Woxel is a voxel editor for creating Minecraft-style 3D assets, with versions for the web and Linux.
What Woxel is
Woxel is a voxel editor for creating Minecraft-style 3D assets, with versions for the web and Linux. Its movement controls resemble Minetest and Minecraft, while keyboard and mouse actions let you place, delete, clone, and replace voxel nodes or colors. A mirror brush can be toggled for mirrored edits, and the texture of a pointed node can be changed. Texture painting and game engine export are listed capabilities. Woxel saves state automatically when you exit; the listing also describes a save shortcut and a backup after three minutes of inactivity. The Linux desktop app accepts arguments to create or load projects, export a project, adjust mouse sensitivity, and apply custom color palettes. A Flatpak is available for aarch64 and x86_64 systems, and the desktop app is free. The product page links to the web version at woxel.xyz, while the maker’s site links to GitHub Help. Flathub lists James William Fletcher as maker.
