Eaglercraft 1.8.8 is a browser-based, open-source reimplementation of Minecraft Java Edition version 1.8.8. It runs entirely within a web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly, requiring no installation, plugins, or official Minecraft account. The project is not a mod or a hacked client but a ground-up rewrite of the Minecraft client and a compatible server proxy.
