Whatcha guys think?

General style (colours, textures, title) is good, but I would remove the sandstone wall obscuring the view. Or replace it with some simple structure of bricks, with a way leading into interesting places.

When you want to entice people to buy something you should rather use themes that seem to be letting them in, not preventing from entering (like walls, precipices etc.). The exception is when a game features combat as one of the main selling points - then you can show a e.g. charging beast as a challenge to be met in the gameplay Or for example when the walls comprise the environment of the game, like in dungeon crawlers.

SamIAmNot, good idea to make a cover for the game, I liked it and now I want to make one! :)
I suggest you to find some view where you can see (where is possible) another biome included, and maybe some construction made some far from the view to mean in a first sight what is the goal of the game (as MC game cover is focused on the player character and mobs primary, I guess).

Cool, I'll get on it! Maybe it'd make more sense to make "biome covers", one for each biome.

In the meantime, here's the XCF file for the cover; you guys can make your own covers now!
