What's included

1 texture pack

Gross

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Don’t forget the mine coins!

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Tired of microtransactions? Wanna install (better) mods, and any texture pack you please? Just play the Java edition.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

PolyMC is great for java edition.

[–] WerDei@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Don't use PolyMC. Prism Launcher is a fork without the crazy lead dev that kicks developers for being queer, and is a better launcher anyway.

[–] Willie@kbin.social 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, you get to pick your cat in Prism.

[–] WerDei@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Or a mouse <- this user is a big Teawie enjoyer

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah ok, I didn't know the lore.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

PollyMC (2 L's) will let you run Minecraft Java without having an account, but I don't recommend doing this because you should support the developers and Microsoft really needs the money

Minetest on sale for 100% off.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Same with the cool little adventure game Veloren.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Not returning ever since they forced microshit

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I left after the Java chat/sign/whatever filtering controversy. Never got into bedrock edition, so I never had to worry about it. Don't know if they backed down on it, though.

And the microtransactions are also absolutely abhorrent as well. Never felt with them, but I don't know a single sane person who actually like them.

How else are you supposed to play Minecraft?

Edit: are we talking Java edition?

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Mojang is owned by Microsoft. Both versions of the game are developed by Mojang which is beholden to what Microsoft's goals for the game are.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I don't like Microsoft but don't think I can run away from Minecraft. Got a server with my friends and I really like the game. What would even touch it as a competitor or alternative?

[–] Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Closest is Terraria. 2D, yes, but very expansive and tons of content

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, I've easily got 10x the time in Terraria vs MC.

I wish the maps were bigger though.

[–] 520@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

Minetest. The game is way more open and customisable, and you can add in whatever rulesets you like.

[–] kaputter_Aimbot@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago

The Android version is on sale, too.

$1.99 (excl. VAT) / 2.19€ (incl. VAT)

Tap for spoilerIt was 7.99€ before; don't know about the US prices

And there is also the free (as in beer and in freedom) VoxeLibre.

It was formerly known as MineClone2 and runs on the also FOSS Minetest game engine.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Any point in Minecraft instead of minetest with a mod?
