CrossCraft-Classic is a project that implements Minecraft Java Edition: Classic without looking at any of the source code of the original application and without using the original copyrighted assets.

All knowledge is figured out with an understanding of in-game mechanics and is approximated to be as close as possible to the original. This project is not a clone of Minecraft, it is a fully implemented client. Check out the Server.

Textures are a combination of handmade and adaptations from Unity Pack under CC0.

CrossCraft's goal is to be platform-independent and work across all PC platforms and many major game consoles. CrossCraft supports Windows, Mac, Linux, and PSP. Further support will be added over time as systems change and upgrade.

This project is not associated with Mojang or Microsoft.

v1.2.1

  • This release addresses a few issues that snuck their way into v1.2. This is not a major feature update, no performance changes have been made.

Changes:

v1.2

  • CrossCraft v1.2 has been a major cornerstone in the game's optimization, performance, and parity with 0.30 across all platforms. In addition to that, it fixes several major issues including Multiplayer name resolution, PS Vita parity issues and Multiplayer, and Chunk Mesh generation which caused long lag times on weaker hardware. Render distances have also been enlarged on all platforms. Performance has improved at an average of 40-60% across the board.

Additions:

  • Added version and copyleft information on the main menu.
  • Create and store metadata per Chunk and Chunk Mesh to increase performance and decrease save file size.

  • Introduced a queue for chunk rendering to prevent game halting when crossing chunk borders.
  • Introduce distance fog on all platforms.

  • Fixed an issue on PSP with Windows file permissions on the texture pack directory.
  • Fixed an issue where texturepacks would not update the main menu.
