As the father of a Minecraft-obsessed kid, this feels intended to fuel my dislike of Minecraft.

So did the movie. And all those obnoxious YouTubers.

Is that it? Is mojang just an elaborate put-on?

    nah dude Minecraft is great. sandbox game that allows creativity and problem solving and whatnot.

    now, the microsoft-approved and promoted servers and ad content, fuck all that shit with bedrock. but basic Minecraft is great. just gotta get your kid onto basic java and away from bedrock where they serve you ads and shit

    Its been a number of years since I played either version, dont you pay for java and for bedrock? Why do they insert ads? Back in abt 2019 I didn't see any of that on Bedrock

    I don't think it's like external ads, just ads for Minecraft stuff hosted/promoted by Microsoft. idk, I don't pay attention to them and try to avoid bedrock. but yes, you have to pay for each version of the game, around $30 each

    Generally if you own a license for one version on PC you also get a license for the other, but it does sound like there's cases where you don't.

    When I got my eldest a license it covered both Java and Bedrock, and my license that dates back to the Beta days also gave me a free Bedrock license (I tried the Nvidia RTX demos then realized how incredibly limited Bedrock was because it would t let me play a normal world in RTX and so I said "screw this" and went back to Java)

    I'm pretty sure my wife's fairly new license also gave us both Java and Bedrock edition licenses too, but she's never tried Bedrock

    Yeah I redeemed my account when they switched from hosting on Mojang to Microsoft and I got access to both. But when I wanted to play on my Xbox I had to buy a new license for the my console (it may be that the app cost money idk). I was able to find questcraft and I can use my og license to login and play on my quest 2 headset

    minecraft can be very nice and wholesome, it's just that nice and wholesome doesn't sell (or rather big companies don't think it sells in this case). hermitcraft is an example of nice and wholesome minecraft, just a bunch of people playing on one minecraft server for a year or more (and then they start a new world, restarting the series in a new season) and making videos about every week. the members are usually pretty creative and kindhearted, and I can't really complain about them at all except maybe iskall, who had allegations pop up about him sexting women while married, who reacted to the allegations super unhelpfully and who left or got kicked off the server very quickly. major decisions like that are done by the server members voting on decisions instead of just one person being a bit dictatorish.

    Microsoft enshittified the fuck out of it

    base Minecraft is still there (except in bedrock, bedrock is super enshittified with official servers and ads and stuff and they make it difficult to connect to your own self hosted server, it's fucked)

    but java, you can still play just like old times, for the most part. shittier launcher. more login annoyances. but that's about it in my experience.

    Then you've played it more than me. I said my kid is obsessed, not me. I don't know why everyone is chatting me up about it tbh
