prismarine-web-client

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

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.

Development

If you're contributing/making changes, you need to install it differently.

First, clone the repo.

Then, set your working directory to that of the repo. For example:

$ cd ~/prismarine-viewer/

Finally, run

$ npm install
$ npm run build-start

Then connect to http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
