Versions and devices
What works
Minecraft versions
Java Edition worlds, so you can play Minecraft 1.21 worlds online, including every world ArnisWeb generates. The client may warn that a version is untested; city maps render normally. Bedrock .mcworld files cannot be opened here.
Browsers
Recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on a desktop or laptop. A dedicated graphics card helps on large cities.
Chromebooks
Most recent Chromebooks run smaller worlds well. Keep the render distance low on older models.
Phones and tablets
Possible, but not recommended: there is no keyboard, and iOS limits each tab to about 300 MB of memory. Download the world for the mobile game instead.
Questions about playing Minecraft in the browser
Do I need to download anything?
No. This Minecraft web client runs in your browser tab with no download or install; only the world file loads into the tab. To keep a world or play it in the full game, use the download button on its map page.
Is this the official Minecraft?
No. It is an unofficial client that reads Minecraft Java worlds. It does not include Mojang or Microsoft services, and it is not a replacement for the game.
How is this different from other browsercraft sites?
Most browsercraft sites run a generic world or a server list. Here you open a specific Java world, such as a real city from the map library or one you generated, and you can download the same world for the full game.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. After the world loads, click Invite friends to join and share the link. Friends join your world in their own browser after signing in, while you keep the page open. You can also download any map and host it on your own Java server.
Does it work on a Chromebook?
Yes, on most recent models. Start with a smaller city and leave the render distance at its default.
Are my changes saved?
No. Changes you make in the browser are lost when you close the tab. Download the world to build on it.
Why does my map not have a play button?
The browser client opens Java worlds only. Maps generated as Bedrock only, and library maps you have not unlocked, show the download options instead.
