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. See every viral clip checked.

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. How to spot fake downloads.

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

ValCraft

Valheim's world played as a Minecraft player, with blocks, mobs and combat in its forests and dungeons.

Official download

★ 5 · updated Oct 5, 2026 · v0.6.2

Links to the creator's own GitHub page, checked Oct 7, 2026. We never host or re-upload files, and no game files are included. Re-uploads and look-alike repos can carry malware.

ValCraft lets you play Valheim’s world as a Minecraft player: Minecraft’s movement, inventory, hand, blocks, combat and chat inside Valheim’s terrain, lighting, weather, creatures and dungeons. Minecraft’s monsters and iron golems even hunt Valheim’s creatures.

How it works

Both games run at once and talk through shared memory. Minecraft simulates the player; a BepInEx plugin in Valheim sends it the collision around you, moves your Valheim character to match, and draws Minecraft’s blocks and HUD in Valheim’s frame. The Minecraft half is a fork of SkyCraft’s mod. A live bridge.

What you need

  • Valheim on Steam.
  • A Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition.
  • About 3 GB of free RAM for Minecraft on top of Valheim.

Install in short

Import the release zip into a Gale profile, or run the optional guided installer, which also works with r2modman and the Thunderstore Mod Manager. Launch from your mod manager. The first time, a small launcher asks you to sign in while Minecraft downloads; after that it starts and stops with Valheim on its own.

Controls worth knowing

G uses Valheim’s doors, chests, portals and beds. F7 hands control back to Valheim, and F8 turns Valheim’s ground into real Minecraft blocks. Multiplayer works in the same Valheim world, but the creator marks it experimental.
