Yeah honestly that's all you really need to do unless you're running some gay ass public server, in which case there's bound to be copious monetization. I only ever saw one server that didn't actually have any.
 
A leak happened. Mostly a nothing burger. Putting it here for posterity.

I'm impressed you ever saw that, even. Was it 13+ years ago when the rampant monetization was slightly more contained?

Definitely not "slightly more contained" it is absolutely rampant. Even the fucking marketplace has you go through another MTX through a "pass" from some servers or something. Java is plagues by it horrifically.

This is true, but I will also add some additional information as well for both posterity's and curiosity's sake.

January 2025 Mojang Minecraft Leaks Effort Post​


Background:​

Approximately a month ago, reddit user u/Successful-Meat-5632 (Archive) posted to the r/LeaksAndRumors subreddit a picture of what appeared to be a title to some kind of Minecraft adjacent project called 'SPICEWOOD' (Reddit | Archive). Then 5 days ago, the OP posted an Imgur link (Archive) of the original document the Spicewood screenshot came from.

Analysis:​

This first picture is a zoomed-in screenshot from the content overview picture (posted below). The white text above the orange 'SPICEWOOD' text appears to be similar in style to the font language used in the Minecraft enchanting table, AKA 'Standard Galactic Alphabet'. However, using the 'Illageralt' alphabet featured in Minecraft: Dungeons, others were able to translate the text to 'vertical slice' (a professional project management term). This term has also supposedly been mentioned in previous posts by Mojang employees so it has some precedent.

This first picture is the main leaked document that is the center of recent discussion. It shows projected Minecraft projects, events, collaborations, updates, etc. As both @my penis is on fire and @reptile baht spaniard rid stated, its contents are exceptionally vague and rather lackluster. The large black censor bar across the screen is blocking out the watermarked name of the original leaker. The second photo was made by another redditor (u/CaramelCraftYT) as a higher resolution remake of the original leak photo with the censor bar and watermarks removed.

TL;DR:​

An internal MC content release timeline was leaked online showcasing several years worth of Mojang and Minecraft projects. The content of the leak was unsurprising and unimpressive. Minecraft fans didn't have a strong reaction one way or the other.

Feel free to give me my well-deserved puzzle pieces. I spent way too much time on this post for what was actually featured in the leak

Might want to reread my post lol. I'm well aware of the state of this stuff in the modern day.

Man, all those dazzling updates full of wonders, yet they all feel soulless and corporate. Yeah it's well-built, polished, and has some thought put into it... until they exploit it by making giant redstone machines... New dungeons, weapons, biomes, mob skins, they would've been gladly embraced 10 years ago, especially when it was still a jank but soulful game.

You want a slightly polished and soulful sandbox survival game? Play Vintage Story, they finally added ropes for your pig stretching action. Also boats, and more dungeons!

Apparently the Technoblade skin is banned:
My first thought was that it was probably mass reported and banned automatically instead of under manual review. Though officially they've stated that all skin bans are manual so that's out the window. Bedrock is a shitshow. Also FUUUUUUUUCK I made a big ass effort post but for some reason it didn't post and everything was removed, I ain't doing that shit again so just have a fucking link (symbol looks like a Ludd symbol lol). Spent two hours on that shit.
Anyway, fireflies, one pixel...holy shit that had my crying. Every single other mod that added fireflies BTFO'd Mojang over here. Even the Twilight Forest did fireflies better.

Vintage Story is so fucking awesome.
I feel like Minecraft did its purpose as a stepping stone, and is now largely outdated. Mojang doesn't want to do anything about it, the community will screech that you "Can't enjoy video games, because you grew up!" or "Are playing the game wrong!", and, sure, grew up and realized that while it was great when it began, it's bland now.

Are you guys all pathetic console faggots who never heard of mods and modpacks?

Vintage Story started out as a Minecraft modpack and they then branched off to make their own game once they realized that they had outgrown Minecraft's processing ability and general programming expectations. That's a really oversimplified version of events but that's the main idea.

Minecraft wants to be too many things at once, and I think thats ultimately why it gets so critiqued.
the biggest thing Minecraft had going for it is that its a sandbox building game first, with minor survival mechanics. if I had to point to the reason why its so popular, this would be it. If it stuck to that and didn't try to appeal to a bunch of other demographics I dont think it'd be in the situation it is now.

sandbox building game

The dirty secret with all sandbox games is the best uses are sandbox but the players rarely play it as such.

People love watching Minecraft builders make immense and massive buildings, but the average player dicks around in survival, makes a dirt hut, and eventually gets bored.

Same thing with Simcity and factorio and even dorf fortress. Sure, once you get past the “game” hurdle (money, space, food, etc) you can in theory do whatever mega project you want (massive city, mega base, mega project) but most people get bored and restart or move on.

One thing to meditate on: most mod packs get you “all the blocks” of vanilla Minecraft relatively early on, but few mod pack players ever really bother building massive “cool buildings”. The featured YouTube ones are often crazy building X but most players live in “minimal dirt box hut large enough to hold everything”. What keeps the average player moving forward is the quest progression. (This is seen in WoW where max level gameplay is basically the same as mid level gameplay.)

Microsoft is stuck in the enviable position of being the biggest game ever made - they don’t want to turn it into “modded Minecraft” but also don’t want it to stop changing whatsoever.

Ignore last patch release. Get excited for new snapshot! Furry cows!
