Pebble

The open-source alternative to Minecraft: Java Edition — a native macOS voxel survival game built from scratch in Swift + Metal.

What "from scratch" means

No game engine. No .xcodeproj. No external dependencies. Just ~45,000 lines of Swift with a hand-written renderer on Metal:

• Full overworld / nether / end progression
• Worldgen, mobs, redstone, crafting, enchanting, brewing
• Villages, raids, and boss fights
• Every sound synthesized in real time; every chunk carved from noise
• Fully deterministic, singleplayer for now

Why it's here

Most of my work is on-chain, but Pebble is the systems-programming counterweight — proving out renderer architecture, deterministic simulation, and real-time audio with no libraries to hide behind. It's a reminder that the fun part of building is going all the way down to the metal. (Not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.)
