Big things are coming to the Minecraft Earth closed beta!

We’re rolling out the red carpet for new developments on the Minecraft Earth closed beta! First of all, a big earthy welcome to our Android players, who can join in on the fun as we roll out this next phase of the closed beta. This rollout will be occurring throughout the week – so keep checking back to see if Minecraft Earth has reached your city/village/cave!

We are adding a new feature as well: rubies. Rubies are a form of in-game currency that everyone can earn by playing the game that allows you to buy buildplates during the closed beta. Android users will be able to purchase rubies during the closed beta, but don’t worry iOS users – we have plans to roll this feature out to you very soon! Rubies, whether you buy or earn them, are linked to your Xbox Live account and will stay with you through Early Access and beyond!

Most of the same rules apply from our previous post regarding the iOS closed beta. You’ll need to sign in once every seven days to keep your account active and you will need to sign up for an invite. If you still find yourself with unanswered questions, check out the Minecraft Earth FAQ. If that doesn’t scratch your question-lovin’ itch, check out our dazzling Discord community. We’re excited for this next phase of the Minecraft Earth closed beta and can’t wait to see what you create!
