The blog of the studio owned by Microsoft stated on Wednesday that NFTs within Minecraft were "generally not something we will allow and support." It also stated that it was changing its Minecraft Usage Guides to clarify that blockchain technology is not allowed to be integrated into the Minecraft client. Additionally, NFTs based upon in-game content (e.g skins, items or mods) are not able to be used to create NFTs.



The developers wrote that blockchain technology's notions of digital ownership are built on "scarcity, exclusion", which "doesn't match with Minecraft values of inclusion, creativity and playing together."

As of August 2021 numbers from Statista, Minecraft is still being played by 141 million gamers every month, despite the game being almost 13 years old. In a 2019 interview Helen Chiang, head of Minecraft studio, revealed that Minecraft players were on average 24 years old. However, the game is specifically designed to be kid-friendly, Chiang said. For Minecraft players, the ERSB rating is for 10 years old and above. A money-making investment strategy built into the client raises plenty of red flags. This is especially the case when it exposes children to abuse. Chiang reportedly said to Edge that "We must be transparent and clear about how we plan to monetize in the game."

Roblux is a game that encourages users to spend Roblux in-game for items, while they visit worlds that are specifically designed to promote brands like Ralph Lauren, Nike, and Vans.

Roblox users are not allowed to pay compensation by acting as models for assets.
