Hello All, I am really new to Java LWJGL and made a MC clone but am having trouble

[quaint obsidian]

I am making a Minecraft clone, and I have a small chunk system, so far just one chunk, but it keeps breaking. textures work good, so do most face renderings of each cube in the chunk. Everything is properly culled, however the issue arises when placing or destroying blocks. My chunk size is 17x17x17, (In actuality its 16x16x16) and if I place a block, it distorts all blocks textures, by swapping them from 16x16x16 to wherever the player placed a block or near it. It also causes from the same coord of 16x16x16 to have faces disappear. And if you reverse what the player does, almost in a ordered fashion the visual glitches and texture swapping reverses little by little until the chunk is back to how its supposed to be. I will share some videos and screenshots, and am completely willing to share the project files if need be.

Video Link to the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq36Io7giXQ&ab_channel=MrMorgan

Unfortunately, I do not have enough space to share the code, so instead I will share the GitHub page of the project
The code is in the package ChunkUtilities with ChunkMesh being the main code thats the issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Please any help woiuld be greatly appreciated

[open zinc]

so is it 17x17x1x7 or 16x16x16?

[radiant mountain]

would be worth to ask in LWJGL discord server, they know more about that stuff

[quaint obsidian]

Well its 17 cubed, but the way the for loops work its really 16 cubed. I'll check with the LWJGL server

[open zinc]

this makes no sense

it's either 17 or 16

[quaint obsidian]

Okay. So Inset the chunk size as 17 because the way thr for loop goes, it ends up as only 16 length, width, and height.

[open zinc]

uh, well, that's not a good reason to change chunk size constant at all

you can loop 16 times with a size of 16 just fine

either from 0 to 15 or from 1 to 16

if your chunks are cubic, create an array of blocks of size 4096 (16x16x16), and then you can easily index into it by doing x + y * 16 + z * 256 (assuming looping from 0 to 15)

[meager edge]

16 is better than 17

because 16 is a power of two

[quaint obsidian]

Ok
