Minecraft Dungeonsis out now, with the game available for download throughXbox Game Pass, or for the budget price of $20. However,Minecraft Dungeonscan be a surprisingly complex game, despite theMinecraftaesthetic and the mechanics being geared towards younger players. That’s left many players wondering how to trade or drop gear inMinecraft Dungeons.
Minecraft Dungeonsis full of chests, secrets, and emerald containers, all of which will help players raise their power levels and fill their inventory. However, those looking to trade gear inMinecraft Dungeons,or even just drop it instead of salvaging it, are out of luck. Right now, loot is locked to individual players, so it isn’t possible to drop gear inDungeonsor trade it with friends.

That may not be such a bad thing, though. Players that reachMinecraft Dungeon’smax levelwould be able to abuse the system too easily, lifting their friend’s power levels to a ridiculously high number for the first few playthroughs. Instead, those that want to play co-op inMinecraftDungeonswill want to stick together throughout the game, leveling at the same time and earning gear at a similar rate.
It’s possible that this changes post-launch, asMinecraft DungeonsDLC is already confirmed, and would come with quality of life improvements, but it doesn’t seem too likely. Being unable to trade or drop items inMinecraft Dungeonsseems very intentional, as it is a great way to keep the game balanced. There aren’t classes, either, meaning there are few reasons for players to try and boost an alt anyway, so the system would almost certainly be exploited to raise friends levels.
For now,MinecraftDungeonsplayers will just have to live with salvaging gear. Luckily, that becomes a good way to earn emeralds fast inMinecraft Dungeons,which allows players to purchase items from the game’s various traders. Dropping items inMinecraft Dungeonswould be convenient, but it’s just too open to exploitation.
Minecraft Dungeonsreviewshave been fairly positive so far, with many citing it as a great gateway into other ARPG games likeDiablo.Hopefully, more will come from it in the future.
Minecraft Dungeonsis available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
