BlockCraft — Page Garden

⛏ Your browsing builds a world. BlockCraft turns your everyday browsing into a cozy Minecraft-style idle game. A tiny garden lives in the corner of every page and it grows while you browse. ───────────────────────────────────── 🌱 HOW IT WORKS ───────────────────────────────────── Every website you visit is classified into one of five categories, and each category grows its own unique Minecraft block in your garden: 🌱 Social media → Dirt block (Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Discord…) 🎬 Video → Obsidian block (YouTube, Twitch, Netflix…) 🛍 Shopping → Gold block (Amazon, Etsy, eBay…) 📰 News → Stone block (BBC, NYT, The Verge, Hacker News…) 💼 Work & Dev → Wood block (GitHub, Notion, Figma, Google Docs…) Each block grows through 5 stages you'll see the sprite change as it matures. Once fully grown, the next block of that type automatically begins growing beside it, building a connected, ever-expanding garden. Multiple tabs of different types can grow simultaneously switch to YouTube and your obsidian block ticks; switch to Reddit and your dirt block takes over. Each type grows independently on its own tab. ───────────────────────────────────── ⛏ BREAKING BLOCKS ───────────────────────────────────── Click a fully grown block to strike it. Cracks appear with each hit just like breaking blocks in Minecraft. It takes 5 hits to destroy a block and earn points. The satisfying crumble animation and particle burst make it genuinely fun to clear your garden. ───────────────────────────────────── ✦ FEATURES ───────────────────────────────────── • 5 unique pixel-art block types, each with 5 growth stages • Blocks spread organically always connected, always growing • Persistent garden your blocks survive browser restarts and tab switches • Per-type independent growth YouTube and Reddit each grow their own block simultaneously • Minecraft-style crack system 5 hits with visible damage stages • Smooth canvas animations particles, click ripples, pop-in effects • Toggleable floating widget hide it anytime with one click • Score tracker earn 10 points per block broken • Lightweight no network requests, no data collection, runs entirely locally ───────────────────────────────────── 🎮 TIPS ───────────────────────────────────── • Each stage takes ~8 seconds.

It classifies pages by hostname only, stores your garden in chrome.storage.local, and never makes any external network requests. No analytics. No tracking. No accounts. ───────────────────────────────────── Built for people who spend a lot of time in their browser and want something small, comfy, and satisfying to show for it. ⛏ Happy mining.
