p>The update begins with a quick rundown of the NFTs, as well as a note about their extreme volatility, before setting out the current policies for Minecraft servers. The main goal of these policies, Mojang said, is "to ensure that Minecraft remains a place where everyone has access to the same content." NFTs On contrary, are specifically designed to "create models of exclusion and scarcity" which obviously conflicts with that principle. And so, they're out.
/p>
p>Mojang has stated that blockchain technology were not allowed to be integrated into our client or server applications, nor can Minecraft in-game content like worlds, skins and persona items be utilized by blockchain technology to create a scarce digital asset.
/p>
p>Mojang said that the update was initiated by numerous Minecraft-associated NFTs (and play-to-earn) servers. This exploits the gap in official policy to divide the community into "the haves" and "the have-nots".
/p>
p>Also a matter of concern is that some NFTs "may not be trustworthy and could end up costing those who purchase them," which is a remarkably polite way of putting it: The non-official Minecraft NFT game Blockverse (opens in new tab) was a scam that wiped out more than $1.2 million in January, is just one of many examples of NFT-related misfeasance (opens in new tab) and criminality (opens in a new tab) that we've seen in the last few years. This is especially true for Minecraft as it is more popular than other games, making it more vulnerable to fraud.
/p>
p>The official Minecraft usage guidelines (opens in new tab) are being revised to address the issue in depth, but the short version is a no-no: "NFTs associated with any game content, such as worlds, skins, persona items, or any other mods" are strictly prohibited. https://top-minecraft-servers.info/ </p>
p>That's not necessarily the end of the story. Mojang stated that it will continue to track the advancement of blockchain technology to determine if it can "enable more secure experiences or other practical and inclusive applications in gaming," suggesting that official support could be possible in the future. "We have no plans to introduce blockchain technology into Minecraft," however.
