BlockJS

An open source Minecraft clone that can be run in your browser and potentially in your school. This game uses WebGL 2, which is based from OpenGL ES 3.0. This game is inspired by MineKhan, which you can play at https://willard.fun/minekhan. Note that I made this game from scratch, so there's really nothing I took from MineKhan.

I made it so it also supports multiplayer, but to host the server, you might have to do a bit of tinkering with Node.js and WebSocket. Fortunately there is already a pre-made server to download in my GitHub repository.

Note that if you're playing on Khan Academy it will be a bit slower to load due to putting the whole game in one page.

Controls:

• W: Move forward
• A: Move left
• S: Move backward
• D: Move right
• Space: Jump (not implemented)
• Esc: Pause

And yes, it's still in development as the game is really buggy and feature-lacking. As more time passes, expect new features in the game.

You can add it to your game list and modify it as well it's licensed under the MIT license.

Compiling

Client

First, download and install the necessary packages through npm install. Then, simply run npm run build to compile the client. The output file will be at ./dist/bundle.js.

Server

There isn't a "compile" process for the server, although you can just modify the code directly.

BlockJS Server

It's the corresponding server to the client. Currently it is shipped as a CLI so basically clone this repository, and run the following lines to set up the server:

cd server
"<list of your players" > "ops.txt"
blockjs --server --port=<port>

This will start the server which you can access by joining at ws://localhost:<port>.

For now, it isn't published as a npm package, so you have to publish it yourself.

Modding

Just so you know, BlockJS has modding support, although it's a bit involved and rudimentary at the time. So basically, follow these steps:

First, you want to create a directory and add a file called index.js like here:

<root directory>
      |
      |
      |----- index.js

Then, you just have to simply include this comment at the very top of the file:

/** 
 * @blockjs @declaration
 * @requestObjects BlockJS
 */

Now, just write whatever code you like.

Attribution

This project uses JSZip and gl-matrix for the mod loading and renderin, respectively.
