They really ought to fix that exploit, at the very least disable the functionality for the time being until they find a fix.

The solution is to play only on private java servers that have modded out the censorship functionality. Of course most of those are closed or semi closed so useless for commercial purposes...

Mojang won't authenticate your account to the server. They can't remove the censorship without turning into a server that allows prirated accounts to connect.

> Bedrock is far behind on features and is far buggier compared to java edition. But does allow you render distances and frame rates that are impossible with the stock Java game (and can still be tricky even with mods.)

... at the cost of reducing the world update range, simplifying some of the mechanics and disallowing the kind of modding you can do on java.

This is actually one of the weirder things. The Java edition is objectively better from a technical player's perspective.

Is it safe to say that this positively affected me? For the very first time I installed Linux Mint on my old gaming with a 1080 TI and installed Minecraft/Steam. Minecraft ran beautifully and it is Java Edition 26.2. I've had a harder hit and miss time with games on Steam.

Am I crazy? Even a 1080 TI should have zero problems running Minecraft Java Edition...

You mean even a 1060 Ti...

I find this choice interesting. Vulkan is a sensible choice given the game is multiplatform (and of course they mention MoltenVK right in the announcement.) Despite that, I still find it interesting that a Microsoft subsidiary would make this choice given that Vulkan is a direct competitor to Direct3D and that Microsoft seemed to only begrudgingly continue to support OpenGL and wgl. (Am I hallucinating, or was there…

The bedrock lineage is microsoft's attempt at microsoftifying minecraft. The team behind bedrock are responsible for showing the world the supremacy of DirectX.

The defining aspect of Bedrock is C++, not DirectX. Bedrock runs on numerous platforms where DirectX isn't available.

Minecraft isn't exactly be the type of game to showcase a 3D API's supremacy.

Probably just iOS since Apple bans JIT compilers other than their own.

Ignoring that, https://pojavlauncher.app/ supports iOS too.

FYI, PojavLauncher has been succeeded by https://github.com/AngelAuraMC.

considering the amount of money they are making on Minecraft there is almost no forward momentum with the game. the tech is so dated that you have to go to mods to get basic performance improvements. Stuff like shaders and improving the render distance. more intelligent mobs.

The content updates are the laziest I've ever seen in a game, usually just re-skinned versions of other mobs.

really, it's illegal in Sweden to even think about lighting a fire under someone's ass. everyone's too comfortable to innovate. it's sad for a game with such potential. I'm waiting for someone to come and knock it off the voxel throne...

I was under the impression it was because Java wouldn’t work on mobile devices. Is that not the case?

There is an unofficial mobile port of Java edition, so no
