Lets go first, anyways at its launch I was def younger. I only had a kindle at the time so I really couldn't play it. Still had the kindle when it shut down due to covid. Covid was horrible, not only did it shut down several cool things, we were locked apart and this Minecraft earth was GONE.

[@steve7050]

Yep it got really stale real fast. Minecraft earth implemented collect-athon elements and real world waiting(such as COC builds), but most players like myself just wanted to build in AR.

[@thisisbeagle2605]

it's worth mentioning for Pokemon GO- when the pandemic hit, they offered free "Remote Raid Passes" and other items, allowing you to interact with raids from any position- greatly reducing the need to leave the house. They also sold similar items in their shop, meaning they made a LOT of money from people trying to quarantine

[@TtEL]

RAID SHADOW LEGENDS passes (haha very funny joke)

[@nathankellogg2640]

I think a lot of people forget they did actually offer remote experiences. Most notably, they drastically increased the spawn rate of tappables and completely removed adventures from the spawn pool. They began offering adventures crystals at readily available rates, and offered rubies (the premium currency) via daily logins. My honest speculation for the game's downfall is because of a lack of monetization. You could very easily walk around for an hour and get around $5 worth of currency so it didn't feel compelling to actually buy anything. The marketing for the game... it wasn't really there post launch. While people were hyped, nobody knew it released. The customer service. It literally just didn't exist. I got regular monthly updates that a representative would read my ticket. I still get those emails funny enough.

[@badpiggies988]

Yeah, especially at a time when video game companies were booming as we all had way too much free time on our hands, that was a missed opportunity. Such a shame that MC Earth was yet another failed spinoff like Story Mode (whose moral of the story was make them yourself instead of having a totally-stable third party company do it for you, and stands as an example of why physical media > digital)

[@Shavix]

Minecraft Earth had a similar feature, instead of dungeons spawning around the map, after the pandemic news spread out, they added dungeons you could spawn from your inventory wherever you were, and play them in your house, I'd spent hours playing them

Imagine how cool it would be if you could just create and see public builds that anyone could admire while walking down the street. It might’ve needed some moderation but that would’ve been a game changer.

To me it was incredibly promising and had interesting concept.

Like we were still going outside time to time, just not with other people, so the tappables could still be easily collected.

[@_Shard85]

I played minecraft earth ever since it released for me, I would play for 2-3+ hours a day every day. I played until my GalaxyA40 fell on the floor and the superAMOLED panel broke, when I got a new phone I realised I couldnt play anymore because MC:E requires a Gyroscope which my new GalaxyA12 didnt have..... And it all happened in the first days of the Sunset update. I really wish that MC:E would get revived with a modification which would use the Accelerometer and Camera with some extra processing power to use as a Gyroscope, it would make non-compatible performance devices finally compatible like the GalaxyA12. Bring back MC:E Mojang.

[@Nebin20]

I only got to play it for about the last two months of it's life, when I finally got a phone that could play it. As a casual game I quite enjoyed it. There was something relaxing to collecting and building in vr. It's a shame the game was shut down so soon. It had a lot of potential and room to improve. As for problems, the only two that come to mind are: it crashed more than I'd like, and not being able to go down in adventures without messing with the camera. I discovered when the camera was covered up, it would wait for it to be open again. If you moved the phone around before opening it, your placement in vr didn't change, so you could be higher up and "desend" repeatedly.

[@jondorthebrinkinator]

I think PoGo survived because it had already had enough time to mature and gain features that could be altered to suit a pandemic situation. At launch, PoGo only had three basic mechanics: Catch pokemon, hatch eggs, battle gyms. All of which required physically going places. Catching pokemon could be done in a very limited sense if you were fortunate enough to live near a pokestop to replenish items. By the time of the pandemic, PoGo had added Raid battles, Team Go Rocket battles, Go Battle League, Adventure Sync, and a host of daily and weekly triggers for items and whatnot. Raids were altered to add remote raiding with limitations (as well as some temporary bonuses that have yet to go away). Team Go Rocket gained hot air balloons so that players who could not get out would have a slow, but steady stream of Rocket members to fight (the feature is still in place). Go Battle League had its distance requirement per battle set temporarily removed (a feature that never made any sense to begin with and has officially been eliminated since), and Adventure Sync made it possible for players to gain walking distance while (relatively) stationary by counting steps (or other phone shakes) while the game was closed. If the pandemic occurred when PoGo was still in its larval state with only the first two generations of pokemon partially released, it very likely would have died from lack of playability and lack of interest just the same as Minecraft Earth.

Clarification on PoGo’s covid situation! During lockdown they gave free drops and remote raid passes, meaning the game was still very much alive during lockdown. When lockdown ended, they implemented a free daily incense that only works when you’re moving to combat the habits built up during lockdown.

[@yeldarb300]

Pokemon go only lived because of its brand name. Every other major ar game died or ate those losses. They added “remote raid passes” but you had to pay for them after you used the 3 free ones. Basically the one a day free pass was traded for a “pay only” pass. Even then you had to use discord to coordinate raids. Needless to say, the did the bare minimum and really exploited their fan’s inability to go outside, by paywalling a core feature. I think its also important to note that Pokemon Go was built by a company that previously made AR games and had ~3 years to grow before the pandemic. Minecraft earth was built by the mojang team with the leftovers from an scrapped hololense project. They had 2-3 months to work on the game before covid hit. Its a shame because the devs for Earth openly talked with the community on discord. They were very open about what they were working on, as well as issues and challenges the team was facing concerning certain features (such as public buildings). They even did multiple Q&As. Honestly if it wasn’t for the pandemic, I could’ve seen this game garnering more support in the long run.

[@ZÏ̇̃]

Honestly though, they should really just work on fixing up the mc earth code and add the pin buildplates feature, before re-releasing the game now the pandemic is over. The game was fun to begin with but the point of the game was to be able to place your builds in the real world.

[@xguitarist_]

The thing that killed it most was the grind you had to put in imo. My first thought was me and some friends firing tnt cannons or bows at each other in room scale but after about maybe a week or two of playing I had only two tnt if I remember. It just wasn’t worth the grind for that. Probably can get a better experience in vr now anyways

[@Sorvetedchocolat]

Can confirm. QuestCraft is a Java VR mod that is really fun and immersive. And the fact you can play in the same Java servers with your friends make it even better. Maybe Minecraft wasn't made for AR anyway, VR just translate better from the classic gameplay

I was really excited for Minecraft Earth. I genuinely thought it hadn't come out yet though.

[@nathans9972]

The reason I think Pokemon Go succeeded where Minecraft Earth didn't is that Niantic slowly but steadily added ways for players to interact with the game world even during a pandemic. The best examples I can think of this are the daily spawns that occur regardless of location, and the team go rocket balloons, that could even host Giovanni. They also added a couple features as the pandemic was lessening to encourage players who stopped to get back into it, one notable example being the recent Daily Adventure Incense, which spawns a bunch of pokemon as long as you are walking, but can still work in rural areas, and can even encounter the Galarian Bird legendary trio. Minecraft Earth, as far as I remember, did none of those things, and mostly just hoped players wouldn't forget about it. But when a game stops being played for any reason then players are unlikely to pick it back up again. Also it would help if they put money towards marketing the game. Other than near launch, I never once saw any advertising for it. I get pokemon go ads pretty regularly.

I remember making apple accounts in other countries to get this game early when it was in being rolled out to select regions and it was so much fun! I feel like if they relaunched it now it would be a success but it would take a miracle for this game to see the light of day again.

Never been able to play it as my phone wasn't good enough

I've played it on an SE, it was a sun in the palm of my hand

i think that it was too eraly for them to release a game like this AR technology is difficult and still very early in development, say what you want but its 20x easier for you make minecraft earth in VR than in AR also, how would you pin down builds? the only way that i can think of is if the minecraft earth servers downloaded the entire world map everytime a player interacted with a build using location, which would be very expensive, slow, and innacurate the game isnt bad, its just underdeloped and came too soon with a unfinished type of technology

Exactly

I feel like if they did a big update and put it back up on the App Store and google play it might have a chance because (the thing) is ovwr

Minecraft earth felt like a cool tech demo. I played it once then left it. It was cool to build a house in the real world then take screenshot of people in it. That was it

If I would have made this video I wouldn’t stop crying…. For me it’s just sad.

It's weird that everyone was excited for Minecraft Earth, but when this game released everyone forgot about it.

[@miimiiandco]

I feel like many of Minecraft Earth's issues are eerily similar to Pokemon Go, or really most AR games. Most of them seem to be lootbox simulators. In Go, you search for random Pokemon spawns. In MC Earth, you look around for random spawns. Both games have a heavy grind element, and are very difficult to get into as a result.

It's wild, I never even knew about this happening, completely passed me by

[@curseofbinding]

Minecraft earth would probably be featured in an iceberg in a few years if thats still around, mark my words

[@theravenhere8382]

I love how these videos bring up topics and ideas that everyone forgot about or never would have thought of yet are always interesting and relevant. The only reason I knew mc earth shut down is because I saw the Grimm and mumbo collab and wanted the game just to be disappointed. Keep up the good content👍👍👍

I watched Grian and Mumbos video on Minecraft earth and I thought it sounded cool and went to go download it. Turns out the game got deleted a few days before I tried downloading it so I never got to experience it.
