A drive to create

Our most successful partners are the ones who are constantly thinking of new ways to spark players’ imaginations. You should be excited about coming up with new ideas, evolving your offerings, and testing out new concepts in your builds!

A Business Mindset

To be a successful Minecraft creator, your skill set needs to extend beyond crafting imaginative content. As an official partner, you’ll be expected to operate like a business and submit key art, screenshots, trailers, and descriptions of your work. These are needed for your application, too!

MILLIONS OF PLAYERS, DOZENS OF DEVICES—ONE MINECRAFT MARKETPLACE

Once you become an official partner, your approved content will appear in the Minecraft Marketplace: an in-game store which makes it easy for players to download and install new worlds, textures, skins, and more without ever leaving the game. That means players with access to Minecraft Marketplace⁺ will be able to see and buy your work!

Every new submission is reviewed for quality and suitability before it is made available to players.

Learn about our partners

Noxcrew

We have been making high-quality Minecraft experiences since 2011. Most notably, our large-scale story-driven map called ‘Terra Swoop Force’ led directly to a partnership with Mojang to create maps for the Marketplace. Nowadays, Noxcrew produces high-quality Marketplace experiences and runs MC Championship!

CrackedCubes

We had roughly 100 projects when we applied for the Partner Program in early 2020. Now our portfolio has grown to over 800 individual projects, and we have at least two team members on every single continent of the world!

AriaCreations

We had a portfolio of 85+ projects, big and small, when we applied in 2019. We try to focus on the in-game player experience, but we also keep an eye on the beauty of Minecraft, showing it off with renders and overview shots/animations. Being an official partner is all about dedication, creativity, and passion.
