A developer has used AI to build a Minecraft-style game that runs from a link posted on X, with shared multiplayer worlds and paid sponsorship slots. IGN reports that the project, called Tweetcraft, has no connection to Mojang or Microsoft, and that its launch post had passed 7.4 million views.
The creator, X user jaivin, announced it in a post on X saying they had “put the entire game of Minecraft inside twitter.. with WORKING multiplayer”.
How Tweetcraft works
Tweetcraft isn’t Minecraft running inside the X app. It’s a custom, browser-based block game that renders in your browser tab. You generate a world, which gets a unique link, and post that link on X. The post acts as the entry point: anyone who opens the link joins the same real-time session as everyone else who clicked it.
The project’s own blurb describes it as “a block game in a post: every world is a link on X, and everyone who opens it plays together”. The creator says AI was used to build it, though IGN doesn’t detail which tools or how much of the code they wrote.
On the legal side, jaivin says Tweetcraft “uses none of Minecraft’s assets and is not associated with Mojang or Microsoft”. IGN calls it “clearly Minecraft in shape and form” and expects the port, which it describes as unauthorised, to attract attention from Microsoft’s lawyers. Neither Microsoft nor Mojang has commented in the coverage we’ve seen.
Sponsorships paid in crypto
The project is already selling ad space. According to IGN, buyers can pay in cryptocurrency for sponsorships. The blurb lists three placements: the top of the server list, a world’s sponsor leaderboard, or a logo on the game’s Block Dragon, an obvious nod to Minecraft’s Ender Dragon. That makes it a commercial product built on a lookalike of someone else’s game, which is a different position from a hobby mod.
Part of a wider AI clone wave
IGN places Tweetcraft in a run of AI-built clones and “game-merging” mods over the past two weeks. Browser versions of GTA 5 and the original Xbox version of Halo appeared this month. IGN says the GTA 5 clone was hit by a takedown, as was a Fallout: New York game released in a browser. Reaction is split between excitement and disgust, with some people expecting a clampdown. One commenter quoted by IGN joked that the name lets you “lose two separate trademark lawsuits”.
IGN’s broader point is that takedowns look hard to sustain. As AI models improve, unofficial versions of established games could appear within hours. Microsoft’s own Minecraft news looks very different: the Sift dimension is due in 2027.
What players should know
Gamers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt can open a Tweetcraft link from any browser, if the project stays online. The coverage doesn’t report any region-specific restrictions or availability details. Because the game is hosted by an anonymous independent developer, expect it to disappear quickly if a takedown lands.
None of the sources we reviewed audit the game’s security or moderation, so those are open questions. Players join live sessions through links in public posts, and the project sells ad placements for crypto. Treat these links like any unknown website: don’t connect a crypto wallet or enter account details you’d use elsewhere, and be careful with links that claim to be Tweetcraft worlds. Parents should note that there’s no word on chat or moderation features in a game that strangers can join.
FAQs
Is Tweetcraft official Minecraft?
No. Its creator says it isn’t associated with Mojang or Microsoft and uses none of Minecraft’s assets. It’s an unofficial browser game that copies Minecraft’s block-building style.
How do you play it?
You create a world on the Tweetcraft site, then share its link in a post on X. Anyone who opens that link joins the same shared session in their browser.
Could it be taken down?
Quite possibly. IGN notes that an AI-built GTA 5 browser clone and a Fallout: New York game were both removed after takedowns, and it expects Microsoft’s lawyers to take an interest in Tweetcraft.
