SpelunkyCraft

You play the real Spelunky, rebuilt out of your own Minecraft.

Every cave, spelunker, monster and sound comes from your Minecraft: Java Edition install. Nothing from either game is in the download.

• Minecraft caves: the Mines are stone, dirt, gravel and coal ore. Gold ore appears exactly where Spelunky hides gold in the walls, so a gold ore block really has gold in it, the rocks lodged in the walls are iron ore, and the pebbles you throw are little cobblestone blocks. Chests are Minecraft chests (locked ones are ender chests) and spider webs are cobwebs. The Jungle is mossy cobblestone, the Ice Caves are packed and blue ice with snow, the Temple is stone bricks, the City of Gold is gold blocks, and Hell is netherrack, nether bricks and soul sand. The level border is bedrock, arrow traps are dispensers, spikes are pointed dripstone, and ladders are Minecraft ladders.
• Minecraft treasure: Spelunky's treasure is Minecraft loot ranked by value: gold nuggets are copper ingots, gold bars iron ingots, stacks of bars gold ingots, emeralds diamonds, sapphires netherite, rubies emeralds, diamonds nether stars, and the golden idol is an enchanted golden apple.
• Minecraft pickaxe: Spelunky's Mattock is Minecraft's iron pickaxe. Swing it to dig through dirt and stone. It wears out after 40-60 uses, and you find it where Spelunky keeps Mattocks, in shops and crates.
• Bows and arrows: every gun is a Minecraft bow coloured by what it fires: the shotgun is the plain wooden bow, the freeze ray an icy blue bow, the web gun a cobweb-white bow and the plasma cannon a purple bow. Trap arrows are Minecraft arrows. They still fire like Spelunky's guns.
• Steve is the spelunker: Spelunky Guy is Steve and Liz is Alex. Every other character wears a default Minecraft skin (Ari, Kai, Efe, Makena, Noor, Sunny, Zuri…), drawn as chunky Minecraft figures that run, crawl, climb, whip and tumble.
• Minecraft mobs: cavemen are zombies, snakes and rats are silverfish, spiders are cave spiders and spiders, and bats are bats. Shopkeepers are pillagers, tiki men are vindicators, hawk men are zombified piglins, croc men are drowned, devils are piglin brutes, vampires are wither skeletons, mummies are husks, bees are bees and frogs are slimes.
• Creepers and endermen: fire frogs are creepers (and still blow up), and yetis and the Yeti King are endermen.
• Minecraft sounds: the whip, hits, explosions, the bomb fuse, gold pickups, chests, digging and the mob noises are Minecraft's. The menus play Minecraft menu music, and the caves keep Spelunky's soundtrack.
• Couch co-op: up to 4 players on one PC, each a different Minecraft skin. Spelunky HD has no online play.

You need: Spelunky (Steam) and Minecraft: Java Edition 1.19.3 or newer, played once on this PC. The first Play takes about 40 seconds to build your Minecraft caves. Your Spelunky install is never changed, and your save carries over to normal Spelunky.
