Minecraft Inside Elden Ring? Sure, Until You Press Start

You've had this daydream. Minecraft's building, Elden Ring's bosses, one save file.

Someone actually did it. Sort of.

Modders are now using AI coding tools to decompile whole games and stitch them together. Minecraft inside Elden Ring. Mario Kart inside a Call of Duty mode. Skate 3 inside Modern Warfare 2. The clips are everywhere.

So are they any good? Can you actually play them? And what do the original studios think?

Kotaku's Amelia Zollner tried a mod called SkyCraft. Within minutes she hit missing geometry, wrongly assigned blocks and invisible walls. Her bigger complaint was that none of the mechanics connect to each other in any meaningful way. Forbes adds copyright risk to the pile.

I think that last point matters most. Elden Ring's combat was built for Elden Ring's world. Minecraft's crafting was built for Minecraft's. Nobody designed how the two talk to each other, so you get a great clip and a rough afternoon.

Side note, I'm still going to watch every one of these clips lol.

Which two games would you smash together?
