Someone Used AI to Make Minecraft Playable Inside Twitter With Working Multiplayer, and Immediately Sold Sponsorships via Crypto

A Minecraft-like game has emerged inside X / Twitter, allowing multiplayer play via a custom browser-based version. User Jaivin created "Tweetcraft" by using AI to generate a shared world, which players access through a unique link on X. The in-game sponsorships can be purchased using cryptocurrency. Users click on the link to join the shared, real-time multiplayer session, with the game rendering directly in their browser.

Although unauthorized and likely to attract legal scrutiny from Microsoft, Jaivin has claimed "Tweetcraft" has no connection to Minecraft or its creators. The AI-powered video game explosion shows no signs of slowing, with previous clones of GTA 5, Halo, and other popular franchises already surfacing online. As AI models grow more powerful, unauthorized versions of established games may appear almost instantly, posing challenges for the video game industry in preventing such unauthorized creations.
