Playing ClassiCube, a Minecraft clone, on the SEGA Dreamcast is an interesting experience to say the least. Technically speaking, the port is based on the KallistiOS (BSD licensed) SDK and GLdc (BSD2 licensed) rendering library, but plays just like the actual game.
Michael MJD takes a deep dive into this port, showing us everything from Dream Pi connecting to the internet via the Dreamcast’s modem to some offline play. For those wondering, ClassiCube does support the console’s keyboard and mouse, as using the controller is a bit cumbersome. Before attempting to connect to ClassiCube for online play, make sure the system time is correct, otherwise you’ll just get an error.

It’s almost impressive to see such a smooth framerate on the Dreamcast. Let alone with something mimicking a game well known for being performance bottlenecked by Java. And this has multiplayer, I’m really gonna have to pay more attention to this project,” said one commenter.
