MorriCraft

MorriCraft is a high-performance voxel engine built with C++ and Raylib. It features a custom physics engine, dynamic world generation, and an interactive inventory and crafting system.

Features

• Custom Physics: Stable "Ground-Lock" system prevents camera jitter and ensures smooth movement.
• Dynamic World Generation: Multi-octave Perlin noise (FBM) for realistic terrain, including biomes like grass, sand, and forests.
• Advanced Crafting: Includes both a 2x2 player inventory grid and a 3x3 workbench system.
• Optimized Rendering: Texture batching and neighbor-chunk caching for stable 60+ FPS.
• Cross-Platform: Builds for both Linux and Windows.
