Tip
Windows users: We have a script called quickstart.bat that will launch the server for you, which combines steps 3 and 4 below.
- Download and extract this repo somewhere on your computer
- Install our Dependencies
- Open the folder you downloaded in a command prompt
- Run
npm start
Once it tells you the world has started, open up http://localhost in your browser and play!
Tip
Advanced users: You can customize your setup by copying the .env.example file to .env. This is not necessary to connect and develop.
Tip
If you're using VS Code (recommended), we have an extension to install on the marketplace.
Content developers should run npm start. The server will watch for changes to scripts and configs, then automatically repack everything.
Engine developers should run npm run dev. This does what npm start does above, but also completely restarts the server when engine code has changed.
