Install: unpack the archive for your system anywhere and run the game. Needs a GPU with Vulkan.

  • Windows: run weft.exe.
  • Linux (x64): tar xf Weft-*-linux-x64.tar.gz, then Weft/weft. Needs your GPU's Vulkan driver.
  • macOS (Apple Silicon, macOS 12 or newer): tar xf Weft-*-macos-arm64.tar.gz, then xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Weft, as the game is not signed by Apple, then Weft/weft. Vulkan comes with the game (MoltenVK).

Textures: the game comes with its own. If Minecraft is installed through the official launcher or Prism, Weft builds a resource pack from your copy on the first start (Settings > Resource Packs to turn it off). Nothing from Mojang is included or downloaded.

Multiplayer: pause menu > Multiplayer > Open to Friends gives a ticket; your friend pastes it into Multiplayer > Join.

Mods: put a mod's .zip into run/mods/. Mods are native libraries and have to be built for your system and the same engine version, see the modding cheat sheet.

The mod interface and the save format can still change between versions.

What's new

Combat, swimming and the sky now work like modern Minecraft, and the world got a lot more alive.

  • Combat: attack cooldown with an indicator under the crosshair, crits, sweeps, sprint knockback
  • Advancements: 19 to earn, with toasts and a screen on L
  • Sky: new sun, moon and stars, plus clouds that reach the horizon, with a height setting
  • Weather: rain, snow and thunder, /weather
  • Movement: modern swimming and crawling, head turns before the body in third person
  • Mobs: vanilla models for cow, pig, sheep, chicken, creeper and skeleton; creepers explode, skeletons shoot
  • Multiplayer: permission levels with /op and /deop, other players' mining is visible, player list on Tab
  • Also new: timed eating, more particles, suffocation and void damage, per-liquid fog, F11 fullscreen, reworked first-person hand

Fixed: death no longer lets you heal or pick things up, removed mobs stay gone after a reload, water keeps flowing after one, no item loss when leaving with an open menu or when a chest disappears, safer saves, no more fall damage from ladders or wasted buckets, and many smaller fixes.

For modders: the sky and liquids are fully moddable, reach and mining speed are attributes, and mods can read more from the client. Mods have to be rebuilt for this version.
