It works, reasonably well (after a few small enhancements/fixes to Emscripten) but did not get very far.
My humble attempt at such a project: (2017) - a port of Michael Fogleman's Craft, a simple Minecraft clone written in C, ported to the web using WebAssembly and Emscripten. One step closer to the metaverse.Ī web-based "Minecraft" has great potential, in my opinion, and has long been a dream of mine. Even if it may not the be all to end all, hopefully the UX blockers can be resolved, fit and finish, if not in Minetest itself maybe it will inspire others to create something anew with lessons learned from your port. I appreciate it moving the needle in the "web-based Minecraft clone" niche. In any case, thank you for your work porting Minetest to the web. Although the same could be said for Minecraft itself.
MINETEST TNT MOD MODS
At this point, maybe a rewrite focused on web support from the beginning would easier than a port? But _a lot_ of work was put into Minetest over the years, it is great having the library of mods already developed for Minetest, available on the web. It also works well on mobile browsers without escape keys.īut the problems with multi-gigabyte world storage, multi-threaded networking, SharedArrayBuffer, may require more invasive architectural changes. But I agree there's a lot of papercuts, and tracking down each of the usability nits could essentially be a full-time job.įor the keybinding problem, I've found using backquote/tilde key for escape can sufficiently workaround the un-interceptable escape key. With _some_ success the developers of Emscripten are happy to accept pull requests. I think what is really needed is a UI/UX expert (unfortunately not me) willing to push forward and drive fixes across the entire stack: the game engine, Emscripten, and even investigating and submitting fixes/enhancements to web browsers - owning the complete experience.įor what it's worth, when porting NetCraft I did make an effort to isolate, fix and upstream various UX fixes to Emscripten: I sympathize with the persistent UX issues with web-based voxel engines. Its market share is just too low and chromium works also on linux. I regretted the huge amount of work I did to cater to firefox limitations. (With a link to the technical limitations of what you just wrote, so you do not get yelled at so much by the firefox only crowd, who otherwise assume you did it out of evil neglect) "The network issues are specific to Firefox"Īnd honestly, I would not care too much and just make it clear, that it does not yet run stable in firefox and recommend chromium.
MINETEST TNT MOD FREE
The global limit is calculated as 50% of free disk space." "The maximum browser storage space is dynamic - it is based on your hard drive size. The global limit is just tied to the users avaiable free space. My app also uses way over 1 GB after a while with no issues. I don't think IndexedDB is meant for that." Article taken from ."For storage, a bare minimum Minetest world needs 1GB, grow-able to multiple gigabytes.

Since it's only a game engine, out of the box it's a little bare-bones.
