From the README
Cubyz is a 3D voxel sandbox game (inspired by Minecraft).
Cubyz is written in Zig, a rather small language with some cool features and a focus on readability.
Windows and Linux are supported. Mac is not supported, as it does not have OpenGL 4.3.
Check out the Discord server for more information and announcements.
There are also some devlogs on YouTube.
Until recently (the Zig rewrite was started in August 2022) Cubyz was written in Java. You can still see the code in the Cubyz-Java repository and play it using the Java Launcher.
// TODO: Move this over to a separate repositoryOriginally Cubyz was created on August 22, 2018 by zenith391 and ZaUserA. Back then, it was called "Cubz".
However, both of them lost interest at some point, and now Cubyz is maintained by IntegratedQuantum.
