Minecraft Earth is a free-to-play augmented reality game for mobile that is claimed to bring the creative nature of Minecraft to the real world.
The game’s mechanics are simple: explore a neighbourhood to find blocks and unique mobs for your builds. Once you have them, any flat surface is an opportunity to build. Team up with friends to create amazing builds on Build Plates, and then place them in the real world to explore at life-size.
Craft new items, breed mobs, grow crops – it’s Minecraft as you know it in a way you’ve never seen before. There’s lots of fun to be had and it’s even better with friends.
The game blends state-of-the-art Microsoft technology like Azure Spatial Anchors AR tracking and PlayFab integration to bring the Minecraft Earth experience to life.
