Install instructions

I recommend you download the native version for your platform if you are on x64 windows or linux.

If you want to use the jar file instead you'll need Java 17 installed to run it.

super neat!

epik

Cool I love ur videos btw

Am I supposed to be able to run through blocks now?

It's a known bug, I'll look into it for the next update

Okay. Good job with the game so far

on 4/5/2024 I have the following crash: The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.

(1 edit)

1.22:

-No momentum... after jumping while running, letting go of forward makes my guy just drop straight down... feels very weird.

-On same note, strafing quickly back and forth feels weird. I think it stems from the same issue above, character momentum not being refined yet.

-It's hard to see which item I have selected. Minecraft's hand was a very organic way of doing that, I miss it a lot w hile building in CR.

-Hard to tell which block I'm about to break. The outline of the block I'm looking at isn't very clear except in the brightest of light.

-Can break blocks while I have the inventory open. And the block broken is where I click the mouse, not where the crosshair points!

-Side-slab on top of side-slab placement is finnicky. Maybe it should align to player's primary facing instead of which part of the block I'm placing it on... Seems like there's very limited space to make a wall of side-slabs without them going wonky.

-Light bleed issues through slab walls and ceiling.

-Can't place slabs in the block you're in, even if the slab wouldn't intersect with your body. Makes it hard to get good placement angles.

-Falling from a very long height caused my character to land inside of the ground, but I could easily hop out.

This is the direction Cosmic Reach should go




He is not trying to be an exact minecraft replica, instead of just stating follow minecraft examples, state which things you want.

Also I am sorry that I compared Cosmic Reach that much to Minecraft. I know it must get tiring to see that many comments messing that up.

Please use minecraft.wiki, minecraft.fandom.com is outdated.

although good recommendation, he is citing where he got his ideas.

Also other two videos are about the fun you can have while being alone.

I just found out that you can power and un-power light blocks, a very interesting mechanic! A bug I found with this is that, if you have a block like a light block or C4 that can power and un-power itself, whether you are in the block with noclip or are under the world border, it will power itself, even if you have a different block in hand.

There Are Some things that i got into while i was playing i will list here that i don't think that that is normal.

1. When i change my FOV i can see trough blocks when i'm standing next to them not walking or sprinting.

2.
When u sprint and go into the Water u are still so fast like u where sprinting.

3.
When u jump and walk and build up at the same time some times u bug into a block.

4. if u do the same like 3. sometimes u get a boost in the air.

Now i will say somethings i think should be in the game

1.
A player model or at least a hand and the block in the hand so u see what u have in your hand.

2.
A Inventory Where u can Store the blocks and in the future items (this is more like a reminder because i think u will add it in the future)

3.
A GUI Changer So u can change the GUI size.

4.
Change the Sound when u hover over a button it can be really annoying if u play the game a long time or make that u can deactivate that sound only.

this is no hate or bad talking of the game i only want to point out some bugs i encountered and some things i think should be in the game!

windows version (creative tab 2 and 3 dont work)

I think that there are only one tab of blocks.

Very neat game! no issues or bugs found in my short time playing but I do wish it had some colored block options, like the concrete blocks from minecraft ideally. the colored lights are very nice but they're not ideal for adding the color I want to add to things. Still very promising game! can't wait to see what gets added next! 

also on a side note, could there be an option to lower the camera height in 1st person? it feels like the "eyes" on the character are way too high which makes it feel like the character's hitbox is about 2.5 blocks high instead of just 2. same deal when crawling. not the biggest deal in the world but it does make things feel just a little odd to me

Very cool game thus far, i have had an issue where i sometimes teleport after unpausing the game. I can consistently re-create it if i pause in mid-air then unpause, but it also happens at random.

state version you are using

how do i update my game

Just delete the old game file and download the new one

The best way is to use the itch launcher and install the game through there, it will update automatically.

hi

The game is just a CANNON! My friend thought it was Minecraft until I told him it was your game! Good luck with your game creation!!

I just downloaded today and made this area.

I Can't Play The Game (Sometimes)

It only started when I Updated to 0.1.17, sometimes loading in a world will do that, sometimes it won't and the first time this happened I couldn't use my hotbar, but not this time. I am very confused.

A Video of the problem:

(1 edit)

likely a background process or task, repost if it continues after checking and removing any background tasks or processes.

I don't know what it would be, still kinda confused

If it continues it is likely network related, otherwise I am assuming its background process  or task.

Fun, a couple strange black bars that appear and disappear here and there, but otherwise really cool! Here's a wall I built:


glitch distance view

Came across this glitch

I'm on windows 10, I played the game for a little, created my second world, spawned in with blocks from the previous world, walked around for a hundred block, found an odd glitch, then my pc froze and I had to restart my pc. Picture of glitch below

java threading issue , final for each:  XX:+UseCriticalJavaThreadPriority  would solve this in a majority of cases. RedNumberz fixes that would work for your PC is changing java priority to higher(or reducing background operations).

ok, thank you

here is the actual bug info so if it doesn't fix or you want to know more: <a href="<a href=" https:="" bugs.mojang.com="" browse="" mc-1794?filter="20315"">https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-1794?filter=20315</a>

Make the block break sound high pitch!
I having issue when hearing high bass sound and high pitch sounds for breaking block is more satisfy.

I can't see anything anymore

same

Sorry! For now, please use the 0.1.12 update while I look into this. Do you happen to be on linux with a integrated GPU? Please post your specs.

Idk about integrated GPU but I am on linux

Does this persist on 0.1.14?

It does not persist on 0.1.14 thank you.

extremely loud incorrect buzzer.

Neat little game.
Itch launcher failed on me, so I'll just leave here more detailed steps for any other elderly Linux/Ubuntu/Mint users.
To install java 17:
apt install openjdk-17-jdk openjdk-17-jre

Then due to space in the file name, run jar file with " ", if don't want to rename it:
java -jar "Cosmic Reach-0.1.11.jar"

I use Linux too, alternatively, just download openjdk tar, unzip it and run ./jdk-21-0/bin/java -jar "Cosmic Reach-version.jar"

Nice game!!!

first 0.1.10 and later 0.1.11 :)))

hey cool game my guy!

theres a random line of magma or lava that occasionally flashes on the screen.

Found a bug. The game lets you uncrouch when crouching under a 1 and a half block tall space, which gets you stuck in the slab above you. Minecraft handles this by simply not letting the player uncrouch in such a circumstance.

(+2)

had to do it :D

i had the same idea lol i just didn't finish it and didn't like how it looked

I don't get it 🤔

The ability to build custom spaceships would be very befitting for this game.

im proud to be here for the beginnings of what will be a great game and i love the pre alpha so far
