“Minecraft Earth was designed around free movement and collaborative play – two things that have become near impossible in the current global situation,“the devs say. “As a result, we have made the difficult decision to re-allocate our resources to other areas that provide value to the Minecraft community and to end support for Minecraft Earth.”

The game received its final update yesterday, removing microtransactions and adding in all the currently finished but unreleased content for players to try out. They’ve also reduced the amount of time it takes to complete tasks like crafting, and reduced the prices of in-game items to make it a little easier to play.
Players who’ve spent real-life money on rubies, the game’s premium currency, will receive Minecoins to spend inthe Minecraft Marketplace(where you can buy player-made skins and adventures). Then, players who’ve spent any money on the app will be given a copy of Minecraft Bedrock edition for their mobile device - which is cool to have because Minecraft has cross-platform progression, so you could take your PC saves with you on the go.
So, as of July 1st you’ll no longer be able to download or play it, and Mojang will be deleting all Minecraft Earth player data. Have a look at theMinecraft Earth Sunset FAQfor more details.
