As many others have pointed out, Microsoft made Minecraft shit. 10 - 15 years ago it was an awesome little game. Loved to play it with my friends on our server. Somebody was always online and you could talk, hang out, explore or do a project together.

Nowadays you open it and it has a shop and some ingame currency and weird collabs with popular IPs. That’s simply not what Minecraft used to be and whenever I watch a modern trailer for it, I wanna throw up.

Java edition, my friend.

I have been playing Minecraft with a small group of friends on a self-hosted private server on and off for the past 15 years. No ads, no coin shop, no annoyance.

As for the screaming YouTubers, obviously they exist, but there are also some nice chill peeps out there. EthosLab or Bdoubleo100 for example - especially their single player worlds where it’s just them working on projects and building.

Have you all tried Luanti? I’ve randomly stumbled upon it when I was looking for open source games for Android. I’m not a Minecraft player so I can’t tell if it’s any good.

  I tried it a few times and did not like it very much. Like lots of open source games it was not all that well designed and lacked identity and direction. As the other person said, it might be a fun sandbox though.

    I’m not sure I understand you.
    
    Java edition is also developed by Mojang/Microsoft and is basically identical to the bedrock edition in core features.
    
    It was the original Minecraft edition, and if you remember playing Minecraft 10 to 15 years ago it would likely be the Java edition you were doing it on.

    They asked about Luanti and my comment was about that

  I tried it maybe a year ago. It works as a sandbox, but it’s kind of empty compared to Minecraft and the environments are much less varied. There’s just a lot more to do in Minecraft.
