The game was free-to-play, and supported Android and iOS smartphones. Minecraft Earth utilized information from OpenStreetMap for map information and was built on Microsoft Azure for its augmented reality features. Minecoins, which are present in all Bedrock editions of Minecraft, could only be purchased with real money and are used to purchase cosmetic items, such as texture packs and character skins. Rubies could be earned through gameplay or purchased with real money and could be used to purchase items that affect gameplay such as "build plates". The game had two in-game currencies: "rubies" and "minecoins".
Minecraft Earth included many different kinds of in-game entities called "mobs" that are exclusive variations of the mobs in Minecraft. Minecraft Earth considers physical objects such as trees and lakes so there are fewer incidents and interferences with the AR simulation. Players could gather resources by collecting "tappables" in the in-game map and by completing "adventures" which may be a puzzle, a specific task, or a virtual location with hostile entities to defeat. In both Build mode and Play mode, the buildplates were overlaid onto the real world using augmented reality (AR) and the built-in phone camera. In "build mode", players could build augmented reality structures on "Buildplates" in collaboration with other players, then explore them in full size with "play mode". The game utilized the same Bedrock game engine as other versions of Minecraft.
Similar to Minecraft, Minecraft Earth was centered around building structures, gathering resources, crafting, and exploration. Īs well as being an augmented reality game, Minecraft Earth was also a location-based game due to its use of a GPS-tracked world map, similar to Pokémon Go. The game received its final update in January 2021 and officially shut down on 30 June 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The game was free-to-play, and was first released in early access on 17 October 2019. A spin-off of the video game Minecraft, it was first announced in May 2019, and was available on Android and iOS. Minecraft Earth was an augmented reality and geolocation-based sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios and published by Xbox Game Studios.
