Blockchain company wants to develop “better” Minecraft

NFTs are often at the center of various discussions in the gaming industry these days. While those responsible for many companies see the future in blockchain technology, the majority of players do not (yet?) want to have anything to do with the topic. There was a clear statement last week from the Minecraft Makers. The Mojang team forbidden the implementation of NFTs in all areas of their block game.

Of course, this also means that third-party providers who, among other things, offer in-game servers are affected by these measures. This now also includes NFT Worldswho have previously NFTs for Minecraft (buy now €21.90) have sold. In detail, seeds for the title could be purchased as non-fungible tokens. This is the code responsible for creating the Minecraft world. In a detailed statements the operators refer to Mojang’s NFT ban as regression.

Own game planned

At least those responsible for NFT World have an idea how they can still get their NFTs to men and women. you want one own game develop that provides the mechanics of Minecraft at its core. A clone is said to be the game not become – Or just so independent that no lawsuits threaten. It is already clear that the title is complete for free will be for everyone. In an emotional statement NFT Worlds took a position on the NFT ban and also accused Minecraft and Microsoft of being outdated and unfriendly to players. You can read a few translated excerpts here:

“Microsoft, Mojang and Minecraft have shown that they don’t give a damn about creators, builders and players if at any point a new idea or vision conflicts with any internal politics or the opinions of the minorities in power; […]”

“We’re creating a new game […], which is based on many of the basic mechanics of Minecraft, but which is modernized and actively developed, which has not been the case with Minecraft for years. We don’t rewrite the open source code of a Minecraft clone, that would probably violate the license agreement or lead to lawsuits, we build it from scratch. […]

Minecraft players will find the gameplay, look and feel very familiar; the game mechanics, graphics, performance optimization and general improvements will result in a more accessible, ownable and enjoyable gaming experience. The best part is that we are not affected at all by the rules that Microsoft and Mojang are enforcing in Minecraft. […]”

“Access to the game will be 100% free and there will never be credit card payment limits for content. NFT Worlds is built on the tenet that all players should have access to earning, purchasing and owning content through in-game mechanics and currency rewards . […]”

“Don’t get us wrong, this is a battle between web2 and web3. It’s a battle between different visions of the future of the internet: one that prioritizes shareholder ownership and profit margins, and one that prioritizes the innovative spirit of independent creators. […]”

A game like Minecraft, no matter how close it gets to the original, doesn’t develop overnight. NFT Worlds, meanwhile, recommends sticking with their Minecraft Launcher, saying they now want to develop features that will attract non-crypto players while development of their take on Minecraft ramps up.
