Craft is a simple Minecraft clone written in a few thousand lines of C using modern OpenGL shaders, with terrain generation via simplex noise and world persistence in SQLite. It supports online multiplayer through a Python-based server and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Use cases

• play a lightweight minecraft-like voxel game on desktop
• learn how to write a voxel game engine in C with OpenGL
• use a minimal codebase as a starting point for building a custom block game
• self-host a multiplayer voxel world server
• study terrain generation with simplex noise and shader-based rendering

When to choose

• you want a small, readable C codebase demonstrating OpenGL voxel rendering
• you need a lightweight minecraft-style game that runs on modest hardware
• you want a foundation to fork into your own voxel game
• you want to self-host a simple multiplayer block-building server

When to avoid

• you want a full-featured modern Minecraft alternative with mods and active development
• you need a production game engine or extensive tooling
• you prefer working in a higher-level language or a maintained engine like Godot or Unity
