How to make a game like Minecraft with AI

You can make a survival crafting sandbox in the spirit of Minecraft on Chatforce: describe the world, what players gather and what they can build, pick 2D or 3D, and play a first version in about 10 to 15 minutes.

Chatforce is an AI platform for making 2D and 3D games by describing them in chat. It is slop-proof by design: each AI agent specializes in one part of game development, such as game design, graphics or sound.

Build it in four steps

  1. 1. Pick 2D or 3D

    Choose when you create the game; it stays fixed for that game. 3D gives you a first-person or third-person world, 2D a top-down or side view.

  2. 2. Define the loop

    Gather, craft, build, survive. Name three resources, three things they make, and one threat that forces players to build.

    Try this prompt: A 3D survival sandbox on a small island. Chop trees and mine stone, craft a pickaxe, a wall and a campfire, and survive slimes that come out at night.

  3. 3. Make building feel good

    Ask for a grid to place blocks on, a simple hotbar, and a short day and night cycle so building has a reason.

  4. 4. Add friends

    Ask for online multiplayer so friends can build on the same island. It works in both 2D and 3D games.

Make it yours, not a copy of Minecraft

Borrow the feel, not the assets. Give your game its own name, characters, art and music, and leave out Minecraft’s logos, characters and art. Chatforce makes original art and audio for every game, so you start from your own look.
