The story behind why we publish
Waypoint Studios is a leading publisher of Minecraft maps and skin packs on the Minecraft Marketplace. We help small creators in the Minecraft community publish to the Minecraft Marketplace, working with a collection of the best creators in the Minecraft community to create and publish content to the Minecraft marketplace.
Since starting, we have helped small creators build a portfolio of successful Minecraft worlds, adventures, and skin packs with the aim of helping them become their own Minecraft partner. We set creators on the right path by giving you direct access to our team of mapmakers, as well as being part of our industry-leading accelerator program that has helped some of the top creators in Minecraft become partners.
Frequent Questions
What's the difference between a Minecraft partnership and a Waypoint Partner?
A Waypoint Studios Partner is an alternative route, that’s officially approved and recognised by Mojang. We offer a more hands on approach to start your partnership, helping to answer questions, provide technical assistance and generally show you the skills you need to become your own partner.
Through our assistance, creators are more likely to be noticed by Mojang and be recognised as a talented creator with the assurance that you’ve been shown all the ins and outs of making content for the marketplace.
What makes Waypoint Studios the best partnership for you?
We’re biased, obviously, but we firmly believe that Waypoint Studios offers the best partnership program as we were founded by and managed by Minecraft map makers. A Waypoint partnership isn’t for everyone, though!
At Waypoint Studios we are particularly skilled at supporting creators with existing ideas, and the pre-existing talent to build on them. We do not build your worlds for you, instead we use our 10+ years of experience and guide you on what players are looking for and help tailor your idea into something that’s release ready!
How do publisher fees work?
If you choose to publish with Waypoint Studios, then we take our fee by taking a minority percentage of sales of products we release on your behalf. Specifically we take 20% of each sale. That means that we only benefit from helping you succeed!
