Minecraft players will soon enjoy a character editor

Still surrounded by the trifle of one hundred and twelve million monthly active players according to the latest official news, Mojang’s cubic titan remains at the top of the food chain after eight years of existence. The teams of the Swedish studio continue to develop the famous sandbox game and their latest discovery is: to implement an avatar creator.

In truth, it is by tweaking the system of personalization of the social experience Minecraft Earth – in closed beta on mobile – that the developers ended up adapting it to the classic version of the title, as revealed on the dedicated blog. Traditionally tree boxers could afford full-themed outfits, or design their skin by choosing the path of difficulty on the computer; they will soon have the opportunity to agree on their unique look in a few clicks.

The Trombone Parameter is available in beta test on Windows 10, Xbox One and Android, and will join all Bedrock versions of Minecraft as soon as it is stable. Obviously rather complete, it pushes the configuration quite far: body mass, skin color, shape and color of the eyes, hairstyle, and beard, these are some examples of settings put forward. The explorers will be able to display a selection of accessories, to obtain for free but also to acquire in a shop for a few brouzoufs. Mojang specifies that the arrival of this editor does not mean the end of paying costumes and those imported into Java.

Presented in May and offered to a selection of players this summer, Minecraft Earth is preparing for the next level in its ambition to conquer the world. Its thinking heads have indeed announced a wide opening of its square doors for this fall, on the occasion of the Minecon Live 2021 gathering.

So far, only handpicked nomadic adventurers have been able to bring their block to the building in a few large cities: London, Seattle, Tokyo, Stockholm and Mexico City. It will be different from next month, with the passage of the sandbox game in early access version ; Anyone can then create their character for free and go on an adventure in their neighborhood, to find a nice creative surface and build their little pixelated universe in augmented reality. Note, however, that the process of opening the servers will be carried out gradually until the end of the year, and that your city will therefore not necessarily be affected in the weeks to come.
