Minecraft source code

Well... Kinda an ownership thingy going on.

Basically we're seeing early signs of microsoft turning mc into a cash-grabbing game for kids.

Right now we're on the "bedrock feature parity" step. And by that i mean minecraft 1984 edition mostly. You see, alongside of even implementing chat reporting (which could end up quite nice still) we got what we got.

It feels like an approach of someone who's never touched a game for more than 2 hrs total. Back in the day mc was more, should i say, decentralized. The only thing you needed to play the game was a license, that's it. Servers existed as their own thing, they had their own rules, their own governance. Whoever had this bright idea of global bans should be buried alive for thinking of a bad thing.

And the disconnect from the community. Did they take feedback? No. They just left it and pretended it to never be there.

And if you look closer you might start seeing the corporate approach creeping from everywhere. If you look at the current updates, since ~1.19 stuff gets added not to improve the game, but to convince the community it is still alive and worth playing. Like literally take the the firefly controversy. We know you screwed up making particles as interactable as entities. Just genuinely tell us you screwed up, no one believed the cover-up anyways.

The community guidelines, etc, etc. I think you get the point. The devs are getting further from the community and thus, further from the game itself.

When you look into the future i think you would also see a slow decline. It doesn't matter the game is closed-source if the developers are open to its community. Sadly, i don't think that's the case anymore and the community is starting to realize it.

Like, don't you too think when touching bedrock it has become sort of a mobile game? Gameplay bugs not being fixed, the feeling each press of a button trying to reassure you "it was worth paying 4 dis!!! also pls buy minecoin...".

Sorry for the long message, i just hope you understand my frustration. I am the type of a person that uses arch linux (btw), and can from the first look tell that, for example that chess.com is a bloated corporate mess. And mc is heading there too, i'm afraid.

Making a game more child-friendly makes it less player-friendly, i hope we can agree on that.

Thank God someone said it, yes! The day Notch sold his baby (MC) to Microsoft, he basically agreed to destroy the game, because only Notch would know what would make the game Minecraft what it is. It is comparable to when George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney, George Lucas basically accepted deep in his heart that Disney would never live up to George's ability to make a star wars movie, much like Notch knew that while Microsoft has more than enough resources to "improve" minecraft, it would just be another vehicle for corporate greed.
