VoxelCraft

Overview

VoxelCraft is a Minecraft-inspired voxel engine running entirely in the browser. It implements chunk-based world generation with greedy meshing for performance, Web Workers for off-thread mesh computation, and custom AABB collision detection—all rendered through Three.js and WebGL.

Key Features

• Chunk-Based Architecture: World divided into chunks with efficient loading/unloading as the player moves.
• Greedy Meshing: Combines adjacent block faces into larger quads, dramatically reducing triangle count.
• Web Workers: Mesh generation runs off the main thread to keep the render loop smooth.
• Procedural Terrain: Simplex noise-based world generation with biome-like variation.
• Custom Physics: AABB collision detection and response for player movement and block interaction.
• Block System: Multiple block types with different textures and properties.

Technology Stack

• Rendering: Three.js, WebGL
• Language: TypeScript (strict mode)
• Threading: Web Workers for mesh generation
• Terrain: Simplex noise procedural generation
• Build: Vite

Current Status

Active development with core voxel engine, chunk system, greedy meshing, and procedural terrain generation working in-browser.
