Minecraft Earth combines Pokemon Go with Mojang’s block builder
Minecraft is officially ten years old today. Mojang has been building towards a major celebration all month, but now that the game is officially a decade old, the developer has revealed one last party-piece - Minecraft Earth.
Revealed earlier today, Minecraft Earth is an augmented reality mobile game that allows players to build something on your phone and then drop it into the real world for all to see, Speaking to The Verge, game director Olafsson described the game as “an adaptation, this is not a direct translation of Minecraft.” Building mechanics and Minecraft’s blocky take on physics remains, but Minecraft Earth introduces some major changes.
For example, you won’t be able to start hammering away at a real-life in order to collect wood. Instead, you’ll be heading to ‘tapables’ - small resource piles similar to Pokemon Go’s Pokestops. To build the kind of massive structures that Minecraft has become famous for over the years, you’ll need to collect an awful lot, which means you’ll need to head out and explore to find more materials.
