It doesn't matter that the largest video game companies in the world, such as Activision or Tencent, are entering the NFT industry. The Minecraft developer wants these tokens to stay as far away as possible from his larger game.
On July 20, MojangStudios, the team behind Minecraft, announced that it does not support or allow the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the game.
MojangStudios feels that the use of NFT in the game will cause scarcity and resistance in the player community because of the privileges of some customers and the damage of other users. As they said when updating the community guidelines, this is a risk they don't want to take:
[The NFT model of scarcity and contradictions with which they build fundamental policy and the spirit of Minecraft, [...] NFT it does not include each of their communities, but instead creates a rich and poor scenario."
NFTs and digital currencies have no place in MinecraftLands together.
Blockchain technology and NFT use inconsistent Minecraft common game creative inclusion and values allow players to be rewarded through other behaviors outside of the game.
In addition, MojangStudios feels that the use of NFT in the game will change the focus on the happiness of the game, because customers will pay more attention to the speculative price of NFT, rather than being as happy as they have always been for the game. The game has been around for 12 years.
They also mentioned that they oppose the implementation of NFTs because of the hacking and fraud problems of the companies that manage these assets, which makes it easy for these tokens to "disappear without notice."

the door won't stay shut
While Minecraft is currently, the developers are by no means allowed to integrate blockchain technology into the game, they say they will study the evolution of blockchain technology over time to see if future implementations would be interesting or not. beneficial. However, they have no intention of doing so in the short term.
MojangStudios' unexpected decision has wreaked havoc around other Minecraft ecosystem projects. One of NFTWorld: Until today, the project has had no problems with the developers and maintains good communication with them.
In the hours after Minecraft`s announcement, NFTWorld`s native token dropped by more than 58%, adding uncertainty to players who don`t know what will happen to the game in the future.
