Are you looking forward to NFTs? Are you a fan of the games Minecraft? Then we have negative announcements for your. It's not like Minecraft will integrate the NFTs in its world. Ever.
Minecraft prohibited NFTs in July 2022. The team justified this ban through the public announcement made in the same year. The team claimed that NFTs are models of exclusion and scarcity which are in contradiction to their wish that all players be able to access the identical content.
The consequences of this massive ban were quick and devastating. The most notable example is NFT Worlds is a beleaguered metaverse-based gaming project which used to let users buy, mint and trade three-dimensional worlds compatible with Minecraft. After the Minecraft ban came into effect, NFT Worlds' proprietary $WRLD token rapidly dipped in value. However, this only intensified the impact of a prolonged downturn in the industry -- 2022's Crypto Winter.
Many were worried that it would be the final chapter in NFT Worlds.
Yet, NFT Worlds wasn't discouraged. Rather, the team saw this potentially-catastrophic news as a rallying call. As with many other companies during this bear market the company states it felt that there was no other option other than to continue building.
In a long public announcement that was released, in a lengthy public statement, the NFT Worlds team announced they would develop their own spin on Minecraft which includes "the modernization and active development Minecraft has been missing for years." This is a significant issue. Will NFT developers tackle the same project in size as Minecraft? Are we going to see the release of an NFT Minecraft version? Minecraft?
NFT-based Minecraft: Can game developers do it?
As per the NFT Worlds team, they've already begun to gather "the top visionary developers within the Minecraft development ecosystem" to collaborate on the project. The team also acknowledges the support of a vibrant community, and "a warchest of funds to sustain us through the process."
Moving from NFT Worlds to the NFT gaming industry generally, you won't need to search at a long distance to see huge amounts of money or new NFT-based initiatives that are innovative. Furthermore, these projects are being developed by a wide range of experts and established teams.
Given all of these sources and track records It seems like some slight adjustments to the question is required. Also we shouldn't be asking whetherNFT developers could make an actual Minecraft rival to host user-created metaverse experiences. It is evident that the skills and resources exist within the NFT gaming community. Therefore, it would be better to inquire when we can expect the game.
It appears that we'll have to wait for quite a long time.
Although it's advertised as a basic fun, family-friendly game, the infrastructure that allows Minecraft to expand to its current state is unlikely to take a couple of months to develop. In fact, even a seasoned team of developers could take many years to design and deploy an intricate system. It's true that the game's core is revamped with around 500 line of code written in Python. Other aspects that are essential in the Minecraft experience can present developers with their own unique set of issues, such as procedurally generated assets endlessly repeating worlds, as well as a variety of tools available to creators.
In the end, regardless of which developer is in charge of the development, creating an online game that is similar in way to Minecraft is bound to be a massive undertaking. And then, of course, there's the advertising and user acquisition necessary. It also requires time and months of strategy creation.
How long do you think it will take?
The process of estimating the timeframe
Because of the complex nature of the infrastructure as well as the volatility of the crypto market it's not easy to determine. For the context, The Sandbox is also an voxel-based game that is centered around players' creativity -- spent four years developing prior to the launch of the first Alpha version.
In general, speeding up the development process for any type of games, Web3 or otherwise, is not a good sign for how good the final product. Take a look at the main gaming industry to find some noteworthy examples of games being released in unfinished and unpolished states to the rage of gamers. There's a myriad of games to pick of: Battlefield 2042, Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout 76 The list of games goes on and on.
Therefore, it's safe to assume that the project could take some time, at the very least.
Which company will first be on the introduce?
The NFT-based worlds players have created will remain the servers of Minecraft. They will continue to function and are played in, as well as those made by players through NFT Worlds. However, these worlds cannot ever be able to incorporate blockchain-based features. Furthermore, as the NFT Worlds game engine NFT Worlds is under development players' launcher pages and the play page of NFT Worlds will continue to remain in operation and will be updated to add new non-crypto-based features that attract players.
This is what makes NFT Worlds seem like a good candidate.
"Make no mistake, this is a web2 vs web3 battle," NFT Worlds press release stated. "It is a fight between two views of web3's future internet which place profits and shareholder value over all else, and the other that focuses on the spirit of innovation by independent creators. It's both philosophical debate regarding what the Internet signifies, and an ongoing technological battle about who will own the rights in digital properties."
While it's a nice mission statement, it's not without reason to consider what NFT Worlds' initial model really embodied "the spirit of innovation." It's clear it was true that NFT Worlds' reported 100,000 users displayed a lot of imagination in creating new games and worlds with Minecraft as their base however, we cannot affirm the same for project leaders who were hesitant to put every hope on the fact that it was ultimately, at the end of the day, another person's game.
However to be fair, in NFT Worlds' official document the issue was confronted directly.
Why Minecraft? With more than a decade of gaming and modding experience with Minecraft to create an open-source gaming platform and platform for gaming, NFT Worlds team members stated, NFT Worlds team said, "When we started NFT Worlds, we knew that in order to compete in the rapidly expanding NFT metaverse gaming category we'd need to bootstrap our vision using an existing open-source gaming ecosystem to create the thriving community driven world development, community spaces, community created games and interconnected worlds that we envisioned."
This is understandable since the team did not want to be forced the burden of having to "reinvent the wheel" by creating the game of their custom (unproven) strategy from scratch. The development of games can require a long time in the end, in the end. The need to invent regarding the NFT integration as well as blockchain could make things way complicated.
In this moment, NFT Worlds already has their foot in the door, which means they have a strong chance.
