Craftnite.io is a free browser .io battle royale that mixes Minecraft-style block destruction and stair building with Fortnite-style shooter combat, played from a first-person view in a blocky 3D arena.

You spawn with a sniper, a pickaxe, one dynamite, and 20 stairs, then fight to reach the #1 spot on the leaderboard. Default controls use WASD to move, Space to jump, left-click to shoot, right-click to scope, and number keys to switch items. The official site is craftnite.io.

Craftnite.io is a free browser-based .io game that blends Minecraft and Fortnite into a first-person battle royale. Players spawn into a blocky 3D arena, mine and build with stairs, shoot opponents with a starting sniper, and chase the #1 leaderboard spot.

The game is currently labeled as a beta build (around v.0.1.92 at writing), described by its developers as a small experiment on a new framework. The format is free-for-all rather than team-based.

You can dig into the ground with the pickaxe, pop up to snipe, build stairs to gain height, or throw dynamite to wipe out enemy cover. Headshots reward extra loot, and kills drop more stairs and dynamite, which feeds the loop.

Server resets happen every few hours when the map becomes too chaotic or destroyed, so map state is intentionally temporary. If you enjoy blocky shooters and building, Bloxd.io and Pixel Warfare sit close on the same shelf.

Hands-On Verdict: "A lightweight Minecraft–Fortnite mashup that runs in any desktop browser.

The sniper-first opening shapes every match more than the building system does." To play Craftnite.io, open craftnite.io (or a host portal such as iogames.space or webgames.io), enter a name, and click play. You spawn with a sniper, a pickaxe, one dynamite, and 20 stairs.

The first priority is hiding before other players spot you, then headshotting opponents for extra loot, farming trees for more stairs, and using dynamite to break enemy cover.

The HTML5 build loads inside a browser canvas and asks for a username before launching you into a live server. There is no account required and no install. The opening 10 seconds matter most, since the open spawn favors anyone who scopes early.
