Hello can you make a 3d game like minecraft using java?

3\$\begingroup\$ This must be the most random question I've encountered here yet. You're asking if you can make 3D games in Eclipse, mention that you know it's not a Unity question and you give it the tag "minecraft". This is just pure gold :D \$\endgroup\$TravisG– TravisG2011-06-18 22:52:50 +00:00Commented Jun 18, 2011 at 22:52

Yes. You can create a 3D game like Minecraft in Java using Eclipse as your source code editor, but that's not all you'll need...
An MMORPG will require a lot of work (MMORPGs aren't known to be small projects), so you'll need a variety of tools for other aspects of the project:
- graphics editors for various graphics (e.g., logo for the game)
- 3D modeling tools (to create/modify 3D graphics)
- word processor for the planning documents (a detailed plan is highly recommended)
- word processor for writing story-lines (assuming there is at least one story-line)
- word processor for documentation (your users will want some documentation)
- web site development/maintenance tools (assuming there will be a web site)
- accounting software (if your users need to pay for anything)
- database management tools (you need to save user data and game state at the very least)
(If I've missed some important tools: Please make mention of each tool {and its use}, each in a separate comment {if nobody else has}, and I will likely upvote it.)
