BitQuest
BitQuest (bitquest.co / @bitquestmc)
BitQuest is a cryptocurrency-integrated Minecraft server project (and associated open-source server plugin/mod) that links in-game economics to a Bitcoin (and historically also Dogecoin) blockchain node. In the project’s design, players can be assigned wallet addresses and can earn or transfer cryptocurrency value through gameplay mechanics such as mob “loot” rewards and player-to-player transactions.

Project characteristics (as described by the developers)
- Blockchain-connected economy: The plugin “connects the game economics to a Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency nodes” and creates a wallet for each user plus a shared “loot” wallet. (github.com)
- Gameplay rewards (“loot”): The server can reward players by sending value from a server wallet to a player wallet based on in-game events (e.g., killing mobs). (github.com)
- Player transactions: Documentation describes commands for sending value to other players or to external addresses. (github.com)
- Operational status: The repository README states that the official BitQuest server is not online anymore, while the software can still be used to host a server (e.g., via Docker/Bukkit/Spigot). (github.com)
