FAQ

Are AI merge games real or fake?

Many are real. The MW2, Skate 3 and Minecraft mashup, SkyCraft and Mario in Elden Ring all have public code and downloads on GitHub. Some viral clips, including the original Minecraft in Elden Ring video, have never been released. Every entry on this site is labelled Playable, Build it yourself or Video only.

Do I need to own both games?

Almost always, yes. Legitimate mashup mods never include game files. They read the files from your own installed copies, the same way Garry’s Mod needed other Source games back in 2004. Each mashup page lists exactly which games, versions and platforms you need.

Is it safe to download AI game mashups?

Only from the creator’s own repository. Fake look-alike repositories appeared within days of the trend. We link the official page for every project and never re-upload anything. Back up your saves before installing, and never run an unsigned .exe from an account created the same week.

Can I get banned for playing these mods?

Not if you stay offline. Most mashups only run with anti-cheat switched off, and the creators are explicit that they must never be taken online. Games such as Elden Ring and GTA V can ban accounts that join online play with modified files.

Do AI merge games work on Mac?

Most are Windows only, because the host games are Windows PC games. The Minecraft Crossover Bridge is the exception: it runs Minecraft inside Elden Ring or Monster Hunter World on Apple Silicon Macs through CrossOver. Use the finder and pick Mac.

Can I merge two games myself with AI?

Yes, if you are patient. Tools like Claude Code with the open-source universal-modder toolkit can identify a game’s engine, decompile it and build a mod. You still need to own the games and to judge what feels right. The AI cannot. Read the step-by-step guide.

Are AI game mashups legal?

It is a grey area. Reverse engineering for compatibility is allowed in some places, but distributing a publisher’s files or characters is not, and publishers can demand takedowns. Fans who rebuilt GTA 3 and Vice City were hit with a DMCA takedown in 2021. That is why every project here asks you to bring your own games.

I made a mashup. Can you list it?

Yes. Send us the official repository or video link. We read the README, check what you need to own, and add it with the right status label. We never list projects that bundle game files.Email us

SkyCraft

Play Skyrim as a Minecraft player: Minecraft movement, blocks and combat in Skyrim's world.

SkyCraft is the most complete “Minecraft inside another game” project so far. You walk Skyrim’s world with Minecraft’s movement, place and break blocks on its mountains, dig real holes in its roads, and hit its NPCs with Minecraft swords and TNT. They fight back.

How it works

Neither game is rewritten. Minecraft runs hidden in the background with a Fabric mod, Skyrim runs with an SKSE plugin, and the two swap data through shared memory every frame. Skyrim draws everything you see. That makes it a live bridge: two real games running at once and talking to each other.

Highlights

  • Minecraft blocks are lit by Skyrim’s sun, shadows, fog and weather; torches and lava light up Skyrim.
  • Dig into the ground and you hit dirt, then stone with ores, then bedrock. Creeper explosions leave craters.
  • Your Skyrim skills level up from Minecraft play: swords train One-Handed, bows train Archery, crouching trains Sneak.
  • Friends who also run SkyCraft can join your Minecraft world. Each player keeps their own Skyrim.

What you need

  • Skyrim Special Edition on the Anniversary runtime (1.6.x or 1.7.x). Not 1.5.97, not VR.
  • SKSE64 and Address Library for SKSE Plugins.
  • A Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition. SkyCraft ships a portable launcher that downloads Minecraft and Java for you.
  • About 3 GB of spare RAM and a GPU that can run both games.

Install in short

  1. Install the SkyCraft zip from the official GitHub releases with Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex, like any SKSE plugin.
  2. Launch Skyrim through SKSE. On first start, sign in to your Microsoft account in the small launcher window that appears.
  3. From then on Minecraft starts and stops with Skyrim automatically.

The creator strongly recommends the Alternate Start mod, because Skyrim’s scripted opening can leave you stuck.

Known limits

It is early and experimental: back up your saves. Skyrim’s inventory, magic and perks cannot be opened while Minecraft controls the player, sign text is not drawn yet, and camera mods such as SmoothCam will conflict.
