Modder Runs Minecraft Inside iPhone Port of GTA V

A modder known as 0xProbability got Minecraft running inside a modded iPhone port of Grand Theft Auto V, using Claude Opus 5.5 to write and test the code, according to Tom's Hardware.

A modder known as 0xProbability has run Minecraft inside a modded iPhone port of Grand Theft Auto V, with the Minecraft HUD appearing and Steve loading into the game, according to Tom's Hardware. The modder used Claude Opus 5.5 to write and test the code.

In a post describing the experiment, 0xProbability said they did not touch the phone while Claude flew the Ender Dragon around Los Santos.

The iPhone port itself is credited to C22, a student at EPFL in Switzerland. C22's port is based on a version of Grand Theft Auto V adapted to run in a web browser and turned into a native iOS application, with multiplayer support.

Running the port requires iOS 15 or later, or macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon, ideally with 8GB of RAM or more. On an iPhone 17 it runs at 50-60 FPS using 1.1GB of RAM.

Earlier browser experiments

Before moving the mod to the iPhone, 0xProbability experimented with adding Minecraft to what may be the same browser version of Grand Theft Auto V, including block-building mechanics. In one post, the modder said it is crazy what can run in a browser nowadays, noting that in 2026 heavy 3D games can be played in browsers.
