57Digital – Minecraft Marketplace Creator Profile
Creators of the only officially-endorsed Minecraft companion apps (Minecraft Explorer, Skin Studio), and prolific Marketplace skin pack creators with licensed content including TMNT and Mega Man X.
57Digital is a mobile application development company founded in February 2011 by Jamie Chapman and Luke Dixon, two software engineers based in Sheffield, England. The company name comes from a charmingly nerdy origin: the original iPhone app icon was 57x57 pixels. What started as a small app studio has grown into one of the most established names in the Minecraft ecosystem, both as an app developer and a Marketplace content creator.
The company's breakthrough came through their partnership with Mojang to create the only officially-endorsed Minecraft companion apps. Minecraft Explorer was the first -- a reference app that lets players quickly look up crafting recipes and other game information. Minecraft Skin Studio followed, featuring 1.4 million Minecraft skins with tools for players to design their own and upload them directly to the game. They also created Minecraft Papercraft Studio, which lets users print out Minecraft characters and items to build physical paper models.
On the Marketplace side, 57Digital has been a partner since 2017 and has published over 1,085 pieces of Bedrock content, making them one of the most prolific creators on the platform. They are best known for their skin packs, but their portfolio extends to worlds and adventure maps as well. Notably, they have secured major licensed content deals -- their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles DLC is a Nickelodeon-endorsed reimagining of the franchise within Minecraft, and their Mega Man X world recreates the classic Capcom game complete with the original soundtrack, nine weapons, and iconic level designs.
57Digital also built BedrockExplorer.com, a third-party tool that catalogs and lets users browse all Minecraft Marketplace content. This positions them uniquely as both a creator of Marketplace content and a builder of the infrastructure that helps players discover content from all creators.
Based at The Workstation in Sheffield's Cultural Industries Quarter, 57Digital operates from a creative hub that is home to many of Sheffield's digital and creative businesses. The company shares its registered address with BLOCKLAB Studios, a Minecraft Marketplace publisher that helps other creators bring their content to the Marketplace, indicating a close operational relationship between the two companies.
