These seem like two different things:  "broadcasting" usually describes the
distribution of electronic media from a source to multiple destinations
which generally don't alter the content, just view it.

"Multiplayer" systems can be done in a client-server manner, or even P2P,
but are differentiated from broadcasting by having collaborative content.

If collaboration is what you're after, MC has sockets and you can design
your own protocols to handle anything you like.

See Tuviah's excellent example of a simple chat system at the Rev
contributions page.
