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

Minecraft is now playable within posts on X (formerly Twitter) through a project called "Tweetcraft," developed by user jaivin using AI technology. Tweetcraft allows users to create a shared Minecraft world and post a link for others to join in real-time multiplayer sessions. Jaivin has also introduced in-game sponsorship opportunities, enabling players to purchase ad placements with cryptocurrency. The project operates without official authorization from Mojang or Microsoft, and jaivin claims it uses none of Minecraft's assets. The launch post has garnered over 7.4 million views, raising potential legal concerns. The community's response includes both enthusiasm and apprehension regarding possible legal challenges. Additionally, October has seen the emergence of browser-based versions of other popular games, highlighting the rapid innovation in AI-generated gaming content.
