Today we are releasing the final build of the game, containing some changes to make your time in Minecraft Earth as fun as possible. That said, we still have one update left. However, there is one last update launching today with users being able to play until June 30: As a result, we have made the difficult decision to re-allocate our resources to other areas that provide value to the Minecraft community and to end support for Minecraft Earth in June 2021. Minecraft Earth was designed around free movement and collaborative play – two things that have become near impossible in the current global situation. Minecraft shared the news on its blog today (seems to be pulled for now) that Minecraft Earth will shut down on Jwith the primary reason being COVID-19 and how it has changed life: The idea was really neat, bringing Minecraft’s collaborative, creative play to the real world with AR but the reality of 2020 and the pandemic has forced the end of the game. Minecraft Earth was unveiled back in early 2019 and some of the first gameplay was shown off at WWDC 2019 before launching in November that year.
