What Is the Minecraft Marketplace Pass and Should You Buy It?

Mar. 13, 2024

If you’re playing on the Minecraft Bedrock edition and want some extra content, then Marketplace is what you should check out. It’s a library full of all sorts of different additional content, like skins, worlds,add-ons(mods), texture packs, and more. Today, we will be talking about the Marketplace Pass and whether or not it’s worth it in Minecraft Bedrock. With that said, let’s jump straight in!

What Is the Minecraft Marketplace Pass?

The Marketplace Pass includes the following content:

Marketplace Pass is easily accessible inside the Bedrock edition. Follow the steps below to find and purchase it.

For instance, once the pass expires, you’ll still be able to purchase and download world templates saved to your cloud storagewithin 18 months. However, if the content leaves Marketplace Pass, you’ll need to purchase it separately to continue playing with it.

Now, let’s talk about something everyone is interested in: Should you get the Marketplace Pass? The short and straightforward answer isyes, Marketplace Pass is worth it. Now, let’s see why that’s the thing.

First, Marketplace exists primarily to allow players on consoles to play with non-vanilla Minecraft content, like add-ons, custom worlds, and more. You could get these content features in some other way, but it’s a complex process, and not everyone is willing to waste time with it. So, Marketplace is a safe and malware-free way of accessing new high-quality content.

Marketplace Pass is therefore especiallyworth it for console players, as it offers lots of content additions, which you’d have to pay separately otherwise, you can experience for a whole month for just 4 dollars. What’s not worth it there?

Have you ever browsed through the Marketplace and stumbled upon something that seems cool, but you have no clue if you are going to like it? Well, Marketplace Pass will help you out tremendously in this regard. It’ll allow you toexperience contentand easily figure out what you like and what you don’t like.

There is no more guessing involved, as everything included in the Marketplace Pass is available to you. When you find something you like, you can then purchase it on its own, since it’s not going to be part of the Marketplace Pass forever.

The final reason why I believe Marketplace Pass is worth it is because it’ll probably grow in the near future. This is a great idea and makes sense in many ways. Creators will have more players try out their content, which will result in them probably making even more content.

So, if you think access to over 150 features is great, wait until you see possibly even 300+ different worlds, texture packs, skins, and more available. Not only that but add-ons will probably be part of the Marketplace Pass as well, so that’s even more awesome features for just $3.99. The price may increase slightly later, but it’ll still be more than worth it.

Let’s make it clear upfront – Marketplace Pass is not the same as Realms Plus.

So, for the price of$7.99 per month, you get extra content and a realm, but for $3.99 you get the extra content only. This makes a lot of sense. In case you’re interested in the additional content but don’t care about a realm, then Marketplace Pass is for you.
