About Paper Minecraft

Paper Minecraft is a remarkable 2D fan-made tribute to the sandbox classic Minecraft, built entirely in Scratch by developer griffpatch. Moving from three dimensions to a side-scrolling perspective, this version captures the core gameplay of mining, crafting, building, and surviving in a blocky, procedurally generated world.

Players can choose between Survival, Creative, and Peaceful game modes, each offering a distinct experience. Whether you want to gather resources, fend off nighttime mobs, and manage your hunger, or simply build massive structures with unlimited blocks, the game runs smoothly directly in your web browser with no installation needed.

Controls

  • A / D or Left / Right Arrow: Move left and right
  • W or Up Arrow: Jump (or swim in water)
  • Space (Double Tap): Toggle fly mode (Creative mode only)
  • Left-Click: Mine blocks, place blocks, or attack mobs
  • E: Open or close your inventory
  • E (while pointing at a block): Open chest, crafting table, furnace, or door
  • 1 to 9: Select items on your hotbar
  • Q: Drop the currently active item
  • F: Consume food to restore hunger or health
  • O: Save your game progress
  • P: Pause or resume the game
  • T: Open the chat bar to type commands

Tips

  • Build a shelter before nightfall: Mobs like Zombies, Skeletons, and Creepers will spawn in the dark. A simple dirt or wood shelter with a door is enough to keep you safe during your first night.
  • Master the commands: Pressing T opens the chat menu, allowing you to use Minecraft commands. For example, type /gamemode c to switch to Creative mode or /time set d to immediately bring back daylight.
  • Check your hunger bar: In Survival mode, your hunger drains over time. Keep food items like apples or cooked meat in your hotbar, and press F to eat before your health starts to decline.
