One of my favorite easter eggs in Nethack was the way a Mailer Daemon would arrive in-game and deliver a scroll when you received an email on the host Unix system. Which then became a game exploit because there were some obscure in-game uses for the scroll items.

I'm sure it already can with the right mod/plugin.

I’m delighted to get to introduce you to ComputerCraft: Tweaked (modern fork).

https://tweaked.cc/

Email client and server in Lua

https://github.com/GabrielleAkers/cc-email

The whole project is a great way to get started with understanding computers, programming, and networking in an environment that appeals to the iPad generation- one that knows less about technology than its predecessors. It’s about making computers useful towards your economic and military interests with automation. You build equipment from scratch and connect it any way you please.

For this email approach:

> get 3 advanced computers and 3 ender modems then follow the instructions in the readme in the repo

> the first two computer/modems are for the auth server and email server then the third is to actually use the email client to send emails. i guess it's 2+X where X is the number of computers you want to send/receive emails on

That's nothing, I think it's even cooler to see what people can do with just command blocks (which are basically redstone activated console command scripts). Even cooler still is the people who forgo even that and do cool things in redstone exclusively. Redstone computers in minecraft have been a thing almost as long as redstone has

Oh hey, I did a lot of ComputerCraft back in the day. Don't forget OpenComputers, which was much different flavor of challenge but also quite interesting.

OpenComputers II is even crazier as it uses a RISC-V emulator to run a real Linux image.

		Wow, I'd never heard of that, that sounds awesome!
