On this day 10 years ago, Microsoft acquired #Minecraft developer Mojang for US$2.5 billion.

In a blog post announcing the purchase, Owen Jones wrote: "Everything is going to be OK. <3"

Ten years later, Mojang now has been part of Microsoft almost twice as long as it has been independent.

It's interesting to look back at the original announcement video from Xbox as well:

You forgot bedrock marketplace and chat reporting, altho I would say that over all it wasn't bad (the acquisition)

[–] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago
  • and all other minecraft related products, like story mode, dungeons, ledgends, and earth

I havent yet seen a minecraft server that allows chat reporting

[–] TinyShonk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a plug-in though, there's no way to do it in vanilla.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

There is a boolean in the server.proprieties files that, if i understand correctly, makes the server unable to verify your messages and disables chat reporting

Bedrock marketplace is fully optional though. If you run Bedrock on a PC or Android phone, you can literally install worlds, skins, addons and texturepacks from the internet. They actually have their own installation mechanism (once you have made a texture pack for example, rename it from packname.zip to packname.mcpack , then clicking it will launch Minecraft and install it)

The only place where you cannot do this is on console... Which you weren't able to do on the 4j version either.

Also, if someone on PC has a bedrock world open with custom sideloaded packs and add-ons, etc, and someone from console joins them, they work as normal for the person on console, which is pretty neat.

Bedrock is a mess. Absolutely wild the things it wants you to pay for.
