:earth_asia: A Minecraft-like voxel engine built in Javascript. (formerly mc.js)

❗ mine.js was previously mc.js, which has been taken down by a DMCA notice.

MineJS is a javascript-based voxel engine that runs in your browser!

Motivation

We thought it would be interesting to design a game that is inspired by the popular voxel engine "Minetest" with javascript. We are interested to see if javascript can deliver quality graphics and performance, and interactive multiplayer game play within a 3D voxel type environment.
