Minecraft Earth was designed around free movement and collaborative play – two things that have become near impossible in the current global situation. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to re-allocate our resources to other areas that provide value to the Minecraft community and to end support for Minecraft Earth in June 2021.
That said, we still have one update left. Today we are releasing the final build of the game, containing some changes to make your time in Minecraft Earth as fun as possible. We hope these adjustments will allow you to explore, craft, and build more – while staying safe indoors. Starting with today’s update, we are:
Removing real-money transactions Drastically reducing ruby costs Including all completed, unreleased content currently in our pipeline Reducing time requirements for crafting and smelting Replacing unused crafting & smelting boosts with radius boosts of the same level Granting a set of Character Creator items to players who sign in between January 5 and June 30
