Some players pay for custom builds or professionally created maps. You can sell your designs directly to other players or through websites like MinecraftMarket.
Trading Virtual Goods
There's an old saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." In this case, your accumulated in-game items could be someone else's desperately needed resource. Platforms like Enjin Marketplace allow selling and buying virtual goods from Minecraft.
Setting Up a Minecraft Server
Having your Minecraft server can be rewarding in numerous ways. By integrating a 'pay-to-play' system, you can generate quite a substantial amount.
Participating in or Hosting Tournaments
Enter Minecraft competitions or host your own. Many competitions offer cash or in-game prizes for winners. These can be great to earn something extra, and as they say, nothing beats making money while having fun!
