Onboarding minecraft players to the base blockchain!
The problem based minecraft solves
When it comes to onboarding gamers to web3, accessability is a major hurdle for the industry as a whole. We solve this assessability issue by incorporating the new smart wallet documentation! In addition to that users have access to gas free swaps, giving these new crypto currency gamers their first ETH tokens!
Gaming in web3 can be difficult because there is a lot of trust involved with downloading a game, we are a trustless game as we operate on the vanilla minecraft client. No mod downloads are required to play, and a fresh wallet needs no eth to participate.
Gaming in minecraft can at time feel like it is "Pay to Win" with special donator swords ect. Our ecosystem sells rankups and enchantments for in game tokens which you earn from playing! In addition our enchantments are randomized so that you cannot just buy the best sword, you will have the same odds as everyone else in our fair "Play to Win" ecosystem.
Challenges I ran into
This project is pretty hefty for me as a solo developer. I started on 6/2/2024 by building a node.js server and a react.js frontend. I use alchemy api in most my projects so I'm fairly used to that, but the challenges came when I added a minecraft plugin into the mix. Serializing the data to and from the minecraft server was the hard part specifically saving tools enchantments was difficult this took me about 2 days of debugging and brute force trial and error. Fixing one thing would break another, when it all clicked I think it was the happiest moment in coding I ever had.
I also ran into some issues with smart wallet signatures but honestly that was time i valued because i learned so much about signatures in general. I try to look at the bright side of everything and i truely think each hurdle i faced made me a better developer. Thanks nate for helping me in the discord with signatures, very based of you!
