A minecraft client running in a web page. Demo at https://prismarine-web-client.js.org
### A Minecraft client running in a web page. **Live demo at https://prismarine-web-client.js.org**
It runs mineflayer in the browser which connects to a websocket minecraft server.
It provides a simple websocket to tcp proxy as a backend to make it possible to connect to any minecraft server.
## How it Works
prismarine-web-client runs mineflayer and prismarine-viewer in the browser, which connects over WebSocket to a proxy which translates the WebSocket connection into TCP to connect to normal Minecraft servers.

## Usage
## Live Demo
Click on this link to open it in your browser, no installation necessary: https://prismarine-web-client.js.org
`npm install -g prismarine-web-client` then run `prismarine-web-client` then open `http://localhost:8080` in your browser
*Tested on Chrome & Firefox for desktop platforms.*
## Usage (for self-hosted installations)
If you want the latest version or want to use auth, you can host an instance yourself.
Run these commands in bash:
```bash
$ npm install -g prismarine-web-client
$ prismarine-web-client
```
Finally, open `http://localhost:8080` in your browser.
