I just found some on reddit. What other communities are out there? I’m digging through the 3d print sharing websites but those never feel particularly… community oriented or really communicative at all.

Those upcycled cassette tape cases are sweet! Whoever came up with that idea is my new favorite person.

My solution is: no, I will not buy bedrock. I got it for free on xbox gamepass but only my kid plays that and I dont let him use money on microtransactions. Also I wont buy any extensions to my gamepass subscription. When that’s done, it’s done.

I suspect the real answer is because Microsoft wanted to monetize Minecraft in a way which was not possible with legacy sales. I bought minecraft back in alpha with the promise that I would get any and all updates and future editions for free with purchase. Microsoft legal saw that agreement and knew it was incompatible with their business goals. They knew that incorporating a microtransaction store would basically require unlimited currency for players like me who had purchased it long ago. So the “simple” answer was to re-implement the entire game without the legal encumbrance of the legacy purchases.
