Waypoint Studios – Minecraft Marketplace Creator Profile
A leading Minecraft Marketplace publisher that both creates content and helps independent creators publish through their accelerator program, having paid out over $3M to partner creators.
Waypoint Studios occupies a unique position in the Minecraft Bedrock Marketplace ecosystem. While they are technically a content creator with nearly 1,000 published products, their primary identity is as a publisher -- a company that helps independent Minecraft creators get their content onto the official Marketplace. Founded and managed by experienced Minecraft map makers, the studio leverages over 10 years of collective experience in Minecraft content creation.
Based in London, UK, Waypoint Studios operates as both a publisher and a mentorship platform. Their accelerator program is designed to take aspiring Minecraft creators and guide them toward official Minecraft partnership status. This involves providing expert guidance on what players are looking for, helping creators tailor ideas into release-ready products, and handling the publishing logistics. Publishers on the Minecraft Marketplace take 20% of sales revenue, which Waypoint frames as an incentive-aligned model where they only benefit from helping creators succeed.
The numbers tell a compelling story: over $3 million paid to creators, 3.7 million active players across their published content, and more than 750 projects shipped. These figures position Waypoint as one of the larger publishing operations in the Marketplace ecosystem. Their content spans worlds, skin packs, add-ons, and persona items, with skin packs being their most numerous category.
Waypoint maintains a strong public presence across multiple platforms. Their Discord server functions as both a community hub and a creator recruitment pipeline, while their YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok accounts provide marketing support for their published content. They also operate a dedicated support portal and a formal application system for creators seeking to join their publishing roster.
The studio's 3.79 average rating across their catalog reflects the reality of publishing at scale with content from many different creators -- quality will naturally vary more than it would from a single tightly controlled team. But the breadth of their catalog means there is something for most Marketplace shoppers, and their best content benefits from the combined expertise of the Waypoint team and the individual creator's vision.
