Question 1

Can ChatGPT make a Minecraft update in Unity?

Accepted Answer

Yeah—kind of. I had ChatGPT remake Minecraft basics first (terrain, chunks, movement, building), then I used it to add “update” features like a new mob, weapon, and biome. The big limitation is implementation: the code can be decent, but getting it to work in your specific project is the hard part—especially when you’re not allowed to edit it.

Question 2

What Minecraft features did you build using only ChatGPT code?

Accepted Answer

I built a blocky terrain generation system, chunk generation, a player movement script, and a block breaking/placing system. After that, I added a new enemy (Quartz Golem), a new weapon (Gravity Sword), and a new biome (volcanic/obsidian + volcano generation). All of the actual scripts came from ChatGPT prompts.

Question 3

Did you really not change any of the code ChatGPT generated?

Accepted Answer

For the challenge, I couldn’t change the code it gave me. So when something didn’t work, I had to “work backwards” by changing my prompts and generating a simpler script that fit what I already had. That’s why the enemy movement went through multiple versions until it was good enough.

Question 4

What is the Quartz Golem and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT came up with the Quartz Golem as a new Minecraft mob: big quartz body, angular, and it has two states—neutral and defensive. If you attack it, it fights back with stuff like energy blasts and a ground slam shockwave. I didn’t do item drops because my game was basically grass, dirt, and stone.

Question 5

How did you make the enemy AI move without falling off blocks?

Accepted Answer

That was the “tricky” part. I originally asked for a movement system that could navigate the world and be aware of blocks, but the first script was huge and hard to integrate. Since I couldn’t edit it, I ended up prompting for simpler movement, then adding object awareness, then roaming behavior.

Question 6

What does the Gravity Sword do in your Minecraft remake?

Accepted Answer

It’s a melee weapon idea ChatGPT gave me that changes gravity around the player. When I use it, it temporarily increases gravity for enemies within a radius, which basically messes them up and sets up other mechanics. I used that behavior to make the ground slam trigger when the enemy lands again.

Question 7

How did you create the volcanic biome and volcanoes?

Accepted Answer

For the obsidian field, I did the world’s simplest biome tech: I swapped the grass texture to obsidian. For the volcano, I went back to the chunk generation script and had ChatGPT add volcano generation. It’s not perfect, but it does create a volcano shape in-game, which is honestly impressive for how cursed this project is.
