Minecraft

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
they took a game you could install and do anything you want with and play multiplayer directly on each other's computers, to another live service you can get banned from. Microsoft's C-level executives should be nailed to a fucking cross.
That's only the case for bedrock edition. For Java you can at least do singleplayer until the ban expires, and even then, you'd need to go out of your way to get banned in the first place.
 
Basically, it explains how the sky is blue and water is wet.
It was always weird that M$ was supporting a game for both Mac and Linux. I don't like the clickbait-y way this guy presents his points but they are definitely legitimate.
I would also have liked him to touch on the leaked Mojang led astroturfing campaign for the text censorship (although that was completely memory holed on social media due to "muh harassment")

I don't think I've ever said this publically but I've always believed this: If Minecraft didn't exist, modding as a whole would already be dead.
Minecraft taught an entire generation of children about modding and private servers. That isn't something you can easily walk back ...but they're certainly trying!
I genuinely wonder if notch started to receive credible threats when he decided he was going to teach the world's children assembly code; and that's why 0x10c was killed off.
 
So they don't ban for saying nigger or calling someone a faggot?
I wish. They are even worse and I've heard they ban for the stupidest of reasons. You can't play Minecraft without some special mods to prevent from being reported anymore. The whole system is stupid and horribly implemented. I've even heard there was an issue where being banned would prevent you from playing singleplayer too at one point, but I'm unsure if that's true or not.

IIRC you can only get banned from singleplayer on bedrock, java won't ban you from singleplayer but the chat moderation applies to Singleplayer for some reason.

No, you can be banned for that, but that can be easily mitigated by not saying it or playing in a server where people are cool with slur slinging.

This is a block game. Saying a slur on most servers before all this got you banned anyway, so how is the chat reporting system any different?

What kind of reasons? In the minecraft subreddit, some of the users posted their "ban" actually faked theirs in order to perpetuate the outrage (this being proven by the some users pointing out the ban times not being possible and the OPs refusing to further elaborate on what they were banned for).

You only get banned from singleplayer on Bedrock (because the game is always online even on singleplayer). Java is fine in that regard.

The new system is different because im pretty sure you get global banned from multiplayer, the same way you would on any other game, not just from one server. That is what i believe to be the case but i dont know what theyve changed since the first implementation so please correct me if wrong.
and even then, you'd need to go out of your way to get banned in the first place.
Not really, with the amount of young kids, fags, troons, mentally ill individuals dominating multiplayer servers now you can and will get reported for just about anything, where a bot likely runs some sort of sentiment check on your previous chats and bans you if youve said anything considered even slightly offensive (i could have just combined the latter 3 demographics but i didnt to make my argument look stronger)

If you get banned via mojang you are fully banned from the server browser and realms, you can't access online at all, thats one of my biggest issues with it is that its a service wide ban.
 
they retroactively took a 16 year old game and made it gay because there's a concerted effort to centralize absolutely fucking everything. the children of this generation will inherit a bunch of subscriptions to classic games that no longer exist, cannot be sold, and are illegal to find pirate copies of.

this faggoting of art should be met with incredible hatred but it's just accepted because 95% of people don't have souls.

Because before I could make a server where people were 'cool with slur slinging' by just deciding that my server was cool with slur slinging. It was running on my hardware, so the server and its rules were up to me. I could invite anyone I wanted to, and I could comfortably know that if someone disagreed with the server culture I could just tell them to fuck off. Now I have to worry about any potential member tattling on me to Mojang/Microsoft. I have to install mods to make it impossible to report tweets, and have to keep up on any updates that Mojang/Microsoft makes to counteract any such mods. I have to worry that, even if tweets can't be reported, someone could infiltrate the server, take screenshots, and start a social media campaign about some ridiculous TOS or Community guidelines being violated - both of which I was forced to agree with after buying this game from a different company almost a decade ago.

All of that fucking chafes. I should not have to act or feel like a dodgy criminal selling drugs on the black market in order to make and maintain a server where people can call each other fags while playing a block game. It's ludicrous.
 
so it can be mitigated by going out of my way and not having fun. gotcha.
If your only real way of having fun in this block game is shoot slurs than I don't know to tell you. Also, didn't I just say you could join servers where the players are cool with it?

The global ban is still the same, as far as I know, but the system has been tweaked to make getting banned in the first place difficult (one example being that general swearing isn't a bannable offense anymore).
Not really, with the amount of young kids, fags, troons, mentally ill individuals dominating multiplayer servers now you can and will get reported for just about anything, where a bot likely runs some sort of sentiment check on your previous chats and bans you if youve said anything considered even slightly offensive (i could have just combined the latter 3 demographics but i didnt to make my argument look stronger)
That's not how the system works. Mojang have a moderation team that reads the reports made, check for the context and notice if anyone is trying to exploit the system.

The official Twitter account even made a statement about the amount of exploits being attempted on the first week the system was made public.

It was accepted because, when it was announced initially, people made it seem like the sky was going to fall (which was understandable at the time, tbf). Now that it's here and nothing of note has occurred since, most people stopped caring.
 
Installing the Planes Mod onto me and my friend's server over a decade ago felt like a real achievement, and although it didn't inspire me to become a programmer or anything, it taught me how cool computers are and how there's real value in learning to operate them properly. It's autistic as fuck to admit but I wouldn't be 1/100th as computer literate if it wasn't for the time I spent modding as a child. I know moving files in and out of %appdata% isn't very complicated but most kids and teenagers these days would have an aneurysm trying to figure that shit out.

No one ever makes cool things for kids anymore. Everything kid related is designed to turn them into a fag and steal their parent's money, and the older I get the more I appreciate Minecraft for being completely devoid of all that bullshit. Minecraft was awesome to play with as a kid and I'm thankful to Markus Persson for giving me those tools :) If the world was filled with more autists like Notch it would be a kinder place.

a big part of growing up for me was having to find out how the fuck port forwarding works just so i could host a minecraft server for me and my friends at the time. while i sucked ass at it, i had enough motivation and assistance to get it done and felt super proud of myself for achieving that.

recently i've ended up in a position where i had to teach people how to do this, and kids these days do not understand a single fucking thing about tech or networking and refuse to lift even a finger to learn.
i could walk them through it, give them live assistance and steps, and unless i literally handhold them through the process, they'll eventually give up and try to find a "free hosting" service that restricts what they can and cannot do on their server, then have the gall to ask me if i can fix their servers shit performance despite it running on 512mb of memory and a CPU being shared between at least ten other server processes.

the big problem from what i can gather is that everything even remotely "techie" is seen as scary, because all modern computing devices are built as padded cells where it is very, very difficult to fuck up, and as a result makes it difficult to do anything yourself without the device just deciding to automate it for you.
to them, giving the address of 192.168.0.1 WILL lead to them getting hacked; to them, going onto their routers page is scary and daunting; to them, changing a few strings in a config file is "too much work"; TO THEM, the idea of moving files into the right directories is hackerman level shit.

Man, I take my tech spergery for granted. I basically grew up on computers, never owned a console, and I remember that in 2011, when I managed to install pirated Minecraft Beta 1.3_01 I basically instantly went into modding. Though I think at that point I was already well versed in file managing, but still, me growing up first on a Windows 98 FE laptop, then on a Windows XP PC probably taught me a lot by just fucking around. I still have my very first Minecraft world and many of those old Beta mods because of how that WinXP PC had a 20GB HDD and I had to constantly move things onto pendrives because I refused to delete shit, which is still a habit that I have today.

And to this day I still do things in a very convoluted way. I use a custom start menu, I use a custom search program, I use a custom keyboard launcher, I use a custom file manager, and so on and so forth. Similarly my phone has a bunch of apps that additionally mod the user experience or just replace certain system apps. It's like I refuse to do things the conventional way and go out of my way to do things the way I deem to be the right way. And all of it was basically self-taught, much like most of my English skills, which I think got also developed by Minecraft by proxy, as I used to watch a lot of Yogscast as a kid, and I think that also helped me learn the language to an extent.

Lol this might be due to Microsoft's influence but Mojang itself has almost certainly been ideologically colonized at this point.
It wouldn't surprise me for a second if they think the only pushback they ever get is from transphobes, because seriously, this just screams "GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT REEEEEEEE" after the amount of shit the community has given them over recent decisions and the fact that certain autists can make better content in a week.
