Like other content obtained via in-app purchases in Minecraft, all skins, texture packs and maps can be used in both the single player mode and multiplayer Realms.Ĭontent licenses can also be shared via a Realm, which means only a single map purchase is required to apply this to a multiplayer session. Where can I use content purchased in the Minecraft Marketplace? To put this into perspective, Microsoft is looking to charge 960 coins for adventure maps, 480 coins for texture packs and 320 coins for skin packs. Packs of 320, 840 and 1,720 coins will be available at launch, priced at $1.99, $4.99 and $9.99 respectively. Minecraft Coins will be available for purchase in three pack tiers, via an in-app purchase across all platforms. Existing in-house content from Microsoft will be converted over to this new tender, making this a definitive currency used within Minecraft. At launch, the Minecraft Marketplace will offer adventure maps from Blockception, Blockworks, Imagiverse, QwertyuiopThePie and Noxcrew.Īll content offered via the Minecraft Marketplace can be purchased via "Minecraft Coins," a new digital tender obtainable through an in-app purchase with real world currency. Taking advantage of Minecraft's "Adventure Mode," this restricts the more creative aspects of the game to create exploration-driven experiences. Adventure mapsĪdventure maps are carefully constructed levels designed to offer tailored experiences built from the ground up by their creators. Here's a breakdown of the content set to be offered by creators at launch. Featuring content created by nine hand-picked partners, the store will launch with a range of add-on content which looks to appeal to numerous subsets of the game's community.

The first batch of Minecraft Marketplace content is expected to roll out alongside the store this spring. All content released on the store will be verified and tested with the help of Microsoft, to retain a consistent level of quality and curation within the virtual market. The Minecraft Marketplace will provide access to skins, texture packs and world mashup packs, all designed by community creators.

In-progress mockups we've seen place Microsoft's own content at the bottom of the Minecraft Marketplace homepage. While community-created content will be placed at the forefront of the store, Microsoft's own in-house content will also be available for purchase. Once the Minecraft Marketplace rolls out, the storefront will serve as a one-stop shop for all Minecraft content.
