# SkyCraft
Play Skyrim as a Minecraft player. You move with Minecraft's physics, carry Minecraft's inventory
and HUD, and place and break blocks in Skyrim's world. You fight Skyrim's NPCs with Minecraft
weapons, and they fight back.
Neither game is rewritten. Minecraft runs its own game logic, and Skyrim runs its world, NPCs,
quests and saves. A Skyrim SKSE plugin and a Minecraft Fabric mod talk to each other through
shared memory. Minecraft runs hidden in the background, and Skyrim draws everything.
> **Status: early and experimental.** Expect rough edges, and back up your saves.
> This is a fan project. It isn't affiliated with Mojang, Microsoft, Bethesda or ZeniMax, and you
> need to own both games.
## What works
- **Movement:** Minecraft movement on Skyrim's terrain and buildings. That covers walking,
 sprinting, jumping, crouching, swimming and falling, and Skyrim's collision is fed into
 Minecraft's own collision.
- **Blocks:** place and break blocks anywhere in Skyrim. They're drawn inside Skyrim's frame
 with its sun, shadows, fog and weather. Minecraft lights (torches, lava, glowstone and so on)
 light up Skyrim.
- **Digging into Skyrim:** mine Skyrim's ground, rocks, roads and objects like Minecraft blocks.
 What you dig out drops as the block it's made of (dirt under grass, then stone with ores, then
 bedrock), and the hole is real for you, NPCs and items. TNT, creepers and other explosions blow
 craters into Skyrim. Interiors and caves are solid stone behind their walls. What you dig is
 saved in your Minecraft world. **Skyrim destruction: On/Off** in the top left of the pause menu
 (O) turns it off (holes already dug stay).
- **Block entities:** chests, beds, banners, heads, shulker boxes and similar blocks are drawn,
 and pistons move blocks.
- **Water and lava:** they flow over Skyrim's terrain, and Skyrim water swims like Minecraft
 water.
- **Combat:** hit Skyrim NPCs with any Minecraft weapon, including bows, tridents and TNT.
 Damage is scaled to NPC level, and NPCs fight back.
 - NPCs collide with blocks and path around them.
 - Lava and fire hurt NPCs, and NPCs press pressure plates.
- **Skyrim progression:**
 - Your Skyrim skills level up from Minecraft play. Swords, maces and tools train
 One-Handed; axes and spears train Two-Handed; bows and anything thrown train Archery.
 - Shields train Block, and hits taken train Light or Heavy Armor depending on what you wear.
 - Crafting gear trains Smithing, and crouching is Skyrim sneak, which trains Sneak.
- **Camera and death:** Minecraft's F5 camera modes show your skin and armor in Skyrim. Dying
 gives Skyrim's death camera with your Minecraft body ragdolling.
- **Skyrim's own animations:** chairs, crafting stations, beds, pull levers, horses and scripted
 scenes hand control to Skyrim until they finish.
- **Multiplayer (Minecraft side only):** friends who also run SkyCraft can join your Minecraft
 world over the internet (see Playing with friends).
