So you build a scanner, scan an area -> "before", then you build stuff, a second scanner, scan area -> "after"

Definitely needs scifi vwooom noises if a player entity intersects with the projection, possibly a fizzly noise / particle effect too
With that, I'd imagine plane-by-plane would still look quite cool, probably worth limiting it to n planes per m ticks as a tunable?

It's be cool if it trickled over almost like quadtiles though so the hologram resolved like a progressive jpeg

Aah right. Is the calculation the pain, or is it the huge packet? Trickling the data over sounds to be a sensible thing to me though.

Aaah, fair enough, though won't that increase bandwidth as more chunks will need to be xfered, or is the projector range limited?
Can you do all the culling of blocks etc server-side and essentially send a compressed 'shell' of information?

I was like that my first few days at uni. Eventually someone will come day 'hi' and then you'll have a friend for life. Have faith. *hug*
