🔮 GlyphVM – Visual Magic Programming for Minecraft
✅ NOW ON MODRINTH – beta 0.4.0 available for download
Draw spells with pixels. No code. Just glyphs and arrows.
GlyphVM turns Minecraft into a visual programming environment. You draw pixel glyphs on a grid, connect them with arrows, and the resulting graph runs on a built‑in virtual machine.
✨ Key Features
- 70+ glyphs – arithmetic, logic, stack ops, vectors, lists, matrices, world interaction (break/place blocks, explosions, lightning, gravity, push, teleport, dash), raycasts, entity search, file I/O, mutation control, and more.
- Visual programming – connect cells with arrows; conditional glyphs have two branches.
- Built‑in VM – stack-based, with delay support, loops, jumps, and recursion.
- Debug mode – step through spells, inspect stack, see current cell.
- Mana system – personal mana + craftable batteries (executor holds up to 16 batteries).
- Executor block – redstone‑triggered, uses spell paper and batteries.
- Items – Spell Paper (multiple sizes), Memory Crystal (persistent lists), Staff (cast spells on right‑click).
- Import/Export – clipboard and file‑based (large files supported via chunks).
- Guidebook – full documentation (Patchouli, EN/RU).
