The Microsoft-owned video game Minecraft is getting a Web3 update “NFT Worlds” thanks to developers known as ArkDev and Temptranquil, who are not affiliated with the Redmond-based tech conglomerate Microsoft.
This update gives players a metaverse experience in an existing game, Which is exciting news for NFT collectors and Minecraft fans.
Web3 developers have discovered a simple method for creating functional “metaverse” worlds and content, and it’s literally just Minecraft.
“NFT Worlds” is an NFT collection of 10,000 unique Minecraft worlds. It is fully decentralized, customizable, community-driven, a play-to-earn gaming platform that allows ‘World Owners’ to create their own limitless metaverse games or experiences for players or exclusive communities within their worlds.
Formed on third-party Minecraft servers with a Polygon-based overlay, NFT Worlds’ users can benefit from lower gas fees because it employs Polygon, a cheap and fast layer two solution for Ethereum.
NFT Worlds gives players access to Web3 features such as an online store where they can buy “Minecraft” items.
NFT Worlds adds Web3 by converting Minecraft worlds into saleable tokens and layering its own cryptocurrency, $WRLD, on top. So players will be allowed to buy items for their Minecraft experience using the $WRLD ERC-20 token. This is why it considers itself as the metaverse. A metaverse experience in the existing game sounds excellent, isn’t it?
The 10,000 different “Worlds” vary from snowy tundras to forest islands to massive volcanoes. And, not only all this, but it also provides larger properties than “The Sandbox” and “Decentraland.”
In fact, it tweeted the comparison of a single NFT Worlds vs. The Sandbox and Decentraland.
As the crypto industry continues to push the play-to-earn concept, it appears that large companies outside of the digital asset realm have caught on to the hype. Warner Music Group partnered with Splinterlands, a blockchain gaming developer to develop play-to-earn, arcade-style blockchain games.
