How to play Minecraft using Oasis AI
Minecraft is available across multiple platforms and devices, including the Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo. One of the most popular titles, it can also be downloaded to smartphones and handheld devices. That said, with the advent of AI, it seems you may not even need to buy the game or have a powerful device to play it.
With the help of advanced generative AI, some games can be played in real-time without requiring a game engine. The Oasis AI model is one such application that can run Minecraft by generating frames from the game based on the user input in real time. In other words, even without buying the game, you can play it on your browser or any compatible device, and all you need is an internet connection.
This article explains how to play the game using this method along with all the current limitations.
Minecraft on Oasis AI
Before attempting to play the game using Oasis AI, it is important to understand how the entire thing works. Oasis AI is a type of generative AI that “generates” images or videos based on the input provided.
Similar to Midjourney or Dall-e, which produces an image based on your input, Oasis AI creates frames of the game when you are playing it. All of this happens in real time.
For context, let’s say you move towards a block in the game. The AI will generate the next frames based on this move and produce the expected output.
The same applies to other actions in the game, such as breaking blocks or placing them. However, this cutting-edge AI technology has many shortcomings; the frame rates will be poor and many elements of the game will look bizarre.
Another point worth mentioning is that for some unexplained reason, the developers are calling it an “AI-generated game” despite the title clearly being Minecraft.
Play Minecraft using Oasis AI
You can play the game by visiting Oasis AI’s official website. Note that the AI requires you to run it on a desktop using the Chrome browser. This means you cannot try the game on mobile devices and other browsers such as Safari or Firefox.
Upon landing on the website, follow the instructions provided there. To play the game, you will have to use on-screen options, such as moving, breaking, or jumping. That said, things might be buggy and could lag.
