Introducing mobile-first maps

Where do you play Minecraft? In your home? At a friend’s house? The moon? I love playing on mobile so I can take it with me wherever I am. Bringing it with me allows me to build while I’m on the bus, mine while I’m falling off my couch, and defeat creepers while my editor begs me to proof-read my work. Ha! That’ll be the day, especially now that I my mobile game just got an upgrade with free mobile maps! Honestly the only reason I had time to write about them is because my tablet is charging. 

We asked our good friends at Razzleberries and GameMode One to create maps specifically for the mobile version of Minecraft. The free maps will be available for all Bedrock players, but they have been designed with mobile in mind. Much like my workspace has been designed with me in mind, or at least that’s what I was told when found my desk in the basement. 

The first map is already available for free in Minecraft Marketplace! Minecraft: Emerald Tycoon by Razzleberries gives you the chance to be the mobile tycoon you always knew you could be. Starting off in a plains biome, you’ll find different stations that generate emeralds. As you progress, you’ll be able to upgrade both the function and look of the stations. You can also unlock new biomes as well as challenging themed areas. 

These maps are built to run smoothly on mobile devices with easy-to-use control schemes. Even though they work in all Bedrock games, they are just extra-great on mobile. Just like how a cookie is always delicious, but it goes down even better when you’ve stolen it off your editor’s desk. Minecraft: Emerald Tycoon by Razzleberries will be available for free until August 24, 2022 and the second map will be released in a few weeks, so keep your eye on Minecraft.net and Marketplace!
