10 best free Minecraft Marketplace items to get

1) DragonFire Lite Add-On

Content type: Add-on

Creator: Spectral Studios

DragonFire Lite is a free, slightly less feature-intensive DragonFire Add-On. That's not to say that DragonFire Lite is lacking content, however, as players can find eight different dragons wandering around Minecraft's many biomes. Players can then tame these to use as flying mounts while also harvesting their scales to make powerful magical weapons and armor.

2) Heat Wave Survival

Heat Wave Survival is an exhilarating mixture of traditional narrative and survival maps. When players first make the world, they will be dropped into a village ravaged by the heat dragon. Tasked with wandering around to find a way to defeat this powerful foe, they can use items like solar-powered fans to keep cool.

Those able to successfully save their village from the heat will be able to continue playing the Survival mode using the heat meter from the narrative as an additional threat.

3) Planet Earth III

Content type: Map

Creator: Mojang

Planet Earth III is one of the best official mashup maps available for Bedrock, which makes it being available for free all the more exciting. Players get to step into the lives of many different animals, such as seals, sharks, and leopards, to see what it's like to live the lives that they do. It's a breathtaking and remarkable experience unlike anything else available for the game.

4) Gravestone

Content type: Add-on

Creator: Darkosto

The Gravestone Minecraft Bedrock add-on causes players to drop their inventories within a gravestone upon death, rather than having the items scattered around haphazardly. This mod makes it easy to collect items since there's no risk of them being destroyed by lava, and they also cannot despawn. This makes death much less annoying, as having to start over completely is frustrating, to say the least.

5) More TNT! Add-On

The More TNT! Add-On is another Bedrock offering that adds a huge variety of new Minecraft TNT items to the game. Some of these new explosives are trapped TNT, which function as a proximity mine; proxy TNT, which has a normal explosion followed by four smaller explosions; and colossal TNT, which has a massive blast range.

6) Jig's Guide: Redstone Basics

Content type: Map

Creator: Jigarbov Productions

Jig's Guide: Redstone Basics is an incredibly handy world to snag off of the Minecraft Marketplace for players wanting to become more familiar with redstone. The world features many different redstone builds and circuits ranging in complexity that will teach players the basics of what is inarguably the game's most complex system.

7) Simburbia

Content type: Map

Creator: Jigarbov Productions

Simburbia is a fascinating example of just how far Bedrock's newer codebase can be pushed by talented programmers. This map gives players total control over the layout, zoning, and buildings within a new city. Getting to wander around the city as it's built makes the management aspect of the game feel much more personal, resulting in a more immersive experience.

8) Rising Lava Parkour

Parkour is one of Minecraft's best minigames. The rush of adrenaline that comes from speeding around obstacles is unlike anything seen in traditional survival. Rising Lava Parkour takes this thrill to the next level, however, by adding a floor of constantly rising lava to run from. These difficult parkour jumps are even more stressful, in a fun way, since a single mistake can end an otherwise good run.

9) Minecraft Classic Texture Pack

Content type: Texture pack

Creator: Mojang

As the name implies, the Minecraft Classic Texture Pack reverts many of the game's textures to their older art. This is an amazing texture pack from Mojang, especially for free. Many of these older textures are both iconic and nostalgic, so having the ability to switch over to them at any point is quite nice, especially for veteran players.

10) Hermitcraft Season 9 Map

Creator: Hermitcraft

The Hermitcraft Minecraft server is one of the most popular content creator servers out there, regularly garnering millions of viewers across its members. They released a copy of Season 9's world for free on the Marketplace after the end of the season for players to explore.

While much of the redstone won't work, due to the differences between Java and Bedrock redstone, there should still be plenty of inspiration to gather from the beautiful builds created by the hermits.
