I did the same trying to write a Minecraft clone back in 2012: https://github.com/beager/craftalike https://github.com/beager/craftalike I'm very much not proud of the code, it's sloppy, incomplete, quite copy-pasta. But it helped me learn a lot of concepts about game dev that a web dev wouldn't know, and it was tremendously exciting to create something in code that you could compile and play around with. No regrets.
