Minecoins (Tokens on PlayStation) are the digital in-game currency used to make purchases in the Marketplace and Character Creator platforms, as well as certain featured servers. It is also shared with the Marketplace in Minecraft Legends.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]
The Minecoins purchase page in the Minecraft Launcher

Minecoins are acquired via in-app purchases using the player's local currency in Bedrock Edition, Minecraft Legends, and the Minecraft Launcher, physical or digital redemption cards purchased from retailers, the Microsoft Rewards program, or directly from Minecraft.net, while Tokens are acquired via in-app purchases using the player's local currency and physical or digital redemption cards purchased from retailers. However, Minecoins cannot be converted into Tokens and vice-versa.[1] This also applies to Minecoins on Nintendo Switch devices purchased after October 27, 2026.​[upcoming: BE 26.60]

It can also be bought inside the Minecraft Legends Marketplace and the in-game currency syncs in Bedrock Edition as well.

In the Microsoft Rewards program, 2500 Rewards points or 2,000 points (for level two members) can be redeemed for a  330 Minecoins code.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Minecoins are used to purchase content from the Marketplace, such as worlds, skin packs, add-ons, texture packs, mash-up packs, as well as character parts and emotes inside the Character Creator. In featured servers, they can be used for special in-game offers and exclusive Marketplace content.

Minecoins can be used in Minecraft Legends to buy skins and textures, Lost Legends, and Myths.

Cross-buy currency

[edit | edit source]

Since Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Legends uses the same currency and shared similar infrastructure (using the Bedrock Edition Marketplace), they can be used in both games. This means one can get Minecoins from the former and spend it on the latter (and vice-versa), as long as they use the same Microsoft account for both games. However, the contents from one game does not carry to the other.
