Absolutely incredible. I tried it out myself today earlier, first ever real attempted session at Minecraft. But I also had a friend along whom I brought on in an mission to onboard him into Bitcoin and to explain more about the potentials of hyperbitconiziation. Little did I know he was there to onboard me into Minecraft and so was one of your awesome mods @Satlantis !
I deposited $1 worth of sats via lightning, was given the url in-game, available to be copied easily and pasted into a browser. Sent some sats from my node to my ingame wallet and holy shit the game really changed then. I think today was easily one of the biggest birthpangs I have witnessed of TRUE Lightning integration done within a major video game. Nothing of the sort ENJIN were doing with Minecraft. This rendition of minecraft was really special and also felt like it could be quite an amazing learning experience too if catered for students learning Bitcoin.
My only worry was the guy going around with a kanye2024 clan that was basically just recruiting everyone... kinda raking in huge amount and just distributing it I guess like a mining pool while everyone else is solo lottery mining. All in all though I think this was the first time I have ever played MC with some spirit and I actually enjoyed it. I felt REALLY compelled to learn how to earn ingame currency which could be used for sats. That was a fun moment for sure which I thought I would never see.
Honestly, vibes of Ready Player One came to mind. We just need alot more players on the server at all times of the day! I mean ALOT more players... I was playing with 6 others and the server could hold 200 so yeah... this makes me think of other survivalism based games that could reign so strongly with LN integration.

Nice! Reminded me of this post I read a while back on why Bitcoin is Galt's Gulch
Adam Back applying for a technical support position at Coinbase.
Recruiter: "What makes you a good candidate for our tech support team"
Adam: "Well I am in the friggin bitcoin white paper. What else do I need to say"
Recruiter: "Ok sir, no need to be hostile. Unfortunately, the bitcoin whitepaper is a banned document here at coinbase do you have any other accomplishments you would like us to take into account".
Adam: "Well I essentially created the framework for proof of work with my HashCash project"
Recruiter: Yikes, proof of work. We don't use that kind of language around here but this HashCash sounds promising? Sounds like the kind of project we might list. Is it an ERC-20 token?
Adam: No, it's not a shitcoin and even if it was I wouldn't build it on that stupid shit Vitalik's chain. That skinny Russian was barely out of diapers when I was working on it.
Recruiter: Sir, we are a tolerant company here at coinbase but one thing we cannot accept is taking Lord Vitalik's name in vain. We owe everything to him. After all, I couldn't be a pudgy penguin on twitter and hold 438 different coins in my metamask wallet if it wasn't for what he has built.
Adam: That's fucking stupid. Do I get the job or not.
Recruiter: Sir unfortunately we couldn't locate the person you listed as a reference. Someone named "satoshi". Which wouldn't have been a deal breaker but then our "safety" department noticed you have laser eyes in your twitter profile instead of an nft and we don't allow any sort of toxicity in this organization. Our employees are a community that supports each other on our mission to rug, I mean serve 1 billion customers. We can't have a bitcoin maximalist on the staff making them feel unsafe. We wish you all the best on your hashcoin, please consider listing with us when it is done. Have a nice day.
Adam: What a fucking waste of time. Go fuck yourself!
