This project is a simplified version of Minecraft that runs inside a terminal window rather than as a graphical application. Instead of a proper game window with 3D graphics, it draws the game using text characters and colors printed directly to the command line. The project is written in Java and is inspired by a similar C-language project. The README is brief and does not describe which Minecraft features are included, so the exact scope of what is implemented is not stated. Screenshots are referenced but are stored as image files in the repository, so you would need to browse the repo to see them. Running the project is straightforward in VS Code's built-in terminal, which works out of the box. Running it in the Windows Command Prompt requires a few extra steps: you add a small snippet of Java code to enable color output in the Windows terminal, then adjust the Command Prompt window to a specific size and buffer configuration before launching the compiled file. The README lists the exact width and height settings needed. This is a hobby project demonstrating that a Minecraft-style game can be rendered in a plain text terminal using Java's color and character output capabilities. It is aimed at developers or curious programmers who want to see how terminal-based rendering works, rather than at people looking for a playable Minecraft replacement.
