Original author here. Saw a lot of traffic to my GitHub repo and wondered where it was coming from. The Python clone I wrote is pretty cool and minimal, but I'm much more proud of a clone I later wrote in C: https://github.com/fogleman/Craft This one is much more performant and has way more features, including online multiplayer. The server is in Python. Here's a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tScCneiTG…

Why did you choose to store the state in a database? It seems like an unusual choice for a game.

What bothers me here is that people claim to program "Minecraft in X lines", when in fact all they create is a block (voxel) game engine. Minecraft is much more than that, it has redstone circuits, farming, mobs, structures, biomes, potion brewing, netherworld, fire, etc... Mind you, I don't want to belittle anyone's efforts. I think this is an awesome programming project. But its description is misleading.

Line count is always misleading.

I implemented Minecraft in Bash in 2 lines.

Love the Python version. Am planning to use it on our local CoderDojo to help teach kids to code some basic concepts etc. Awesome job! Thanks!
