Better than Windows 11 already. I can't run Bedrock or Java without first signing into the Microsoft Store on "my" PC.

Good news, you too can run Minecraft Alpha 1.2.0 single player offline without signing in. That's not what made this impressive :).

I love hobby OS projects, and it's good to see how many there continue to be posted here. I can never get enough! It looks like this one has some networking support as well.
