p>The update starts with a brief explanation of the NFTs, as well as an explanation of their extreme volatility, before laying out the current rules for Minecraft servers. The main goal of these policies, Mojang said, is "to ensure that Minecraft remains a community where everyone can access the same content." NFTs however, are designed to "create models of exclusion and scarcity," which is clearly in contradiction to this principle. They're out.

p>Mojang stated that blockchain technologies were not permitted to be integrated into our client or server apps, nor can Minecraft game-specific content such as skins, worlds, and other items be used by blockchain technology to create a unique digital asset.

/p>

p>The update was apparently caused by the fact that many Minecraft-associated NFTs and play-to-earn servers are available, taking advantage of the gap in official policy and splitting the community into "the haves and the have-nots," Mojang said.

/p>

p>Another reason to be cautious is that some NFTs may not be reliable and could end up costing those who buy NFTs," which is a extremely polite way of putting it. The unofficial Minecraft NFT Game Blockverse (opens new tab) disappeared with more than $1.2M in January, is just one of few examples of NFT-related malfeasance and criminality that we've witnessed over the last few years. This is especially true for Minecraft as it is more popular than other games and is therefore more susceptible to scams. https://minecraft-servers.live/ </p>

p>The official Minecraft usage guidelines (opens in a new tab) are being updated to address this issue in greater detail, however the simplest version is a no-no: "NFTs associated with any in-game content, including skins, worlds and other items, or other mods" are strictly prohibited.

/p>

p>That's not necessarily the end of it: Mojang stated that it will continue to follow the evolution of blockchain technology to determine whether it can "enable more secure gaming experiences or other applications that are practical and inclusive in gaming," suggesting that official support for blockchain technology could be possible in the near future. For now, though, "we have no plans of implementing blockchain technology into Minecraft."
