Minicraft - 3DS Homebrew Edition

Template:Infobox-3DS-Homebrews

This is a 3DS port of a game created by Markus "Notch" Persson as part of the Ludum dare 22 competition back in december 2011. I have rewritten the entire game in C, as Java programs don't run on the 3DS.

Texture packs:

As of beta build 4, you can make texture packs for the game. They contain 3 .png files inside a .zip files. Below is the default textures inside a zip file for you to edit. To make a description, just edit the global comment of the .zip file (use 7zip or winRAR).

Created a texture pack youself? I will feature it on a list here for people to download.

Additional features in this version:

• Save feature
• Texture packs
• Rebindable controls
• Map on the bottom screen
• Tutorial
• Improved sky level
• Replaced the cloth item (useless) with zombie fles

How to play:

• Move with the circle pad or the D-pad.
• Attacking and using items are with A or B.
• Open your inventory or use a workbench with X or Y.

The point of the game is to kill the Air Wizard, who lives up in the sky. To get access to the sky, you must find stairs to delve into the earth to find gems to make a gem pickaxe.

Stairs leading downward: Stairs leading upward:

There are 3 levels in the underground. Each level has it's own level of ore; you can smelt the ores in the furnace to make Iron/Gold bars to make better weapons with the anvil. (Yes gold tools are better than iron tools in this game).

First level - Iron ore Second level (water) - Gold ore Third level (lava) - Gem ore

I recommend that you get at-least 100 gems to make both a pickaxe and a sword. After that go back up to the surface and find the stairs that lead up to the clouds, then you will face off against the air-wizard.
