GambleCraft

Gamble With Your Friends, but you are Steve. Real Minecraft runs hidden beside the casino and the two games talk live: Minecraft moves you and draws your hand, HUD and inventory, and the casino stays the casino.

What you can do

• Play every casino game as Steve. Slots, roulette, craps, the shop and the elevators work as they do without the mashup.
• Break the casino. Walls, floors, carpets, plants, tables: each piece drops the Minecraft block it is made of (wool from carpet, planks from wood, glass from windows, gold and diamonds from the fancy bits).
• Craft and build. Open Minecraft's inventory, craft tools to break the harder pieces, and place what you mined anywhere in the casino.
• Casino items in your hotbar. Dice, drinks and the casino's other items sit in Steve's inventory next to his blocks.
• A truck that sells Minecraft. The lobby's item truck stocks twice as many wares, all random Minecraft items and blocks for 3 to 8 tickets each.
• A clean start every session. Blocks, holes and inventory do not carry over to the next session.
• Friends. The casino's own lobby (up to 6 players) carries the Minecraft world's address, so friends who have the mashup are Steves in the same world.

Playing with friends (up to 6)

Join through the game: everyone starts GambleCraft from Melty first. The host picks a save slot and starts, then invites up to 5 friends through Steam (the game's Invite Friends button, or the Steam overlay with Shift+Tab). Friends accept the invite, or pick Join Game on the host in their Steam friends list.

• The host's Minecraft world follows by itself: nobody types an address, and everyone is a Steve in the same world.
• Who can join is the casino's own lobby setting: open to the host's Steam friends, or invite only. There is no public matchmaking.
• A friend who starts the casino straight from Steam, without Melty, plays as the casino's own character instead of Steve.

Starting it

When you press Play, Steam may ask which version of Gamble With Your Friends to start (DX 12, DX 11 or Vulkan). Pick one, or the casino won't start: DX 12 is the one GambleCraft is tested with. Minecraft starts first and stays hidden; it closes by itself with the casino.

Controls

Minecraft's own keys for moving, mining, building and the inventory.

• G or right-click: use what the casino has under the crosshair (a slot machine, a button, an item)
• Q / left mouse: throw / use the casino item in your hand
• R: the casino's emote wheel, middle mouse: ping
• O: Minecraft's menu, Esc: the casino's pause menu

What you need

• Gamble With Your Friends (Steam)
• Minecraft: Java Edition (your own account; Melty sets Minecraft up by itself the first time, which takes a few minutes)

Known limits

• Playing with friends: hosting is checked (the world opens and its address goes into the lobby). Joining with a second player has not been tested yet.
• A piece broken out of the casino is gone for Steve and on screen; the casino's own loose objects (dice, chips) still bump into the shape that was there.
