## What it is
A JavaScript library for building 3D voxel games in the browser using three.js and HTML5. It provides chunk-based world generation, block materials, player physics, and a simple API for creating Minecraft-style games.

## Use cases
- build a minecraft-like game in the browser
- create a 3d voxel world with javascript
- generate procedural voxel terrain in html5
- make a browser-based block building game
- prototype voxel game mechanics with three.js

## When to choose
- you want to build a voxel/block game that runs in the browser
- you need a simple, hackable JavaScript voxel engine with a plugin ecosystem
- you're learning 3D game development with three.js

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained engine with active support and modern tooling
- you're building a high-performance or production-scale game
- you need mobile or native platform support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: graphics, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: voxel, threejs, html5, minecraft-like, 3d, game-development, javascript, web
