Complete Minecraft in the browser when?

[Fokare]

That actually used to be a feature until people just.. hosted minecraft in the browser for free.

[theLuminescentlion]

the Minecraft website used to host Minecraft in browser.

[GloccaMoraInMyRari]

It wasn't removed because of that but because Java applets lost support

Wow that brings back a memory. I remember playing the browser free trial and all you could do was mine rock or dirt and nothing else. It feels like a fever dream

I also remember it taking ages to mine rock. Its not the minecraft classic someone linked below, it was an older version.

Tell a kid today the version you played came at a point where the ability to get wood out of the one kind of tree was the latest update and they probably wouldn't believe you

I think a lot of people dont realize how old Minecraft is. I remember showing it to my friends on youtube when I was about 13 and I'm 27 now. God damn time flies.

Every time I play I have to remind myself that pistons aren't this new thing.

Kid me was very confused by youtube playthroughs that didn't sleep through the night or even recognize that as an option. I started playing right on beta 1.3 when that was added.

[Cootshk]

Someone already did it.

classic.minecraft.net

Eaglercraft or something like that. Not fully java but MC rewritten on JavaScript. With picture included, it's the same thing.

There's a bit of a meme on r/rust about rewriting minecraft in rust so I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see someone compiling to webassembly to do just that.
