The Problem with Stolen Content on the Minecraft Marketplace
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 січ 2022
- The Marketplace on Minecraft Bedrock Edition has quite a lot of issues with stolen skins, maps, texture packs, and mods in recent times, and has been thrust into the spotlight in the past month with a release of a video by @AntVenom discussing the Faithful 32x situation. Recently, the Aether Mod was also recently stolen and published to the marketplace, further highlighting the problem. This video attempts to bring more light to the issues at hand, so that more focus and solutions may be brought to them. All of this commentary, over some Hive Bedrock Skywars background gameplay.

I found this out literally as I was exporting the video, but according to this tweet: twitter.com/GuardianInASuit/status/1480842511652319233?s=20
Vizzy (Kraineff) says in a Discord message that Faithful is currently hidden on the marketplace, and will be back up in a few days. Based on our experience of Vizzy in the past, you may or may not want to believe that. Just figured I'd put this out here in case the video ages badly.
Also, apologies for the random quality drops that the videos have been experiencing recently. Working on finding the cause of that and hopefully fixing it soon 🙂
Ok
2nd
Didn't ask
Ok
@@Endxrz I was 2nd
"Faithful 32x" and "The Aether" stolen and put to the marketplace is horrible. Microsoft needs to fix it.
I think one of the proper legal ones are "StoneBlock" because it is legally distributed by FTB.
There are two sides to the Marketplace. On one side, you have great content like the Sonic DLC and Pirate's Fortune, and studios like Gamemode One and Noxcrew, And on the other side, you have some unknown studio releasing stolen youtuber skins. I really want the amazing content on the marketplace to be recognized more, but I feel like everyone is caught up in the "trash" stuff like the skins. Maybe Microsoft will eventually have quality assurance teams to the marketplace, but that seems far off. Either way, I'm excited to see what the marketplace has to offer in 2022.
I recently played a marketplace map called terra swoop force, with INSANE maps, it was an elytra flying course with awesone flyer suits, a super cool story and a crazy ending, the courses were super unique and creative though quite challenging, there even seemed to be different modes (i didn't try all of them) but the best part: IT WAS FREE!!! i totally recommend trying it out
I hope one day us bedrockers get customizable skins :'(
What about Sanic DLC? It's good and did ask permission from SEGA
@@SuperPhantomMario ...Mobile versions do.
@@pisfool3860 yeah but that's pocket edition not bedrock
The Marketplace is basically the Google Play Store of Minecraft. There are genuinely good addons, maps, and resource packs that are sold at a fair price but those are often overshadowed by the massive abundance of terrible maps and knock-off versions of popular and trending topics using different combinations of terms to narrowly avoid copyright infringement.
fun fact: you cant even upload direct addons on the marketplace, you need a map for it. plus you can transfer whatever addon is there to another world. Oh wait, you cant even upload it cuz you need to be a marketplace partner? how can i be, you ask? welp you only need to sign up this form and it will take a long time. Im a bedrock user (android specifically) im not hating in this edition though.
Yup. I'm a skin creator and I recently discovered a partnered company had posted slightly edited skins that were heavily based off of content I've created in the past. I contacted the studio directly, and, unsurprisingly, received no response. It's clear they have no intentions of stopping seeing as they have since posted more stolen content- skins I recognize unquestionably from NameMC. I don't look forward to the lengthy process of communicating directly with Mojang/Microsoft, and am honestly seriously considering just letting it go, sad as it is. Great, informative video!
hey mam, if you want me yo, I can pay you for your stolen money so you don't feel as bad just hmu
@@tokity851 nah, its all good! thanks so much for the offer, but I'm really just concerned about my content :)
Don't, they are profiting off of your's and others work, doing nothing themselves, imagine you spent 400+ hours building thousands upon thousands of unique buildings, tagging it with signs than someone comes along, and removes the signs, and put a couple of leaves making it look a bit more dilapidated and it gets thousands of clicks more than your original, wouldn't you pursue that?
If you have had something stolen you can do a DMCA take down, can send you the link if you need it. :) sorry to hear you went through this.
bruh so they're just taking random free skins from the internet and selling it on the Marketplace? yeah someone needs to be held accountable for this
I… really like the direction your content is going. I like these “general” bedrock commentaries more then the hive ones because I’m just much more interested in this stuff. If I had to give a little feedback, I would say just keep doing these more minecraft bedrock focused videos instead of the hive focused videos. Great job
it also may catch a broader audience. although a majority of the bedrock player base plays on The Hive anyway, this will catch the attention of the people who play on Bedrock Edition but just don't play on The Hive or any server in particular. or even people outside of Bedrock Edition, just wanting to catch up on news on other platforms of the game.
@@gwyneth8306 This. Potato making this kind of content now expands his potential community. Hoping he keeps this up with his normal stuff aswell.
@@jamemeus yokai watch
@@rtg55
Still kind of upset that Wondernyan is bugged in the 2.0 update for Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls. It won’t let me fight him. ;-;
Something about “We Among Us” makes me cringe.
Anyway, very informative video. I would like to say that I’m surprised this is happening but when you mentioned that Microsoft is making money off of these stolen items, it made a lot more sense why they’re so slow to act. Also it sucks because now people who don’t play bedrock are going to use examples like this and bad featured servers to say why they don’t like bedrock edition…even though those problems don’t represent bedrock as a whole.
They have the right to trash on Bedrock for those reasons, and this is coming from a person who PRIMARILY plays the Bedrock edition lol. Microsoft knows what they are doing. Minecraft isn't really the type of game that should be littered with microtransactions. Minecraft was meant to be a game that you pay for ONCE and ONLY ONCE. And these situations proves it...
@@Player-jh4ko fair but at the same time there’s a lot of good aspects of bedrock that these issues just crush, especially by blowing up on UA-cam and stuff.
@@protobuster12 yeah
@@Player-jh4ko but to be honest you did bring up some good points. Unfortunately not everything is perfect
You could say the video was sus
This just further proves what Pixel Paradise showed us at its time of release: Minecraft is slowly falling into Microsoft’s corporate wormhole of shameless moneygrabbing, and Mojang can’t really do that much about it. I’m just hoping this situation improves over time and for the Minecraft community to slowly restore its wholesome origins.
all it takes is one really good server like galaxite but minus all the battlepass shit to make everyone realize partered servers are a scam
Origins? Do you mean Bridging with shift looking backwards?
Im stuck in time and still use that bridge strategy ;-;
this actually should be interesting, love your general Minecraft videos over just servers
the aether thing made me a bit mad ngl…like I wouldn’t want people making over 10k on something I made… like bruhh, and for them to do it on something so nostalgic like that, is just stupid
the aether map looks really good, my friend played it and enjoyed it a lot, really unfortunate that it was stolen
Poor unfortunate. I bought it too. I want my refund!
this map looked soo good i thought of buying it but im now sooo surprised that it's stolen
Ikr?
i bought it and it was one of my favorite packs ive got on the marketplace but after i heard it was stolen it made it a lot less fun
@@strlke
I bought it too. Was thrilled the Aether was finally here. I had like many tried the glowstone frame and water trick, that was a hoax.
This makes me weary of buying any more stuff on there.
honestly my only qualm with bedrock as a java player is the marketplace. I don't care about any of the bugs (which java also has plenty of), or the different features (because I understand they're made in different engines). I just think putting microtransactions in a game with a primarily young audience, who usually have no sense of the value of money, is scummy. And then I hear about the stolen stuff on the marketplace, and it really doesn't help bedrock's case. I play a lot of modded Minecraft, and I don't want to have to pay as $5 (which is 369 of my country's currency, way too expensive) for a simple tools mod when I can get it for free in java, and I can't even get a refund. Otherwise, I think I agree that Bedrock is the future of Minecraft, but they really need to improve the system
Are you Russian?(the dollar/[insert other currency] ratio is very similar)
@@spikergames4259 no, indian lol
just wanted to correct you however: there ARE LOTS of free content that you can find on places other than the Marketplace, that are of similar, if not better quality than some of the stuff on the Marketplace. as a Bedrock player who's considering moving to Java first chance I get, you can totally still enjoy stuff like add-ons, texture packs and maps without touching the Marketplace ever
i just dont like it at all when somebody uses the point of "how am i going to enjoy add-ons, texture packs and maps if i dont have money???!?!!?!" when you definitely still can, it's definitely exaggerated in that regard
take a free texture pack like "MultiPixel" for an example, i was like "people are paying for Faithful?" when there's this way better version of it that's free and basically just Faithful but the +1.14 textures, while MrVizzy's Faithful still had a few textures stuck in the old 1.8 style
Ive been recently scammed off the marketplace. I wanted to get a cool parkour map that was about 1000 minecoins and i bought it. When i created the world, there was no map... I tried to make a new world, there was no map.. I really hope that they should do something about this, the map got removed, but i bet there are more things like this in the marketplace.
RIP minecoins
This honestly was kinda crazy since microsoft didnt do anything. not a great look for them😬
A lot of the points you make I agree with, and I too loathe the marketplace (I say that as someone who has worked in it). But you failed to define what the term “stolen” really means as it was used in this video. Assets? Intellectual property? Themes? How does it differ from inspiration? Etc
hi
@@jpts36 u real
@@user-fc2ik5xb3j hi
The minecraft marketplace was supposed to act as a way for minecraft creators to make a living out of making content for player. But if content on that marketplace are stolen from other creators, then all that is doing is harming the creators of rhe original content. I really think that the minecraft marketplace needs to have a way to regulate the content that is posted on there(either user based reports or a team manually checks content before making it public) this way things like this shouldnt happen. The fact that this is happening on there and people not getting refunds for the stolen content is just unreal and really heartbreaking. Like Minecraft Bedrock already had a bad rep for having Microtransactions in the first place, but this situation just made things even worse. I hope things get better.
It's really sad seeing so many videos & comments about this making it seem like the Marketplace as a whole is bad. A handful of partners who started stealing once they got accepted is overshadowing all the amazing partners who make original content.
not to mention people are exaggerating it a bit, some of them even seem to think you can't even download free content outside of the Marketplace (and you definitely can and the gap in quality isn't very big at all)
Can you believe there was a super cool potato pie skin set?? I bought like 10 of them!!
So cool!
Much cool 😎
U seriously autoclicked?
Kool
I found a skin pack that had 80 skins FOR FREE. There were THREE of them. 240 FREE SKINS.
i hardly use the marketplace, but i never knew it had this much drama. great vid!
i think whats best for the community is to allow comments under the products they purchased and a moderation team to check whether any rules is broken
4:10 My man's hands do be dancing
As a Minecraft skin creator I realy appreciate the coverage on marketplace being a hell hole. It's absolutely abysmal and it's other websites do the same thing.
4:08 was not auto he just did a glitch where you punch a certain block and open ur inventory
Gigachad
@@trashee830 I actually did that too and I got shocked why the hell my character hand is moving
This is why I hate bedrock edition so much,they allow people to steal mods, maps, that people spent months if not years just to make it and then someone steal it and make a living out of it while they dont.
I saw this right in the morning and today’s definitely going to be a good day for me! Thank you much!
I LOVE your documentaries please keep it up.
part of my work is to review the new releases on the minecraft marketplace every week. It is so frustrating to see cheaply produced content relying on their stolen IP to overshadow well made original content...
Dude I applied to be a MC Marketplace Creator literally 2 years ago and my application is still “Being Reviewed”
How do you get outlined ores in the pack? when i go to the website there's no download for outlined ores.
this sounds like something to get in on before they do take action on it
What is the texture pack used for the intro and outro?
Its insane how many of these exist I. I think that Vizzy is one of the big main details because 1000+ minecoins for something you can download freely I find dumb, Thanks for looking out for many of thse and i hope microsoft gets around to fix this and make it a better place and community!
I barely even found out about the Faithful texture pack being on bedrock..
I have only bought two maps off the marketplace one of which being from Minecraft it’s self and any thing else was downloaded an ported in
I mostly use MCPEDL to look for addons, because in marketplace some content isn't accurate
i think the marketplace is awesome for switch players because there isnt any other way to get texture packs or worlds. There definitely is a limited choice for pvp packs which is disappointing but i think its directed towards non pc players.
same as ps4/ps5
What gaming mouse do u use?
I don't play bedrock anymore but your videos are just too damn intresting!
I wish people didn't copy stuff that other people made and put it on the marketplace
:(
People work hard on the stuff they make and people just steal it and try to make money off of it :[
Can i ask how about one block Challenge? They stole tho or re upload?
About the among us spinoffs. I know it sounds bad but I mean you can't judge minecraft negatively for that. This comes with every game that has community adding stuff. Like roblox has actual among us minigames with minor changes and nothing was done about it.
I've never had the pink screen bug, maybe it's due to me playing on Switch and it only affects x86 platforms?
Wait what ,Pink Glitch hasn’t been fixed in 1.18? It happened to me a lot in 1.17 but I haven’t seen it in 1.18 i thought it had been fixed
I found someone selling hardcore mode....HARDCORE MODE...BEING SOLD....LIKE WHATTTTTT
The "aether"mod on there is also just stolen assets
Microsoft need to implement a system for reporting so that content can be removed if it does violate any guidelines
I didn't know The MarketPlace had this much drama , I rarely use the market place since I don't have Minecoins
dont even get me started on the stolen skins in some fnaf-style skinpacks.
I bought the star wars pack on the PS store. But when I go to download it, it tells me I have to buy it again.
Is there WITHER STORM pack on the marketplace
I knew about faithful but I didn't knew there were so many of stolen content and now ather ? I am a bedrock player. I used to think about good of marketplace content which actually earns creators some money which is good in a way. But now after seeing the vedio I am shocked. I personally think skins would get stolen indeed (I use a skin made by myself I never put it in market place nor anywhere but I saw a similar skin to mine but I don't know chances of my skin being coppied). Now I am gonna do my own research on this . Thanks potato for making the vedio it is great
I think it says a lot that someone can steal content from someone who literally works on the game and they can’t do anything about it because a company higher up cares more about making money
Another quality video by potato. Keep it up man.
at least they fixed when you minimize minecraft it dosent send you out of a server anymore
Btw for the dream team thing, it’s a fun topic so I think it would be understandable to have multiple versions of it and it’s not a complete ctrl c ctrl v

This video just bc it's bedrock reminds me when my account was hacked...good times my friends
My friend actually bought the aether map and it was... Ok. It wasn't very good for the price they want
Then microsoft is confused about the bad reputation of the store, btw can you talk about the blocked content on minecraft consoles ?
You should just do a voice over with just the landscape with RTX
I hope my map isn’t stolen, I want to join the market place & bring my maps to allow people on console.
The pink glitch is legit a inside joke on my streams at this point lol 8:54
do you have any idea how we can report them?
cough cough one block map that breaks whenever a mob spawns
This video just proves, in my opinion, any in app purchases in extremely popular games need some form of government regulation to prevent this type of stuff from happening on their marketplace
Wait, didn’t eckoslider do a vid on this?
I have counted a total of 27 duplicate dream mask skin packs on the marketplace
This problem needs to be fixed
I can still find and probably purchase the faithful pack on the marketplace
Talking about Marketplace I had an Idea of how to use my own custom skin on any platform:
Create skin
Release it on Marketplace for free
Download your own skin
Tab??
I dont see a tab called marketplace
I mean
I see A Button that says marketplace but no tab
Can you make a video on playground in galaxite
I went to go search up aether dimension on market place and the first thing i saw was the aether dimension
Yay content lets go!
Bruh momento, immediately went to my Minecraft installed devices to rid Faithful completely.
I now utterly lost respect and Microsoft should refund everyone now that it’s taken down.
recently I was playing minecraft and I found a dream hoodie in one of those featured cosmetics
4:10 how are u still moving your fist even your inventory is opened are u using invisible hax?!?!
Its the auto clicker glitch, it doesnt hit players so it is harmless but it usually occurs when you click and switch inventory slots at pretty much the exact same time (it works easier if you use the side mouse buttons)

Have i been the only one who has never got the pink glitch? I swear ive never got it on my pc even though i probably have the rd engine
3:04 finally vattic got justice, but it would be nice if he could make it free for the bedrock version on marketplace or MCPEDL
Enjoyed watching this :D
I don't get pink glitch and I'm on pc windows 10
Sigh I wish the Minecraft market place was not like this it’s so so sad I wish the market place was actually *good* but it’s just sad to see Minecraft looking like this and I just wish they could do something about this and the fact that it took them so long to take faithful off is something else but I honestly don’t care that I have faithful downloaded already because I use it as a side pack on top of the slime texture pack like that I mean is all the menus hearts and all that stuff are faithful but all the textures and that stuff are slime so i just use faithful as a side pack on top of one of my packs
There's also a lot of stuff taken from Roblox, I saw a DOORS map yesterday.
That’s not taken tho
@@Hiveganeslol Was it made by the same people?
Thumbnail alternative : *Warning this Item May have been STOLEN*
dam feel bad now, i didnt know the aether was stolen and bought it
Ooh, so I am not the only person questioning these things.
Man this is genuinely upsetting
I thougt the aether mod were made by the official team and now i see this?
I was so excited to see the future of that mod... and well it turns out its stolen
The author of the mod works for mojing you know
@@TheDragonfriday yeah but i mean the mod itself
Bought faithful before knowing about happened.. kinda sad I did

Here is a sign that we should all move to Java, if you have a pc, then you have no reason to not play Java
i mean you can either play normal minecraft
or mobile minecraft that moved too pc and has microtransactions
He does play java but likes bedrock too
I have loved you since summer 2020 I was one of your most early subscribers You are the best youtuber and best streamer on twitch ever in my opinion.
i mean there working on a huge update after the update i think they willl fix these problems
Someone know when Faithful will back on bedrock marketplace?

I really hate these stolen stuff
Omg I didn't realize you were playing bedrock edition for a sec and was like "wtf is that bridging
I can't believe I actually brought the Faithful skin pack without realizing it was stolen, and now I can't get a refund
Good video, but I feel like there's a difference between
Inspiration and straight up copy and pasting another person's work.
This is probably why Minecraft Java players think bedrock is inferior Microsoft is being lazy and doing nothing about it also pixel paradise they barely do anything about issue
I think minecraft should make a moderation team for the marketplace and a report system
Agreed
Oh the Marketplace is only one of the MANY REASONS on the list to why Bedrock is worse than Java. It makes me disappointed because there was a time where DLC was actually good.
At least 2 stolen content units have been removed by community demand or something
Surprised no one is talking about stolen java maps and mods.
