Web-based minecraft, when?

Fun fact: one of the first versions of Minecraft (the "classic" one) was playable in a web browser. I actually did play it as a young teen and later thought I must have dreamt it, when I couldn't find it anywhere.

Yeah I remember that. I think it was back in version 1.6 or something. It kinda blew my mind as a kid playing a full-on computer game in a browser.

Without a doubt the most impressive thing I've seen with CSS. This immediately brought "A Single Div"[0] to mind, which stood as the coolest CSS demo I'd seen for... 11 years! This one takes the cake. I'll be pouring over it. Thanks! [0]: https://a.singlediv.com/

Wow, mobile Safari hates this. Zooming in and scrolling around crashes the page constantly.

Works fine on my iPhone 14.

Similar problems on my MBP, actually – just sans crashed tab. Zooming in and scrolling around on Chrome and Safari cause the divs to rerender (repaint?) and often not all of them even do! E.g. Chrome: https://imgur.com/a/VWCAL9G

Scrolling is fine in Firefox but extremely slow.

Pretty slick! I never had played minecraft before. I never knew how blocks were place down until I ran this page. But it needs to be able to use the mouse to rotate, and mouse-wheel to scale!

When playing the actual game, your viewpoint moves with the character, moved by the WASD keys and oriented with the mouse. You can only ever place one block at a time, though.
