Open source, clean room implementation of Minecraft Client

👾 Litecraft

Open source, clean room implementation of Minecraft Client. Currently work in progress, you should expect it not to work as desired.

💠 Features and differences with vanilla:

• Litecraft doesn't require or use Java.
• Native performance and great memory management.
• Faster and better rendering system.
• Multi-threaded.
• Rendering using shaders. Shaders are faster than old OpenGL calls.
• Less crashes! Safe by design.
• Supported by an awesome community.
• All vanilla client features.
• Launcher with assets downloader
• Awesome plugin / mod API.
• More soon™ We have some crazy ideas... ;)

🔧 Clone and Compile

• Clone the repository.
• Download and install Rust nightly.
• Open Minecraft 1.13 jar file using any zip extractor, and copy assets/minecraft to Litecraft resources folder, or use our Launcher in developer's mode.
• Build and run with cargo run
• Profit!

🎉 F.A.Q

🤔 How long will it take you to program a usable version?

Although we have thousands of hours of work, we probably have many thousands more.

😠 It doesn't compile!

Double check that you have the latest nightly Rust! We use experimental features, which allow us create awesome features!
