Minecraft allows players to express themselves however they want, making it one of the best sandbox games available. You can play any style you like and even make every thing your own with the many Minecraft mods. A lot of that is free as long as you've bought the game. Things get a bit murkier in the Minecraft marketplace, which is where money changes hands.



The Minecraft marketplace has been around for a while, but because it's only on the Bedrock edition and console versions of the game, it's not something that a lot of Java players might be familiar with. That's all different now that the two versions are in one place though. Minecraft It's not surprising there are some teething problems, given the increased exposure to Minecraft Marketplace.



Boredbud04, a Redditor, uploaded a short video clip showing some of the 'Back Items. These cosmetics are able to give a character a little more flair by taking up a slot normally left empty. Unlike many skins, though, they're also a little more ostentatious because they change the shape of your character. While some are just wings, it's hard not to notice how large they are when they start obstructing the market screen itself.



Inner Ghosts is the biggest offender in every sense. Boredbud04 highlights it second. This bit of back bling, if you'll forgive the Fortnite terminology, would take up the entire screen if it was in the centre. This is a big problem if you are playing multiplayer games. You can easily troll people simply by standing in front. All of this costs money, which isn't inherently an issue as someone has gone through the effort of making it, but it feels a little uncomfortable.
