AI-Made Minecraft Clone Playable in X Posts Draws 7.4 Million Views
X user jaivin launched Tweetcraft, an unauthorized browser-based Minecraft clone with real-time multiplayer and crypto-funded in-game sponsorships.
An X user named jaivin has launched Tweetcraft, an AI-made Minecraft clone that runs inside X/Twitter posts with working real-time multiplayer, according to IGN. A shared world link is posted on X, and anyone who opens it joins the same multiplayer session rendered in the browser.
Jaivin's launch post for Tweetcraft has reached 7.4 million views. The game is monetized through in-game sponsorships bought with cryptocurrency, including ads at the top of the server list, placement in a sponsor leaderboard, or a logo on the Block Dragon.
Jaivin said Tweetcraft uses none of Minecraft's assets and is not associated with Mojang or Microsoft. The project is unauthorized and could draw legal action from Microsoft.
