It also cannot be used to create NFTs tied to any in-game content, including worlds, skins, character items, or other mods,&#8221; the statement said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They also pledged to monitor the technology&#8217;s development, noting that over time it might enable the above principles.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;However, for now we have no plans to implement blockchain in Minecraft,&#8221; they concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier in January 2022, the French game giant Ubisoft <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/ubisoft-executive-comments-on-negative-player-reaction-to-nft-integration\">faced backlash from users<\/a> over the attempt <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/ubisoft-unveils-platform-for-trading-in-game-items-as-nfts\">to launch the NFT platform Quartz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The leadership of the Japanese studio PlatinumGames <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/platinumgames-sees-no-benefit-in-nfts-for-gamers-or-developers\">spoke out against<\/a> the encroachment of digital property into the industry.
