New game mechanics, Friend features & More!

Greetings PLAICrafters! We have just launched our new platform after months of hard work. The most important change that has come to the platform is the introduction of PLAITime.

Introducing PLAITime

Basically, you are encouraged to log on with a friend or play partner and discuss your in-game experience. For every 5 minutes of conversation, you may earn up to 15 minutes of PLAITime. The more relevant your conversation is to the game, the more time you can earn.

Playing with Friends

We have also added a friend feature where you can invite friends by phone or by email, and see which friends are online when you log into the platform. You can also send invitations within the game, making it easier to organize partner play. Check out PLAICraft rules for commands on how to handle friend invitations in-game.

New ways to Log In

Finally, you can now log into PLAICraft with a mobile phone, not just email! To do this, enter your phone number, then receive a token to log in securely to the platform. Please note that PLAICraft is still a desktop-only game. After logging in using a mobile phone, you will receive a short play code to join the game on PC.


That’s all for now! Enjoy the new play experience and stay tuned for more updates.
