What… are we just a penguin and Apple Trees…
For real, though, I wish Microsoft (mojang does…) cared enough to support Linux for BE.
What is going on?
Take it that your instance didn’t cache the image? 😂. I deleted the image and post due to me thinking it was a bad post and meme. Turns out, I was wrong lol 😝
Its just three dots for me
Yeah, I’d like to be able to set my kids up with Bedrock because that’s the version most other kids play, and it would be great for them to be able to play on servers together. I have run the Android version on Linux in the past using a community launcher, and it worked flawlessly with a mouse and keyboard. But I think there was an authentication change that prevents that from working anymore. It’s very frustrating that they have a Linux version, but they just won’t let us use it.
most kids play java tho?
To clarify, the kids that my kids meet at school who want to play Minecraft with them almost exclusively play Bedrock, often on ipads.
One of these days I may get around to trying running a server with GeyserMC which purportedly extends a Java server to let Bedrock users connect.
Not if they play on switch, xbox or phone
“you can play on PC”… I know I shouldn’t have bought a Linux microwave to play games…
tbh it does say “for Windows”
also couldn’t some hacking with wine/proton make it run?
It was in Java before, right? How come it doesn’t run on linux anymore?
It’s not in the picture, but this is referring to the bedrock version. Officially “Minecraft” referrs to this edition.
They reimplemented it in C++, funnily enough to port it to more platforms (mobile and consoles).
They do still also develop the Java edition. I don’t think, they can afford the shitstorm to deprecate that, as their core fanbase is on that, with all the mods and community servers.
why do you want to play the inferior bedrock version in the first place?
it has missing features and the ones that do work are somewhat buggy.
bedrock has better server netcode tho iirc.Crossplay with console gamers. We played on Bedrock for a long time until we built the kid’s first PC.
Just play Java edition. It’s superior, and does support crossplay, no matter what anyone tells you. Officially between Windows, Linux, and MacOS, natively on Android with Pojav Launcher, and with the geyserMC mod, to any device that runs bedrock edition.
Pollymc
There are tricks to launch the Android version on Linux, but Java edition is mostly better anyways
Java for the win i say.
I didn’t know this was a thing. Linux can run android apps?
Building a translation layer for Android applications is easier on Linux since their bases are similar. (Android is an operating system based on Linux)
Why not use the Java version? Bedrock sucks anyway. I use ATLauncher to launch the Java edition.
What’s even good about Bedrock edition? Been playing since the 1.7.x days, and Java edition has been consistently superior in my view. If nothing else, it’s better because the table with the floating book is called the Enchanting Table.
Bedrock has a few unique mechanics (large fish, potion cauldrons, etc.) but is also much more buggy. I’ve always liked JE more.
There’s probably a mod for that…
Multiple, I think
Check Out the PE (pocket edition) launcher. If you have a license on the Google play store at least. It’s actually not half-bad, runs smoothly and has the regular amount of m&k as well as controller support
The Extend in EEE doesn’t mean they port Microsoft exclusives to other platforms
Take a look at [email protected]. An open source version of minecraft.
