Blue_Morpho had a point. What you're suggesting is more akin to creating a Twitter account to promote the Fediverse. I understand the logic you're trying to defend and I really wish it worked, but when it does it's usually shortlived as happens with many GitHub repos, even if some people fortunately reupload these elsewhere.
Going back to Minecraft, this would bring more people to purchase Minecraft than Minecraft players to reading books. It's not the right demographic, it's not even the right medium for reading comfortably, and it would fare better on Nomad Network pages, self hosted blogs and encrypted social media / instant messaging groups.

But yeah, all in all, sharing books through Minecraft is a funny idea for a funny anecdote.

    Seeing it's a Frankenstein's monster made with pieces from ShadPS4 emulator, several mods from Nexusmods, fixes from other forks and Claude vibecoding on a recently created GitHub account, I'd rather emulate it. It's easy to do and probably safer.

    It's been a long time since I played a soulslike and finally booted up Lies of P this week. Pretty cool, specially with mods since it hasn't been performing too well on my Linux rig, but I'm more grateful about it's accessibility features than anything else. Can't praise it for it's level design with it's linearity and so many assets placed without measure, logic or purpose, even if the overall victorian/belle epoque vibe is appealing. On a positive note it's clever audiovisual cues during combat reminded me of a past discussion of yours.

    As for locations, this is something I'll probably want to edit later as more come to mind. Majula is what it is. Love at first sight. Also the Duke's Archive combined with the crystal cave below was pretty neat, but it's not the only descent into the abyss I've enjoyed in Dark Souls. I spent some time months ago setting up a Runecairn campaign, which is basically a norse soulslike TTRPG. I sadly discarded that and started testing Mausritter, but I was a bit hyped about some things I had come up with for Runecairn. Shame.

    I was about to search if it was vibe coded or something as they didn't have a track record of messing that up years ago. But alas, my time is saved!
