What… are we just a penguin and Apple Trees…

For real, though, I wish Microsoft (mojang does…) cared enough to support Linux for BE.

    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.

      from my experience, most kids play java tho?

      mostly it’s the only version that:

      1. takes 3 clicks to pirate (not everyone does that, but this is a contributing factor)
      2. available on pc

      bedrock is mostly used by mobile (android/ios) players, which makes up a rather small market share

        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.
