WebMC is an experimental proof-of-concept Minecraft client written in JavaScript that runs directly inside a web browser. Instead of requiring a traditional desktop installation of the game, WebMC allows users to connect to Minecraft servers from a browser environment. The client communicates with a WebSocket proxy that bridges the browser connection with the standard Minecraft server protocol. By leveraging browser technologies and modern JavaScript libraries, the project demonstrates how a voxel-based game client can run using web-based graphics and networking systems. WebMC also showcases how browser-based applications can interact with multiplayer game servers using real-time communication channels. The project is primarily intended as a technical experiment and educational demonstration of browser-based game development.
