The Minecraft Marketplace didn’t have any major sales or events in August, but players still racked up 7,167,675 downloads for the month. That’s behind the 10.9 million in July and 7.9 million in June. But the store is up significantly from just 373,361 downloads during the same period last year.

With the Summer Sale ending in July, August revealed that some Marketplace content has long legs. Packs like City Life by PixelHeads and PureBDCraft continue to show up on the charts month after month. That’s proof that the Minecraft audience is going to reward content that fits specific niches.

But the top download for August was Lucky Blocks, which basically adds loot boxes to the world. When you open these question-mark cubes, something good or bad could happen. Kids just love those surprise mechanics. Lucky Blocks sells for $4 on the Marketplace.

The Minecraft Team held one of its MineCon events over the weekend. And the developer is planning a major update for the block-building phenomenon in addition to the recently announced character creator. This should give more players a reason to return to Minecraft, and that could help grow the Marketplace even more in the future.
