## What it is
voxel.css is a lightweight JavaScript/CSS library for rendering 3D voxel worlds in the browser using pure CSS transforms, with no WebGL dependency. It provides Scene, World, Editor, and Voxel classes for building, editing, and saving voxel-based scenes.

## Use cases
- build 3D voxel worlds in the browser without WebGL
- create interactive block-building games with plain CSS 3D
- add rotatable, zoomable 3D scenes to a webpage
- make a Minecraft-like editor with autosave in JavaScript
- prototype lightweight 3D graphics using only CSS transforms

## When to choose
- you want 3D voxel rendering without WebGL or heavy 3D engines
- you need a tiny dependency-free library for simple 3D scenes
- you want built-in world editing and autosave out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need high performance or large scenes (CSS 3D is slower than WebGL)
- you need mobile touch support or shadows, which are unimplemented
- you need an actively maintained library (last release was 2016)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
