Funny how the whole code was hosted on github, which Microsoft also owns. My guy stole their whole game and distributed it for free at their own lawn, what a chad.
-
The fact that Notch isn't working on Minecraft anymore meaning we can't get Quake 3 Arena matches between ingenious developers and Markuss is a real shame. Now they have to "settle" in "court" and set "precedents" and "new laws". That's boring.
-
This video made me realise how annoying it is that Java and JavaScript have similar names but nothing in common
-
Fun fact - In any pretty much any instance, it says Minceraft instead of Minecraft.
-
If Microsoft can sell a game and then take it away from your library because you didn't migrate your account, I say this is fair game.

i love eaglercraft, i introduced my whole technical graphics class to eagler since our pcs are so blocked in school we cant even open youtube. anyways now everyone is failing but we have a 3 month old world hosted on my pc that has every achievement complete lel

I honestly didn't know that SalC1's lawyer was from the stock free images that I use to edit my videos with.
-
dude that is so absurdly impressive that he substituted lwjgl in javascript, like those are some real programmer skills
-
Evil laser eyed Notch turned into evil laser eyed Jeb. Minecraft pokemon, ehm developer, evolution 👌
-
"Removing all that wasn't necessary" "All the music is removed" Something in my heart broke when I heard that
-
I remember this one time I was playing survival Eaglercraft on my chromebook in my study hall with the sound off and a creeper snuck up behind me and I jumped in my seat and the entire class looked at me. Good times.

they likely don't want to sue him over it because while his mod might aid in facilitating piracy, eaglercraft itself doesn't contain actual minecraft assets, and requires an actual copy of the game to get set up without relying on outside sources. they don't want another Lindows situation where a court decides eaglercraft is AOK and suddenly the DMCA takedowns for the mod itself can no longer be sent out
-
It's actually quite impressive how well it runs on a literal browser
-
considering that the entire project can, as far as i get it, be downloaded in under a minute and ran fully offline i doubt it will ever die die
-
Notch: Let's settle this over Quake. Lawyers: The fuck is Quake?
-
the holy trinity: can it run doom? can it run crysis? can it run eaglercraft?
-
The fact Mojang didn't accept the offer to use it in an official capacity is unsurprising but disappointing. Making it so that people who otherwise couldn't are able to play the game is honestly great, not to mention the amazing absurdity of such a complex game managing to run on JavaScript, but unfortunately the likelihood of Mojang being able to play ball even if they wanted to is basically zero since they're owned by Microsoft.
-
The fact that it runs so well in this form just speaks volumes about how terribly normal minecraft runs
-
The whole concept of running Minecraft on a web browser really takes the game back to its roots. I used to sit in a college computer lab playing Minecraft during lectures as well back around 2011/2012 or so.

Honestly EaglerCraft dev is a legend for making something like this and it's a sad world we're living in where Microsoft can effectively bully every website into deleting his account.
