Minecraft Indev version had a feature called “isometric screenshots” which took an isometric screenshot of your world. Because the world wasn’t infinite at that time, it took the screenshots easily. It still can be done in modern minecraft hovewer, with some plugins.
Typical client, changing the scope of the project 🤣.
At the end of the day, games programming is full of shortcuts but ive already shown you how its possible to make an infinite world in a video game. Sure you can’t load that all into memory at once, or save the state of every single block… But that wouldnt me necessary, as its impossible for a user to interact with an infinite number of blocks.
