The developers of Minecraft have announced the launch of a closed beta for their new game, Minecraft Earth! This exciting news is available to users with devices running on Android. Access to the beta version will not be granted to everyone at once; it will be rolled out gradually across specific regions. The rollout began on August 26, and by now, it’s likely that Minecraft Earth has reached many cities. To ensure you don’t miss the chance to try out this new game, make sure to check regularly for download availability.
Another piece of good news is the introduction of a new in-game currency. In the closed version, there are builds that can only be purchased with a specific type of currency—rubies. You accumulate these by regularly logging in and playing Minecraft Earth. Currently, rubies are available exclusively on Android devices. However, to ensure no one feels left out, this currency will also be introduced on iOS soon. Rubies, whether you buy them or earn them, are linked to your Xbox Live account, meaning that even after leaving the beta version, any rubies you have will remain in your gaming account for use in the full version of Minecraft Earth.
The requirements for participants in the closed beta remain unchanged. There is a huge number of people eager to become testers, and every spot is crucial. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones selected for this project but do not log into the game for seven days, your spot will be taken by someone else.
