Every seed is somewhere that has never existed
A seed does not adjust sliders — it rolls a place. Nine landforms, from highlands and rainforest to karst towers, painted mesa and skylands, and seven things that might have befallen them: drowned, parched, overgrown, frozen, smouldering, shattered, riddled with crystal caverns. The world tells you what it turned out to be, and the same seed builds it again forever.

You build from inside
No orbiting a model in a void — you stand in the world. Walk, swim, fly, then break and build with six brushes across 255 materials: stone and timber, glass and gold, neon and lava. Undo per stroke, save any time, and trade builds with MagicaVoxel, Goxel, OpenVDB and Minecraft schematics.

Press P. The world holds its breath.
Photo Mode freezes everything — the clock, the water, the clouds — and hands the frame to a path tracer: the renderer follows light the way light actually travels, and the picture refines in front of you like a developing photograph. The longer you wait, the finer it gets.
P to enter · Esc to leave · keeps refining while you tuneSunlight bounces, colour bleeds, glass refracts, gold reflects, clouds glow from within. Shade fills with sky, not black.
Focus on your subject and open the aperture — true depth of field, with soft shadows you can widen by growing the sun.
Save a finished PNG, or the raw light itself as a Radiance .hdr you can re-expose in any pro imaging tool.
Sun strength, sky light, bounce light, water glow: dials that keep the beloved voxel-render look — or set them to 1 for bare physics.
Every picture here came out of Photo Mode
No external renderer, no post-processing — each frame was photographed inside the sandbox and saved with its Save button.
Methodox Voxel Scene Viewer
The same renderer, pointed at somebody else's work. It opens any voxel scene you have — MagicaVoxel, Goxel, OpenVDB, Minecraft schematics — at any scale, from a one-metre world to a room modelled a centimetre at a time. Orbit or fly it, slice it open with a clip box, edit what its materials are made of, and render the result as a finished picture.
It ships in the same download. Nothing to set up: open a file and look.
.vox · .gox · .vdb · .schematic · .dvxThe details that make it a place
- A full day. Sunrise to star field on a tilted arc, with a moon that takes over the lighting at night — and a sky you can rotate to light a scene from any side.
- A generated soundtrack. 180 sound effects, ambience and two musical themes — all synthesised from your world's seed. No two worlds sound alike.
- Materials that behave. Metals shine, glass refracts, crystals glow, water flows light through itself — in play and in photographs.
- Quick on its feet. A twelve-million-block world generates in under a second, editing is instant at any brush size, and three quality tiers keep it smooth from ultrabooks to workstations.
