I always wanted a 3D extension with a camera that can look up and down and a tilemap with height. So I was wondering if any of the great extension makers out there would dare to take on this task. Plz
I am sorry, please look at other attempts to do this. This question has been answered before in multiple places. Makecode is simply way underpowered to do 3d tilemaps. It isn’t a question about “daring to do it” or not thinking about making one, just constraints.

erm, actually, it is possible, because Brohann exists and has done it. But @Gatorballz123 it is not easy to do it. Also MrJones has done it/ is working on it
Moderator note: Sorry about the unnecessary pings in the original post. I hit the wrong button and approved it.

You could use brohann’s 3d extension but it’s kinda difficult to implement images and very taxing on performance
Is this what you were looking for?
Isometric render
ignore BotWarrior, makecode is not really “underpowered” at all, and with enough optimization pretty much anything is possible.

I have seen all of the extensions, I just saw “tilemap with height” and didn’t think walls floor and ceiling counted. It all basically comes down to what you want to do, and I thought @Gatorballz123 was coming in to say “someone make something like minecraft in true 3d.” I know that with enough optimisation this could maybe be done, but people have tried in the past to 3d render singular objects, or a few of them. By all means, if you think you can code something like this, go ahead. I saw your 3d platformer thingy which is very cool, but that will need a lot of work to make a big game.
The optimisation isn’t that worth it imo but I see what you mean there. Other languages are optimised for 3d so yeah, although 3d platformers in makecode sound nice
