What counts and what doesn’t
| Purchase | Pays commission? |
|---|---|
| Eligible Marketplace worlds, skin packs, add-ons and similar content bought on the web | Yes |
| Minecoins spent on an eligible product | Yes, counted as part of that purchase |
| Minecoins bought on their own | No |
| Anything outside the eligible Marketplace list | No, at launch |
Is it worth it?
For big channels that already push Marketplace maps, 5% is free money for something they were doing anyway. For small creators it will be pocket change unless their audience buys a lot. Still, it is the first time Minecraft has paid creators directly for driving Marketplace sales. You must follow Mojang’s disclosure rules, so label affiliate links clearly.
