The Metaverse Is Closer Than You Think

When you hear “metaverse,” you might picture putting on a VR headset and entering a virtual world. Facebook changed its name to Meta and has been pushing Horizon Worlds, but honestly, many people probably don’t quite get the appeal.

Microsoft Actually Has a 100-Million-User Metaverse

But if you shift your perspective, you’ll realize that “a massive metaverse already exists.” That’s Minecraft.

Minecraft’s monthly active users exceed 100 million. Players build, explore, and interact with other players in a virtual space. This is essentially the metaverse in its truest form. No VR headset required — it’s accessible from PCs and smartphones.

Meta’s Horizon Worlds has also recently become accessible from a browser without VR. I believe the gateway to the metaverse isn’t “VR devices” but rather “virtual spaces where people gather.”

VR headsets aren't the only gateway to the metaverse

The Potential of Minecraft-Based Communities

With this perspective, simply running a Minecraft server means you already have a small metaverse. Aceserver, operated by Acecore, is a virtual space where players interact, build together, and enjoy events.

The metaverse isn’t just something big corporations spend billions of dollars to create — it already exists as a natural extension of communities. We’re thinking about how to make these everyday metaverses even more interesting and useful.
