How can I earn money building maps in Minecraft?

I read that you can earn money with it. If that works, how do you do it?

Above all, I have to do something else besides building? Where and how could I sell the maps?

How does that work with the payment?

You need to talk to people who want to open a server or something. But I do not see any chance of earning money if I'm honest.

Even if you manage to find a buyer, I think the effort is out of all proportion to the payment

I understand that. I would have thought - I will build a small beautiful map and can then offer this on the Internet for sale.

How do you mean?

It will not happen like that, I'm sorry. On the Internet, the payment process would generally be opaque and, to my knowledge, there are no copyright laws in the direction

Well to build such a map is very time consuming.

You get for a cool map on the you 30 hours certainly do not build more than 10 euro… Rather even less. That is not enough for the time you are in.

In order to build a buyable map, you can't "just build it", but you have to give a lot of effort, because for a map you have to model an entire city schonmal one by one.

Making money with building becomes very difficult. Above all, you need experience first. And those who make a bit of money on maps have a hell of a lot of it (several hundred hours).

Sites on which buildings are sold, there are quite enough. That's why the market is already flooded with content. But above all, there's the much more likeable construction community with high building skills, which their works for free on e.g. Upload PlanetMinecraft.

By the way, you are not allowed to sell maps according to Mojang official guidelines. Gray areas are called schematics, parts of a map that you can create and paste with MCEdit or WorldEdit.

Also agrees again.
