Five of the best worlds found on the Minecraft Marketplace

1) Balloon Skyblock

Skyblock remains arguably the most popular community-made Minecraft game mode of all time, and this world takes it to the sky in a different way. In Balloon Skyblock, players will progress through the world by beginning on their own balloon, accruing resources and defeating enemies, and moving between various hot air balloon platforms until they've completed their Survival Mode run.

Fans of Skyblock will know how this world operates from the very beginning, but the threat of falling to one's death is magnified when compared to the classic Skyblock map.

2) Linear Ancient City

An entire Minecraft city built in a straight line might seem silly to some fans, but once they spend a little time in the Linear Ancient City world, they might change their minds. Created by renowned marketplace partner Razzleberries, this world provides players with a massive city that is both lovingly detailed and large enough to accommodate a massive collection of players in multiplayer situations.

If the ancient halls and nooks of the city weren't enough on their own, players can also head underground to find a labyrinthine collection of structures beneath the surface. These are interconnected to provide even more enjoyment than what the city above can offer on its own. Additionally, this world comes with its very own cosmetic skins to better fit into the overall theme of this megalopolis.

Minecraft is celebrating its 15th Anniversary this year, and to commemorate this, Mojang debuted the 15 Year Journey world, filled to the brim with information and exhibits surrounding the history of Mojang's sandbox title. By collaborating with Oreville Studios, Mojang has brought fans a world replete with gadgets, dimensions, and vistas to explain the history of this beloved survival game.

In the Minecraft Museum in this world, fans can explore the game from the very beginning and travel through countless exhibits documenting the game's story. This includes its moments as a side project until it ultimately became the best-selling video game of all time.

If Minecraft players love combat and are looking for a particularly intense challenge, then You vs 100! might be worth their time. Players are dropped, either solo or with friends, into a sizable battle arena with multiple difficulty settings and filled to the brim with extremely hostile mobs. Fortunately, these players won't be thrown into the fire without help, as they'll have plenty of assistance on their side.

Specifically, after waves of opponents are defeated, players can spend their earned currency on upgrades, powerful items, and gear to help them continue surviving in the world's unforgivable arena. With the right loadouts, players can overcome the seemingly endless wave of increasingly difficult enemies, regardless of whether they're fighting on their own or with their comrades.

While this licensed world might not fit the preferences of every player, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles world is still one of the best that the marketplace has to offer. In this world, players take on the role of the Heroes in a Half-Shell as they roam the topside and sewers of a comic book-styled New York City to battle Shredder and his cronies to save the city.

In addition to the world itself, this download is packed with official TMNT skins so players can take on the appearance of their favorite Ninja Turtle. Battle foes like Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady, chat with April O'Neil and Master Splinter, unleash powerful abilities, enjoy some arcade games, and chow down during Pizza Time all in one singular world.
