## What it is
Cubyz is a 3D voxel sandbox game inspired by Minecraft, written in Zig. It features large render distances via level-of-detail, 3D chunks without height limits, and procedural crafting with infinite tool possibilities.

## Use cases
- play a free open-source voxel sandbox game
- explore procedurally generated voxel worlds with far view distances
- craft tools with infinite procedural crafting combinations
- build and mine in a Minecraft-like 3D world
- study a game engine written in Zig
- contribute to an open-source voxel game project

## When to choose
- you want an open-source Minecraft alternative with large render distances
- you're interested in reading or contributing to a Zig game codebase
- you want unlimited-height 3D chunks and procedural crafting
- you run Windows or Linux with OpenGL 4.3 support

## When to avoid
- you need macOS support (no OpenGL 4.3)
- you want a polished, feature-complete game with mods and multiplayer ecosystems
- you need a stable production game rather than an in-development project

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: gaming-tools, graphics
- platform: windows, cross-platform
