Could you build this?
Partial While packaging a simple Three.js demo into an HTML file is easy, writing an optimized voxel engine that handles meshing, chunk management, collision, and procedural generation in a single standalone file requires non-trivial computer graphics expertise.
What it would actually take: The engine requires WebGL/WebGPU with JavaScript, implementing greedy meshing algorithms, spatial hashing or octrees for fast collision detection, multi-threaded Perlin/Simplex noise generation via Web Workers, and compact binary asset packaging embedded directly in HTML.
