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.
https://www.luanti.org/ has long surpassed anything Minecraft had going for it.
I tried minetest long ago and was not particularly impressed. Has the community grown big enough?
The “Minetest” you tried was likely just the barebones example game that used to ship with the engine. Since so many people got confused by that, they stopped distributing that example game with the engine and now you get asked what fully featured games you want on first start. Voxelibre is the one that is like Minecraft but better.
Does it support Minecraft mods, or does it have to have them converted/made special for it?
Because that’s going to affect whether or not it has surpassed anything imo.
It has equivalents for most Minecraft mods (and more), but no, it is not directly compatible with Minecraft.
I think you should rather ask if Minecraft mods come even close to what Luanti games can do 😅
Is there anything like the ATM packs? Those are the majority of what I play, with ATM10TTS being my current playthrough
There’s also cubyz and hytale.
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…
What actually is this? The Website is rather unhelpful. Its just a Minecraft clone?
Now its a launcher, you can install many Minecraft clones from within
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Modded launchers are, among other things, package managers
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.
I haven’t seen the official Minecraft launcher in a LONG time. Not sure what you trying to imply here.
Interesting to see how this pans out.
Minecraft really isn’t a game where microtransactions work, at least on the ethical stuff. It’s a game about creativity and sharing, which means a lot of people won’t be bothered with mtx.
The elephant in the room is that there’s a giant ecosystem of paid server nonsense, most of which is basically pay-to-win and gambling for school kids, which Microsoft and Mojang somehow approve. They just think it’s unfair they don’t get a cut, hence the push for Bedrock marketplace and servers. Thing is, if Microsoft really starts seriously sticking their fingers into that pie, I really hope the regulators start waking up.
My man, have you seen the bedrock edition?
If Roblox gets to why can’t we?
-Microsoft
Microtransactions don’t work in Minecraft… yet…
That’s exactly why they’re getting the experts involved.
I know what they meant, but “head of Minecraft” sounds funny to me. Like “my dad works at Nintendo” vibes lol
Dont feel like mining? $.99 will get you a stack of whatever block you need to build a base home!
Don’t feel like crafting? Buy blueprints to the most extravagent of builds! Only $19.99
NEW: Minecraft CREATIVE DLC. now you can build whatever you’d like with UNLIMITED materials, flying powers and NEVER DYING. for only 19,99$. WHAT A STEAL
The second one will definitely happen. People already paying builders for nice buildings, and I bet Micro$oft wants in on this market
What an amazing time to have started playing Vintage Story
Minecraft died in 2014. Microsoft has just been keeping the corpse animated weekend at Bernie’s style since then.
