Minecraft developer Mojang Studios is taking a strong stance against NFTs. In a blog entry titled "Minecraft and NFTs," the studio which is owned by Microsoft, wrote that "integrations of NFTs with Minecraft are generally not something we would support or allow."
Mojang has stated that blockchain technology is not allowed to be integrated into our client and server apps. "To ensure that Minecraft users have a safe, inclusive experience, neither will Minecraft in-game content such as worlds, skins or persona items be utilized by blockchain technology to create a unique digital asset."
According to Mojang certain companies have created "NFT implementations that are associated with Minecraft world files and skin packs." The studio suggests that there might be Minecraft "collectible" NFTs or that players could earn NFTs through activities in Minecraft on a server or earning them outside of the game.
Mojang claims that these practices promote digital exclusion and scarcity, which is contrary to Minecraft's core values. "NFTs are not inclusive of all members of our community and create a situation of the haves and the have-nots," the studio said. Mojang says that NFTs are speculative and "encourages profiteering."
The blog article is worth reading in its entirety. It discusses many of the criticisms of NFTs and blockchain-related projects in a clear and understandable way. (There are many more quotes I could include.
Valve has taken also taken the hard line against blockchain-based games and NFTs on Steam, and much of gamers have rejected NFTs, with Ubisoft discontinuing the production of NFTs for Ghost Recon Breakpoint just a few months after having launched the initiative. Epic Games stated last year that it is "open" to blockchain-based games to be made available on the Epic Games Store. The store received the first blockchain-based game in June.
While Mojang does not completely shut the door on incorporating blockchain in the future, it concludes by declaring that "we do not have any plans for implementing blockchain technology into Minecraft at the moment."
