Minecraft Earth won't be stuck in beta testing for much longer. Mojang and Microsoft have revealed that the game's augmented reality will be available in "early access" for certain countries beginning in October. Although it didn't specify which platforms or countries would be included in the beta, it did include both iOS and Android users.

Earth is a slight deviation from the standard Minecraft experience. You can still build your worlds in AR. However you can also embark upon sharing Adventures that will require you to fight enemies and other challenges in order to obtain rare resources. It's an extension to Minecraft that encourages you socialize and explore the real world, with world building being the glue.

Make sure your mobiles are up and running! Minecraft Earth is almost here with early access being made available to select countries all around the globe, starting this October! Visit https://t.co/rblTL72DVG to learn more! #MINECON pic.twitter.com/EyqitOqn73

'Minecraft' Gets its Own Official Monthly Swag Box

Monthly subscription boxes are an original concept. Subscribers pay to receive t-shirts and other items. The model is used by companies like Dollar Shave Club, Fancy, Graze, Loot Crate and Fancy Crate. However, Mojang is a newcomer to the market. That's right, Minecraft now has its own swag box.

For a monthly fee of $30, Mojang says it will send its subscribers a special "Mine Chest" full of "hand-picked official, Minecraft goodies." Although the exact items aren't available Mojang claims that customers can expect a tshirt, crafting recipes, and other collectibles each month.

MineCon 2015 saw the unveiling of the Mine Chest for the first time. Mojang released 5,000 beta keys available to attendees so they could secure the first boxes, but now it's open to everyone. While it may sound like the perfect gift for anyone who's a Minecraft fan However, it comes with a few stipulations.

Mojang first requires that customers select a monthly plan. The payment is made in advance, and shipments don't begin until May. Mojang says that paying upfront helps it better serve customers by purchasing premium items in higher quantities, which will lower costs. Each month, the Mine Chest will be charged $7 shipping. Finally, Mine Chests are currently only available in the US. Mojang is blaming high shipping costs for its exclusivity, however, it says it is "working extremely hard" in order to bring them down.

New Minecraft EULA Exclusions Drafted to Clarify Monetization

Walls Wilder — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 19:40:07 +0000

The fact that Minecraft users can run their own servers has always been a double-edged sword - one that is bloated and low-res yes, but a sharp one on both sides nonetheless. The servers let players do almost anything they like which is fantastic. However, there are times when these players break the conditions of the EULA and can put Mojang in serious trouble.

"Some privately run Minecraft servers charge for in-game items, extra xp, or access to specific game modes. Some servers even charge a significant amount," Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson wrote in an article on his blog yesterday. "I don't even know how many emails we've gotten from parents requesting their money back, which is usually around $100. child bought an item pack on a server we have no control over."

To protect itself from the possibility of such charges in the future, Mojang has created new rules for the monetization of. Mojang has provided the rules on its website, but it's essentially smaller restrictions for creating in-game items or other monetized products. Just make sure to communicate with your customers that you aren't Mojang and don't offer items that alter gameplay and don't ask for real-world cash for in-game money.

Oh, and one last thing, a direct request from Persson: "Herobrine is not real please stop asking." [Image: Mojang]
