In 2020, I came across this project, that allows you to do basic Kubernetes administration through Minecraft.
Below is the video of the project in action where animals are pods and deployments. Killing these animals also kill the pods/deployments.
After this I always wanted to mod Minecraft or have a world that could become like an in-game representation of something in real-life and interact with it. With LLMs I also now had a way to compensate for my lack of skills to mod the game.
Razorpay hosted a hackathon in April, 2026 in collaboration with Opencode where I got a chance to work on doing something with Minecraft.
This project didn’t fit in with any of the themes of the hackathon but I did it anyway. This was built in around 3 hours of time and since then I have not updated it but I have a plan to make it look nicer.
I decided to build vibe-code Mine Palace, that turns a
markdown vault (set of markdown files in a directory) into a walkable Minecraft
world (memory palace). Diary/dated notes become years, months, and day alcoves.
Notes become shelves, lecterns, signs, and readable books you can open inside
Minecraft and walk through.
I have notes from past 9+ years in markdown files as daily diary notes or more comprehensive project notes etc. and I wanted to navigate through them in a Minecraft world.
In Minecraft, you can have a Chiseled Bookshelf which can hold Written Books.
These were the primary in-game data structures that I planned to use to represent my notes and created a world that I hosted on a remote server to connect and navigate.
Screenshots
Below are some of the screenshots from the world that was ultimately generated and I was able to build. I used some GPT model via Opencode (they gave $500 credits to all the participants)
Postscript
I have been using Claude Code to make some small custom game-modes, random structure generations, mob simulations, fireworks, buffs/nerfs to players etc. when I play with friends on my Minecraft server. It has been extremely fun to experiment with all this and play around if we are playing for a short session and I can teardown the server until next time.
