“Since we are in the process of updating our Minecraft user guidelines to more specifically address new technologies, we wanted to take this opportunity to share our perspective, as NFT integrations into Minecraft are not something that we will generally support or allow.“. The time to recall the principle of non-fungible tokens and the speculation of which certain associated elements are the subject, Mojang drops the sentence.
“In order to ensure a safe and inclusive experience for Minecraft players, blockchain technologies are not permitted to be integrated into our client and server applications, and Minecraft game content, such as worlds, skins, or other mods, is not permitted. can be used by blockchain technology to make it a rare digital asset.“The publisher indeed believes that digital properties designed around Minecraft are based on scarcity and exclusion, and go against the values of inclusion, creativity and shared experience that underpin the game. In other words, they make a distinction in the gaming community, while diverting attention from the game by encouraging speculation.
“We are also concerned that some third-party NFTs are unreliable and end up costing players who acquire them. Some third-party NFT implementations are also entirely dependent on blockchain technology and may require an asset manager that could disappear without notice. There have also been cases of NFTs being sold at artificially or fraudulently inflated prices. We believe that the creation within our game has intrinsic value, and we strive to provide a marketplace where those values can be considered.“
So many reasons that lead Mojang to prohibit the integration of blockchain technologies within client and server applications, regardless of the associated content, even if the studio claims to be attentive to the evolution of technology.
