[STUPID JOKE BY MOJANG] Minecraft is now officially dead

Postby migdyn » Mon Apr 01, 2019 9:52 pm

UPDATE: Looks like Mojang thought that it would be a good idea to make a fake Minecraft version to "celebrate" an annual celebration commemorated on April 1st by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes

Mojang just published the last version of Minecraft ever. It's called Minecraft 3D

Yes, I know, it's really hard to believe. Minecraft was a very popular game and now they wont to discontinue it?
Quote from MINECRAFT.NET:

Programmers of previous epochs have already figured out everything,” explains Bartosz Bok. “This can easily be proven by observing that only old games are good, and nothing worthwhile has been released in the last decade. We are no longer going to muck our code with all those unwanted spatial dimensions.

This may be a joke, but you can never be sure. Microsoft has a history of acquring companies, running them for about 3 years and then changing their product for worse

Minecraft, or better, its Java code, is far too valuable to MS Hololens. The entire media campaign is built around being able to put your MC build on your coffee table, and watching Alex kick Steve off the edge of Gates of Paul....

Well, they basically killed the freely available version ("Java Edition") and force people to use Windows 10 for newer versions of Minecraft ("Bedrock Edition").

One thing that worries me is the fact that this
page says that Minecraft 3D was written in Turbo Pascal, why does it say "JAVA EDITION" in the main menu, then?

He probably meant BETTER versions of Minecraft, not newer... Better for data collection

Are they mad? This is what MC developers wrote:

Beautifully 2D-rendered models, featuring progenitor mobs, such as sheep™ and cow™

It's weird that they managed to trademark basic English words.

On the other hand: A broadcasting company has trademark on the word "sky" and a telecommunication provider copyrighted a color.
