Eaglercraft is a reverse-engineered version of Minecraft’s Java Edition client that runs using WebAssembly (WASM) and WebGL. The original project (EaglercraftX) focused on the older Minecraft 1.5.2 and 1.8.8 versions. The core innovation was a full rewrite of the game’s rendering engine and networking layer to operate inside a <canvas> element.

Browser-Based:

It uses HTML and JavaScript to render the game, allowing it to run without a traditional launcher.
