The brand new wearable device is dubbed as the "Gameband + Minecraft." It is made to let Minecraft players to bring a version of Mojang's sandbox survival game anywhere they go. It was developed by a company named Now Computing, and was released in the market since Tuesday.

Also, the device features a 140 array red LED display that can show the time, date, as well as animated pixilated images that are taken from the Minecraft universe. The wearable bracelet also has a built-in software that could let the users choose between the pre-made selection of animations that can be used for the band, including the games and arenas made by Dragonz, Sethbling, and well as Hypixel, but the users can also create their own if they desire.
