Man this is awesome, it feels like a beta version of an unreleased legacy edition of minecraft for the wii, I hope this project gets picked up by someone who knows and wants to continue developing it but if that doesnt happen its fine, very thankful for all the work the dev put in!

Kinda reminds me of really early Xbox 360 Minecraft, where the tutorial area was this castle place iirc, and a lot of it was very different, still using flatter textures Good times...

you ever feel nostalgic over something that just came out? thats how i feel looking at the wiimote using items idk why

As someone who never got into Minecraft, I'm learning so much about how the game even works. It's like a Minecraft tutorial for me.

Good to see this getting updates still

Oh this is an impressive port. The graphics are almost identical. That's amazing work! EDIT: Lmao the same source code is linux compatible if you change the makefile and source libaries. GPLv3 Minecraft clone time

Great video! Your let’s play career is taking off ;) Also wow, that outro music is smoooth

I absolutely love CavEX, super happy to see you tal, about it more.

I love the effect the resolution creates

Beta 1.7.3 was my very first version of Minecraft I ever played. I can't wait to try this

I'm loving the videos man, keep up the great content!

Very impressive technical achievement! I find it funny that is actually looks a little _better_ than b1.7.3 because it appears to have anisotropic filtering. I hope the creator eventually finds the drive to bring this all the way to feature parity with b1.7.3, or someone else does. Also when you were testing sources of damage it was painful watching you walk right past a cactus without thinking to touch it. XD

Wow, quite a major improvement and really worth playing!

This is absolutely incredible! Seeing Survival be implemented makes me so excited to see if all gameplay elements can be added in. If the option for Motion Controls were to be added, I think turning the Wii Remote or Nunchuck for the camera, and swinging one of the controllers for Jumping would help a lot in speeding up gameplay

This is very impressive, and is basically indistinguishable from a old console version of the game. I will try this tomorrow!

How come they got Minecraft running this smoothly on a Wii yet the official PC version is like 10 FPS on low-end devices?

The quality is impeccable in every regard!

With a bit more work, this will be amazing, I really hope that there will be fully implemented motion controls that way I can make my childhood dreams come true.

I did not expect Wii to have enough horse power to run Minecraft

man this will be an amazing homebrew to add to a wii when this gets game cube controller support (or better wiimote + nunchuck controlls)

It feels like an alternate universe were they released Minecraft on the Wii.

I would have spent *hours* on this when I was younger. It's incredible to think of what could have been.

Kinda amazing that they've gone through all this work, and yet haven't bothered with sound, one of the most basic things.

As a long time minecraft player, it's one of the most impressive demakes i've ever seen. The lighting is on point, the animations, the texture work, the console editions UI, almost looks like an official port

if you think about it, the experience is basically what it was around 4 years ago when running the older versions on the minecraft launcher didn't let the audio work. Unless that was just alpha versions, I just remember trying to play some old versions years ago and there wasn't any audio. This port port of minecraft will be great once it has compatibility with gamecube controllers

looks like an early 360 build, amazing.

I'm very happy to see that video

this seriously feels official. like to most people this is probably indistinguishable from the real beta 1.7.3 at a glance. looks awesome

I liked how it was sunset when he did the outro

Now, you gotta do streaming series with this for your Wii videos’ fans Michael! (pls)

I hate how even without SFX my brain remembers all the SFX from the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.

If the next update comes out, they should add multiplayer. It would be funny to build a boat elevator or cobblestone tower on a WII.

OMG og style mjd video :O

I’ve been waiting for this for years it’s finally here Minecraft for the Nintendo Wii

Man I would have loved this game on the Wii as a kid if it came out on the Wii. heck I would play it now to get around at playing a classic version!

I am convinced Michael MJD and Spookston are the same person with their voice

So cool that the creator updated it! Do you know if the world generation continues passed what's generated in the world when you make it on your PC? If not is there a limit? Like if you travel very far on your PC, and then go to import it on your Wii, will everything that's generated appear?

If this had Wiimote aim I'd be willing to try it out.

Wii Remote + Nunchuck would be a fantastic control scheme for Minecraft! Hopefully this version at some point adds support for the Wii Remote pointer.

Huh, it's interesting to see how Minecraft isn't so difficult to make, even for hobbyist-level developers. It's a game with near-limitless worlds and being *designed* for numerous creative possibilities (especially through mods), but there's been some really impressive Minecraft-like projects lately, from Minetest to Classicube to now this.

I hope someday they add motion aiming at some point. That would make this even more insane

Man Minecraft inventory with Wii pointer would go hard. I hope that gets implemented.

This control scheme is genius. Simply swap around the nunchuk and wiimote from where you normally hold them and it's really natural.

Imagine you had to swing the Wiimote up and down to mine.
