Marketplace is new to Pocket and Windows 10 - for the first time it offers a way to browse, buy, download and play community content from within the game itself.

For Alex Bellavita, there wasn’t a choice about what Blockception had to make for the launch of Marketplace. “It had to be an adventure map,” he says. By the sounds of it, it’s been a long time obsession - the desire to transform Minecraft and to transport players from their desk-chairs or couches and into another world of rich, involving stories.
“I’ve always tried to make the game more interactive,” says Alex. “I don’t want anyone to think that they are still in Minecraft, I want them to be completely immersed, in the same way you are when you read a book or watch a movie – like a seamless experience.”
For Alex and the handful of collaborators that make up the Blockception build team, this resulted in ANNIE: The Rise of Londinium, a complex adventure map which whisks players through multiple time periods, by way of a holographic simulation.
