I guess it's a bit like the official browser based Minecraft

https://classic.minecraft.net/

Doesn't seem massively newsworthy to me.

Dunno, the engine in the article looks pretty impressive to me. And I say that as the author of a fair chunk of the "official" version (I'm not affiliated with Mojang, but they built minecraft classic on my JS voxel engine).

Did you gain anything from them using your work?

Lots of HN upvotes ;)

But no, they didn't contact me or anything. There was a thread on it, let me dig it up...

The official Classic version actually uses an open-source library like this one for the rendering and most of the legwork.
