Minecraft and Walmart are teaming up in a partnership called Skyward. In this “first-of-its-kind” and "story-driven" experience, players will be able to enter an exclusive Minecraft Java server that will be available from March 21 until May 15. On this server, players and their friends will experience an adventure that begins on Earth and unites everyone in missions across different planets to find the “Golden Child,” who left Earth to fulfill a dream. To access the Minecraft server, players can go to the official website and follow the instructions to access the content.
