prismarine-web-client
A Minecraft client running in a web page. Live demo at https://prismarine-web-client.js.org
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.
