Blockception cofounder explains how to make a living from Minecraft’s Marketplace

I like learning about new jobs that didn’t exist a generation ago (or even a year ago). Part of that is because I have anxiety about people getting paid, but we don’t have to dwell on that other than to say that Minecraft is helping to alleviate some of my concerns. As with YouTube, Roblox, and Steam’s workshop, community members are making a living building content for the Minecraft platform. I spoke with one of the leaders of Blockception, a successful group of community creators for the blockbuster builder, to better understand this trend and to kick off our Minecraft Marketplace Stories series.

Alex Bellavita is the creative director of Blockception. This collective design content for the block-building game’s Marketplace, and it has found a lot of success. Bellavita is 24 years old and lives in London, and designing content for Minecraft is his primary source of income.
