Minecraft rejects NFTs and blockchain technology for a safe and inclusive gaming experience

Mojang Studios announced that "Minecraft" will draw a line from NFT and blockchain technology, showing a firm position to protect the game's values and players' interests.

What is NFT and Blockchain Technology?

According to Baidu Encyclopedia, NFT (Non-Fungible Token), a non-fungible token, is the only cryptocurrency token used to represent digital assets. NFTs can be bought and sold, just like tangible assets. A blockchain is a chain composed of one block after another. Each block stores a certain amount of information, and they are connected into a chain according to the time sequence of their generation. This chain is stored in all servers, and as long as one server in the entire system can work, the entire blockchain is secure. These servers are called nodes in the blockchain system, and they provide storage space and computing power support for the entire blockchain system.

Therefore, NFT and blockchain technology are not completely negative things in a simple sense, they have their own functions and advantages. This is why some people propose to integrate NFT and blockchain technology into Minecraft. However, the core reason why Mojang Studios rejected these two technologies is "value discord": that is, "Minecraft" essentially emphasizes the co-play of creativity and inclusiveness, while the use of NFT and other blockchain technologies is based on Scarcity and exclusion create digital ownership.

To ensure a safe and inclusive gaming experience for players

"Minecraft" official statement: "NFT does not accommodate all our communities, but creates a scene of rich and poor. The speculative pricing and investment mentality around NFT diverts attention from playing games and encourages Profiteering, we believe this is not in line with the long-term happiness and success of our players.” This intolerant and wealth-gap-making nature eventually led Mojang Studios to decisively reject NFTs and blockchains.

But in addition, Mojang Studios also considers that there are also problems with the reliability of third-party NFTs, which may cost players who buy these NFTs; because some managers behind third-party NFTs may suddenly Disappeared, and in the past, there were also problems such as artificial methods or even fraudulent methods to drive up prices in the relevant market.

Therefore, after comprehensive and careful consideration, in order to ensure that players have a safe and inclusive game experience, Minecraft will not allow NFT and blockchain technology to be added to the game client and server applications.
