ClassiCube is created in the C programming language, so it makes sense. It's mainly ClassiCube servers and the specific server softwares that build on the experience of the game, not the client itself. You could even add custom blocks using a server software such as MCGalaxy and have a lightweight Minecraft-like game with all of the modern blocks (but none of the functions).
Oh yeah it would be pretty epic to see a bunch more computers being all connected to a server, potentially with a regular generated world. Could also try a little community event where you could host a server and allow other channel members to play around in.
@@ZerickKilgore Oh alright I see. I mean im not completely sure on how the server generates the world and what other features are available since I haven't looked into this much myself. But it could be a good stress test for MJD to see how it is with a ton of players on in a non-flat world.
I just tried classicube in my iPad browser and it consistently gets around 60FPS! That’s amazing! My iPad browser has a lot of trouble with 3D games, so the fact that it could run classicube is downright shocking.
It's amazing how they can take these old versions of Minecraft and port them down to work in older operating systems and then build a community from it
The channel ActionRetro used this ClassiCube a lot of times. And then MJD discovers it. Would be good for his old PowerPC clamshell stuff, too, I guess.
Thanks for this video, I've played around with this a few times but didn't really look into it closely until now. The source code for this is great. All you have to do is set up a basic dev environment, clone the Git, and 'make' if you have an unsupported system. ARM, MIPS, SPARK, everything is on the table with this project and I had no clue until now.
Here's a ClassiCube tip for anyone with slow, retro systems that get below 30 fps: Open the graphics settings/video settings and change "Camera Mass" to any number between 1 and 5. I like 2. Then turn on Smooth Camera. This will make the game look a bit nicer and smoother on slower retro systems or old laptops like a 90s/2000s PowerBook.
I would love to see that video where you connect all the computers running ClassiCube to the same server! I love ClassiCube and I’m glad to see it getting some appreciation. I love your videos and am so jealous of the amazing classic hardware and software you’ve got your hands on. I’m not sure I’d ever leave my home again with so many old PCs and the like to play with…. Also I am so excited for your Haiku video! Can’t wait!
I just wish you could play _modern_ Minecraft on an older system.... Though that's probably infeasible for a number of reasons. Still, it's cool to be able to see this in action!
I managed to run Classicube on the Google Nest Hub the other day, Classicube is actually the best alternative to Minecraft Classic too! I am so glad that Michael MJD's attention went straight into Classicube. This games pure gold for it's compatability
Never knew that you can only play open source versions of Minecraft like Classicube. Mine at the other time I had was Minetest, another Minecraft clone I used to play when I was 13 years old back then. Ah the nostalgia is just fighting back to it's full glory, especially with Windows 98 involved. 😄😁🤗
for those joining the classicube community now, i really recommend you to install the CEF plugin and play the Not Awesome 2's parkour maps, I believe you can just find the tp on the hub, but "/g shrine" should do it
I'm sure this would run perfectly well on my Windows 98SE desktop, but I just had to try it on the Pentium II laptop. My Compaq Armada 1750. Unfortunately the poor laptop is struggling with this at 1FPS. lol Brings me back to when I was challenged to run an actual Minecraft server on my Windows 98 system ten years back, it worked. Though the world generation was a bit on the slow slide but it worked.
Im pretty sure the guy on the channel Action Retro uses it and has even mentioned it when he does and its wild to see these projects and to see people actually get use out of it and actually show it off to others who may be unaware
This is really cool. I'd be willing to try this. I remember the days of minecraft just being a JAR file to launch. I played mostly from beta 1.4 to release 1.9. I didn't pick it up until 1.16. I remember in like 2012 the game ran really poorly on windows 7 on my Thinkpad T500(It was a freebie that I pulled from a dumpster and had 1 more month of support so I sent it in to get the bios fixed). The poor performance is what kinda pushed me to use linux more since it played better on Ubuntu.
OMG I LOVE CLASSICUBE! I used to play it on my first computer my parents gave me it was running windows xp this was about 8 years ago. and its currently on my taskbar in windows 10
Really nice vid classicube is a really cool clone and is also compatible with classic Minecraft servers I believe it also used to have a survival test mode which I believe can be enabled in compiling
Nice video as always ! I really like your content ! But I don’t really understand why the game download the audio on a server ? It would simpler if it was directly included in the archive especially for older systems

Wow, I've always wanted to play Minecraft on my HP Pavilion a735w (it runs Windows 98 and somehow isn't able to run Windows XP, despite originally shipping with XP Home). It's a shame I can't hook it up to the Internet. There's a lot of things I'm missing out on not being able to connect my Windows 98 computer up to the Internet...
Hope you can eventually connect it to the internet, I have an HP Pavilion too and it came with windows xp media center edition! I got the restore cds to install xp on it again recently and I might do it soon. If you don't have ethernet, you could get a wifi card for it, hope you eventually get windows xp to run on it too
Og minecraft classic from 2009 is still playable for free officially on the web, but classicube on web seems to be much better, it can even run on my android tablet and give a consistent ~60 fps, while the official minecraft classic complains about not having a keyboard and refusing to run. Ofc both will run perfectly fine on the desktop unless you're running an older os.
Also, i remember experimenting ClassiCube on Windows 98 (in Virtual Machine) back in 2022, and the average fps I got is 15-30 fps. Also multiplayer doesn't work in that time, so i asked the developer and they immediately fix it afterwards.
I literally have those exact speakers... lol They're connected to the television in my room via an RCA to 3.5mm adapter... the television that I never use.
It's always sad to see that there was a time when programs were fast written by competent developers instead of having that bloated steaming pile, where even windows calculator has a loading splash screen on a high-end machine. (And today these are so rare, that people are in disbelief that software can be actually fast)
Did you try with a proper "hardware" for the W98? This hardware is more like a WinXP era. What about an Pentium MMX or Pentium II? 32mb of ram? PCI VGA with 2 or 4mb?
Classicube's community is booming now thanks to you, new players are joining like hotcakes. Thank you

What makes it different? Does classic Minecraft not have multiplayer? I never played it
@@li_tsz_fung Classic MC did have multiplayer, but it's probably not super active these days (and I think you need a third-party launcher now)
The biggest differences with ClassiCube to me are that 1. it's written in C instead of Java, which seems to help a lot with performance (I get 3-4x the FPS), and 2. the code's open source + mostly platform-independent, so you could get it running on a wide variety of systems

Woah, how did you do that? I assume just using its browser? Or did you sideload it?
Finally! My beard has gotten so long waiting for Mojang to bring Minecraft to my Windows 98 PC!
I think the thing I love most about this project even existing is that it's written in C. Since it's done compiling, I think I'll go play it.
Please do! Haiku is an amazing OS, it has a bunch more application support than you'd expect!
