'Minecraft' Update To Add In-Game Currency, Store For Content From Third-Party Developers

The popular multiplayer online title Minecraft will launch its own in-game currency and a marketplace that'll be open to third-party developers, according to Bloomberg. The updates, which debut this spring, will include nine content packs at launch. As Bloomberg notes, the packs feature content like new levels and activities and will be priced at around $1 to $10. Notably, the marketplace will also prominently feature content from outside developers. At launch, the marketplace will host content from several existing Minecraft partners and later, other third-party developers and independent creators can apply to join the marketplace.
