Bedrock Minecraft has always been the micro transaction version of Minecraft.
If you’re playing Bedrock and are now worried about Microtransactions, that’s on you.
Yeah, I’m convincing my daughter to switch to Java or https://www.luanti.org/, the big issue is my ex doesn’t have a PC for her, only an Xbox.
We will be forced to rent computers from nvidia soon anywayl
People don’t have the money, at some point all the game publishers will go under or consolidate as people just play already released games and use self hosted servers.
Rent Now, Pay Later!
I used Geyser / Floodgate on my Java Minecraft so my daughter could play with her friend who had Bedrock Minecraft on her Nintendo Switch.
They just removed obfuscation from Java Edition. If they even try to do a single stupid move - like with chat reporting a few years ago - it will be simply modded out of the game.
The only thing that they might be able to do is increase the price for buying the game, mess with the accounts or illegally change their EULA - without notifying anyone - again.
Bugrock Edition on the other hand is already a dumpster fire for years, so nobody really cares about that one in the first place…
Why do we live in a world where incompetent people are constantly rewarded
they are competent at being leeches, parasites, ghouls and bastards.
Corporate mantra:
Profits Rule Everything Around Me
Microtransactions may make a game an unplayable pile of shit most of the time, but they’re a great way to turn children’s allowances into corporate profit if you’re a gigantic corporation that doesn’t care at all about amount of fun that can be had in a game.
If you’d like to build a 4th chest, you will have to buy some chest tokens using minecoins which of course has a tiered pricing scheme.
They’re never gonna put that stuff into Java, that’s the fully Mojang version of the game. And even then it’ll be as easy as ever to mod anything they try adding out.
Unfortunately, not if it’s launcher level
We have third party launchers already? Does that solve da issue
Prism Launcher is amazing btw
:o
Do we???
:o
so many launchers to pick from! i personally like Modrinth the most
oh yeah and most of those launchers allow for easy modding. want a modpack? click install, wait for it to download, and then just click play in the automatically created instance. want only a few mods but don’t want to check endless dependency lists? what is it 2015? also just click install, the launcher will automatically download dependencies (and the right versions of them too!). worry that you’ll install a fabric version when you wanted forge? or a mod for 1.20 when you need 1.20.1? relax as when you click “add mods” the launcher automatically applies filters that only show you mods that are tagged for your specific version (filters that you can still disabled though, it doesn’t lock you out of installing a mod that’s not explicitly tagged as fit for your version, but you know it’ll work on it)
though don’t get too comfy slapping that install button, there’re still two things that can’t be automated - incompatibilities between mods, and straight up broken files. launchers nowadays significantly reduce the number of headaches you get when modding, but they don’t entirely remove them lol
I’m kinda shocked you’ve never heard of them but yeah, there’s unofficial third-party Minecraft launchers you can get. CurseForge, Modrinth, and Prism Launcher are the top 3 big ones everyone uses. I personally use Prism Launcher simply because it’s the easiest to set up modpacks for imo.
additional context; Katie Scott, a former exec at ubisoft, will be the “Head of Vanilla Minecraft” in 2026. this source writes:
Scott left Ubisoft in November, but her role as vice president of the company’s global creative game office saw her specialize in “competitive, live service, and free to play experiences to create games with lasting impact, high retention, and monetization results.” She also writes that she focused on “live service strategies and ambitious retention and monetization” in Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six games
now that sounds bad on paper, but it’s unclear to me what exactly she’ll be doing in this position. best i could find was this linkedin post advertising the position 7 months ago, which reads:
Join us in shaping the future. Minecraft isn’t just a game. It’s a platform for creativity, learning, and building community. We’re seeking a senior leader, based in Stockholm, to guide our talented teams toward Minecraft’s evolution. Help us build a better world through the power of play.
my interpretation of this is that she’ll still be under other managers, and wouldn’t be making any big decisions alone. regardless, this is not a good look for Mojang, especially at a time where the community are getting impatient with Bedrock’s issues.
You can just download any of the older iterations of Minecraft and host your own server.
You don’t need to be on the latest release.
What an amazing time to have started playing Vintage Story
Kids in the future going for the minecraft speedrun WR momscreditcard%
Minecraft died in 2014. Microsoft has just been keeping the corpse animated weekend at Bernie’s style since then.
I know what they meant, but “head of Minecraft” sounds funny to me. Like “my dad works at Nintendo” vibes lol
Shout out to vintage story for replacing Minecraft for me
I hard passed on vintage story. I was looking into the game, took one look at the community and the toxicity on their support forums and went “yep thats a hard pass”.
IMO the company should really do some cleansing on their starting topics. It doesn’t look good for a game when there’s active toxicity in the community forums arguing over if the game needs to be changed and telling people to get gud and that they didn’t have such things when starting out when they make super basic suggestions like starter equipment, or an actual tutorial.
They may have fixed that since then since its been a year or two, but that was a hard turnoff for me. A lesser known game needs community support to function and survive. Even minecraft mods have a vast amount of wikis and community support. An actively hostile community on the official community forums is not a good starting POV.
Imo, I don’t really interact / care about the community. But if that’s a deal breaker for ya then more power to you
I haven’t checked the forums tbh but I think that YouTube + the in-game help menu (pressing H) do a really good job. Plus there is an amazing mod support (and modding is actively encouraged) so you can really customize the experience the way you want even if the deve don’t add a feature you want.
it’s well known that when you work at a company, you absorb all of their morals and goals
