Mojang has announced a monthly subscription for Minecraft called Marketplace Pass, which gives payers access to «150+ different content packs» from the in-game Marketplace.
The content offered each month will change, and will include skins, texture packs, and adventure maps. There'll also be new character creator items each month to keep for free, Mojang said in its announcement blog.
Marketplace Pass is only available in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, so anyone playing the Java version won't be able to subscribe.

Both subscriptions give access to the same content each month.
If you end your Marketplace Pass, any world templates saved to cloud storage can be downloaded for 18 months, but all claimed character creator items will remain linked to your Minecraft account.
