Cairnvale

An unedited capture of one Cairnvale world, turning slowly under a working sky. The same code you play.

Cairnvale is a small country built out of metre-sized cubes: hill, shore, pine, quarry, snowline. Nothing in it is a level someone authored. Give it a number and it gives you ground.

You start standing in it. You can walk, jump one block, break what you're looking at, and put a block back where you weren't standing. Dig a hole and the walls remember they were stone.

The sun is on a timer. A day is ten minutes of real light, and the dark half is genuinely darker — stars, no ambient bounce, cold fog. Change the timer by parameter if you want a faster sky.

Seeded ground. 48×48×24 minimum, nine block types, trees, water at the shoreline.
You are the camera. Walk, jump, collide, fall. No teleporting, no clipping.
Break and place. Crosshair, highlighted target within six blocks, one block of reach.
Nine slots, nine keys. Digits and the mouse wheel pick what you're holding.
A day that works. Ten minutes, sunrise to stars, fog that follows the hour.
It keeps your world. Changes are saved on their own, and a new number starts a new world.
Phone too. On-screen pad and buttons for move, jump, break, place.
