Eaglercraft WASM GC

Eaglercraft WASM GC is a high-performance version of the launcher that uses WebAssembly with garbage collection (GC). This upgrade brings significantly improved performance and faster load times compared to the original JavaScript runtime. However, it demands more system memory and may not be stable on some mobile devices or older browsers.

WASM GC Highlights:

• Higher framerate and smoother gameplay
• Requires enabling experimental browser flags (e.g., in Google Chrome)
• Not supported on Safari and other non-GC-enabled environments
• Intended to replace the original version as browser support expands

Eaglercraft Scratch Edition

Eaglercraft Scratch Edition is a simplified JavaScript version of the game designed for Scratch-based platforms and beginner-level coding education. It runs in the browser like the standard launcher, but its controls and interface are tailored for accessibility and ease of use by younger players, especially those using Chromebooks in school environments.
