"Minecraft" bekommt einen Character-Creator, der bereits in einem Beta-Update (PC, Xbox One, Android) erhältlich ist. Es gibt verschiedene Hauttöne, Körpertypen und Frisuren zur Auswahl. Mojang sagt, dass es etwa 100 individuelle Items gibt, aus denen man wählen kann, einige kostenlos, andere kostenpflichtig. Dies hat übrigens keinen Einfluss auf bestehende benutzerdefinierte Skins, die weiterhin verwendet werden dürfen.
