Time to move to Luanti, isn’t it
Play Luanti or Vintage Story
Fuck Microslop
Great. Microslop doing this while announcing they’ll be making movies. With how competent they are, brace yourself for the movie “Mein Kampf.”
Well, RIP Minecraft. Probably worth getting backups of your favorite versions.
RIP Minecraft happened when Notch sold out to Microsoft in the first place.
I wonder if he still would’ve still been a fascist, sexist, homophobic Nazi piece of shit if he wouldn’t have sold.
Do you think he became those things after he sold it? Like some magic trick where the very second it happened he became a bad person. No, he was surely those things before, just hadn’t shown it publicity.
yeah, he was not rich enough to show his fascism
I do recall that he talked about feeling incredibly alienated after the sale, because people only wanted to talk to him, for his money. He couldn’t make genuine connections. That kind of thing really fucks with you, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it exacerbated existing problems.
But also, like… Look at the Villagers. They deal in commerce, have but noses, and are protected by golems. He was always a shithead. Being a rich shithead only made him worse
As though it hadn’t been a hollow shell for the last decade or so anyway.
Tbh not sure i agree. Started a lore-playing server with friends in 2012. It grew to over 200 unique players and rich DnD style growing history. Minecraft entered its dark period after the purchase but in the last few years has given players plenty of steady updates that are bringing us back and keeping our lore playing server thriving.
Ive seen more innovations in Minecraft in 5 years than I’ve seen in pokemon in 20, to put it into perspective. Love both series.
Its the most purchased game in the world, do you think there is after the full release that isnt backed up a couple hundred times?
But if you want, i would recommend 1.7.9, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, and 1.19.4 since those are the most modded versions of minecraft as far as i know (1.7 and 1.12 being mostly tech modpacks)
1.21.1, and 26.2 if you want further content. Java, BTW. No sane person uses Bedrock.
I completely forgot about 1.21.1
Regarding 26.2, i would just wait for the last not bad version since if they do make java edition bad (which i doubt would happen), they wouldnt do everything suddendly
Well, I still play on 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Nothing that’s happened in the last 5 years of Minecraft “development” has mattered to me.
Shame about how Mojang was bankrupted tho
Only 1.7.10 here. Specifically… GTNH. :')

I opened this thread with the question “How many comments do I need before I see something about Luanti?” It’s so good, and the world is soo much bigger!
Ok but how much of the world do you actually use?
The noteworthy part is it’s much deeper. I just hit -1000 in my mine. I have a second base at -500 with trees, farms, and chickens. It’s a giant cave, like so tall you can’t see the ceiling or across it.
Why would anyone want to dig that deep? Sounds like a grind.
The rewards keep improving, and the caves are generally more open, so digging that deep isn’t as hard as it is in Minecraft. I routinely think “I wish I could go deeper” in Minecraft.
I already had a feeling Minecraft was going down, especially with the Microslop account requirement.
Last two paragraphs are the only thing of value in that whole article:
If you’re somewhat cynical of this move, I don’t blame you. This certainly looks like Microsoft’s targeted someone who’s more concerned about user retention, advertising, and monetization than community moderation and access.
Minecraft is a juggernaut that’s resisted many of the more concerning practices you can find in something like Roblox. There’s no explicit suggestion Microsoft wants to push that direction, but this changeover leaves the possibility open. We’ll see what the future holds
When you shoot yourself in the foot you are supposed to use a pistol, not a mini gun
Angelidou-Smith is no stranger to positions like this, but more in social media than video games. From 2014 to 2022, she was with Meta, looking after various aspects of Facebook, firstly in app monetization, and then in the realm of Facebook Groups, Dating and the like. Then, after stints in other industries, she took on the job of chief product officer at Reddit in November of last year. And now she’s in charge of Minecraft.
because we all know how good Facebook dating and reddit are
