Because they share the feeling of creating big things from small parts. +And because Minecraft just looks good as LEGO. The project is hosted at +https://sourceforge.net/projects/block2brick/ + + +Requirements +------------ + +* Java runtime aka jre - version 7 is recommended, although there is also a + build compatible with Java 5. It does not require any fancy stuff so all + kinds of Java implementations should work (Oracle's Java, OpenJDK etc). + +Optional: + +* Minecraft - you have to create the world first, otherwise there is nothing to + convert. Alternatively just use a world/save someone else created. Get + Minecraft from here: http://www.minecraft.net/ + +* LEGO Digital Designer - the conversion does not require that you have LDD + installed, but if you want to see the result or modify the default + dictionary then this is what you need, get if from here: + http://ldd.lego.com/ + + +Usage +----- + +block2brick expects a number of arguments, running the following will list all +possible arguments and their descriptions: + +java -jar block2brick-0.1.jar -h + +Here is an example run (using Linux/bash style paths): + +java -jar block2brick-0.1.jar -i ~/.minecraft/saves/world01/ -o world01.lxf -d dictionary_2x2x4.lxf -x -450:-420 -z 118:148 -y 55:80 + + +Dictionary +---------- + +The dictionary file describes how Minecraft blocks should be converted to LEGO +bricks. Basically it is a 16 times 16 grid with a total of 256 positions. Each +position is marked with a plate of specific colour and style. Positions +correspond to Minecraft block IDs, e.g. the dandelion block has ID 37, or more +conveniently 0x25 in hex. This refers to the 2nd row and 5th column in the +dictionary (provided air 0x00 is at the top left hand corner). And remember, +counting rows and cols starts from zero! If you want to edit the dictionary +then feel free to change anything except the purple 2x2 plates and the bricks +near the 0th position (this is marked by two 2x2 plates, one 1x1 plate and one +2x2 grey brick). Also it is not wise to extend the limits of one block, that is +2x2 and the height of 4 plates. Otherwise LDD will complain and remove the +overlapping bricks. + [[project_admins]] [[download_button]] </pre>SverikSun, 11 Mar 2012 21:31:14 -0000https://sourceforge.netac80cdb595626606b90e0dd037fe764770ae089bhttps://sourceforge.net/p/block2brick/wiki/Home/Welcome to your wiki!
