Infinite Craft is a 2024 sandbox[1] browser game developed by Neal Agarwal, in which the player starts with four elements—earth, wind, fire, and water—and combines them into new items including people, astrological beings, and fictional characters. AI software, including LLaMA and Together AI, is used to produce new elements, making it possible for there to be infinite elements in the game. To keep it up it uses one server but many fake ones for smoother gameplay have been made.
Gameplay
In Infinite Craft, the player starts with four elements: fire, wind, water, and earth, which can be combined to create new elements.[2] Elements are dragged from the sidebar and combined by placing them on top of each other;[2] for example, fire and water make steam, and plant and wizard make tree.[3] Elements that can be created include, but are not limited to, objects, places,[4] poems, fictional characters,[3] the universe, philosophical concepts,[1] video games, sports players and teams,[5] animals, God, and the Big Bang.[2] If a player is the first person to discover an element, the game tells them it is a "First Discovery".[1][2] Within the game are infinite amounts of items.
Development and release
Developer Neal Agarwal is based in New York.[6] He developed Infinite Craft for his website, neal.fun. The game uses generative AI software; the language model LLaMA invents the elements, while Together AI hosts the servers.[7][8] Agarwal decided to use Together AI due to the game's popularity.[8] According to Agarwal, when a new element is being created, a prompt is sent to LLaMA to determine the outcome.[1]
There are a few banned words and more keep being added to the game (after every update usually) and most NSFW things can be found. Things like 4IDS, the N word, etc. cannot be found. Because of "Hamas" not being able to be found, it results in (at least earlier versions) bahamas not being possible.
Agarwal announced Infinite Craft's release on X (Twitter) on January 31, 2024.[9]
Reception
Christian Donlan of Eurogamer compared Infinite Craft to one of his lucid dreams, explaining that an element "always [runs] away" when the player tries to figure out what elements to combine.[3]
