Minecraft

So yea, it's a browser-based Java game where the world consists of cubes.

It's in alpha stage with currently with the only gamemode being sandbox. It will eventually have a survival (amongst others) mode.

At its current stage, you create and destroy various blocks in either a single- or multiplayer environment. It's got rudimentary physics, which means that sand and gravel blocks fall straight down and liquid cubes (water & lava) spreads by duplicating itself to an adjacent spot next to and below itself.

The multiplayer servers are hosted by other players or dedicated machines using the server files. Playing the full game is free until it gets done. At the moment, you can pre-purchase the full game (which will include more gamemodes, zombies, and more!). As a perk for pre-purchasing and supporting the lone developer, you're given the ability to modify your character and upload a custom skin.

Despite its flaws, it's a fun way to spend some time.
