EXCLUSIVE: Monthly Access to MINECRAFT Marketplace Pass for Endless Skins, Maps, and More

Mar 15, 2024 8:14 PM

Minecraft, the popular sandbox game, has introduced an exciting subscription service called the Marketplace Pass. This monthly membership, priced at $3.99, offers players access to a vast array of over 150 content packs from the Minecraft Marketplace. These packs feature a diverse range of content including new worlds, mash-ups, skin packs, texture packs, and more, which cater to different gameplay experiences like stories, combat, puzzles, or environment changes.

Subscribers will also receive monthly exclusive Character Creator items to adorn their in-game persona with unique cosmetics. The collection will kick off with limited-edition items such as mythical boots and a crown. These items, once claimed, will remain permanently in the player's wardrobe. The service is initially available for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, excluding Amazon Kindle Fire and Java Edition users. Moreover, anyone with an existing Realms Plus subscription need not purchase the Marketplace Pass as it already includes similar content offerings, plus a private server. A free 30-day trial is available to new members, who can explore the content before the subscription fees apply.

What is the Marketplace Pass in Minecraft, and how is it different from Realms Plus?

The Marketplace Pass in Minecraft is a subscription service that grants players access to over 150 content packs from the Minecraft Marketplace, including worlds, skins, and other items that are refreshed each month. Unlike Realms Plus, which includes a personal multiplayer server, the Marketplace Pass is tailor-made for players who prefer solo exploration of content.

Minecraft has been a widely influential game since its initial release in 2009 by creator Markus Persson and later developed and published by Mojang Studios. It is an open-world game where players can build and explore their own worlds made entirely of blocks. The game has fostered a large community of creators who design and share in-game content such as mods, skins, and adventure maps. Minecraft's flexibility and enduring popularity have helped it become the best-selling video game of all time, with continued updates and new features like Marketplace Pass keeping the community engaged.
