TerraCraft is a massive 2D sandbox FANGAME combines Minecraft and Terraria, developed using C++ language and a self-made game engine. I've been working on TerraCraft project since at least September 2018, and it takes me about two years to finish the first TerraCraft version. The content of TerraCraft is based on Minecraft and its well-known mod packages. For the official content of Minecraft, please refer to Mojang Studios and relevant mod authors’ descriptions. If you like this fangame, just show your support to the best Minecraft and Terraria!
TerraCraft is the first 2D sandbox platform game which allow you to play on an INFINITE world in one map. TerraCraft uses a dynamic chunk technology similar to Minecraft, so every world you create is infinite. TerraCraft’s unique portal system can save all your locations for teleportation, allowing you to explore more secrets of the unlimited world!
The current version of TerraCraft implements infinite map width, and also implements the surface layer, the underground layer, and the nether layer. In future updates, more layers will be added to create a world of infinite height and infinite depth and make TerraCraft truly become an infinite world!
TerraCraft supports multiplayer mode, you can run the TerraCraftServer and play this game with your friends!

FAQ
Q: What is TerraCraft? Why develop TerraCraft?
A: TerraCraft is just a non-commercial fan game of Terraria and Minecraft. I developed this game to practice algorithms, software engineering practices and C++ game engine practices. Therefore, this project is only used for learning and communication, and will not be released on commercial markets such as steam.
Q: Why does the server report an error?
A: In order to quickly expose potential problems, developers have added a large number of assertions (ASSERT), so an assertion error will occur before the preparation fails. If you are a server owner, please be sure to send a complete screenshot of the assertion error report to the bug-report channel of discord to help me solve server-side problems in the future.
Q: Why I can't play the game?
A: According to the feedback collected from many players so far, you should check follows:
1. The compressed package must be decompressed and cannot be run in the compressed package.
2. If you just want to play the singleplayer game, you should run the TerraCraft.exe instead of TerraCraftServer.exe.
3. Make sure that the system's "My Documents" path is valid, and the game can correctly create a "TerraCraft" folder in the "My Documents" path.
4. Make sure that DX9 is installed on the computer.
5. Make sure that VC++2015 is installed on the computer.
Q: How can I do when the game reports that d3dx9_43.dll cannot be found?
A: Download this dll and put it in the main directory of the game, or use the DX repair tool to repair it.
Q: How to control?
A: After entering the game, click the question mark on the right to view all operations in the first advancement.
Q: How to place or dig the wall?
A: Press the SHIFT key and the left mouse button to dig or place the tile as a wall. See in the previous question.
Q: How to use the trash can?
A: Hold down the Z key and click on the item to be destroyed to send the item to the trash can. The trash can has a recycling mechanism and can only recycle the most recently destroyed items. Please use it with caution.
Q: How to search the recipes?
A: The first method: Click the middle button on the right, or press the R key to open the recipe search interface, and search for the desired recipe in the items on the right.
The second method: Click the "?" button near the 2×2 crafting slots on the backpack interface, and click the item you want to query.
Generally speaking, the left-click on an item is to search all the recipes that get the item, and the right-click on the item is to search all the recipes that use the item as the input source. The design of the recipe system comes from the NEI mod of Minecraft.
Q: Is there an official server?
A: No, because it is a fan game and I am still a student, I don't have the ability to buy server. Please solve the related financial problems of the server by yourself.
Q: How to host the service?
A: The method of opening the TerraCraft server is similar to Terraria. You can ask relevant person who have experience in hosting the Terraria server, or search for how to host the server of Terraria in this forum.
Q: What operating systems does the game support?
A: Windows XP and above, but some older XP systems may not be supported due to the loss of components.
Q: What is the best resolution of the game?
A: It is recommended to use 1920×1080 as the full screen resolution (the maximum resolution of a general home laptop). Due to my lack of programming experience, the game currently does not support 4k screens.
