        fyi, minecraft java edition (what this server is) and every single other version of minecraft are completely different games and they are not cross compatible.

        i see that you’re a lemmy.world admin but i’m just making sure you know lmao

    What is the average age on this instance? Maybe I was too old already when Minecraft came out, but I thought it was a game for 10 year olds.

      Me and my army buddies all discovered the alpha version of Minecraft in 2011 while deployed in Afghanistan. One of our Intel guys brought it back on an external drive from R&R and we all installed it on our laptops. Soon, the entire camp was playing it when off shift, including old, crusty infantry platoon sergeants. It’s an ageless, timeless kind of game. Like someone else said, it’s like building stuff with Legos.

        it’s like building stuff with Legos.

        I got Minecraft when it was still in beta, for exactly that reason. I was in college, I had some free time, and I liked messing around with the demo - it reminded me of all of the fun I had playing with Legos as a kid. I think it cost me maybe $15?

        Now, a decade later, I still play it fairly often, and given all of the content that’s come out since then, it might be the most worthwhile $15 I’ve ever spent.

      There’s no age limit for enjoying things. I made that mistake once, and I realised afterwards that those enjoyable things make me feel alive.

      I’m 40. Minecraft is so good. I play harbored games mostly like Elite Dangerous and a ton of RTS or FPS games. Minecraft is different but it’s magic.

      If it was a game for 10 years old, and it’s been 10 years from release, then we get 20 years olds :) Also its like Lego, anyone can enjoy it

    Missed opportunity with not calling it minecraft.world, though I imagine that has probably already been taken lol

    Nice. I’d kinda like to see games like Minecraft become more like the Fediverse, where you could walk between worlds hosted on different servers in-game

      I’m pretty sure server connections themselves are mostly P2P so that would be difficult, might be doable though since there are plugins to allow hopping between multiple worlds on a single server but that’s very different than hopping between multiple servers.

        In fairness that task would likely fall on server hosters and server software maintainers as Microsoft and Mojang only provide the Authentication services and Game Jar file repository. They have little incentive to provide more than the bare minimum since their primary concern is updating and maintaining the game itself, servers are a secondary concern to them.

    I played minecraft with people on that other site, after they invited me to the 100somethingClub. And then some guy who told me he was high on cocaine kept greifing me for no reason.

    This is a great idea 👍

    Nice work! I look forward to checking it out very soon.

    I haven’t played in a long long time, so I can’t recommend something specific, but any plans to add one of those experience-based progression mods? It might help people identify more trustworthy players long term.

    Is there an open source option to Minecraft? Some of the latest decisions Microsoft has been taking with it have been quite anti-consumer.

        Minetest is an opensource voxel game engine. The minecraft-like game made with that engine is called Mineclone2.

      There’s minetest, but don’t expect compatibility with Minecraft servers.

        Forcing migration to Microsoft account and the deleting Mojang accounts, forcing chat reporting in all servers along Mojang’s rules, even servers not hosted by Mojang, banning ‘mature’ themed servers - and more

            It’s done both on the server and client side, using signatures and block chain, something like that. There’s videos you’ll find online that explain it much better than my 2c would, and I’d imagine wiki.vg would have it documented in detail if it’s still maintained.

    Really a missed opportunity to not run and promote a Minetest server (with Mineclone2 or similar).

    Is the server going to be accessible to people who play on TLauncher or other cracked minecraft launchers?

      Edit: ok, as long as the game is not owned by some evil company.

      Changed my mind a bit. God damn Microsoft suck a shit company. Keep your money and pirate minecraft

        I mean since it’s Microsoft now it’s not really a big deal, also after they introduced the chat reporting featu6 which was (and still is to an extent) easy to abuse by malicious actors.

        I know that debates about chat reporting tend to get very ugly and hostile so I’ll just link to videos explaining the problem, rather than dive into a heated debate (I won’t debate with people, and I certainly won’t respond to ad-hominems or baseless accusations).

        (Not YewTube or piped links, sorry)

        Though I will say running a cracked or Offline server is much harder and requires more effort and using an Alternate Service like ely.by to authenticate users means it’s harder for people to join, so I know why most people aren’t committed to doing it. It’s either too much effort or way too limiting.

          re-edit: just use Prism Launcher, that’s where the polyMC’s devs went to. old comment:

          there is that one other launcher… eeeh can’t remember the name right now it’s polymc . but it’s basically as good as the official one as far as connecting to server goes.

            PolyMC has a toxic lead dev. Google it to learn more. PrismLauncher forked from it about a year ago taking nearly all the active devs, and it remains my favorite launcher of all those I’ve used.

            Fuck PolyMC.

            PolyMC is great, has easy access to Mods, Offline mode (No Account), and separates versions into separate .minecraft folders called instances, very useful if you want to load up and play older versions.

            Only downside is some issues with Music Playing and World Icons not saving correctly.
