I said "Minecraft is coming out with AR mobile game". Now Microsoft announced that it plans to launch the latest mobile version of Minecraft Earth, the popular sandbox game Minecraft, on the mobile platform, and will begin CBT deletion testing in the U.S. in the summer of 2019.
We can see that "Minecraft: Earth" is a game that combines GPS position and AR technology. The basic principle is similar to "Pokemon GO". Based on real-world map data and transforming the map data onto the whole earth into the visual art of "Minecraft", players will take risks of such a world.
In terms of resource collection, players only need to go to the location of the resource displayed on the screen and click on the resources on the screen to collect the material. At the same time, in the AR mode, in addition to providing a realistic real-world landscape presentation, there will also be objects and Mobs that are familiar to the pixels of Minecraft players. Players can use this to collect resources and breed animals., appreciate the different world scenery ! In the game world, in addition to the animal Mob that is familiar to players such as pigs, cats, and dogs, there will be a variety of new animal types that have never appeared before in the game!
In terms of construction, in the game, although players can't freely build various buildings on the world map, the game will prepare corresponding "Buildplates" (that is, the design board of the stereoscopic model) to let the players design and build. And these "Buildplates" will also become permanent areas exclusive to players and friends, and the maximum number of people currently allowed are still being tested.
In addition, the game can now support players and partners to move around the town to explore the collection of resources or Mob animals, and then expand the "Buildplates" on one of their own sites, which means that the Minecraft Earth game allows four people to work together to use pixels Blocks to build a common mansion, and the world built by "Buildplates" can also be launched in the real world through AR mode! Very cool!
