DScraft is a Minecraft clone Homebrew for the Nintendo DS developed by Smealum.

DScraft

Official topic on GBAtemp

Official website

From the official website: DScraft is a DS homebrew adaptation of the popular game Minecraft. At the moment this is a rather complete adptation of "creative mode" (or minecraft Classic), which means there is only exploration and creation in this version. I am planning on attempting to adapt survival in future versions !

DScraft was made by smealum alone in his spare time and is in no way associated with Minecraft or Mojang.

Links

We have also a DSCraft Plugin icon for DSTwo.

Place both DScraft.nds and the content of the plugin in SD:\_dstwoplug\ folder


How to install

SD:\DScraft\ Has to be placed at the root of your SD card.
SD:\DScraft\Packs\ Copy the folder's textures here (SD:\DScraft\Packs\jolicraft\pack.txt etc.)
SD:\DScraft\Screens\ captured screens will go here (Select button to take a screenshot)
SD:\DScraft\Worlds\ Place map file here
SD:\xxx\DScraft.nds Place the .nds anywhere

If it's not working, try the FAT version
Again, if it's not working it's because your DS flashcart doesn't support arguments, try launching DScraft with 'Homebrew menu'

Known bug

Version Bug description Tested on, by Status
200811 Title screen: On game launch there are garbages lines on bottom screen until the title screen appear. Same thing happens when exiting the game to title screen when hitting Start button. SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Known
200811 Title screen: Both screens have an odd refresh rate, it looks like it's blinking continuously with different brightness. SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan New
200811 Title screen: On texture pack selection screen, when using the scroll bar the top and bottom screen are merged/swapped (like 10 lines at the top of each screen). SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Known
200811 Title screen: When loading a texture pack, either the bottom screen is printed in the top screen, either the top printed in the bottom screen. SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Known
200811 in inventory: dragging a bloc to bottom line works fine (it swap textures correctly), but moving a block to another place holder is buggy. First time it swap, second time if you want to swap the newly moved block again back to it's place then it doesn't work, it's using the old block not the new one, and place two texture in the same place. always grab the bottomless texture.
How to reproduce
Try with the water bucket to see easily the problem, as it doesn't match the bottom pattern.
1 - swap water to inventory (work)
2 - swap water (in inventory) with adjacent block (work)
3 - re-move the water back to its old adjacent place : both are in the same place. (The water is really not invisible in the empty case, as you can't grab the empty case)
4 - try re-swapping the water to the empty place : it grabs the lower sprite instead
5- swap water back to usable panel at the bottom : two item again. if you select it, it's placing lower sprite block on the map.

200811 In inventory: the square mark sometime is not centered on block area, and doesn't always follow the selected block. it reset only when selecting a block in the bottom line. SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Known
200811 In game: In fly mode, left/right acts like touchscreen, you can't strafe anymore. SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Known
200811 In game: it's hard to move out of water. the player stay at the level of the last bloc, not at the top of it. report by CannonFoddr link, tested on SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan Known
200811 In game: When walking along the edge of the map the blocks are not loaded. You need to move a little back and the map will load new blocks near your position. Sir_Voe link Known
200811 There's a weird glitch where sometimes when you use the bucket it creates what I think is cobblestone instead of water. Machomuu link New
