ClassiCube is a custom Minecraft Classic and ClassiCube client written in C that works on Windows, OSX, Linux, BSD, Solaris, Haiku, and in a browser.
**It is not affiliated with (or supported by) Mojang AB, Minecraft, or Microsoft in any way.**

You can grab the latest stable binaries [from here](https://www.classicube.net/download/) and the very latest builds [from here](https://www.classicube.net/nightlies/).

#### What ClassiCube is
* A complete re-implementation of Minecraft Classic, with optional additions.
* Lightweight, minimal memory usage compared to the vanilla client.
* Works with effectively all graphics cards that support OpenGL or Direct3D 9.

It **does not** work with 'modern/premium' Minecraft servers.

#### Requirements
* Windows: 2000 or later. (Windows 98 with KernelEx also *technically* works)
* macOS: macOS 10.5 or later. (Can be compiled to work with 10.3/10.4 though)
* Linux: libcurl and libopenal.

**Note:** When running from within VirtualBox, disable Mouse Integration, otherwise the camera will not work properly.

#### Instructions
Initially, you will need to run ClassiCube.exe to download the required assets from minecraft.net. 
Just click 'OK' to the dialog menu that appears when you start the launcher.

**Singleplayer**
Run ClassiCube.exe, then click Singleplayer at the main menu.

**Multiplayer**
Run ClassiCube.exe. You can connect to LAN/locally hosted servers, ~~minecraft.net servers,~~ and classicube.net servers through the launcher.

###### *Windows specific*
*If you are stuck using the built-in OpenGL 1.1 software renderer, you can use the MESA software renderer from [here](http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/llvmpipe/windows/) for slightly better performance. Typically though, this occurs because you have not installed GPU drivers.*

### Compiling - Windows

##### Using Visual Studio
Open ClassiCube.sln and compile it.

If you get a ```The Windows SDK version 5.1 was not found``` compilation error, [see here for how to fix](doc/compile-fixes.md#visual-studio-unsupported-platform-toolset)

##### Using Visual Studio (command line)
1. Use 'Developer Tools for Visual Studio' from Start Menu
2. Navigate to directory with game's source code
3. Enter `cl.exe *.c /link user32.lib gdi32.lib crypt32.lib ws2_32.lib wininet.lib winmm.lib dbghelp.lib d3d9.lib shell32.lib /out:ClassiCube.exe`

##### Using MinGW-w64
I am assuming you used the installer from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/
1. Install MinGW-W64
2. Use either *Run Terminal* from Start Menu or run *mingw-w64.bat* in the installation folder
3. Navigate to directory with game's source code
4. Enter `gcc *.c -o ClassiCube.exe -mwindows -lws2_32 -lwininet -lwinmm -limagehlp -lcrypt32 -ld3d9`

##### Using MinGW
I am assuming you used the installer from http://www.mingw.org/
1. Install MinGW. You need mingw32-base-bin and msys-base-bin packages.
2. Run *msys.bat* in the *C:\MinGW\msys\1.0* folder.
3. Navigate to directory with game's source code
4. Enter `gcc *.c -o ClassiCube.exe -mwindows -lws2_32 -lwininet -lwinmm -limagehlp -lcrypt32 -ld3d9`

### Compiling - Linux

##### Using gcc/clang

Install appropriate libs as required. For ubuntu these are: libx11-dev, libxi-dev and libgl1-mesa-dev

```gcc *.c -o ClassiCube -lm -lpthread -lX11 -lXi -lGL -ldl```

##### Cross compiling for windows:

```i686-w64-mingw32-gcc *.c -o ClassiCube.exe -mwindows -lws2_32 -lwininet -lwinmm -limagehlp -lcrypt32 -ld3d9```

##### Raspberry pi
Although the regular linux compiliation flags will work fine, to take full advantage of the hardware:

```gcc *.c -o ClassiCube -DCC_BUILD_RPI -lm -lpthread -lX11 -lEGL -lGLESv2 -ldl```

### Compiling - macOS

##### Using gcc/clang (32 bit)

```cc *.c -o ClassiCube -framework Carbon -framework AGL -framework OpenGL```

##### Using gcc/clang (64 bit)

```cc *.c -o ClassiCube -framework Cocoa -framework OpenGL -lobjc```

### Compiling - other desktop OSes

#### FreeBSD

```clang *.c -o ClassiCube -I /usr/local/include -L /usr/local/lib -lm -lpthread -lX11 -lXi -lGL -lexecinfo```

#### OpenBSD

Install libexecinfo, curl and openal package if needed.

```cc *.c -o ClassiCube -I /usr/X11R6/include -I /usr/local/include -L /usr/X11R6/lib -L /usr/local/lib -lm -lpthread -lX11 -lXi -lGL -lexecinfo```

#### NetBSD

```gcc *.c -o ClassiCube -I /usr/X11R7/include -I /usr/pkg/include -L /usr/X11R7/lib -L /usr/pkg/lib  -lpthread -lX11 -lXi -lGL -lexecinfo```

#### DragonflyBSD

```gcc *.c -o ClassiCube -I /usr/local/include -L /usr/local/lib -lm -lpthread -lX11 -lXi -lGL -lexecinfo```

#### Solaris

```gcc *.c -o ClassiCube -lm -lsocket -lX11 -lXi -lGL```

NOTE: You have to change entry->d_type == DT_DIR to Directory_Exists(&path) (TODO do this automatically)

#### Haiku

Install libsdl2_devel, openal_devel, and libexecinfo_devel package if needed.

```gcc *.c -o ClassiCube -lm -lexecinfo -lGL -lnetwork -lSDL2```

NOTE: You have to change entry->d_type == DT_DIR to Directory_Exists(&path) (TODO do this automatically)

### Compiling - other

#### Web

```emcc *.c -s FETCH=1 -s ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1 --preload-file texpacks/default.zip```

The generated javascript file has some issues. [See here for how to fix](doc/compile-fixes.md#webclient-patches)

##### Other

You'll have to write the necessary code. You should read portability.md in doc folder.

### Known compilation errors

[Fixes for compilation errors when using musl or old glibc for C standard library](doc/compile-fixes.md#common-compilation-errors)

### Documentation

Functions and variables in .h files are mostly documented.

Further information (e.g. style) for the game's source code can be found in the doc and misc folders.

#### Tips
* Press escape (after joining a world) or pause to switch to the pause menu.
* Pause menu -> Options -> Controls lists all of the key combinations used by the client. 
* Note that toggling 'vsync' to on will minimise CPU usage, while off will maximimise chunk loading speed.
* Press F to cycle view distance. A smaller number of visible chunks can improve performance.

* If the server has disabled hacks, key combinations such as fly and speed will not do anything.
* To see the list of built in commands, type `/client`.
* To see help for a given built in command, type `/client help <command name>`.
