The explorable NFT worlds of NFT Worlds, which are built on Ethereum's premier layer 2 solution Polygon Network, are compatible with Minecraft.
NFT Worlds is a decentralized gaming platform based on blockchain, made up of 10.000 virtual worlds in format NFT living on the blockchain Ethereum through Polygon Network. Each of the NFT World non-fungible tokens is an explorable and limitless world, where users and players can build practically anything they can imagine. These NFTs support the Minecraft gaming ecosystem, one of the best sandbox or open-world construction games in the world. By 2021, the Minecraft player base reached 140 million active users.
NFT Worlds defines itself as the open-source backbone of the Minecraft community. Using decentralization and blockchain technology, NFT Worlds enables the creation of new decentralized gaming metaverses within Minecraft, supported by Polygon and the Ethereum blockchain.
NFT Worlds virtual worlds feature their own geographic attributes, features, and resources for users and players to build and develop their own metaverses and virtual environments in a decentralized way. The goal of this gaming platform is to provide a space for the crypto community to create without limits.

NFT Worlds in Minecraft
In her official website, the developers of NFT Worlds explain that they have decided to build their decentralized blockchain gaming platform on top of Minecraft because of the potential that this gaming ecosystem has to boost the decentralized metaverse. Although Minecraft is a non-blockchain platform, its open-source ecosystem makes it possible to develop community spaces, games, and worlds that are interconnected with each other. Thanks to these features, players have the ability to easily interact between their favorite worlds.
Minecraft also offers a cross-platform ecosystem, so NFT Worlds players can access its blockchain platform from different devices, such as PC, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, among others. All this thanks to the Minecraft game client and its open source server bridge systems, the NFT Worlds developers indicated.
Minecraft’s open-source gaming ecosystem also offers NFT Worlds players access to a wide range of building tools, game mechanics, and overall infrastructure, making it easy to create unique experiences, custom games, and more within the explorable worlds of NFT Worlds. The project also benefits from Minecraft’s global user base to grow exponentially.
“We didn’t want to have to “reinvent the wheel” by creating our own untested game from scratch… This would take too long.”, commented the developers of the NFT Worlds platform. "With nearly a decade of experience working in the open-source Minecraft ecosystem… we knew it would be a perfect fit to power the NFT Worlds decentralized gaming metaverse.”.

The first NFT World developed on the platform was created last October by the content team Entity Builds, considered one of the greatest builders of Minecraft, as he pointed NFT Worlds on their Twitter account. This first NFT world, world #4142, was auctioned on Opensea reaching a value of 4 ETH. The proceeds from the sale of this NFT were delivered in full to the creator team.
Team Visionary, another of the great content creation teams in Minecraft, and Varuna LLC, a design and consulting studio that has been working with Minecraft since 2016, have also joined NFT Worlds as construction partners.
Intellectual property and centralization
While Minecraft offers great advantages to NFT Worlds, its developers also explained that they are aware of the risks involved in building their decentralized NFT platform on this gaming ecosystem, developed by Microsoft-owned studio Mojang.
The developers have explained that they are in constant communication with the Microsoft team to ensure that they comply with the Minecraft End User License Agreement (EULA) at all stages of development of NFT Worlds, so as not to violate the game's property rights. However, despite affirming the collaboration with the company, there seems to be no confirmation of the collaboration from Microsoft.
In late January, Microsoft acquired gaming giant Activision Blizzard in a $68.700 billion deal, seeking to boost its gaming business and drive the construction of the Metaverse.
NFT Worlds has its own utility token, WRLD, launched last December. Currently, WRLD is trading at around $0,25 per unit.
