I started building a Minecraft Colony Builder from scratch and burned 1 BILLION+ tokens in 4 days

This project is heavily built with the new Cursor Grok 4.5, and I think this is the best model I’ve ever used for complex ideas like this. I wish I could continue

In 5 days, Grok 4.5 achieved :

  • a complete command camera view
  • WASD pan movement, Q / E 45° rotate, scroll zoom
  • No survival HUD, hands, or inventory
  • RTS cursor picks the ground under you
  • placeable and inspectable structure that can be rotated (currently set to place a construction site instead of the actual structure)
  • a road brush tool
  • a road eraser tool
  • live resource stockpile on the HUD
  • buildings cost resources - can’t afford it, can’t place it
  • resources, sites, and roads save across quit/reload

Completely multiplayer btw

The development speed is ridiculous
