p>Minecraft developer Mojang Studios is taking a strong stance against NFTs. The studio, which is owned by Microsoft and Microsoft, has declared that the integration of NFTs into Minecraft are not something they will allow or support.

/p>

p>Mojang has stated that blockchain technology is not allowed to be integrated into our client or server apps. "To ensure that Minecraft players enjoy a safe, inclusive experience, neither may Minecraft in-game content such as skins, worlds or items be used by blockchain technology to create an exclusive digital asset."

/p>

p>Mojang claims that a few companies have created "NFT Implementations that are associated with Minecraft World Files and Skin Packs." This suggests that Minecraft players could earn NFTs from playing on a server or through earning them outside of Minecraft.

/p>

p>Mojang argues these practices encourage digital scarcity and exclude and is against the ideals of Minecraft. "NFTs are not inclusive of all our community and create a semblance of the haves and the have-nots," the studio said. Mojang goes even further by declaring that the speculative nature of NFTs "encourages profiteering."

p>I strongly suggest that you go through the blog post in its entirety, as it succinctly lays out many criticisms of NFTs and blockchain-related projects in a way that's easy to comprehend. (There are many additional quotes I could have included.)

p>Valve has also taken a hard stance against blockchain games and NFTs on Steam, and much of the gaming community has soundly disapproved of NFTs as well, and Ubisoft discontinuing the production of NFTs for Ghost Recon Breakpoint just a few months after it 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. https://site-8843180-6031-3822.mystrikingly.com/blog/ryguyrocky-biography-age-height-net-worth-girlfriend-ethnicity The store received the first blockchain-based game in June. https://telegra.ph/It-is-Easy-to-Import-new-Resources-into-Zip-09-16 </p>

p>Mojang does not completely rule out the possibility of incorporating blockchain technology in the future. However, it states that "we don't have plans to implement blockchain technology into Minecraft right at this time."
