    Our Marketplace Picks: September 2019

    Our three favourite Marketplace highlights for the previous month!

    239! Not only are they the three digits I use as most of my passwords – it’s also the number of maps, skins, and worlds that we released to the Minecraft Marketplace in September. Wait, why am I telling you my passwords again? Please forget that you ever read this!

    Navigating through this sea of neverending content can be quite a challenge for someone like myself and my terrible taste. This is why we have Mojang’s very own superheroes – the content team – always ready to offer guidance to any player willing to learn more about the maps, skins, worlds (and more!) available in the Minecraft Marketplace. The content team just loves to provide us with recommendations, and who are we to resist them? Take it away, Sara and Oskar!

    Farmcraft

    by Razzleberries

    Running your own farm is tough! Not only does it require both patience and skill to tend to your farm – you also need a fundamental understanding of the business! In Razzleberries’ Farmcraft, you train these qualities and abilities, as you take control of your own farm to sow, grow, harvest and organize custom crops to make money! And who doesn’t love money? But you don’t need to hear this from me, what does a man of the city like Oskar think about Farmville?

    Agriculture. What nobler pursuit is there for a humble, down-to-earth Minecrafter? But what if you don't like getting your hands dirty? Me, a city boy whose delicate hands twitch in horror at the thought of manual labor, would much prefer to just plant and harvest with one click, and keep my collection of diamond hoes in mint condition. Having a travelling merchant visit the farm every day via plane with exclusive deals also means I don't need to get off my lazy butt too much to trade. Hey Per, maybe this could be an idea for a new Minecraft feature?

    Oskar

    I’m sure it could Oskar, but since I’m a creative writer, and not a gameplay developer, I suggest you bring it up with anyone but me! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m busy drooling over all the crops at Farmcraft’s Marketplace page (‘Per, that’s really grim and breaking several food safety standards’ – concerned members of the minecraft.net editorial team).

    Caverns of Chaos

    by 4J Studios

    Don’t you just hate it when you end up building your village on top of an ancient fortress, full of corrupted monsters, puzzling mysteries, and plotting pillagers lurking within its cavernous dungeons? Happens all the time! It doesn’t make it any less of a problem though, which is obvious in 4J Studios’ “Caverns of Chaos”. Here, you have to fight your way through five sprawling dungeon floors and three challenging bosses, all to save the village from certain destruction, and free the ten poor villagers trapped within the underground fortress. So what did Sara think of this adventure beneath the ground?

    Caverns of Chaos is a solid game that focuses on giving the player a classic dungeon crawler experience, while at the same time saving a village. Starting off in the village that was being affected by the mysteries going on deep down below, gave me enough time to gather my equipment, resources, and courage. Each dungeon presented me with plenty of exploration, and new areas were discovered by unlocking passages and connecting bridges. I enjoyed the puzzle-aspect each dungeon provided as they found clever ways of incorporating Minecraft elements from the base game. Finding towers with bells to ring, altars to set on fire, wither skeleton skulls to collect and place in a shrine… and much more. Side quests such as finding the caged villagers that had been kidnapped - they reminded me of my mission and purpose of going down into these dungeons, and gave me that extra push to fight for the people!

    What are you waiting for? Make like Sara and go save those villagers! Check out Caverns of Chaos on their Marketplace page.

    Scary Clowns

    by Lifeboat

    Normal clowns are scary. Intentionally scary clowns then? Absolutely terrifying! Why the content team would recommend Lifeboat’s IT-inspired horror adventure “Scary Clowns” is beyond me. But it must be worth the pathetic screams from me if it’s good enough to earn a spot on this list! In “Scary Clowns”, scary clowns (surprise!) have taken your friend Jimmy, and the only way to get him back is to follow the trail of candy into a vast sewer system beneath the city. There, you have to search far and wide, and battle clowns, rats, crocodiles, and other strange things in order to survive. Sara was bold enough to play through the adventure.

    If clowns don’t frighten your pants off, then this spooky but sweet story-driven game is perfect for you! I personally enjoy being creeped out, so diving into the sewers to look for my friend who had been kidnapped by those pesky clowns was a mission I gladly accepted. It became interesting to find out I was not the only one down in the sewers; seems like you can make friends in all kinds of places! I highly enjoyed practising my unicycle skills, which will most definitely be useful in the real world. I loved all of the eerie clown laughs echoing in the corridors, and details such as hands reaching out towards me from pipes on the walls as I passed them. I’m not a big fan of popping balloons, but when it comes to saving my mates, I’ll use that sling-shot and face my fears!

    Halloween is almost upon us, so what better way to celebrate it with some hair-raising exploration? Learn about “Scary Clowns” on its Marketplace page – if you’re brave enough!

    Not convinced that these maps are meant for you? That’s alright! The Minecraft Marketplace is full of maps, worlds, and skins just waiting to be discovered. Have a browse to find YOUR favourite!
