This is an experimental port of Minetest to the web using emscripten/WebAssembly.
This has only been tested on Ubuntu 20.04.
- Ubuntu: apt-get install -y build-essential cmake tclsh
cd minetest-wasm
./build_all.sh
If the build completes successfully, the www/ directory will contain the entire application. This
includes an .htaccess file which sets headers that are required (by browsers) to load the app.
If your webserver does not recognize .htaccess files, you may need to set the headers in
another way.
By default, the proxy server is set to wss://minetest.dustlabs.io/proxy (see static/launcher.js).
This is necessary for network play, since websites cannot open normal TCP/UDP sockets. This proxy
is located in California. There are regional proxies which may perform better depending on your
location:
North America (Dallas) - wss://na1.dustlabs.io/mtproxy South America (Sao Paulo) - wss://sa1.dustlabs.io/mtproxy Europe (Frankfurt) - wss://eu1.dustlabs.io/mtproxy Asia (Singapore) - wss://ap1.dustlabs.io/mtproxy Australia (Melbourne) - wss://ap2.dustlabs.io/mtproxy
You could also roll your own own custom proxy server. The client code is here:

The Emscripten SDK (emsdk) will be downloaded and installed the first time you build. To provide
your own instead, set $EMSDK before building (e.g. using emsdk_env.sh). An external Emscripten
may need to be patched by running this exactly once:
./apply_patches.sh /path/to/emsdk
