When I click on an adventure on a map and I start digging down there seems to be a lot below the surface, but I can't seem to make my character go down. One time I ran down some stairs and that seemed to work, but that's rarely possible.

Hey guys,

I've been beta testing Minecraft earth for just over 2 weeks now. I love the aesthetic, and the core gameplay will be pretty fun for kids, but I feel it leaves something to be desired.

Hear me out - I know they plan to release a lot more content updates - but right now the current version of the game just isn't what is advertised.

You can touch various pop ups around you as per the AR standard. I've found myself to only be collecting the same pot of blocks every time. "Flower simulator" as my partner put it.

You have levels, but they present no reward beyond having more build plates -- which are just glorified save spots -- you get a free mob with them, but by level 5, you'll already have at least 5 of each.

You get a free steve/alex with the level 5 plate but I have no idea what they can do as of yet.

The build plate placing is finnicky at best, it always has to be well lit as there is no AR switch like similar titles POGO and Wizard's Unite. I find myself constantly having to reorientate the plate after going into inventory, just rudimentary things that should work.

Content updates are sparse, seem to be bi-weekly atm. Bug fix patch mixed with a simple content addition. First update added different types of tree pop-up (birch/oak etc), while second added a filter/sorter for your materials.

Whilst these quality of life updates are fine, I can't help but feel priority should be placed elsewhere. Such as finishing the bulk of the game's core.

Crafting and Smelting is a confirmed feature, so using your materials, I assume you'll be able to craft most items from base game to use in your plates. I assume they're just holding this back - it's not like they have to come up with the recipes etc.

Challenges are set to be added, which would be great, if there were anything to set as a challenge other than "gather resources".

I feel like the unique mobs are one of the only current redeeming factors. The cluckshroom and muddy pig are a nice change, but don't make up for the lack or articulation.

One thing I know the devs should learn from other AR games is that they really need to launch with raids/bosses/instances. Ive not seen a single point of interest so far in testing, and don't see why they would want to hold back such a key feature. Otherwise there just won't be enough content to sustain or engage anyone.

Final note: the key selling point of the app - placing down your map in real life scale. Pretty much any show-off or YouTube spotlight so far has displayed the feature to become the player in your plate, yet this feature is literally no where to be seen in the beta.

All slightly worrying since they just announced worldwide beta. I'm afraid theres very little to test right now, so hopefully they have their gears in check.

Rumors say there are already people from 5 different city's that have the betaversion of Minecraft Earth and mojang is already getting feedback to make the game better.

Started a day or so ago and was wondering how do I go to a lower elevation in adventures? I've broken the ground and still float above the "pit" I've created. Im hoping it wont involve physically moving as I am currently unable to phase through the ground outdoors irl.

I was really excited to find crafting and smelting implemented in the latest update, but way less excited to discover it uses a really overused F2P mechanic...

Also pretty depressed to find that I can't craft anything yet with the 127489125 flowers I've collected so far.

I hope they come up with a better design than a loonnnng timer that can be skipped by spending gems. I had (and still have) higher expectations for the game's designers.

When I first saw the ad for this game, I was expecting it to be like the entire world was one Minecraft server where everyone could play in and people could release their builds for everyone could see. According to this ad, I thought the game would use AR to make your phone kind of like a window into this Minecraft server. 

But, when I downloaded the game, I realized that the game was more like Pokemon Go, which was upsetting. I also realized that there was no way for anyone to see your builds unless you invited them, which ruined the idea of turning the real world into a server for everyone. 

Another problem that I found, was that almost no one else was playing this game. There was no Minecraft Earth community, no websites about it, the YouTube videos for it were only the ones talking about when it was going to be released, and there was just no one else talking about it. The only thing I found was this subreddit, which only has 300 members. Even if Mojang adds more multiplayer aspects to this game, it will already be too late, as there will be almost no one to play the game.

I would not recommend this game to anyone looking to play with other people, and you’re better off buying one of those Minecraft Earth clones, which have more multiplayer aspects. I do not believe there can be anything done to fix this problem, as no one is playing this game anymore.

I've seen articles stating this before, that our builds will be able to be seen by other players as they move around the map. Has this been confirmed? A future content update? I did see in the faq that there is a route for reporting inappropriate content which seems to suggest that public visibility is the eventual goal. Also not sure if I'm just missing the way to anchor my plate in the over world.

The quest title says to place 10 'Oak stairs' and 5 'Wooden fence' on a build plate. I've tried both build mode and play mode but the quest doesn't complete.

I did notice that the items you need to use actually have a slightly different name and suspect the quest is bugged. The stairs are called 'Oak Wood Stairs' and the fence is called 'Oak Fence'.

Anyone else have this issue?

If I don’t have good WiFi, my battery drains from 40% battery saving mode, to 0 before I can play!

How do you get coal

has anyone found iron yet?

Yet unavailable in the app store. What's going on with this?

Update* turns out you have to be on Android 7.0 or higher. Could be my/our problem.

On Minecon Live Mojang announced that the early access of Minecraft Earth is going to be released in October for most countries.

Can we reset build plates cause i broke mine and don't know how to fix it?

• Minecraft Earth wil be an Augmented reality game of Minecraft.

• You will be able to collect resources by mining tappables, doing mini-adventures together with other people or fighting mobs.

• You will be able to build with your friends (or alone) in Augmented reality on so called building plates with the resources you gathered.

• The building plates will be playable as in normal minecraft in play-mode.

• There will be a hunger and health bar.

• Farming and Redstone will be possible.

Like in normal Minecraft, you will be able to craft in Minecraft Earth but it won't be with the 3 by 3 grid and the recipes will be a little bit different. But which recipes there will be are not known yet.

In Minecraft Earth you will be able to build redstone contraptions. The redstone mechanics will be the same as the redstone mechanics in Minecraft Bedrock edition.

In Minecraft Earth you can build on your own building plate and when you start a building plate in for example the park you can work further on it at home. It is an mini AR-world where only you and other people who have permission, can build and break blocks everyone can see. You will also be able to play on other builds in play-mode if you are close enough to the build. This means you can break and build whatever you want on someone else's build, but will be resetted when you go out of that mode.
