Getting started

Option 1: Pre-built binaries

Option 2: Building from source

To build the Lodecraft client, you just need:

• Zig 0.14.0
• Git

# Clone the source code to your machine
git clone https://github.com/terraquad/lodecraft_client.git
cd lodecraft_client
# Build the client
zig build --release=fast -Dship # For a release build
zig build --release=safe # For a development build
# For more options, see: zig build -h

The build is located in zig-out/bin. When moving it to a different location, copy the entire directory and not just the executable.

To run it, open lodecraft_client[.exe].

Optional: Add to Minecraft Launcher
