Minecraft Earth

Minecraft Earth Minecraft Earth APK lets Minecraft fans design buildings and project them into the real world using augmented reality. Build on shared buildplates, explore full-size creations, and earn rubies and minecoins.

Minecraft Earth

Minecraft Earth is a creative Minecraft experience made specifically for Minecraft fans. It brings blocky buildings and structures from Minecraft into the real world. After you design your creation in-game, you can use augmented reality (AR) to project it onto your surroundings, letting you walk around and view your build from every angle.

The game also has a lively community. Players can swap tips, download creations made by others, and upload their own works—keeping everything feeling fresh and interactive.

Gameplay

Like traditional Minecraft, Minecraft Earth focuses on building, collecting resources, crafting, and exploring. It uses the same Bedrock engine found in most other Minecraft versions.

Build Mode and Play Mode

• Build Mode: Create AR structures collaboratively on Buildplates with other players.
• Play Mode: Explore your build at full size, directly in the real world.

In both modes, Buildplates are placed over the real environment using AR and your phone camera.

Gathering resources

• Collect tappables shown on the in-game map.
• Complete adventures, which can be a puzzle, a specific objective, or a location-based challenge featuring hostile enemies to defeat.

Minecraft Earth also takes real-world objects—like trees and lakes—into account, helping reduce issues and interruptions for the AR experience.

Minecraft-style mobs and currencies

• The game includes a variety of mobs that are unique versions of Minecraft mobs.
• Two currencies are used: rubies and minecoins.
• Rubies: Earned through gameplay or bought with real money, used for gameplay-related items (including build plates).
• Minecoins: Available for purchase with real money only, used for cosmetic items like texture packs and character skins.

In the final update, Mojang removed real-money microtransactions, lowered in-game currency prices, and shortened crafting and smelting times so players could get the most out of the game before it shut down.

Useful Tips

Here are a few helpful tips and tricks now that you know the basics:

• It’s basically Minecraft: Don’t overthink it—Minecraft Earth is a portable “micro-Minecraft.” You’ll tap real-world spots to gather resources, then build your usual creations on your Buildplate wherever you are.
• Finish your daily challenges: Each day includes challenges that reward you for activities you’d likely do anyway. Check them from the second option from the right at the bottom of the screen.
• Collect while you’re out: Every trip outside can be a chance to earn rewards. Just open your phone occasionally to see what’s nearby—quick taps can net you plenty of new rewards.
• Try Adventures sometimes: Adventures are short, AR-style challenges where you gather rare resources and fight monsters with friends. If you’re searching for something for a build, it may show up during an Adventure.
• Share Buildplates with friends: Buildplates are small AR Minecraft spaces you can create on, wherever you go. You can also share them to collaborate with others.
