The lwjgl bindings for this were written by a member of the GTNH modpack team, thereby completing the chain of vanilla->modded->vanilla once more https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3/pull/1033
How many people working on Minecraft now were modders ? And how many current persons working on Minecraft are also Modders ?

"Beta release has bugs" sounds like an april fools post?
Not about the bugs, but feature removals. Known issues is a whole different thing from "we don't care about doing this properly so we just removed a bunch of stuff we've had for a long time because it's easier than maintaining it"

Not sure, but they were able to get Wayland support working out of the box in this update. Previously it required workarounds, and even with workarounds, new issues would pop up in a game of whack-a-mole, and nobody really cared because running MC in XWayland was good enough for most people. Whereas SDL3 has very solid Wayland support out of the box. Minecraft only really uses GLFW to create the window, set the taskb…
GLFW 3.4 has always just worked under Wayland for me. What has been the issue for Minecraft?

Bedrock has much better performance so it was used for consoles, but there were already hundreds of thousands of mods for Java edition, thus the split.
Bedrock does have better performance but it is also hella buggy and unstable.

Aside from being more flexible they are mostly the same game. The original excuse for bedrock was that Java was slow and a native game would render much better, it was also easier to put shaders in a a native codebase. But Java edition is pretty performant nowadays and computers also got much more stronger than the game became heavier
Java edition still horribly underperforms. It’s mostly single-threaded and even if they’ve rewritten the lighting engine a few times (those decade old black-block bugs disappeared), the Sodium family of mods show you how much it can be improved.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're describing is client-hosted Bedrock servers, not a persistent, always available, self-hosted server. AFAIK connecting to a friend's world in Bedrock is free, but they must also be online. Hosting a persistent Bedrock server is a paid feature (Realms). Additionally, highlighting that Bedrock Minecraft is not supported on Mac. There are surely other ways of enabling multiplayer…
Correct. There are ways to host bedrock servers, it just isn't as easy and most people are better served by realms. Also, I thought you could play the iOS version on Mac. Doesn't apple let you run iPad apps on macOS?

They are explicitly a beta channel, and in fact if you create a world on a snapshot you don't have an upgrade path to future releases (unless you start hacking at your world files with an NBT editor). So most of the community ignores them and waits till release.
Snapshots do let you upgrade worlds to future releases and you don't need to do any NBT editing, just upgrade the game and load the world.
I think mojang is taking a turn away from experimental feature flags these days, so I guess this situation will get better over time.
Bought the game in 2020, played a few sessions then forgot about it. When I tried to play again a few months ago, I learned that they migrated accounts to microsoft.
Since I didn't migrate in time, I just lost my license and need to buy the game again. [1]

I'm absolutely angry at Microsoft that decided that they could just take away my MC license. Bought the game in 2020, played a few sessions then forgot about it.
