Direct3D 12 is Vulkan under the hood. GL is the real competitor, and it provides legitimate accessibility to small developers, which is why the industry is extinguishing it.

"Bedrock is basically an extension of Minecraft Pocket Edition " This seems crazy. When MS bought Mojang, why didn't they start with the console port for Bedrock? Even if some other contractor, it would be a starting point better than the phone version?
because the legacy console ports where very tied to the platforms they ran on

Probably just iOS since Apple bans JIT compilers other than their own.
Consoles ban JITs too.
The rules are always flexible for huge games, especially when they'd otherwise be an exclusive for a competitor.
Last I heard about Minecraft was that MS was pushing AI written code updates, and the game is utterly fucked with insane bugs atm.
> ...the game is utterly fucked with insane bugs atm As someone who's been playing since alpha 1.2.0 starting back in october 2010, there has never been a moment in minecraft's entire history where the game hasn't been utterly fucked with insane bugs. This is status quo.

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 https://github.com/AngelAuraMC/Amethyst-Android

It's the typical open source model. They are probably hoping someone else comes in to add the gameplay via modding.
they have, there are full minecraft clones you can download for it that work well
It seems like Minetest has more or less evolved from trying to be a Minecraft clone to trying to be Roblox, that's ... weird

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.
https://modrinth.com/mod/no-chat-reports Basically with each chat message there's a cryptographic payload proving that you are the sender, so reports can't be fabricated. If you remove it on the server before sending it to other players (or remove it on your client before sending it to the server) you can't report the messages. Also look into this and this for exploits: https://github.com/nodusclient/gaslight https:/…
Someone found the right way to phrase a report or are just relying on support to mess up on one of the many reports being sent to get them banned. It's not like the player being banned was on the same server as the people reporting them.

Last time I played I'm pretty sure they had a plugin that disabled sending chats to Mojang but left all other checks intact. It just broke the griefing-by-reporting functionality. Of course that won't save you if you go to servers that don't have reporting disabled so careful where you play.

Am I crazy? Even a 1080 TI should have zero problems running Minecraft Java Edition...
I even (quite a few years ago) successfully ran an older version of Minecraft on a laptop released in 2003. That had a Radeon 9000 graphics with a whole 32MB of VRAM. And yes, it was playable with IIRC around 20fps, with minimum settings and a performance-tweaking mod (Optifine?). I played it a lot, since that laptop was all I had. Even 0ad (the open source RTS game) was playable on that. That was maybe in 2013 or so…

Minecraft Java is notorious for running like absolute dogpoop regardless of the hardware. Most people play with optifine or whatever the current optimisation mod is
