Alex was extrely happy. Minecraft was selling a lot more than he thought it would sell in the first week.
[Minecraft ]
[Units sold: 321 ($6,420)]
[Average ti played: 6 hours. ]
[Peak of simultaneous players: 241 ]
He had already sold over $6,400, which was equivalent to 32 Gaming Points!
With that he could finally launch the ga's multiplayer mode, which would definitely attract more players, as well as making current players even more addicted to the ga, as playing alone was fun, but playing with friends was several tis more fun!
With a smile on his face, Alex sat down at the computer and started setting up minecraft's multiplayer mode.
Using 50 Gaming Points, he bought a server that would support 5,000 people, which would be more than enough for the player-base now.
First he activated a LAN Servers option, which would be free. On this type of server, as long as the two players had the ga and were connected to the sa internet network, they could connect to the sa world together.
Secondly Alex decided to add a mode where the player could buy a world online, the world would cost $1 a month and the player could invite up to 10 people to the world with him, if he wanted more slots he would have to buy separately.
That was an idea that Alex had when making the multiplayer mode. As the ga was made on a very different platform from his previous world, it would be impossible to get hosts for players to make their own servers, so in order to accommodate these people he decided to make a system to host himself. Players would have no lag at all, and would just pay a cheap price to play with friends.
If soone wanted to make a big server with many slots, people would have to pay a lot more money, and then it would be up to the server owner to make the server profitable with the micro-transactions they chose.
And finally, Alex decided to make so servers for himself, to encourage players to play the multiplayer mode, ie he would make so minigas on a server that players could join.
The server na would be the na of one of Alex's favorite servers in his previous world.
[Hypixel ]
But he couldn't make many minigas with the features he currently had available, so he chose only two of the simpler but a lot of fun minigas he liked to play.
[Build-Battle ] and [Hunger Gas ].
Luckily he didn't have to build the lobby manually, the only thing Alex needed to do was imagine what the lobby would look like, or rather, rember what Hypixel's lobby looked like in his previous world and tell the system to build it.
With a smile on his face, after a few hours of setting everything up, Alex finally hit the [Test ] button.
The dizziness he received the first ti was gone, after getting used to playing this ga it faded with ti, so Alex just blinked and in the next second he found himself in the world of Minecraft again.
But unlike normal, now he was in a dieval town, with a big purple portal facing him, around him he could see so stalls with Villagers that could sell so useful things to players.
With an excited smile on his face, Alex headed for a Villager he had programd.
*Hrmm*
The Villager made his usual sound as he made a screen appear floating in front of Alex.
After changing the settings on the window a bit, Alex finally pressed confirm and felt a light co down on him.
With a smile, Alex ran to the nearest mirror and found himself there.
Instead of the standard "Steve" Skin that he had previously worn, Alex was now wearing a skin with a worn brown shirt, light gray pants and black shoes.
He had made his own skin to match the na he would use in the ga.
Through the mirror, Alex could see a na floating around.
[Notch ]
That was the na he chose for himself, both as a form of admiration and an homage to the true creator of Minecraft.
The Skin he had been made based on the original Notch Skin, the only difference being that instead of a long beard and a bald head, Alex changed to a bald beard and a head with long black hair.
Skin was pretty simple, but Alex liked simple things, so he was satisfied with that.
That was his idea, the characters Skin change would be free once a week on the Hypixel server, if soone wanted to change it before a week, he would have to pay $1 for each ti it changed, resetting the ti again.
As players liked to be unique, Alex thought it would be interesting to allow players to change their appearance as well. The changed skins in Hypixel worked on all Minecraft servers, including SinglePlayer mode, so even if a player didn't like playing with other people, he would still need to co to Hypixel to be able to change his own appearance in the ga.
And when he ca here, he was likely to be interested in one of the gas. Those who are more violent could enjoy playing Hunger Gas, and the more peaceful and creative had fun playing Build Battle.
The server had a Vip system, where the player could pay to have unlimited Skin swaps, colored capes for the player to wear, and be able to choose the color of the na above their head.
Nothing that would give you an edge against other players, but still allow players to support the ga, and help the ga earn more inco.
After testing the minigas, Alex was satisfied with what he had done and decided to quit Minecraft.
Seeing that there were 298 players online in the ga, Alex felt it would be a good ti to notify that a new update had been released.
Ned was very happy the last few days, and the big reason for that was that he got to know Minecraft.
Minecraft was not only an extrely fun and innovative ga, it was also the ga that changed his life.
From a high school student, to a strear who had over 500 people watching him every day.
Most Minecraft players got to know the ga through Ned's livestream, so these people liked to see him play it from ti to ti.
The money Ned was getting on the livestream was pretty good, in just a week playing minecraft he had made over $600, which for a kid who was still in school and just staying at ho playing video gas was amazing.
But today sothing familiar happened.
While he was using Nether's stones to make his castle even more intimidating, a screen appeared in front of Ned.
[A new update is available, do you want to restart the ga to update? ]
Seeing this Ned was excited and without thinking twice pressed the button.
[Yes! ]
