  • Minecraft is a pixelated open world game with infinite terrain.
  • It was created by a gaming development company based in Sweden.
  • The creators say that they are not including NFTs in Minecraft.

Sorry Minecrafters But There’s No Hope For NFTs In Game Now

Minecraft is one of the most popular open world games today. From kids to pro-gamers, everyone loves to show their creativity here. The pixelated sandbox game was created by a Swedish gaming development organization Mojang Studios. Though the game is free to play, it does not allow the gamers to use in-game items as NFTs.

In recent news, Mojang Studios made an announcement that they are not in favor of the NFTs in Minecraft. The company thinks that implementation of the concept might make it biased. It can raise the problem of scarcity there. While the Non-fungible tokens can be beneficial for some gamers but it will leave the others underprivileged.

In Minecraft, as per the game creators, there’s already an option to monetize their creations, though it is not similar to NFTs. Players can sell their in-game assets through the Minecraft Partner Program. It allows them to generate income through textures, hosted servers, maps, skins, and realms.

Mojang Studios thinks that NFTs will kill the fun element of the game if implemented. The players will primarily focus on the profitability rather than the fun experience of the game. As of now, players join the servers to show their creativity, as for this open world, only sky’s the limit for creation. If the heart of something is down, it will kill the entire system.

Maybe In Future

Though the organization has rejected the possibility of implementing NFTs, they haven’t completely denied that it will never happen. Non-Fungible tokens are constantly showing their potential by rolling out fresh use cases frequently. There’s a possibility that, if the organization sees something beneficial for all the users in future, they may think about it.

However, the recent decision has affected others in the NFT space. Just after Mojang Studios announcement, NFTWORLD’s indeginous token saw a heavy plunge in its price by over 58%.

NFTs have the potential to become a core element in games and many organizations like Activision and Tencent are even thinking about implementing them.
