In order to respect the creativity of the developers, Mini World provides developers with a set of perfect commercialization pathways. Therefore, as long as the commercialization of maps is used wisely, developers can earn a certain amount of revenue while enjoying their creations.
The chart below, for example, shows a senior developer's map earnings for a week. In Mini World, there are not a few developers who can reach $1000 earnings in a month. So you have to believe that as long as you learn a reasonable way to commercialize and create fun maps, the earnings will not be bad.

Ways to set up commercialization in Mini World
So, what are the ways to get the above benefits? Let's take a look at it!
Step 1: Become a Mini World Developer
If you want to set up commercialization of maps, the first and foremost condition is to become a developer. The developer's rights and interests can be not only commercialization features, but also various rights and interests as shown in the picture below.
In addition, the benefits of the entitlements increase as the developer's level gets higher. Below is a comparison table of developer entitlements for different levels:
Of course, these rights and interests may change as the functions of Mini World are improved. Players can check it by themselves in [Developer Center -> Account Benefits].
How to become a developer
Currently, MiniWorld opens up two lanes to offer players to become developers:
1. Become a trainee creator:
- [Public] Uploaded maps ≥ 1, including hidden or shelved; (cloud archive does not count as uploaded maps), trainee creators do not provide creator billing services.
2. Become an official creator:
- Become an official creator through trainee turnaround H5 question and answer;
- Become a developer by applying for Starburst;
- Inside the game developer store entrance, the threshold to meet the standards page to apply for registered developers (upload > 1 map in the past 60 days, popularity value greater than or equal to 500)
If players who do not meet the requirements want to become a developer, they can log in to their game account on the official website of the Starlight Program ( https://starup.miniworldgame.com/#/faq), click "I want to apply", and fill in the application information.
After your application is approved, you will receive an email from the Starter Program, and then you can go to the Creator Center (https://developers.miniworldgame.com/center/#/login) to authenticate your identity.
Step 2: Set up map commercialization content
1.Setting up the Developer Store
Once you become a developer, you can use the Developer Store to quickly set up items.
Currency type: you can choose mini coins, mini beans, mini points, mini coins + mini points.
Tags: There are more types of tags. The purpose is to make the merchandise more attractive.
Categorization: Categorize the goods to make it easy for players to quickly find the corresponding type of goods.
Selling Price: Usually set at 1-5 mini coins is more reasonable. (The maximum price that can be set will be affected by the developer level)
Advertisement Mode: When turned on, players can get the props by watching advertisements. (Only mobile players can watch ads)
Use the developer store to set up an item:
How to open the developer store
Once the store is set up, we also need to make sure that the player can open the store when they need it to make a purchase of an item. There are currently several ways to open the store.
1. The player opens the store via the store icon in the top right corner.
Usually this way is the most hidden and least interactive. We do not recommend having only this entrance on the map to open the store.
- Open the store through a trigger or directly pop up a specific product.
Let's open the trigger, then create a new trigger in the trigger interface, and add the event: any player enters area 1; then choose the size of area 1 to select; action: make the player who triggered the event open the developer store. The following GIF：
Or, you can just pop up a prompt to buy a specific item.
The final result is as follows:
If the item is on advertisement mode, the player can also get the item by watching the advertisement.
Tip: You have 2 options for players to choose how to purchase your items. By selecting the in-game currency (1) and turning on the ad viewing option (2) as shown.
When players play your maps on their computers and cell phones, it will look like this. This method can help you increase your map revenue. This is because players can choose to use in-game currency or watch ads.
2. Pop up the store via NPC dialog.
Open the Miniature -> select the creature tab -> create a new creature in Custom -> select a model for the creature's appearance -> select the "Interaction" property -> turn on the configuration that opens the developer store.
Once set up, you can place the creature on the map, and after switching game modes, right-click on the creature to bring up the store screen.
2.Trigger Ads
On mobile, players are usually more willing to watch ads to be rewarded with appropriate props. Therefore, setting up ads to gain revenue is often the most effective.
Below, let's go through a simple example to understand how to make it:
1)First set up a prompt for players to click on the square below.
2. Set a new trigger in the UI interface, named Click Square.
The action to play ads is found in the developer options:
3. Create another trigger to distribute the prizes:
4. Assign the trigger "Distribute Prize" to the action of the trigger "Click Square": and run the trigger.
3.How to open the Developer Store
Developers can sell plugin packs and miniatures they have created in the Resource Workshop. However, players need to upload their resources to the cloud first before they can successfully upload their goods.
Open [Resource Center -> Main Library] and select the resources you want to upload.
Then you can put up the products in [Resource Workshop->My].
