What is Blackvoxel?
Blackvoxel is an open-source voxel-based sandbox game where players crash-land on an alien planet and must survive, explore, and build in a fully destructible block-based world. It started as a hobby project in 2010 and is built on a custom voxel engine written in C++ with OpenGL. The game emphasizes freedom, creativity, and moddability through its open-source nature and included scripting support.
Gamers interested in open-source, moddable sandbox experiences, and developers looking to study or contribute to a voxel-based game engine. It appeals to players who enjoy survival, exploration, and creative building games.
As a fully open-source alternative to commercial voxel games, Blackvoxel offers complete transparency, modding capabilities, and cross-platform support without cost. Its custom voxel engine and permissive licensing allow for deep customization and community-driven development.
