Minecraft has always relied on generative algorithms to create its expansive, blocky world. Normally, this requires a PC with decent processing power. But what if you could play Minecraft directly in your browser, without needing heavy hardware? Thanks to advancements in Minecraft AI, that future may be closer than we think.

AI company Decart recently made waves with its Oasis model, an experimental system capable of generating Minecraft gameplay frame by frame, based entirely on player input. The first version was more of a surreal “fever dream” than an actual game. Now, with the release of Oasis 2.0, the public can try a vastly improved demo—though it’s still far from replacing the real thing.

Oasis 2.0: What It Promises
According to Decart, the new Minecraft Oasis 2.0 model can run the game at 1080p and 30 FPS. On paper, this is staggering, considering the AI is generating 30 full frames every second based on user actions.
Players currently have two options to try it:
- A browser demo that lasts 45 seconds (no login required).
- A mod version, which integrates with Minecraft like a texture pack.
Trying Minecraft Oasis 2.0 in the Browser
I tested the browser version first. While it’s impressive from a technical standpoint, it’s also highly unplayable.
- At first, the blocky world seems stable—an improvement over the original Oasis, where textures would melt away instantly.
- But once the auto-prompt AI starts shifting textures, things fall apart. Movement feels floaty, interactions are clunky, and AI artifacts flicker constantly.
- The world takes on a liquid-like shimmer that quickly becomes distracting, even headache-inducing.
Even though the window is set at 1080p, the visuals appear blurry and stretched, lacking the crisp detail of true Minecraft textures. The AI simply can’t maintain the resolution fidelity.
The Interaction Problem
The biggest issue with Oasis 2.0 is interaction. Moving around is fine, but once you attempt to break or place a block, the world changes drastically. Familiar textures dissolve, and the unsettling “fever dream” visuals from the first Oasis return in full force.
The Mod Version: Better but Still Flawed
The Oasis mod functions like a custom texture pack, letting you overlay AI-generated visuals onto the standard Minecraft game. Players can even use commands to swap in realistic or quirky textures.
Unfortunately, the core problems remain: artifacts, inconsistent resolution, and a general lack of sharpness. While it’s fun as a novelty, it doesn’t replace the smooth, structured experience of traditional Minecraft gameplay.
Oasis 2.0 shows clear progress compared to its predecessor. The AI now keeps the blocky world somewhat intact, and the idea of running Minecraft as an AI-driven browser experience is groundbreaking. However, the technology is still miles away from being truly playable.
As it stands, Minecraft Oasis 2.0 is more of a fascinating AI experiment than a usable Minecraft feature. Still, it offers an exciting glimpse into what generative AI might bring to gaming in the future.
