Minecraft Wiki ไม่ถือว่าเป็นวิกิอย่างเป็นทางการของ Microsoft อีกต่อไป ดังนั้นจึงมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงหลายประการเกิดขึ้น ซึ่งรวมไปถึงโลโก้ของวิกิด้วย โปรดอ่านที่ประกาศนี้สำหรับข้อมูลเพิ่มเติม
ในมุมมองแผนที่, players can see their character, which can be changed with the skins owned from the marketplace. Scattered around the maps are tappables. If a tappable is within a player's collection range, the player can tap it and collect items. There are multiple types of tappables, including stone, grass, chests, and mobs.
Adventures also appear on the map but can also be spawned in using Adventure Crystals. Adventures are the survival aspect of Minecraft Earth. Players can fight mobs, collect additional resources that are unavailable with tappables, and collect rewards.
Buildplates are worlds that players can use to build on. They can be shared, and worked on by invited individuals.[7][9]
Buildplates can vary in size, reaching up to 200 feet (60 metres).[7] Using the shop, players can upgrade the size of their plot, or buy a new plots. Plots can also be earned via a leveling system.
Buildplates can be 8×8, 16×16 or 32×32 blocks in size, and their build height limit is 221 blocks.[12] From ground level, a buildplate also extends 3 blocks downward. Bedrock appears after digging down 3 blocks.
Buildplates function like personal realms, and can be used anywhere. They run in the Bedrock Engine, meaning redstone, physics, and other mechanics are identical to Bedrock Edition. Players may invite friends to build with them locally and then share the world to others.[7][9]
Once a build is complete, if the player wants to have a persistent hologram of their world pinned somewhere, it would need to be reviewed before its pinned. Mojang claims to have a 24/7 moderation team, reviewing and looking at reports.[7]
People who are not invited can interact with the pinned world locally; once they leave said world everything is reset.[9] Only invited individuals can change the real world and take resources from it, non invited players cannot collect resources.[9]
Buildplates can be seen through the world as pinned worlds, and can be opened to explore and interact with.[9] To get their own, players must level up or purchase them through the store.
Buildplates can also be shared via a link, so players don't need to be near the pin to see creations.[7] The links shared can be temporary or never expiring.[7]
Minecraft Earth adventures have their own buildplates, with predefined above-ground and underground structures and hostile mobs. Like user buildplates, an adventure plate must be placed somewhere on the ground before interacting with it. Adventure buildplates cannot be saved or moved by a player although multiple players can interact with the same adventure at the same time.
Gameplay differences from regular Minecraft[]
Inventory in Minecraft Earth, showing that stacks of items and mobs appear unlimited in size and quantity.
Minecraft Earth offers somewhat different mechanics to players more familiar with Java or Bedrock editions of Minecraft. These differences include:
The game is basically two-dimensional; that is, while one can build upward and dig downward, a player cannot climb or descend unless a real-world structure is available for climbing and descending.
There is no day-night cycle. Buildplates and adventures always have the same lighting regardless of the real-world time of day. Some buildplates may be available with night illumination.
Inventory:
Inventory is effectively unlimited, both in inventory slots and the stack size of items or blocks.
There is no inventory crafting grid, and no way to repair damaged items by combining them.
There are no armor slots in the inventory.
Mobs can be collected, and achievements earned for collecting them. Occasionally a tappable drops a hostile mob that can be collected and placed on a buildplate.
Inventory is unaffected by death, as you don't have access to it during adventures. Only items in the hotbar and backpack, or all items brought with you and items collected during an adventure, are lost.
Crafting:
Both crafting and smelting take time, sometimes several minutes (or even hours) depending on the item. Like smelting in regular Minecraft, the player can exit the crafting or smelting interface to do other things while the process completes.
Several items cannot be crafted at all, such as chests, crafting tables, armor, villager workstations, and anything related to enchantments or potions (anvils, enchanting tables, brewing stands, etc.).
Tools and melee weapons have a longer reach. Range weapons can be crafted but are normally not needed.
Health and hunger are combined into one health gauge bar. Health is depleted by mob attacks, and restored by eating food.
Food cannot be cooked in survival mode (i.e. during an adventure), but must be cooked outside of an adventure. Food can be eaten during an adventure and outside of an adventure.
Iron ingots are available only by smelting iron ore, which is rare and never dropped by tappables. Iron ore can be obtained only via mining during an adventure, provided the adventure includes any iron at all.
There is currently no way to craft or wear armor in the game. A player must use tactics rather than armor for protection.
Chests cannot be found as items, crafted, or stored in the player's inventory. They exist only as tappables.
Ladders are available for construction but cannot be climbed.
Other differences:
Mini boosts are figurines you tap to your devices NFC reader giving you temporary boosts to your stats in-game, such as better defence or attack strength. Only 5 can be used at a time and you can only use the same one every 24 hours to revive the boosts again.
Adventure crystals were added for people isolating during COVID-19. Adventure crystals allow a player to experience a small, medium, large or huge adventure without having to go outside, provided the adventure has enough open area. Adventure crystals, despite being added for a reason, are a permanent feature and are not going to be removed.[13]
Microtransactions[]
The game has been confirmed to have full microtransactions.
The in game currency is rubies, which is not to be confused with Minecoins.[7]
Minecoins are also used as a secondary currency in Minecraft Earth, for purchasing skins and clothing.
Development[]
During Microsoft Build 2015, Microsoft's HoloLens team unveiled an augmented reality version of Minecraft.[15] On May 6, 2562, Microsoft released a video on YouTube, where some features from Minecraft Earth were shown.[16] On May 8, 2562, a trailer was released, showing some AR mods in Minecraft Earth. On Minecraft's 10th anniversary (May 17), Minecraft Earth was officially announced.
