Developer 4J Studios wants to know what content "Minecraft" fans would like to see become the next DLC for the popular sandbox creation game.
After porting Minecraft to the Xbox and PlayStation, 4J Studios is now seeking player feedback in a bid to find out what content fans would like to see become the next DLC for the hit sandbox independent video game.
The developer's official Twitter account, has asked "Minecraft" community which Sony-owned franchise should be given due consideration to be represented in upcoming downloadable add-ons for Minecraft.
"What Sony games would you like to see as Minecraft Mash-up Packs?" 4J Studios tweeted.
This is quite an interesting move on part of the studio, especially considering that Microsoft purchased "Minecraft" creator, Mojang earlier this year. This is clear indication that the tech giant genuinely meant that they intend to continue supporting the popular sandbox creation game across all platforms, though they could have easily decided to turn the hit franchise into an Xbox console exclusive, Inquisitr noted.
The PlayStation edition of "Minecraft" has already seen quite a few skin packed inspired by Sony games including "The Last of Us," there has never been a full mash-up pack available exclusively on PS3 and PS4.
"Minecraft's" popular skin packs enables console users to change the in-game appearance of their Minecraft avatar, mash-up packs on the other hand completely change almost every aspect of the game.
Besides including character skins, mash-up packs also completely change world textures to create an entirely new "Minecraft" experience, these all-inclusive DLC packs also change the music of user interface of the game to closely resemble the licensed property that the add-on is based on.
While 4J Studios looks for fan input, Mojang is busy working on an upcoming Minecraft update that will completely redesign the combat mechanics of the game.
Earlier this week, Mojang's Searge tweeted a screenshot that showed off the new equipment system that the developer is currently working on.
In related news, "Minecraft" introduced bitcoin to its world as a way of teaching kids about digital currency.
According to reports from CoinDesk, though in-game currencies exist in several different Minecraft worlds, using bitcoin implies that players can take their money out of the game and use it in the real world too.
The server, PlayMC, features as in-game currency dubbed "bits" which the company has set at 100,000,000th of a bitcoin (generally known as "satoshi"). The unit was chosen because it's easy to use and also represents a whole unit and allows players to be rewarded seemingly on a larger scale.
