[[File:Marketplace.png|thumb|400px|right|The ''Minecraft'' Marketplace menu {{in|Bedrock}}.]]
The '''Marketplace''' (known as the '''Store''' on PlayStation) is an in-game platform where [[Minecraft:player]]s can purchase access to content<ref>[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/marketplace Minecraft Marketplace]</ref> created by both ''Minecraft'' and members of the [[Minecraft:Minecraft Partner Program]].

== Usage ==
The Marketplace is opened from the [[Minecraft:Title Screen|title screen]], [[Minecraft:Game Menu|game menu]] (''Browse Add-ons!''), or [[Minecraft:dressing room]], the former showing an animated button promoting new DLC and sometimes a tag. Throughout the menus are other buttons redirecting to the Marketplace, such as in resource pack or world template selection menus. Furthermore, Marketplace content is often promoted with pop-ups or [[Minecraft:inbox]] messages.

It is only available with a stable Internet connection and a Microsoft account, and not in the [[Minecraft:trial]] version. The Marketplace is also available from [https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/marketplace minecraft.net], where packs can be browsed similar to the in-game menu, purchased once signed in, and even the game can be launched opening the selected pack's page in the Marketplace.
[[File:AMCM DLC Purchase Screen.png|thumb|The purchase screen of a Marketplace pack.]]
The menu promotes various types of content organized into sections. With the Search tool, the player can filter for name, pack type, price, ratings, tags, individual creators, or Marketplace Pass availability. Every pack has a purchase page with more information, tags, images and videos, and purchase or download options. Packs can be added to the Wishlist using the heart icon, and the link to the pack on minecraft.net can be shared.

Once obtained, packs can be downloaded to the device at any time. Depending on the type of pack, it can then be activated or played. The bottom of the purchase page allows to rate owned packs stars, which will be shown by the pack. Downloaded packs are automatically updated while in the menus; this can be toggled in the [[Minecraft:settings]].

=== Minecoins ===
Most content in the Marketplace costs money, and is purchased using [[Minecraft:Minecoins]], although some content is free. Minecoins are obtained in the Marketplace with real money in selected packs, or along with promoted content in [[Minecraft:content bundles]]. They are saved to a player's Xbox account; on PlayStation they are called tokens and sold separately.

All purchased content instantly syncs to the player's Microsoft account unless not signed into the Microsoft or console account on consoles, in which case it is saved locally to the player's device.

=== Subscriptions ===
[[File:Minecraft Marketplace Pass artwork.jpg|thumb|Marketplace Pass artwork]] [[Minecraft:Marketplace Pass]] is a monthly subscription that allows any subscribers to get access to a variety of Marketplace content that changes monthly as long as they pay a monthly fee. Included content can be activated directly from its own tab in screens with Marketplace content, such as the Create from Template screen. The Marketplace Pass is included in [[Minecraft:Realms Plus]] subscriptions.

== Content ==
There are 5 different categories of content available on the Marketplace, including [[Minecraft:skin pack]]s, worlds, [[Minecraft:add-on]]s, [[Minecraft:Texture pack (downloadable content)|texture pack]]s, and [[Minecraft:mash-up pack]]s. All content is submitted by official ''[[Minecraft:Minecraft]]'' partners and is approved by the ''Minecraft'' Content Team. The [[Minecraft:Minecraft Wiki (website)|Minecraft Wiki]] only documents officially promoted DLC, third-party content usually has its own documentation.

=== Skin packs ===
{{Main|Skin pack}}
Skin packs are collections of custom [[Minecraft:skins]] that players can use in both singleplayer and multiplayer games. Depending on the specific content, some skin packs provide 1 or 2 free skins to use without needing to purchase.

Skin packs can be seen in the [[Minecraft:Dressing Room]], allowing to enable included skins.

=== Worlds ===
[[File:Ore UI - Play Screen "Worlds" Tab - Create From Template Button Screen Menu (Bedrock).png|501x501px|thumb|The [[Tutorial:Menu screen/Bedrock Edition#Create from template|Create from Template]] screen, accessible from the [[Minecraft:Play]] screen.]]
Worlds are pre-built [[Minecraft:World|maps]] that offer wide variety of in-game experiences. Not to be confused with mash-up packs, worlds can also include custom textures, blocks, items and mobs and be bundled with bonus skins.

Worlds in the Marketplace are distributed as [[Minecraft:World template|world templates]]; they can be downloaded in the Create from Template screen allowing to [[Minecraft:Create New World|create a world]] using the template.

==== Dynamic worlds ====

Dynamic worlds don't have a set build like normal pre-built ones, instead they can be generated like a ''Minecraft'' world. These worlds allow for a whole new experience every time because they generate differently depending on the seed. Sometimes they also include add-ons and texture packs as well.

==== Adventure maps ====
Adventure maps are self-contained experiences that focus on exploring and other types of guided gameplay. These types of worlds can range from PvP arenas to simulators and can be designed for singleplayer, multiplayer or both.

==== Minigames ====
Minigames are compact worlds with a specific theme or goal that are designed to be repeatable. These can feature a set of different gamemodes and variants or be designed to reset continuously.

==== Survival spawns ====
Survival spawns are starter maps that players can explore, gain loot from and expand. Maps of this type can sometimes add an entirely new aspect to the game but still allows players to experience the world as they normally would in survival mode.

=== Texture packs ===
{{Main|Texture pack (downloadable content)}}
Texture packs, built from [[Minecraft:resource packs]], allow players to change the visual appearance of worlds. These packs can also customize other in-game elements such as sounds, items, the GUI, the geometry/shape of mobs, animations, and [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]]. Texture packs are only able to alter existing features in ''Minecraft'' and cannot add new mobs, blocks or items.

Texture packs can be enabled from the [[Minecraft:Settings#Global Resources|Global Resources]] settings tab in the main menu. Unless a world or server disables global resources, they can always be enabled locally on the player's device.

=== Mash-up packs ===
{{Main|Mash-up pack}}
Mash-up packs are special bundles that combine a world, texture pack and skins. Unlike worlds, texture packs included in mash-up packs can be used across other singleplayer worlds and even servers.

=== Add-ons ===
{{Main|Add-on}}
Add-ons are resource and [[Minecraft:behavior packs]] that can fully customize the game by adding new items, blocks, mobs, and more. Add-ons can be added to any world. They can be played and accessed on both singleplayer and multiplayer.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list|projects=MCPE}}

== Trivia ==
* Before the ''[[Minecraft:Minecraft]]'' Marketplace was introduced, real money was used to buy the in-game [[Minecraft:mash-up pack]], [[Minecraft:Texture pack DLC|texture pack]]s and [[Minecraft:skin pack]]s. When [[Minecraft:Mojang Studios]] did it this way, all of the content had to pass certification on every single platform. The Marketplace and Minecoins were introduced to avoid this.
** Players can still buy them using real money directly by purchasing the corresponding amount of Minecoins on the pack purchase page.
** Any packs that were bought before the Marketplace was introduced are marked as "Owned (P)" instead of "Owned".
*** Packs that are marked as "Owned (P)" do not sync across devices.
* Skins, add-ons and worlds downloaded from the Marketplace are not stored in the {{cd|skin_packs}}, {{cd|behavior_packs}}, {{cd|resource_packs}}, or {{cd|world_templates}} folders in [[Minecraft:com.mojang]]. They are instead stored in the {{cd|premium_cache}} folder and are encrypted.
* The map ''Beyond: Platformer'' claims to have been awarded a "Diamond Pick" award, citing "innovation and fun!" No other recipients of this award are known to exist.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/marketplace/pdp?id=f1ecf12b-1b6f-4794-a8de-24dfb82e6f25|title=Beyond: Platformer|author=StarkTMA|website=Minecraft Marketplace|date=April 28, 2023}}</ref>
