Mojang has started selling mods, and people don't like it. 

Its not about that also, java has a big big community that can keep it alive for decades, these marketplace addons arent gonna last very long because they are limited, you must edit the main mc bedrock code to make Custom AI or you can make it with functions, but it is hard, so java wins no matter what.

Problem is if Microsol decides to yank the servers, not only will we have no skins and no authentication, but anyone who hasn't already downloaded the version of Minecraft they want to play will have to grab it from the High Seas.

​@@GSBarlev not sure about the other two issues, but people will definitely make custom skin servers. Just look at games like toontown online for example, communities will make things they love accessable again

I'd say if mojang got rid of java, some communities will make custom updates for it, and they would make it better than the mojang itself

​@@GSBarlev pirate java did solved all this long ago

A little bit Tiny Desk for me...

Yup so many better creators making free addons than the marketplace

hi

yeah

It was a map not a mod

I play both bedrock and java, one thing I will say is that java is the quality version, bedrock is the mass market cash grab version. So many of the minor things that you notice in java, that make the game feel better, so many of it's quirks, features, etc, are just missing in bedrock I don't know what it is exactly, but java is more fun for some reason. It could be that I have a different setup for my computer vs my PlayStation, or it could be that bedrock is too disconnected despite trying to be the same game. Maybe java reminds me of the old console editions I used to play before bedrock. I really don't know.

I once downloaded a furniture add-on and the stuff started walking away XD

@@jwalster9412 Bedrock is the GTA V for PS3, while Java has always been the GTAV for PS4 (because of higher processing power in general) but Java is not a good engine for how large minecraft is getting, or at the very least.. with how poorly they optimize their code.. then the large host of java related performance issues aside from code optimization

That's kinda funny actually

That protects us from shitty scam mods like you get on bedrock but it's a shame that legit mod creators can't get any compensation for their work

So your in favor of a marketplace on Java? because that is what it would come down to. Marketplace creators get ~60% cut, the other 40% to Mojang. Otherwise, creators can have their files behind a subscription to the creator, but in no means suggest that they're buying them through that process.

@@IIIllllIlllIIIIllllllIIIIII it is a very unpopular opinion for a marketplace on Java, everyone is fighting against it because they believe mods should be free. I like the access to free mods, but they've only ever been that way because it's infringement of the IP owner. I wish it would become a more popular opinion, because it also gives an avenue for mods being consistently updated as well.

@@outregis mods should always be free with an option to donate. Mod with money no one gonna use or buy, its unethical and just greedy.

are you this stupid mods should be free not paid mods

There's a furniture mod on bedrock that has usable things that are also blocks and not entities

​@@sirmonkeyton2166name?

I remember playing a free map on bedrock a few years ago, it was an official free map by Minecraft, and the one thing I hated was that they added details like lamp post and signs to the map, but they were literally just frozen entities you couldn't kill unless you went into creative and killed them with /kill. Alot of the maps on bedrock do this and it's very crude. Also 90% of them you can break and go into creative just by setting the random tic speed to 0 and removing the command blocks under the map that set your game mod to adventure. I did this several times and found out that the free maps are usually thrown together messes with a lot of broken and unfinished bits. If that's the quality you get from the free maps you can't expect any better from paid ones.

I’ve always hated it, the way bedrock pretends to be open and better for creators but ends up being limited. Everything is just entities

There was a time when it was possible to modify the game thanks to the Blocklauncher

Agreed

Another thing is that I got scammed by a size changing mod because you have to be in 3rd person and it's not fun also all the good mods cost money

@@SeverenR-du9bl You can just download mods from websites for free just like you can in java. If you play on console though, then idk what you can do

Fun part is i can't even download free ones it's stuck on 0mb...

They don't need to turn into EA to be an evil corporation. They're already Microsoft.

​@@nixel1324 all Microsoft needs to do is abbreviate and they are evil.

Yes but the problem is you're essentially encouraging slavery and/or functional communism. Those creators get nothing back from those unless people support their Patreon (They've done studies to test that type of system on no matter what the context is, a money pot can never and will never work because people are just too selfish, and when they see that nobody else is supporting, they don't either), yet the masses demand more and more and are outraged when they don't get their way. When you're the most downloaded game in the entirety of human history, you're not going to make ANY money by catering to the people that already own the (on time purchase) game, and you'll eventually go out of business. This is why Mojang sold themselves to Microsoft. This is why Geometry Dash v2.2 took 8 years to come out. This is why Terraria ended yet failed twice to make a sequel game that the devs felt would satisfy the Terraria playerbase. This is why the garbage that is Call of Duty MW3 exists in the first place, to make something that requires continuous purchase rather than a 1 time thing, because less people will buy a new game then people that will spend money to get more of the game they already love. So many games, (not just mod creators), and even full studios completely go under because people demand so much that the effort required to keep the game afloat becomes more then the income made from it. No I am not supporting Mojang's decision to introduce Add-Ons, by the way. It's corrupt and greedy by all means, yet it wouldn't exist if people weren't willing to be a part of it. I'm explaining why creators are forced to flock to it despite its flaws anyways.

My biggest problem with bedrock cosmetics is that changing models (eg, fox ears) is limited to that marketplace portion. The mods/maps/texturepacks are more more complicated and much MUCH worse, as it will encourage spamming with content that does not have to be good, only popular at the moment, and people in the MC target age will pay for it. It's gonna be a matter of time before repeat of Faithful drama, with someone porting a mod to marketplace they had no rights to monetize. Honestly? As long as Java edition will still be available to download, it will only result in the ultimate version to port mods to, the way it happened with KSP for example. most of the advancement in modding was not because the game is advances, but because people put more time into it. Oh and don't listen to the other guy. While yes, making mods quickly becomes a second job, No modder I know mods for the money, but to make the game better. Hell, even having your mod closed source was frowned upon, and those few payed mods (before they were closed) were complete taboo.

the issue they don't understand is that 99%+ of people will not be staying for bedrock only, because Vintage Story already exists. If microsoft wants to learn how to have a viable business model in 2024, they should learn to make a product, instead of stealing from taxpayers.@@autistic_potato1037

I'm so tired of this perception that Java is somehow empirically more loved 🤣 The VAST majority are on Bedrock, and aren't as hyper concerned about it potentially being their main focus down the line (We're talking way down the line, because there really is no issue with having both at the moment. It just depends when Java Coding becomes to complex or the software kicks the bucket) but above all, you really think that if there was a push to only Bedrock, that there wouldn't be a massive community that rallies behind makin free Bedrock mods viable?

@@outregis people like Minecraft in general, and becasue MS is pushing bedrock version for both PC and consoles, it is understandable that there are more players there (tho it's not "vast majority"). This artificial seperation is arbitrary, as the whole point of java is that it can run on basically any device (with leading theory being that it was corporate decision from the start to seperate EULAs of those games). If Minecraft was the way Bedrock was from the start it would not retain my interest for this long. And yes, I do believe there would not be a push for bedrock mods even if MS decided to completely stop selling Java edition. My reasoning is two fold: 1) Bedrock modding is limited to datapack-like structure and API, which is fine for simpler blocks or entities, but falls short when you want to change more about your game. Hell even chairs showcased in video are actually entities not blocks, and apparently this is typical for those mods, and I would fear for the performance of a any type of factory build as entities. 2) Java will continue to exist as you can't kill it as a game that doesn't rely on central server to run. So all those modders that already put a lot of work into their mods will be unwilling to move to Bedrock even it it was technically possible. This is showcased by the fact how mods are really unwilling to change modloaders and some mods will just die on version change. You may argue that Bedrock would have only one modloader and better version compatibility but you won't get old java mods for bedrock AND EVEN if you don't care about old mods, the quality of modding will not come as easy. Java mods are so great now because people were constantly trying to out-do each other, where Bedrock modding is on the level from like 15 years ago, the beta days of MC.

Actually true, granted they very visibly see it this way but ta least they're not doing it to java (*yet*)

That's a view I never thought about. Nice!

As much as I’d like to agree, it’s an EULA for a reason. End User being the key term; Microsoft/Mojang aren’t end user, so they’re allowed to do whatever they like

To be fair, you probably need the 377 pounds for a good PC setup to run RLcraft

Never has Mojang said it was impossible. It’s rather that they hated the easy access to the debug menu. As someone learning to game dev myself, I do understand, F3 can become a crutch and you often don’t want to give players crutches that change the experience the way F3 tends to. A debug menu is after all a developer tool. Java has it because it started out being developed with the community so players needed it to test for stuff. But that isn’t really the state of affairs today. It does suck that the developer version isn’t really accessible, though. Definitely blocks some ability to get started out, although I suppose that’s what sites like MCPEDL are for… Nah, who am i kidding, they’re just getting Java modders to join, it doesn’t really feel like they’re thinking hard about how to give new modders an in to start learning addon development.

​@@WhatIsMyPorpoiseNah, it's an excuse. They could easily implement the extra F3 info as part of "allow cheats", so it would be a tool instead of a crutch, and many other ways, but Mojang is at a state where they do the bare minimum for free just to shovel all their paid content

you are all mistaken, mojang doesn't want to give f3 to bedrock players because babies don't understand it, remember mojang officially said that minecraft is a kids exclusive game that is also why they had beef with modders after Microsoft took over, Microsoft hates when people use their products in a way they are not suppose to and they slowly take away your ability to do anything on their systems

I'm wondering what the split between what mojang gets and what the mod devs get

People are not allowed to share nda content because it would cause damages to Mojang and marketplace. Think about it. If mojang told us things ahead of time, let's say a year or two, everyone would be complaining that its taking so long to come out.

Surely not, right? 👀

its for minecraft education edition

Or, alternatively not approving of add-ons that contain something they're planning to add later if it's too similar

Thankfully there is 3rd party loaders, but they are a pain to use

You wont *need* to encounter those issues though as its a mod system that doesn't work by modifying the games code. It uses an API mojang themselves keeps up-to-date. The assumption is that as long as they keep it up to date and functioning an older addon will still work. The biggest problem here is that we are not yet out of the era of the Addon API being drastically changed, not everything is figured out yet so this is probably going to lead to a wave of outdated addons very shortly.

Porting java mods to newer version when you are developer is just few clicks in mcreator. But on bedrock you don't need update to newer version.

@@villagecool6409 you don't need this. Just dowload addon and double click.

No that's just wrong. On the surface I guess I can see the similarities but the BE modding API is so much more easier and quicker to use. I'm sorry but when you have to make animations using separate models for each frame or you cant add custom particles to the game or anything like that addons are better by a long shot. Don't get me wrong I love datapacks. There cool and fun and all but really hard to get into and actually make good stuff with especially considering that most datapacks that are high quality are pretty small content wise Addons Are Better.

@@CrazymodGD addons you mean Mods that we know and Love in Java right?

@@friendlyfire3412 This is probably going to start an argument but no im talking about addons for bedrock edition. Not the marketplace ones. The FREE and GOOD addons for bedrock edition.

@@CrazymodGDHe wasn't comparing the usability but the possibilities. Add-Ons have essentially only the same features as Datapacks because you can't add new or overwrite code. You can't even add real blocks or items, biomes, dimensions etc. It's not possible. Essentially the features of a datapack and the add-ons are the same even if the addons are quicker to setup and use.

@@umbreonben Yes you can add all of those things and they are not at all the same. First of all with data packs you cant make custom mobs. You have to tie a armor stand to a regular mob and do a wacky strange animation system of constantly making separate models for every frame. Second of all right click detection using data packs is INSANE levels of limited where you have to use a carrot on a stick instead of just making a weapon and adding right click detection to it. Third of all data packs and blocks are WAY more wacky and buggy than regular blocks as you have to use ITEM FRAMES so there will always be a problem with placing the block. They are nowhere near the same and the only thing datapacks have over addons is NBT which isnt needed at all on bedrock edition because of holiday creator features and dimensions which are still creatable with addons its just much harder. Come back to me when you guys have a real crafting system and a sensible animation system because you have clearly never looked at ANY actual addon.

you can actually just load cc content like a normal mod if you "acquire it" via some means since that's all it is

that's because right now trying to create GUI is a headache on bedrock, they are constantly changing the code for it every hotfix for the new UI. You can definitely make chairs actually blocks though, i'm guessing it's only an entity so you can sit on it. You can also make basic world generation

yes I know that made me so annoyed when I was testing out some add ons, like why does it have to be an entity? Do you really need the little quirky animation?

Yeah, we straight up have 3 separate definitions for add-ons in the Minecraft space now and 2 of them are official. 1) An add-on is a mod that specifically builds on top of an already existing mod. 2) An add-on is a datapack style addition you add while setting up a new Bedrock Edition world. 3) An add-on is meant to be the Bedrock Edition equivalent of a Java mod, capable of being added to already existing worlds. What's even better is that there is no add-on tab in the world creation menu, you are apparently meant to toss that stuff into "behavior packs" (correct me if I'm wrong) and Mojang failed to accompany the addition of the add-on category in the marketplace with the ability to filter for add-ons as a content pack type.

@@SpunkMayoBethesda added their paid mods long before they were bought by microsoft.

@@AutTheWizard which makes me wonder if it's not Bethesda people that suggested this idea for MC.

They have been working on this for over 10 months

​@@hehasnolips1371I don't think you understand. EULA has a section about mods and how you can't monetize them. However it only applies to Java edition. And people knew it will head in that direction from the very get go, even before marketplace for worlds and later texturepacks was announced. I don't remember specifics, but I remember people talking about how restrictive original EULA was about monetization not only for modders and servers, but also Mojang themself. Them making bedrock gave them clean slate to f** people out of their money as much as they want. Some modders want to be payed, as it's almost a second job for them, but I will bet you that there are gonna be broken and low effort addons that will get all the money becasue funny amogus of whatever.

I like the idea that several of these first wave add-ons are either directly free or have a free lite version to play around with. If that is how they are going to handle things, I'd be much less opposed to the idea of paid mods for anyone who doesn't have a PC. However, I don't know if these freebies are actually a decision by the marketplace creators themselves or if Mojang is just using it for this first wave only as a marketing strategy.
