Minecraft Earth was an augmented reality mobile game developed by Mojang Studios, released in 2019. It allowed players to explore the real world while building and interacting with Minecraft structures and characters. Players could gather resources, craft items, and collaborate with others to create larger projects. The game featured a unique mechanic where players could place their creations in the real world using their mobile devices. However, despite its innovative concept, Minecraft Earth was officially discontinued in June 2021 due to challenges in maintaining player engagement and the impact of the global pandemic.
