The Marketplace (Minecraft Store on PlayStation 4) is an in-game store, where players can purchase access to skins, textures and worlds from community creators, who in turn get reimbursed for their creations. Players can access these by spending Minecoins (or Tokens on PlayStation 4), which can be bought with their own currency, or bought directly.

Cost of Minecoins
''Note: Pricing is the same for Tokens on PlayStation 4. (Tax and Fees are subject to change by country and area.)''

Requirements
The Marketplace is a service that can only be accessed by players that meet these requirements:


 * The player must have purchased the full version of Bedrock Edition (not including Legacy Console Editions or Apple TV)
 * The player must have a stable internet connection

Content
There are 4 different categories of content available on the Marketplace, including Skin Packs, Worlds, Texture Packs and Mash-up Packs. There is currently no option to purchase individual add-on packs that are not exclusively packaged with a world. All purchased content instantly syncs to your Microsoft account unless you are not signed into your Xbox profile, in which case it will be saved locally to your device.

All content is submitted by official Minecraft partners and is approved by the Minecraft Content Team.

Adventure Maps
Adventure maps are self-contained experiences that focus on exploring and other types of guided gameplay. These types of worlds range from PvP arenas to simulators and can be designed for singleplayer, multiplayer or both.

Mini-Games
Mini-games are compact worlds with a specific theme or goal that are designed to be repeatable. These can feature a set of different gamemodes and variants or be designed to reset continuously.

Survival Spawns
Survival spawns are starter maps that players can explore, gain loot from and expand. Maps of this type can sometimes add an entirely new aspect to the game but will still allow players to experience the world as they normally would in survival mode.

Trivia

 * Before the Minecraft Marketplace was introduced, real money was used to buy the in-game Texture Packs and Skins. When Mojang did it this way, all of the content had to pass certification on every single platform. The Marketplace and Minecoins were introduced to avoid this.
 * Any packs that were bought or redeemed before the Marketplace was introduced read "Owned (P)" instead of "Owned".
 * On PlayStation 4, Tokens are used instead of Minecoins and do not transfer to or from other platforms. They are light, matte blue and have a large T in the middle instead of an M.
