Have you ever wondered how you can upload your own map or skin pack onto the Minecraft Marketplace? This article will guide into becoming a Minecraft Marketplace creator. As an official Minecraft Marketplace partner, you can share and sell your creations to millions of other Minecraft players all around the world. Not everyone can become a partner for the Minecraft Marketplace, but if you are patient and dedicated, you will become an official partner in no time.
1. You Must Be a Registered Business
To build a formal partnership with Microsoft (and Mojang), future partners must be a registered company. When registering as a Minecraft Marketplace partner, don't forget to include information about your firm and taxation, since this is essential.
2. You Must Have Experience
Future partners of the Minecraft Marketplace must be able to show samples of their high-quality work for the Minecraft community in the past. This can range from worlds/maps, add-ons, realms, skins, and servers. Having a portfolio of the things you’ve created for the Minecraft community is also a must, so always have it ready.
3. You Must Be Passionate
The last step is the easiest to complete, but the hardest one to prove. Future partners must show their creative ideas for the Minecraft community that they are passionate about. Before being published in the marketplace, each offer is evaluated for quality and security.
Once you’ve completed all of the requirements above, you can become the next Minecraft Marketplace Partner! Keep in mind that this process will not be instant, as the Marketplace team will take time to review and give verdict to your application. No status updates about the application will be given after they are submitted. The team is sure that if you are a good fit for the partner program, the marketplace team will reach out.
What can you publish on the Minecraft Marketplace?
You can publish any content you like on the marketplace, as long as you comply with their guidelines. The contents can be maps, skin packs or a mix of both. The most common maps published on the marketplace are adventure and minigame maps. However, you can publish any kind of maps you want. Make sure that it’s enticing enough so other players would want to buy it. As for skin packs, make sure that they are appropriate and family-friendly. The marketplace team can reject your content if they deem it unsuitable for kids.
