A voxel based Minecraft clone written from scratch in C and OpenGL infinite, chunked terrain generation, occlusion culled meshing, multithreaded chunk streaming, and basic block interaction.
Prebuilt Linux (x86_64) binaries are available on the Releases page no need to clone or build from source.
Download minecraft-clone-linux-x86_64.tar.gz from the latest release.
