What are NFT Worlds?
NFT Worlds is a fully decentralized massively multiplayer (MMO) metaverse game (platform). It is based on Minecraft and consists of 10k unique 3D pixel worlds, all procedurally generated with different properties.
By owning an NFT world (world), the holder owns the rights of the world in the NFT world ecosystem, the ability to build and everything in the world, the experience in the game, and so on. The world can be transformed into anything, such as making a racing game, a fighting game, a role-playing game, or a mixture of two or three genres, or a map for other people to play, experience and other. All of this takes place in a massively multiplayer environment.
On the one hand, using Minecraft as an infrastructure allows players to:
Get started quickly, "Minecraft" is an open world sandbox game that has been popular all over the world, with billions of players and communities;
Access NFT Worlds through multiple platforms (PC, X Box, Nintendo Switch, PS, etc.);
There are many open source MODs, plug-ins, and tools that can be used out of the box;
Create your own land (Metaverse) at will, and be able to connect with smart contracts and applications in real time.
Save the time, material resources, financial resources and manpower for building a new Metaverse platform;
Quickly deploy MMO game experience, and route world access to decentralized hosting addresses through a decentralized world name query server;
Spontaneously appeal to "Metaverse Architects," veteran Minecraft players. Because they are completely familiar with the game and know exactly how to do it.
On the other hand, the complete infrastructure of "Minecraft" also enables NFT Worlds to:

Game ecology
The NFT world of NFT Worlds is based on the Ethereum chain. In order to have no gas fee, its token $WRLD is not only deployed on Ethereum, but also deployed on Polygon.
At present, NFT Worlds has launched 5 officially certified worlds for players to enter and play. These worlds are:
NFT Worlds SMP #6233
The "Minecraft" test server officially built by NFT Worlds is used to test server development, bottlenecks and updates;
The Mothership #9856
Gray Boys Mothership (Gray Boys is a project launched by the two founders of NFT WorldsDAO）；
Dino World #3523
The dinosaur world created by the NFT project Bad Baby Dino;
SkuxxVerse #3049
PvP multiplayer game developed by SkuxxVerse (metaverse built on NFT Worlds, 7777 tokens released as a pass to enter the world have been sold out);
MUSE Oraia #9452

underlying mechanism
The way for NFT Worlds to connect user wallets, NFT Worlds and Minecraft is very simple. After the holder of the NFT world uses the World Manager to connect the wallet address on the official website, he needs to copy and paste the series of serial numbers generated by the NFT Worlds he purchased into his own piece of land in the user's "Minecraft" account. to complete the connection. When the NFT holder sells his land, a new serial number will also be generated. The original connection is severed, and the new holder can reconnect the three.
According to the official Discord channel of NFT Worlds, pure players who do not hold NFT currently need to copy and paste the server address of the world into "Minecraft" to play on other people's land. When connecting to the server in the world, the player's Polygon wallet address will be connected. Earn NFT Worlds’ native $WRLD token by accumulating hours played.
However, after actual experience, it is found that in the 5 worlds currently launched, there is no function of connecting wallet addresses. Ordinary tourists only need to open "Minecraft", enter the server address of NFT Worlds, enter "Minecraft", hang out, visit, without any other operations on the chain. As for the holders of the NFT world, they only need to connect the world server address and wallet generated after purchasing the world NFT with their "Minecraft" account.
This also means that, at least for now, apart from the name and address of the server, the editable land in the server itself is not on the chain, but only the land in the game "Minecraft".
So, how does NFT Worlds reward players with their token $WLRD? By listening to the player's activities in "Minecraft".
In other words, NFT Worlds acts as a portal. Players enter "Minecraft" through NFT Worlds, and build and play on the land of "Minecraft". NFT Worlds itself does not have an actual piece of land similar to Crypto Voxels.
This means that NFT Worlds can "parasitize" on different platforms, not just limited to "Minecraft".
For the current NFT Worlds based on "Minecraft", entering the editable land area through the entrance of World Manager, what the player is really playing is still the game "Minecraft", and NFT Worlds is just in between. An economic system has been built on the platform and the token $WRLD has been issued, which allows players to earn money while playing.
To some extent, the NFT of NFT Worlds is just a "skin" and renderings of art and appearance, and the actual, editable land is still in "Minecraft".
So, if the bottom layer of NFT Worlds is completely dependent on "Minecraft", how will the value of its NFT and tokens change?

Interaction on the chain
First, all NFTs are created with a large amount of on-chain data. These data are committed to the blockchain at mint time. It is immutable and represents a baseline state of the world (i.e. different values, rarities, etc.) for other developers to create new layers on top of with dApps, tokens, etc.
It is worth noting that the NFT land issued by NFT Worlds is on the blockchain, but the real land is actually minecraft and not on the chain. For example, if a player buys and builds a piece of land in Crypto Voxels, that piece of land actually appears in Crypto Voxels, and the player can see that piece of land and manipulate the Avatar to walk around and run around on it. But for NFT Worlds, its NFT cannot be edited. The holder can only enter a preview interface to view the landform, environment, etc., but cannot move in it, interact with the land, or edit that piece of land (digging, building, etc.) house, etc.). What is really editable is the land in Minecraft.

interaction between players
Since the bottom layer of NFT Worlds is in "My World", the native players of "My World" who are not very familiar with Web3.0 account for a large proportion of the player group. In addition, experienced metaverse players who are interested in NFT real estate are also one of the audiences. But as mentioned earlier, since NFT Worlds is just an entry and a chain, these metaverse players are also "Minecraft" game players.
Players' assets in NFT Worlds can be divided into two parts.
First, the official NFT and native tokens from NFT Worlds: World and $WRLD. Players can obtain the world mainly in two ways: first, buy land on the secondary market OS; second, rent the world from the official NFT Worlds. Players will have full access to the world and pay $WRLD regularly as rent. As for the $WRLD token, it is deployed on both the Ethereum and Polygon chains. Can be earned through P2E.

game experience
Currently, there are several areas available for players to play.
After purchasing the world (that is, the NFT issued by NFT Worlds), NFT holders can open up wasteland in two ways. Of course, capable and patient world NFT holders can open up wasteland by themselves. Secondly, holders can hire NFT Worlds officially certified world builders to help them build the initial version and gameplay, skipping the wasteland development period directly.
In addition to the fact that NFT world holders can build their own worlds, players (whether they hold NFT worlds or not) can enter and play in open worlds built by other players through Minecraft.
NFT holders can also create an open world for other players to play, and directly open and distribute it to the outside world—that is, holders can make their own games in NFT Worlds.

What does the system offer players?
NFT Worlds officially provides many services to players. In addition to the already mentioned "world leasing" and "liver replacement" services, in terms of opening the world and publishing games, if NFT holders cannot complete the technical work in the publishing process by themselves, they can cooperate with developers certified by NFT Worlds , to realize the release function on different platforms and systems. In the follow-up, NFT Worlds also plans to launch an official automated game distribution hosting service, which can achieve one-click distribution without the need for NFT holders to rely on external resources.
When the NFT Worlds official itself provides the rental service and technical services of the NFT world, the founding team does not need to organize the player community and operate the player ecology by itself. For example, YGG has spotted Axie Infinity, established a community and launched a systematic leasing process and teaching of old and new, and invested in other blockchain games. However, as mentioned earlier, players can rent the right to use and build the world from the NFT Worlds official at $WRLD. And if the holder of the NFT world is a novice with zero foundation in games like "Minecraft", it is more difficult to reclaim wasteland, you can seek the cooperation and help of officially certified "Minecraft" architects.

External Community Links
In addition, apart from individual holders and individual players, NFT (such as projects like Azuki), DAO and other organization-based groups can also develop their own communities through NFT Worlds.
First of all, NFT Worlds supports NFT holders (maybe the official of a certain NFT project, or the core team of a certain DAO organization, etc.) to verify the ownership of different NFT (ERC721 or ERC1155) by players who come.
For example, holders can quickly see if players joining their world hold an NFT of a certain series, how much, and if they hold a specific NFT of a certain series.
According to what people have or don't own, the holders of the world can assign them rights, benefits, content and other rights in the game in real time.

Roadmap
END
epilogue
The NFT issued by NFT Worlds is on the Ethereum chain, and the land used for construction is on "Minecraft". It only controls the World Manager to connect the three parties. NFT Worlds has cleverly established an economic system on top of traditional Web 2.0 games (such as the game "My World" which has already accumulated many players and communities), so that the original players can earn while playing.
In fact, it is not difficult to establish a portal and monitor for the operation of the P2E mechanism. NFT Worlds also relies heavily on the native player base of Minecraft. Obviously, "Minecraft" can't do anything about it. On the official website of NFT Worlds, a small line at the bottom also states: NFT Worlds has no association with Minecraft, Mojang, Microsoft or any related parties, and has not been approved or partnered with them.
