Using Minecoins is the best way to buy packs and skins from the Minecraft Marketplace as it allows you to bypass the unfair market prices set in some countries. It ensures that all items cost the same amount no matter where you are or what currency you use. They're tied to your Xbox Live account, and buying them is a lot easier than you might think.
How to get minecoins
Getting Minecoins is simple and the same on all devices running the Bedrock version of Minecraft. Currently, the Java version of Minecraft does not offer Minecoins because the content created for this version is generally freely available to the public. To get Minecoins for your Minecraft account, follow the instructions below.
- First step: open the market. The market is very easy to find and only requires starting the Minecraft launcher. As shown in the image above, you can find the Marketplace option on the title screen. Selecting it will take you to the store to buy Minecoins, skins, and other fun stuff.
- Second step: select the option to buy Minecoins. You can find this button at the top right of the screen in the Marketplace menu. By highlighting and opening this menu button, you will find a new screen to select the number of Minecoins you wish to buy.
- Third step: select your plan. The price of Minecoin bundles is based on how many you want to buy. If you select the higher tier bundles, you get extra Minecoins added to your account, which is better for your money. Generally, skin packs are 300-450 Minecoins, and game mods range from 500-1500 Minecoins.
- Enter your card information. If you do not have a card attached to your account, you will be asked to enter your card information. After that, you will see another prompt to confirm your purchase. If you click Buy and the sale is completed, your Minecoins will be added to your account!
