      We wanted to make something like this for a long time ;) Just lately we had time for it.

      As you will probably see and guess it is aiming for a relaxed environment and less pvp focused.

        Bro minecraft isn’t for the young anymore. My office has a self-hosted server, lol. Not my thing, but I accept that playing minecraft makes people relaxed and happy

          Was it ever? I mean, they really pushed for it to be something little kids got into over the past 8 years or so, but when it came out everyone playing the alpha and beta etc for a few years there were us people around 18 :-D

          Everyone I know has played a good amount of Minecraft in the past, though to be honest not in recent years (so maybe the player base is more little kids now than it used to be on average? I have no idea).

            Minecraft is like virtual Lego. It’s fun for everybody of all ages but it’s always going to be particularly popular with the youngins

          I started playing in my late 30s when it was relatively new. Friend at work was playing it and showed me a video of somebody who built a computer in game. I was in.

        You’re literally called the Minecraft’s protagonist name. You ain’t fooling us. You’re just a kid trying to show how much they’ve “grown”

        The +1/-1 rule of immature mockery tells us that you’re 13 years of age.

      grief alert would only become more moderator work. As it would just notify instead of really claiming anything and you would have to dig down to bedrock and build it up to secure a chunk or some of it.

          Those things are not allowed just to claim randomly and building nothing. It will get abandoned automatically. ( or manually from an admin

          Assuming the claim plugin used on the server is GriefPrevention (the most common one), land claims by default get removed after a certain amount of time unless you have enough claim blocks (usually gained passively via active play on the server, and you need a lot of playtime going off the default config)

      yeah that’s my preferred way to play. it feels more like a community that way as opposed to a neighborhood run by an HOA lol. buuuut it is a lot to moderate so I understand why claims would be good for a server with a large playerbase

      I’ve been playing bedrock for a little while, but I’m new to servers. Is there a guide somewhere for claiming on bedrock?

          Seems to work, I went to chat, typed /createclaim or /claim …can’t remember which one, but it worked a treat. Playing on PS4, so vanilla as it comes.

    Is there an open source option to Minecraft? Some of the latest decisions Microsoft has been taking with it have been quite anti-consumer.

    What is the average age on this instance? Maybe I was too old already when Minecraft came out, but I thought it was a game for 10 year olds.

      Me and my army buddies all discovered the alpha version of Minecraft in 2011 while deployed in Afghanistan. One of our Intel guys brought it back on an external drive from R&R and we all installed it on our laptops. Soon, the entire camp was playing it when off shift, including old, crusty infantry platoon sergeants. It’s an ageless, timeless kind of game. Like someone else said, it’s like building stuff with Legos.

        it’s like building stuff with Legos.

        I got Minecraft when it was still in beta, for exactly that reason. I was in college, I had some free time, and I liked messing around with the demo - it reminded me of all of the fun I had playing with Legos as a kid. I think it cost me maybe $15?

        Now, a decade later, I still play it fairly often, and given all of the content that’s come out since then, it might be the most worthwhile $15 I’ve ever spent.

      If it was a game for 10 years old, and it’s been 10 years from release, then we get 20 years olds :) Also its like Lego, anyone can enjoy it

          I think you should make an effort to use open source whenever possible, even if it’s the inferior option. I don’t believe this out of any ethical or moral obligation - it’s purely selfish reasons. Any proprietary code that runs on your hardware is something you don’t control. For example, we really have no idea what kind of telemetry Microsoft put into Minecraft.

          You are essentially taking your hardware - something you physically own and belongs to you - and turning it into a mechanism for advancing the interests of a megacorporation. Me personally, I prefer my hardware to benefit me and me alone. I don’t want it sending data home to Microsoft so they can feed their AI models at my cost.

          The more proprietary software you run, the less and less you actually own your computer.

            Because it’s not Reddit, and is active enough.

            In terms of content Lemmy is definitely inferior to Reddit. So it is, it’s not very old and not very large compared to Reddit. But because of Reddit’s decisions, I’m here instead of there.

            You’re on Lemmy here. There is many people who actually care about privacy and telemetry doesn’t sit well with them. Many have been put off by the recent direction.

              We’re talking about video games here. Nobody is going to take you seriously when you are going to try and convince people that game is the foss Minecraft killer. Good job downvoting me on a week old post though.

                I’m not trying to convince folk at all. I’m stating a fact that many prefer it because of it being FOSS. I don’t think anyone could ever persuade you of anything. Btw, Karma doesn’t exist here. That and your toxic attitude are better found on reddit.

    Nice. I’d kinda like to see games like Minecraft become more like the Fediverse, where you could walk between worlds hosted on different servers in-game

      I’m pretty sure server connections themselves are mostly P2P so that would be difficult, might be doable though since there are plugins to allow hopping between multiple worlds on a single server but that’s very different than hopping between multiple servers.

        In fairness that task would likely fall on server hosters and server software maintainers as Microsoft and Mojang only provide the Authentication services and Game Jar file repository. They have little incentive to provide more than the bare minimum since their primary concern is updating and maintaining the game itself, servers are a secondary concern to them.

    I played minecraft with people on that other site, after they invited me to the 100somethingClub. And then some guy who told me he was high on cocaine kept greifing me for no reason.
