I don't care about Minecraft but this is pretty fucking ambitious. It'll be something else if they can pull it off.
Minecraft Earth announced
- Thread starter JINX
- Start date
This looks amazing.
I live next to a lake that has an island in the middle of it. I've always joked to my girlfriend that we should build a castle on the island and claim it as our own. With this I can actually do that lol

This will be massive.
Now if only Nintendo would hurry up and use similar AR tech to make -
Splatoon: Planetary Turf War

I thought placing your own Minecraft creations in the world was the whole point of this thing?
Is there just adventures and collecting to do initially, as well as building but only you can see it?
You won't be able to build things live in the world. The end goal seems to be that you build something first and then get it approved by Microsoft and only then you're able to place your creation somewhere. So you still get to "place your creations in the world" but you have to make it first, then place.
Bear in mind they'll make money off this by tying unique content you NEED to "hot spots" like McDonald's, Starbucks, Burger King, etc.
Corporations will be paying tons to get their real life stores and locations a content-foot in the game so that players visit and spend money
The creators will get paid shit tons for this and they'll gather all your data about where you move and what you buy at the same time, so your future movements and purchases will be predicted and also sold to said corporations
This is how Pokémon Go made its money
(The concept behind the game is fabulous and impressive, but the whole "F2P with no strings attached" thing is WAY too good to be true and people need to see that.)

If the vision they present will be true to the actual game this has pokemon go level of success written all over it.
Looks fun. I will probably give it a try, even if just to see what other people are making.
It's her next step towards world domination.
I was gonna mention this, not to be funny, not to be original, but just to say that the moment the chains come off, or someone figures a work around, there will be tons of F'd up repugnant sh*t out there. They better have some crazy ass software to determine what is OK and what isnt.
Man, wish I had this when I was younger.
And I'm also worried the earth is going to be covered in blocky penises. Haha.

Oh sorry, I didn't realise you spoke for the entire population.
I too don't really care for AR features but you can bet your ass that the kids are going to flock to this and it's going to be absolutely fucking massive!
Couldn't care less about the game but it will be huge if they pull it off.
Love reading about the tech behind it though , impressive stuff .

I'm happy for you that you already played it - care to elaborate on the game's shortcomings?
