VMbitCodeTerminal

by tayse3224

VMbitCodeTerminal adds a programmable 8-bit computer to Minecraft, built from a custom CPU block, a terminal screen and a small virtual machine with its own instruction set.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

The mod places a dedicated CPU block into the world. The block executes 8-bit instructions, and its state is shown on a terminal interface with a green-on-black look. Programs can be written with a built-in assembler that works directly inside the game, so no external tools are needed. Sample code bundled with the mod loads ASCII characters into registers and prints them to the terminal, with a source editor for changing it.

Programs and BIOS data can be saved to physical floppy disk items, which can be handed to other players. Multiplayer sessions keep the CPU state and screen in sync across a server. The CPU block is crafted and placed like other blocks, so a machine is built in the world rather than in a separate menu.

Installation needs Forge or NeoForge for 1.20.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Custom CPU block

    A craftable block that runs 8-bit instructions and acts as the brain of each machine built in the world.

  2. Built-in assembler

    Code is written with an assembler inside the game, and the example scripts can be copied and run directly.

  3. Terminal screen

    The terminal window is 400 by 400 pixels, drawn in green text on a black background, and displays what a running program prints.

  4. Floppy disk storage

    Programs and BIOS data are saved to floppy disk items that can be shared with other players.
