Why do anything cool when they can spend 6 months adding 1 feature from a mod?
At this point is there anything for them to add that isn’t part of a mod?
Publish it on Steam, add controller support and splitscreen and no MS account needed. That’s all I want. I want my kids to be able to play it on the living room TV without anyone having to do anything in order for it to happen.
Steam and independent accounts are never gonna happen unless they sell the ip unfortunately. Unless you download the cracked prism launcher but absolutely do not download that from the github repo, its illegal!
They could add another fictional animal in a vote (while a mod adds all the options before the vote finishes instead of just the winner).
The game has limitless untapped potential.
They could make whole new dimensions that are essentially a new game plus. With new, harder mobs, bosses with actual mechanics, new gear, resources, etc.
The creative sandbox aspect of the game is fantastic, I love creating things and seeing what other people make, but the survival aspect has had no real expansion. Their horrible balancing and failed combat update leaves no wiggle room for new weapons. The wooden axe does the same damage as a diamond sword.
Sounds like you just want to play modded
I have a lot. I want to see an official twist on it. Something that everyone can discuss and doesnt become irrelevant.
Hi. I make fun of this too but it’s worth pointing out that Mojang does 100x the work to the game’s internals for speed, stability, modability, etc. It’s effectively a completely different codebase from version 1.0
Well, they decided to make a new version and bottled it, so now have a lot of tech debt to catch up on. The Java version has had work for sure, but unpaid modders still do more for optimisation.
I’m not sure on who the developers are anymore, but I sure hope the people working on the backend are not the ones relied on for new content either.
This isnt tiny little Mojang and Minecraft anymore, this is the best selling game of all time.
At this point, I’m sincerely considering moving everthing to Luanti. But i’m uncertain between VoxeLibre or Mineclonia.
You can download both and see which one tickles your fancy more, but I prefer Mineclonia. There WILL be differences as Luanti is a fundamentally different engine from Minecraft, but generally you’ll feel right at home.
Currently the biggest differences for me are that lapis lazuli is stupidly rare compared to Minecraft, and there are no unique stepping sounds for other mobs so it’s like Alpha and Beta where a creeper’s footsteps can blend in with chickens, cows, and pigs. Dual wielding is also currently primitive, and Nether portals tend to put you in the middle of lava seas. Caves are stupidly dark but that might get improved on.
But I did manage to build myself a nice big house with an inner courtyard, and get myself to the End and come back with an elytra and shulker boxes.

I just gave it a go a week or two ago and it’s been so fun. Caves are basically infinitely deep, and the cave gen produces a lot of cool things. We just found a MASSIVE opening in a cave, we’ve been exploring a single room for hours and still haven’t found it all, we’re probably going to build a base in the cave cuz it takes 15 minutes just to get down there. Not everything feels finished, like the mobs are way less interesting, and the surface is generally less dense, but some things like mining are just so much cooler.
They made those
annoyingamazing light flares. What more do you want?? (/s)Maybe they are just working on it while doing the other stuff; remember they have to do something very big, the community has very high expectations unlike when they made the nether update
Also, their are working on the codebase right now
Isnt the sift the thing they were working on in the background?
I mean, they could’ve been working on both
#coping
Still no Aether in vanilla… 😞
Would be nice to get Minecraft in Steam too
Edit: just came on to find all these replies. What I mean is that I abandoned Windows and only use macOS and Linux now. I prefer Bedrock over Java and there is no way I am aware of to play Bedrock except using something like the Android version which isn’t the same.
I just wish we could get a release on Steam in addition to the launcher and other ways we currently have. If nothing else than putting the launcher in Steam and a way to somehow use Proton to play it in Linux, at the very least.
Microsoft doesn’t want that to happen for obvious reasons, so this won’t ever happen.

God damnit! How am I going to play RuneScape now that it’s on steam! It’s on steam so it can’t possibly be available anywhere else!(I’m just taking the piss. I agree with where you’re coming from)
Sure, but a game can be on multiple platforms at once…

Honestly, I don’t see the point of adding Minecraft to Steam.
Bedrock on Linux. Java edition doesn’t have raytracing.
Edit: also cloudsave.

If releasing on Steam and let Proton do the work of running on linux is much more impossible than to ask them to write the program again but this time for linux, i’m not sure what to say.

Idk, I visited my niece and nephew who love Minecraft. I came with my Steam Deck, and the recommended way to run Minecraft was through some 3rd party launcher that wasn’t officially Minecraft. It worked fine, but I kinda would have preferred an “official” pathway to running it there.

Microsoft account DRM isn’t enough for you?
Ah yes, the famous DRM.
Some launchers allow you to play fully offline, but only after you’ve authenticated and started the game at least once with a real Microsoft account. The launcher has a sophisticated validation mechanism to ensure this: a single boolean value stored in a JSON file. Set that to
trueand you’re good to go.And yet the Microsoft account migration which can be easily defeated by a JSON file according to you has attracted a class action lawsuit. Curious. Almost as if circumventing it is not my point.
Do you know what the lawsuit is about? Or what drm is?
I think Prism launcher actually disabled this in the newer versions? Please correct me if I’m wrong because I really don’t wanna give microsoft any more money
Official Prism requires you to sign in with a Microsoft account at least once. But since Prism is open source, you can also download unofficial builds with no Microsoft anything whatsoever.
Why not just add it as a non Steam game? Or do you mean for like multiplayer stuff with Steam friends? Either way it should work.
Prism launcher. S-tier Mc launcher
The unofficial Minecraft Pocket Edition Launcher you seem to have alluded to in your edit is pretty nice, and feels almost as if it’s a native port of Bedrock to Linux. All the Google and Android stuff is abstracted away.
Minecraft already has too much big tech influence on it with Microsoft, let’s not add Valve’s grubby fingers into the pie now, shall we?
WITHOUT SPOILERS PLS;
I like to play minecraft without the wiki or looking up game mechanics. Is there any reasonable way I could organically encounter this dimension within normal gameplay? Or should I look up how it works?
It’ll show up in Minecraft Dungeons 2. The dimension itself won’t come out in Minecraft until next year.
I feel the advancement tab is decent for finding stuff without leaving the game. It’s still looking up hints, just ingame. I’d love for them to add readable books in ancient ruins to give you hints instead. Idk how they’ll give hints for this tho
I dunno, my 35 year old sister in law just started playing she still hasn’t discovered that the nether exists, and hasn’t done any enchanting after 3 weeks. Some lore or even a handbook would probably help a lot.

That appears to just be a mod. The actual dimension has yet to be shown off outside of the promo artwork, and it’s not present in the most recent snapshot.

This seems overly convoluted and probably a mod, unless dude’s uncle works in Mojang.
No way to tell until the update drops I imagine, but the nether and the wither can be organically encountered/spawned (ruined portals and a specific painting) so I think there’s a pretty good chance
I’m old
Minecraft is such a weird one. My son was playing it with his friends and invited me onto the server to show me around. I was pretty impressed with all the new items and biomes and stuff as it got updated god knows how many times since I was last on it.
Told his pals “sorry my dad doesnt know anything about Minecraft”. It temporarily broke me. On the one hand he’s right. On the other hand I had about 600 hours on it before he was even born.
I explained this to my kid too. When I played like a decade ago there was like 1/3rd of what there is in the game now. I played Minecraft, but it’s basically like a sequel now.
