Building Javascript Minecraft in 1 hour – [React & Three.js Tutorial]



Minecraft Viki (video wiki) ➜ https://minecraft.viki.gg

In this video i show how to build a minecraft clone in Javascript using React.js, Three.js and React Three Fiber.

EDIT: nanoid as key on every render is a bad practice, instead it should be applied to each cube on creation in the store, see repo for final implementation 😀👇

Starting point for video: https://github.com/danba340/minecraft-react/tree/dev

React three fiber video mentioned in the intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGG0EeMNUl0

The game supports five Minecraft block types: Dirt, Grass, Wood, Log and Glass.
You can move around using the mouse and WASD, You can click and Alt+click to add and remove blocks. The tutorial includes many React concepts such as useState, useEffect, useRef and custom Hooks for State management and Keyboard input. Zustand is used for the state management.
