How to download Minecraft Earth for PC and Laptop
After the success of augmented reality games such as Pokemon Go and Harry Potter Wizards Unite, It wasn’t surprising to see Microsoft adopt AR for it’s popular Minecraft game. It all started back in May at Microsoft’s Build conference where Mojang teased a Minecraft AR experience for smartphones. Later, the experience was officially announced as Minecraft Earth. Pokemon Go had 20 Million players searching the streets for Pokemon, which gives us the idea what Minecraft would do with its 91 Million active players. After a short beta testing, Minecraft Earth is now up on Google Play for you to pre-register yourselves. While there isn’t any official release date, if you pre-register now, you stand a chance to get invited to test the game before release. And once out, you can also download Minecraft Earth for PC and Laptop.
Those not familiar with Minecraft Earth, it is an augmented reality game where you can create a Minecraft world on your handheld devices and then enlarge to see it in the real world via AR. Since the success of Pokemon Go, AR appears to be on the upward trajectory, which explains Minecraft Earth. It takes the AR experience to the next level. Unlike other AR games, which are single-person specific, Minecraft Earth broadens the experience. It aims to transform the single-person AR experience into a living, breathing virtual world, shared by everyone.

An Overview of Minecraft Earth
Minecraft Earth is a block building Adventure game based on the existing Minecraft game. While it may appear similar to the Minecraft game, it is different on an account that it is an augmented reality game. In the words of the game director, Torfi Olafsson, “This is an adaptation, this is not a direct translation of Minecraft.” However, explaining further he said, “We have tried to stay very true to the kind of core design pillars of Minecraft, and we’ve worked with the design team in Stockholm to make sure that the spirit of the game is carried through.” Like Pokemon Go, in Minecraft Earth, you can build different structures anywhere you like. Be it a park, a street, or even on top of your house.
Minecraft Earth is much more creative compared to the other AR games that have come out so far. In Minecraft Earth, you can decorate the real world with your creations. For instance, it allows you to install different art forms on the already existing ones. So, building a spaceship near Area 51 isn’t that difficult. Aside from the usual creativity aspects, you can take part in different adventures. A notable thing is that, unlike other AR games, in Minecraft Earth, you can collaborate with your friends to build something special. Also, there are “tapables”, which are pretty similar to pokestops. These are designed to give you small rewards, which you can use to build things.
