Very nice! The texturing and lighting are what really makes this demo. Unfortunately, it only displays correctly for me in Firefox Developer Edition, not FF 33.0, in which the picture is skewed: http://i.imgur.com/7i74m36.jpg . If you're into tiny cube-based 3D engines also have a look at this demo for the Lobster programming language ( http://strlen.com/lobster ): http://i.imgur.com/ZZWFkXn.jpg . Its entire source c…

FWIW,

Firefox 33.1 (Mac) seems to work fine....

The creator wrote up a blog post on his entry: http://birdgames.nl/2014/04/js1k-post-mortem-minecraft/ Lots of very interesting details, but surprised to see setInterval instead of requestAnimationFrame

If I remember correctly the lava is the hardest thing to efficiently render, correct? Cool regardless.

Why would it be any more difficult than rendering the water?

Nice - though I must say this kind of graphics (with music..) was done in similarly sized 1k/4k assembly demos -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1Q9LtnnE4w
