Monetizing Minecraft builds

For the interested, Minecraft builds can be monetized in more ways than you think!

• Server commissions – Build massive hubs for a set amount of money (including upfront!)
• Personal commissions – Plenty of YouTubers are looking for maps of all shapes and sizes
• Donations/build assets – Self-explanatory, see an example! KAIZEN87 | Minecraft Builds | Patreon
• Building stores – Instead of a Patreon subscription, use a marketplace like (builtbybit.com)
• Join a private build team – Together you can achieve more and get bigger clients.
• Marketplace – Official marketplace partners monetize Bedrock maps for Microsoft.
• Do renders, cover art – Use skills related to building like 3D modeling or rendering!
