Minecraft is FAR bigger and more complicated than people give it credit for. Getting a terrain generation demo running in a browser is not even remotely the same thing.

Minecraft started as a Java browser plugin game. I think that's what the GP is referring to, not "Show HN: Minecraft in 3 lines of Javascript"

I think he's talking about the apps for the various ecosystems. Although they're not feature-complete.

Well, no, they're not as rich as the desktop versions.

But as they've had a team port (a trimmed version of) Minecraft to xbox live arcade, and the iPad, it would surprise me if they're not already working on a *.js version.

Is it that big of a leap from voxel.js, which is already doing this with pure javascript? (genuinely curious)
