# atproto-connect
2
+
3
+
A Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.10 that bridges the game with the AT Protocol, enabling decentralized data synchronization and social features.
4
+
5
+
## ⚠️ Project Status
6
+
7
+
**This project is in early planning stages and is NOT ready for production use.** The current repository contains a Fabric mod template to establish the initial project structure. Active development and implementation are ongoing.
8
+
9
+
## Overview
10
+
11
+
atproto-connect aims to integrate Minecraft gameplay with the AT Protocol (the protocol powering Bluesky), allowing game data to be synced to AT Protocol lexicons. This enables decentralized storage and sharing of Minecraft data across the federated network.
12
+
13
+
## Goals
14
+
15
+
- **Decentralized Data Sync**: Publish Minecraft gameplay data to AT Protocol repositories
16
+
- **Cross-Server Statistics**: Enable player statistics to persist across different servers via AT Protocol
17
+
- **Social Integration**: Connect Minecraft achievements and activities with the broader AT Protocol ecosystem
18
+
- **Lexicon-Based Storage**: Utilize AT Protocol's schema system for structured game data
19
+
20
+
## Use Cases
21
+
22
+
### Player Statistics & Leaderboards
23
+
24
+
Sync player statistics (blocks mined, mobs killed, distance traveled, etc.) to AT Protocol lexicons, enabling:
25
+
26
+
- Global leaderboards that work across multiple servers
27
+
- Historical stat tracking independent of individual server databases
28
+
- Player achievement portfolios visible on AT Protocol clients
29
+
30
+
### Future Possibilities
31
+
32
+
- Server announcements via AT Protocol feeds
33
+
- Cross-server player reputation systems
34
+
- Decentralized mod/plugin distribution
35
+
- In-game social features tied to AT Protocol identities
36
+
37
+

38
+
39
+
