Metaverse company MyMetaverse has recently found a way around Minecraft developer Mojang’s recent NFT restriction

Web3 Watch: NFTs Return to Minecraft.

Minecraft developer Mojang recently banned NFT support inside Minecraft client and server applications, but MyMetaverse has found a way around the new restriction.

The metaverse company re-implemented playable NFTs not only on Minecraft game servers but also on modified versions of Grand Theft Auto (GTA).

Using NFTs running on Efinity, a Polkadot parachain developed by gaming platform Enjin, MyMetaverse works with developers who build third-party servers atop Minecraft and GTA 5 core games.

Simon Kertonegoro, CEO of MyMetaverse, told Blockworks it works similar to how WordPress allows people to use their technology to create custom websites. “These servers are self-hosted, modified instances of the game, running independently of Mojang or Rockstar,” Kertonegoro said.

Thus, Mojang and GTA parent company Rockstar have no official affiliation with the NFTs.

“The modified versions allow the game to connect with crypto wallets and recognize NFTs in the game, which the user can then use as in-game items,” he added.
