The Minecraft usage guidelines outline how to make the same features available to all players, and the Minecraft development team says it's a community where everyone has access to the same content. To guarantee it. '

In addition, the development team stated that 'NFTs may create models of rarity and exclusion that go against our guidelines and the spirit of Minecraft', introducing NFTs into Minecraft, and of NFTs. It has stated that it is not allowed to integrate the underlying blockchain technology inside client and server applications.



This report by the development team was made because members of the community asked for clarification and transparency about the developer's position on NFTs and blockchain.

According to the development team, some companies have recently started implementing NFTs related to Minecraft world files and skin packs, as well as creating collector's NFTs and allowing players to earn NFTs in their activities on the server. Or, it is said that actions such as making it possible to earn NFT rewards for Minecraft through activities outside the game have also been confirmed.

However, some third-party NFTs were unreliable, costing the player who purchased them, and could disappear without notice, and were artificially or fraudulently lifted. The development team pointed out that there are cases where it was sold at a price.

Under these circumstances, the development team said, 'Use of NFTs and other blockchain technologies like the above example creates digital ownership based on shortage and exclusion, which is consistent with the creative and collaborative values of Minecraft. No. NFTs don't cover all communities, they create those who have and those who don't. The speculative pricing and investment thinking around NFTs moves away from the original focus of gameplay. It encourages the pursuit of profit and I think it is inconsistent with the long-term joy and success of the player. '

The development team also said, 'We pay close attention to how blockchain technology evolves over time so that the above principles are adhered to, for a safer experience and other practical and comprehensive games. We will decide whether to enable the application, but we have no plans to implement blockchain technology in Minecraft right now. '
