    Our Marketplace Picks: February 2020

    Three fantastic highlights from the previous month!

    A Wednesday blog post, full of glorious and blocky content? It can only mean one thing. You guessed it – it’s Snapshot Wed- wait... that’s not right. Let me try this again... 

    You guessed it, it’s Our Marketplace picks – that time of the month when we list a trio of incredible items, based on the maps, skins, and worlds that were released on the Minecraft Marketplace last month. In February alone, we saw 246 new items added to the Marketplace. Selecting three favorites from this myriad of content might sound like a challenge, but nothing is impossible for our two content team members: Sara and Oskar. Together they’re ready to once again deliver you the crème de la crème of Minecraft entertainment. Let’s see what they picked this month!

    Car Builder

    by 57Digital

    You want to know why I, Per “Car Enthusiast” Landin, don’t have a driver’s licence? I failed my test! Since that fateful day back in 2007, I’ve dreamed of cruising the roads, blasting Calm 3 on my speakers while driving into the setting sun. Alas, it has been but a dream… until now.

    57Digital has made my dream come true! In Car Builder, you design your very own vehicle using classic Minecraft blocks. Once you’re done, you can turn it into a real living car. No, not like Lightning McQueen or Herbie – a drivable car! Oskar, this is too good to be true, perhaps you can elaborate?

    Car Builder exercises truth in its advertisement. You get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to design a car. With this, I'd think anyone would do the same thing as Homer Simpson once did in season 2, episode 15 of the Simpsons. Raise your head in awe and gaze upon my take on "The Homer" here below!

    Oskar

    Yes, that hopper behind the glass blocks is a cupholder. Does the horn play "La Cucaracha"? Short answer: yes (if I press play on the mp3 file at the same time I simulate slamming a horn in-game). My apologies if you feel discouraged after seeing my magnificent construction, remember that aiming for second best is a noble and humble pursuit!

    Oskar

    On the contrary Oskar – I feel inspired. Learn more about Car Builder on its Minecraft Marketplace page.

    Present Factory Deluxe

    by QwertyuiopThePie

    Everyone loves a good conveyor belt. Don’t deny it! I’ve seen how you behave around airports, in factories, and those sushi restaurants. No, I’m not following you, I just happen to be somewhat of a conveyor belt connoisseur (is that a word?) myself.

    In Present Factory Deluxe, QwertyuiopThePie uses this machine in a clever way by turning it into a nifty puzzle game mechanic. You assume the role as present organizer, tasked to save your company by operating a set of complex conveyors systems. This is done through over 40 unique puzzles, centered around adding, subtracting, rearranging, and filtering presents with 18 unique conveyor blocks. Sounds like quite the challenge, but don’t feel intimidated – let Sara change your mind.

    I really enjoyed this map as it was very stimulating to solve puzzles that got increasingly more challenging. This map gets really difficult, which is great! I'm not going to lie – I had to use hints. It's clever, well presented, and clear in its instructions. I appreciated that blocks and different types of problems got introduced in steps, and that unlocking new levels meant being able to either try something new or mastering one area of problem-solving.

    Animal Ville

    by Cyclone Designs

    There should be a law against making things too cute. If that were to be implemented, Cyclone Designs would soon be behind bars for their vile crime of creating such an adorable adventure like Animal Ville. My cheeks still hurt from all the “aaaws” and “naaws” I’ve been dropping, and I should be compensated for it!

    This adventure is all about finding your creative spark in a town full of cute animal NPCs and tiny pet companions. Besides a colorful resource pack, Animal Ville also comes with a set of stylized vehicles, building scenarios, and adorable baby pets. What do you think, Sara?

    This map is not just beautiful – it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love that Cyclone Designs are giving players this stunning world with custom textures in creative mode, while also providing quests to get them started if they need inspiration. That is a great way of presenting a sandbox experience – a little bit of guidance through story and objectives without limiting creativity.

    SARA

    Sounds like a perfect fit for roleplay experience! Find out more about Animal Ville at their Marketplace page.
