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

Playable · Live bridge

WowCraft

Minecraft played inside World of Warcraft 1.12, on your own local server, with co-op for friends.

Official download

★ 39 · updated Oct 6, 2026 · v0.1.1

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.

WowCraft puts a Minecraft player in Azeroth. You walk the old world with Minecraft’s controls, open its inventory and chat, and switch to WoW’s cursor when you want to talk to NPCs, loot or pick up quests.

How it works

Everything runs on your PC: a private World of Warcraft 1.12 server, the WoW client, and Minecraft running alongside it. The two games stay linked the whole session, so it is a live bridge. Nothing connects to Blizzard’s servers.

What you need

  • Your own World of Warcraft 1.12.1 client folder (with WoW.exe and Data).
  • A Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition.
  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, and about 4 GB of free disk.

Install in short

  1. Download WowCraft.zip from the official releases and unzip it anywhere outside Program Files.
  2. Run WowCraft.exe, point Settings at your WoW 1.12 folder, and press Play.
  3. The first start extracts maps from your client (10 to 15 minutes, once) and asks you to sign in to Minecraft. WoW then logs in by itself.

Pathfinding for the server keeps building in the background for about an hour; you can play while it does.

Co-op

The host presses Host co-op and sends the copied link; friends join through it. The creator calls this an early test build, so back up your WowCraft folder if you care about your saves.
