Topic: The Blockchain Version of Minecraft — — The Sandbox, A Metaverse Project (Read 58 times)

The Sandbox is a decentralized game platform that uses NFT and blockchain technology to empower creators, artists, and game players. It has three components: Voxel editing software, VoxEdit, the market, and Game Maker. Anyone can create and animate 3D objects through VoxEdit, and create games using in-game visual scripts. Its vision is to provide a virtual space where virtual worlds and games can be created without centralized authorization.

The Sandbox’s built-in games is similar to “Minecraft” in design and has certain programming functions. The purpose is to provide creators with better possibilities and tools, and let them have 100% of their own creation as well as provide players with opportunities to participate in the game and make money.

The Sandbox originates from the developer/publisher Pixowl. Previously, it has released two popular mobile games, The Sandbox (2011) and the Sandbox Evolution (2016), with a total of 40 million downloads on iOS and Android.

Core components
VoxEdit
VoxEdit is an easy-to-use multi-functional 3D voxel modeling and NFT creation package for PC/Mac, allowing users to create and animate 3D objects, such as humans, animals, vehicles, trees, tools and objects. Voxels are square 3D pixels similar to building blocks. VoxEdit can be used to create beautiful works quickly.
NFT Market (Market Place)
Sandbox’s NFT market allows users to upload, publish, and sell NFT works made with VoxEdit. The creation is first uploaded to the IPFS network for decentralized storage and then registered on the blockchain to prove ownership. It supports ERC-721 and ERC-1155 formats to publish their works, sell, or trade game assets created by the VoxEditor.

Game Maker
Sandbox Game Maker allows anyone to create 3D games for free and then build games in the plots of land. With the help of accessible visual scripting tools, they can be created without codes. These plots and the unique game experience created in them form the Sandbox Metaverse.
