JewishCraft

A blocky game ยท v1, b'ezrat hashem

Mine matzah.
Place menorahs.
Argue about it.

Jewish Craft is a first-person voxel sandbox that drops you somewhere between the Sinai Desert and the Lower East Side, hands you an olive-wood pickaxe, and gets out of the way. Build a Temple. Build a deli. Build a sukkah out of gefilte stone โ€” we won't tell.

"Six days shall you mine; on the seventh, kvetch."

Now with 22+ blocks. Some edible.
First-person voxel world

WASD + mouse. Break blocks with the left mouse button, place them with the right. You know the drill.

Procedural Jewish geography

Five biomes, hand-tuned palettes, olive trees that look stubborn even in cube form.

22+ themed blocks

Jerusalem stone, challah, schmaltz, the Ner Tamid, and yes, gefilte fish in load-bearing brick form.

Built in the browser

No download, no launcher, no Java edition vs. Bedrock argument. It just opens.

Codex of lore

Every block comes with a one-liner. Some are even reverent. A few are not.

More coming

Mobs (hello, Bubbie), crafting, Shabbat events, and a Golem you have to write instructions for.

Five biomes, one diaspora

The world is procedurally generated. Walk far enough in any direction and the landscape will probably remind you of somewhere your great-grandparents complained about.

  • Sinai Desert
    Sand. Sand. Limestone. Slightly more sand.
  • Land of Milk & Honey
    Olive groves and honey pools. Yes, you can drown in it.
  • Old City of Jerusalem
    Limestone walls that glow gold at golden hour.
  • Shtetl
    Wood, mud, and the feeling that someone is watching.
  • Lower East Side
    Brick tenements. Pickle barrel optional.

Nu, what are you waiting for?

The matzah isn't going to mine itself. (It would be ironic if it did.)
