Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Infobox video gameInfinite 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.
In Infinite Craft, the player starts with four elements: fire, wind (which presumably replaces air), 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 include objects, poems, fictional characters,[3] the universe, philosophical concepts,[1] video games, sports players and teams,[4] 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]
