At the end of last year, the owner and creator of the social network Facebook, gave us his own concept of the metaverse that he wants to implement in it. Similarly, many companies and end users are entering this world related to Web3, the metaverse and NFTs.
All this is something that we have been talking about over the last few months and that does not look like it will change anytime soon. In addition to the concept of the metaverse, markets based on virtual currencies and the Web3 are called to be an important part of current and future technology. We must bear in mind that all this affects a multitude of technological fields, such as the world of video games.
There are some important companies related to this sector of entertainment that are starting to launch their own projects related to the aforementioned metaverse and NFTs. All this despite the criticism that has been made public by the workers and users of these companies. Next, we are going to talk about one of the most used and popular titles in this sense for many years, we are referring to Microsoft‘s Minecraft .
As many of you already know, this open world game allows us to carry out all kinds of projects within its universe. Precisely because of all this and as expected, everything related to the metaverse will also affect this title. Both the smallest users and the adults sometimes spend many hours a day moving through this world that Minecraft presents us. But now for some it is going to become much more interesting thanks to Web3.
The metaverse and NFTs also arrive in Minecraft games
We must bear in mind that when we talk about this video game , Minecraft, we are actually referring to an open world owned by Microsoft. It has not stopped gaining followers and users over the years and now it is beginning to delve into the latest technologies. Much of this is due to the fact that part of what is known as Web3 has arrived here.
We tell you all this because thanks to the mod called NFT Worlds , developed by external users, regulars of this title can access a good number of features and functions related to those of NFT from here. It is worth mentioning that this additional element that we added to Minecraft runs on third-party servers with a Polygon add-on. This provides us with a very efficient platform with a performance that we could consider quite good.
Thus, as a result, what is really achieved is turning Minecraft into a metaverse to compete with Decentraland or The Sandbox. Through the NFT Worlds mod , players can own huge parcels of land, trade items, or go on an adventure to play and earn virtual benefits. All this through the support of the native WRLD token. The same is used to provide benefits within the NFT Worlds ecosystem in Minecraft . To say that this is a project by developers Arkdev and Temptranquil who have no relationship with Minecraft or Microsoft.
In addition, it is an open source project that offers us a wide range of possibilities for the mod. Other projects can be built on top of it and build on the success of the popular Minecraft game franchise. To give you an idea, at its launch NFT Worlds has managed to collect 26,000 hours of play in its first three days .
