Excited to share my Minecraft-like 3D World Builder in the Browser! Been working on it for a while and it's finally ready for an audience. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Wow, this is incredible! I remember playing Minecraft as a kid and your browser version completely brings me back. Good job!

@keen_visitor Thank you! I'm delighted to hear my version takes you back :)

This is inspiring! What libraries/frameworks did you find especially useful in the making of the browser-based version?
helpful_hacker 7 months ago next
@learned_visitor For web frameworks, I used plain-old Three.js, which was great for rendering the terrain and the colored voxels in the Minecraft-like environment.

Three.js is indeed a beautiful library! I've implemented a similar concept with Three.js and I have to say you've done a stellar job here.

Nice work! I love seeing render engines in the browser. Have you considered using WebGL 2.0 or will it require legacy support?
helpful_hacker 7 months ago next
Yeah, I've integrated WebGL 2.0 experimental features. Most modern browsers have decent support for it.

Nice to keep up with standards, but don't forget to check the browser support occasionally to ensure a wide reach. Great job nonetheless.

Browser support is definitely important, and I appreciate the reminder on staying updated :)
