I did something like this in 2016 for chips challenge and after one day of a few people poking with it it wholely flopped. But I think that game is probably a perfect format as well

The stream links are all broken. I'd love to see what this looks like.

Also, do you have a Twitter? I want to follow your development as I'm working on something similar (non-Minecraft).

Have you considered making this a twitch extension? That would allow users to click stuff on screen instead of (or in addition to) typing.
