The funny thing about saying that bedrock will outlast Java is that it will likely outlast Java in support from Mojang but in terms of community support it’s basically impossible due to how much more freedom there is in it.
Its not about that also, java has a big big community that can keep it alive for decades, these marketplace addons arent gonna last very long because they are limited, you must edit the main mc bedrock code to make Custom AI or you can make it with functions, but it is hard, so java wins no matter what.
Problem is if Microsol decides to yank the servers, not only will we have no skins and no authentication, but anyone who hasn't already downloaded the version of Minecraft they want to play will have to grab it from the High Seas.
@@GSBarlev not sure about the other two issues, but people will definitely make custom skin servers.
Just look at games like toontown online for example, communities will make things they love accessable again
I'd say if mojang got rid of java, some communities will make custom updates for it, and they would make it better than the mojang itself
@@GSBarlev pirate java did solved all this long ago
If the official add-ons are not as good as the fan-made ones, then obviously no one will be happy about that
A little bit Tiny Desk for me...
Yup so many better creators making free addons than the marketplace
hi
yeah
These are just the starter mods to set a starting point for other creators, these is not going to be the only mods (probably)
I remember watching someone experiment with a PAID furniture mod and the furniture were killable entities where it's difficult to control what direction they face, which really pissed me off.
It was a map not a mod
I play both bedrock and java, one thing I will say is that java is the quality version, bedrock is the mass market cash grab version. So many of the minor things that you notice in java, that make the game feel better, so many of it's quirks, features, etc, are just missing in bedrock I don't know what it is exactly, but java is more fun for some reason. It could be that I have a different setup for my computer vs my PlayStation, or it could be that bedrock is too disconnected despite trying to be the same game. Maybe java reminds me of the old console editions I used to play before bedrock. I really don't know.
I once downloaded a furniture add-on and the stuff started walking away XD
@@jwalster9412 Bedrock is the GTA V for PS3, while Java has always been the GTAV for PS4 (because of higher processing power in general) but Java is not a good engine for how large minecraft is getting, or at the very least.. with how poorly they optimize their code.. then the large host of java related performance issues aside from code optimization
That's kinda funny actually
Ah yes. Slowly turning into a well known evil corporation wich name i will not say but certainly starts with an E and ends on A.
They don't need to turn into EA to be an evil corporation. They're already Microsoft.
mojang was never an evil corporation, its just that it was sold to microsoft like 5 years ago, and microsoft has slowly been corrupting mojang, pulling strings to make more profit...
@@Forthakinemojang has control over the game. Bedrock is microsofts brainchild, Java feels different because jeb took over development when notch sold and he has a different view for the game. Thats literally it. Its just jeb for java
@@funky555 jeb is the sole reason the mc community isnt just 100% brainrotted ipad children.
@@nixel1324 all Microsoft needs to do is abbreviate and they are evil.
The main problems with the marketplace is that most things aren’t good quality, they’re glitchy and game breaking, and cost more than they’re worth in a lot of cases. Mojang has an incredibly hard time controlling the quality of the base game, and it doesn’t seem like anyone puts time or effort into quality control of a lot of the marketplace things.
Agreed
Another thing is that I got scammed by a size changing mod because you have to be in 3rd person and it's not fun also all the good mods cost money
@@SeverenR-du9bl You can just download mods from websites for free just like you can in java. If you play on console though, then idk what you can do
Fun part is i can't even download free ones it's stuck on 0mb...
And the mods break completely after the next minecraft update because they don’t get updated.
Thank Gosh Bedrock exists as a place for Mojang to dump stuff like the Marketplace, otherwise Java would have been ruined a long time ago.
Actually true, granted they very visibly see it this way but ta least they're not doing it to java (*yet*)
That's a view I never thought about. Nice!
who is gosh and why are we thanking them
That's quiet literally just mod page but supported by mojang, you can still download addons outside of markeplace for free just like mods in Java
Evil josh @@nonwibb
What really bugs me is that Java mod devs can't charge money for their mods, but can on Bedrock. For example, the dev behind the Physics Mod had to make the pro version free or their mod would be taken down.
That protects us from shitty scam mods like you get on bedrock but it's a shame that legit mod creators can't get any compensation for their work
So your in favor of a marketplace on Java? because that is what it would come down to. Marketplace creators get ~60% cut, the other 40% to Mojang.
Otherwise, creators can have their files behind a subscription to the creator, but in no means suggest that they're buying them through that process.
@@IIIllllIlllIIIIllllllIIIIII it is a very unpopular opinion for a marketplace on Java, everyone is fighting against it because they believe mods should be free. I like the access to free mods, but they've only ever been that way because it's infringement of the IP owner. I wish it would become a more popular opinion, because it also gives an avenue for mods being consistently updated as well.
@@outregis mods should always be free with an option to donate. Mod with money no one gonna use or buy, its unethical and just greedy.
are you this stupid mods should be free not paid mods
If I take the price of a Minecoin - I calculated this to be roughly half a cent per Minecoin - and multiply it by the average cost in Minecoins of all the addons, we get around $2.13 per mod.
If i wanted to play RLCraft in bedrock edition, suppose it would cost the average price of each addon for each mod (177 mods), it would cost around $377.59.
Note there is currently a small sample size to base the average price of each addon on, so the calculation I made is probably pretty inaccurate. Still, this is a shocking number.
(Edit) Note I forgot to include the "recently added" section, but doing so would only increase the numbers I calculate.
I don't think this makes the point you thought it was going to make. Kinda irrelevant.
@@xX_MC_OvU_PvP_YT_Xx my point is that it would be insane to pay that much to play RLcraft. I would love for you to explain your viewpoint.
@@glleesqwerty6402 you can still get mods for free on bedrock marketplace is just a way to support creators if they make content free you can still download and install it anyway.
@@xX_MC_OvU_PvP_YT_Xx The point is that it just that it's impossible to get a similar experience to java modding in bedrock without paying loads of money for it.
To be fair, you probably need the 377 pounds for a good PC setup to run RLcraft
The fact this got added before the Java modding API that was promised years ago is disgusting.
I firmly believe the Forge/Fabric APIs are infinitely better than anything that Mojang could officially release.
The Java what.
I mean at least we got something now 🤑
If we give Microsoft control of our mods things are gonna get bad
the modding api has been dead for at least 6 years man its time to let go
It’s annoying constantly hearing people call them mods when all the blocks they add are hacky workarounds made with entities. The whole reason java mods are so powerful is because you can actually modify the code and add your own code, by adding new classes and overriding other classes. If there’s something the modloader doesn’t let you do, you can implement it yourself and make it an api so that other people can use it. On the other hand, if there’s something bedrock addons don’t let you do you are stuck not doing it or making a hacky workaround that sort of does it.
There's a furniture mod on bedrock that has usable things that are also blocks and not entities
@@sirmonkeyton2166name?
I remember playing a free map on bedrock a few years ago, it was an official free map by Minecraft, and the one thing I hated was that they added details like lamp post and signs to the map, but they were literally just frozen entities you couldn't kill unless you went into creative and killed them with /kill. Alot of the maps on bedrock do this and it's very crude. Also 90% of them you can break and go into creative just by setting the random tic speed to 0 and removing the command blocks under the map that set your game mod to adventure. I did this several times and found out that the free maps are usually thrown together messes with a lot of broken and unfinished bits. If that's the quality you get from the free maps you can't expect any better from paid ones.
I’ve always hated it, the way bedrock pretends to be open and better for creators but ends up being limited. Everything is just entities
There was a time when it was possible to modify the game thanks to the Blocklauncher
Something I'm really concerned about with updates like this is that they're preparing to shut down Java Edition by porting features exclusive to the Java Edition (FREE modding, FREE custom skins, FREE downloadable worlds, FREE servers, so on so on) over to Bedrock so they can then force players to pay for mods, skins, worlds, and so on. The reason why Java is so loved compared to Bedrock is because of how customizable the game is for free, rather than having to pay to get anything more than base vanilla Minecraft. The over-monetization of Minecraft will be its downfall soon enough.
Yes but the problem is you're essentially encouraging slavery and/or functional communism. Those creators get nothing back from those unless people support their Patreon (They've done studies to test that type of system on no matter what the context is, a money pot can never and will never work because people are just too selfish, and when they see that nobody else is supporting, they don't either), yet the masses demand more and more and are outraged when they don't get their way.
When you're the most downloaded game in the entirety of human history, you're not going to make ANY money by catering to the people that already own the (on time purchase) game, and you'll eventually go out of business. This is why Mojang sold themselves to Microsoft. This is why Geometry Dash v2.2 took 8 years to come out. This is why Terraria ended yet failed twice to make a sequel game that the devs felt would satisfy the Terraria playerbase. This is why the garbage that is Call of Duty MW3 exists in the first place, to make something that requires continuous purchase rather than a 1 time thing, because less people will buy a new game then people that will spend money to get more of the game they already love.
So many games, (not just mod creators), and even full studios completely go under because people demand so much that the effort required to keep the game afloat becomes more then the income made from it.
No I am not supporting Mojang's decision to introduce Add-Ons, by the way. It's corrupt and greedy by all means, yet it wouldn't exist if people weren't willing to be a part of it. I'm explaining why creators are forced to flock to it despite its flaws anyways.
My biggest problem with bedrock cosmetics is that changing models (eg, fox ears) is limited to that marketplace portion.
The mods/maps/texturepacks are more more complicated and much MUCH worse, as it will encourage spamming with content that does not have to be good, only popular at the moment, and people in the MC target age will pay for it. It's gonna be a matter of time before repeat of Faithful drama, with someone porting a mod to marketplace they had no rights to monetize.
Honestly? As long as Java edition will still be available to download, it will only result in the ultimate version to port mods to, the way it happened with KSP for example. most of the advancement in modding was not because the game is advances, but because people put more time into it.
Oh and don't listen to the other guy. While yes, making mods quickly becomes a second job, No modder I know mods for the money, but to make the game better. Hell, even having your mod closed source was frowned upon, and those few payed mods (before they were closed) were complete taboo.
the issue they don't understand is that 99%+ of people will not be staying for bedrock only, because Vintage Story already exists. If microsoft wants to learn how to have a viable business model in 2024, they should learn to make a product, instead of stealing from taxpayers.@@autistic_potato1037
I'm so tired of this perception that Java is somehow empirically more loved 🤣 The VAST majority are on Bedrock, and aren't as hyper concerned about it potentially being their main focus down the line (We're talking way down the line, because there really is no issue with having both at the moment. It just depends when Java Coding becomes to complex or the software kicks the bucket)
but above all, you really think that if there was a push to only Bedrock, that there wouldn't be a massive community that rallies behind makin free Bedrock mods viable?
@@outregis people like Minecraft in general, and becasue MS is pushing bedrock version for both PC and consoles, it is understandable that there are more players there (tho it's not "vast majority").
This artificial seperation is arbitrary, as the whole point of java is that it can run on basically any device (with leading theory being that it was corporate decision from the start to seperate EULAs of those games).
If Minecraft was the way Bedrock was from the start it would not retain my interest for this long.
And yes, I do believe there would not be a push for bedrock mods even if MS decided to completely stop selling Java edition.
My reasoning is two fold:
1) Bedrock modding is limited to datapack-like structure and API, which is fine for simpler blocks or entities, but falls short when you want to change more about your game. Hell even chairs showcased in video are actually entities not blocks, and apparently this is typical for those mods, and I would fear for the performance of a any type of factory build as entities.
2) Java will continue to exist as you can't kill it as a game that doesn't rely on central server to run. So all those modders that already put a lot of work into their mods will be unwilling to move to Bedrock even it it was technically possible. This is showcased by the fact how mods are really unwilling to change modloaders and some mods will just die on version change. You may argue that Bedrock would have only one modloader and better version compatibility but you won't get old java mods for bedrock
AND EVEN if you don't care about old mods, the quality of modding will not come as easy. Java mods are so great now because people were constantly trying to out-do each other, where Bedrock modding is on the level from like 15 years ago, the beta days of MC.
the other thing im worried about is how censorious mojangsoft is going to be. Like are they gonna ban anything they simply dont like on principle like gta, guns, or prank mods?
GTA lmao? You could download Car add ons and Gun add ons when there out bc worlds you pay for already do this, also wth you wanting GTA specifically on fucking Minecraft did gamestop tell you that you were to young to buy GTA V?

Reminder: Mojang has made a developer edition of minecraft that is locked to marketplace developers with useful featues that could have benefitted the modding community such as AI editing, placing structures and multiple F3 menus (if you press F3, you can cycle through about 5 different F3 menus that are more sophisticated than Java)
Mojang lied to their audience that its not possible to achieve and implement the features, despite them implementing it smoothly in the dev edition
When this version got leaked, Mojang and other marketplace accomplises (Compycraft, you know what you did. Compycraft falsely struck videos. IP Justice, you have striked discord servers and spied on people) falsely strike videos, despite only mentioning the existance of developer editions with various reasons such as "Using stylized logo", and music that they didnt own
So, dont be surprised if they pulled a cash grab move like this. They literally locked a developer edition and gave it to marketplace partners. They tell you to sign an NDA as well
Edit: While people say that Mojang does have rights to strike the versions for no reason, they should have been transparent about it with their community and they have stopped doing it after Antvenom posted his video
Never has Mojang said it was impossible. It’s rather that they hated the easy access to the debug menu.
As someone learning to game dev myself, I do understand, F3 can become a crutch and you often don’t want to give players crutches that change the experience the way F3 tends to.
A debug menu is after all a developer tool. Java has it because it started out being developed with the community so players needed it to test for stuff. But that isn’t really the state of affairs today.
It does suck that the developer version isn’t really accessible, though. Definitely blocks some ability to get started out, although I suppose that’s what sites like MCPEDL are for…
Nah, who am i kidding, they’re just getting Java modders to join, it doesn’t really feel like they’re thinking hard about how to give new modders an in to start learning addon development.
@@WhatIsMyPorpoiseNah, it's an excuse. They could easily implement the extra F3 info as part of "allow cheats", so it would be a tool instead of a crutch, and many other ways, but Mojang is at a state where they do the bare minimum for free just to shovel all their paid content
you are all mistaken, mojang doesn't want to give f3 to bedrock players because babies don't understand it, remember mojang officially said that minecraft is a kids exclusive game
that is also why they had beef with modders after Microsoft took over, Microsoft hates when people use their products in a way they are not suppose to and they slowly take away your ability to do anything on their systems
I'm wondering what the split between what mojang gets and what the mod devs get
People are not allowed to share nda content because it would cause damages to Mojang and marketplace. Think about it. If mojang told us things ahead of time, let's say a year or two, everyone would be complaining that its taking so long to come out.
It really depends on the split between the creators and the mod makers.
VRChat implemented this sort of thing to pull people away from Patreon, Ko-fi, Gum Road, BOOTH, etc.
But the cut is 50/50, as opposed the the much MUCH smaller cuts to the platforms from the other places. (BOOTH is 90/10 I believe)
So, as easily predicted, almost no one uses it.
Mojang has decided to go with the 90/10 split so yeah, there's that.
I knew that VRC will take some cut, but this is absurd.
With every in game marketplace that appears I feel that stuff gets worse.
Companies see that Roblox is a money press, and then try to catch a bit of that market.
Also, beyond paypal fees Ko-fi is free if you don't have anything there beside one time donations, and then for subscriptions you can choose between 5% or 8$ a month flat.
It’s crazy how many marketplace creators that are recommended are doing everything possible to deceive players. You cannot tell me it was unintentional that the “group” behind the furniture add-on are called “Starfish Studios”, especially when they call the add-on the “official bedrock version of the Minecraft mod”.
There is actually a "Another Furniture" mod by Starfish Studios for Java, and they confirm the bedrock version is theirs in the curseforge comments.
are you really going tinfoil hat on this? has there been anything actually deceptive, or are you just calling it that because you're on the bandwagon that instantly hates it?
Is this meant to be a conspiracy theory or something.
it's the same group pal
@@marcopaulo_the issue is that their name is deceptively similar to 'crayfish', which is liable to make people mistake it for mrcrayfish's furniture mod
Gotta love when Mojang goes against their own TOS by selling mods
Of course, it's only correct if they can take a cut of the revenue for themselves, which for a long time they couldn't do, only forbid anyone else from making any money directly through it.
It's Really just a case of "If I can't make money from mods, then No-One can".
As much as I’d like to agree, it’s an EULA for a reason. End User being the key term; Microsoft/Mojang aren’t end user, so they’re allowed to do whatever they like
cope
Alas, that does not apply to Microsoft. Now buy the 37th unauthorized Dream Skin.
This is effectively Marketplace content, which functions very differently from mods
I hope no 5 year old doesn’t realize that you can just install a file for bedrock mods, for free!
Mojang and Microsoft makes this to milk parents wallets.
Console players are crying about this comment
There are ways to get free mods, skin packs, texture packs, and worlds even while on console with no other devices like a phone or computer. I've done it before, however I can't account for every individual console.
I use realm to transfer addons over to console btw just download the map
@@okOne_that’s not gonna end well is it..
I’m pretty sure that Mojang has threatened to sue modmakers who had a patreon for early access mods
they did
nothing got done tho in the end
@@marcopaulo_ yes it did. physics mod pro had to become free because mojang doesnt want third parties to make money from the game without a cut of it, and obviously the creator didnt want to give the multi-billion dollar company more money so he made it free, and eventually TOS came out where it said "yeah nah no paid mods fuck you"
-Terrible moderation
-Scuffed Censorship
-Dodgy monetisation practices
Bedrock edition is just Mojang's Roblox at this point.
It always has been, they're getting desperate now, idiots!
No Mojang, I’ve given you enough money. You cannot have anymore of my money.
_oh but what of you could give us some more money??_
Then dont give them any, its not like they're forcing you at gun point to buy stuff from the marketplace.
@@Pigness7 So we should just let it happen and not be allowed to express our disliking of this practice because, well they ain't forcing it in our faces are they? I guess we should also let activision make a dlc into a 70 dollar standalone barely content filled game because, well we don't have to buy it therefore it is okay for them to do that kind of practice.
@@Pigness7Yeah, lets ignore the fact that Microsoft and Mojang are tricking clueless kids into wasting tons of their parents money on stuff from the Marketplace that most of the time are illegaly copied from popular mods or texturepacks on Java edition or content made from popular Minecraft youtubers without asking their permission like the Dream skin packs, which are very scammy.

To me, it’s pretty weird. Growing up with Minecraft in what was largely single player, due to kinda being sheltered, makes the Marketplace, which is almost a live service in a way, very very odd. I just don’t like it.
What I'm about to say might be very weird. But... The main menu felt lonelier in the old Java days. It didn't feel like you were being bombarded with microtransactions. It never changed. It was familiar. Maybe that's it.
I still don't see bedrock as minecraft. Just a cheap nock-off cash grab.
@@notknownlogic4161that's what I'm saying! I still can't take bedrock seriouslu
@@notknownlogic4161 it's innovative in some ways, but also just feels like a shell of Java. Really feels like you're just playing an approximation of actual minecraft in a way.
I'd like bedrock better, if they had taken creating a modding API seriously and stuck an LUA backend into it, or something. But no, they still want to use java mcpack tech/formats for some odd reason.
Imagine if a Marketplace Modder translated Java Mods into Bedrock add-ons while monetizing it even though it's not theirs...
then the original modder of said mod sees it and it getting monetized, they would either make their own mod an addon for free.
but still... the marketplace targets children so it's bad
Mod authors just need to call them Add-ons now, then they can use the same ToS workaround to make money
that actually happen. At least twice. Once it was even with a mod that's author works in mojang currently (Aether). The other one was iwth faithfull resourcepack

I think the real problem, that people are having a hard time articulating, is the second-order effects of paid mods being normalized.
- Mods are more curated, meaning they have to get corporate approval (less modder freedom + less player choice) and there's an excuse to add "anti-piracy" measures to prevent going around that corporate control. That corporate control can also cause mods to just disappear since it's all done through a marketplace and you can't just backup files.
- Mods are harder to just try-out; which is a real problem when you're paying for them and they may not be good. You can request a refund, but that's a new level of hassle that didn't exist before.
- Modding is now a business, requiring contractual obligations between the mod creator, Mojang, and customers, where before there were no obligations, allowing mod creaters the freedom to move on to other projects on a whim.
This stuff being the norm is unambiguously worse; it's a worse ecosystem, in some ways it's worse for modders (though the costs may be worth the monetary gain for some), and it makes the game worse, which is the biggest issue since that's the only reason any of this matters in the first place.
>- Mods are more curated
They arent, have you seen the officially curated Minecraft Marketplace? It's packed full of stuff that i'd bet you is 100% illegal, or at best legally dubious, like using a person's likeness without their permission, pretty much entirely lifting someone else's mod and making money off it, etc
You also forgot to add:
They're now a monetary reason to make mods, which means many are going to be less "because i want this"/passion projects, and more "how little can i get away with to wring $5 out of you?", a bit like the Skyrim Creation Club "Mods".
Like, say, the "guns" in CC which are actually just straight up Dawnguard Crossbows with a skin, with effectively nothing that makes them unique otherwise, compared to similar mods that do far more, or ones that arent limited to vanilla and do a total addition.
Minecraft since its inception was a purely educational tool. Java, Voxels, Redstone switches, blueprints of circuit diagrams and flat earth jokes revealing Top Secret Science. When it ran counter to State backed Education that is when Microsoft with its many military grants bought out Minecraft just to inflict its own indoctrination on any youth therein with a campaign of banwaves and censorship. Epstein did not kill himself. Learn2Code.
@@higueraft571 Curated just means that a third party gets to decide what is and isn't there, not that said third party actually makes good decisions.
Modders can still put their mods up for free if they want to (even in the marketplace, some stuff is free). The marketplace is literally just an option they have if they want to make money, and it's not like there aren't other ways to install addons. If they start shutting off non-marketplace mods, then that would be terrible, but it would also be a PR suicide, so I don't think they'd do that.
@@Cube-xm6vtDevil's advocate, but the easier you make it to charge people, the more likely people will charge.
Not saying that they don't deserve recompense, but paying for something usually indicates a level of quality. (you'd hope) and from what I hear, the marketplace is not very high quality.
Shockwaves effect if they choose to go back on the statement that modders may not charge for their mods on Java, with the added caveat they get a cut. Then we have it spreading even farther, and it will probably VERY quickly go to other games. How long til Steam workshop becomes a marketplace?
This is setting a precedent that in the end is focused on making it easier to be a mod developer in some ways (but not really that much) which harms players and benefits the corporation.
The fact that it helps modders is entirely sidelined. How much farther does it push til the marketplace becomes the only distributor of content like this? Maybe minecraft won't have that happen, with how frankly massive its community is and how bad that would appear, but that doesn't stop other games from doing it. This is what we can consider a erosion of the player=modder community that will probably ripple across every videogame, and only because it skips out that simple step to start a patreon.
And again, I do get it, not every modder can be supported by patreon, or whatever else, but presumably many people already well understood that their modding hobby was not going to pull in a living, and the fact that they might get some money by selling on the marketplace isn't likely to really change that either.
I feel like this is another step towards weakening the Java version, if all the best mod authors move mainly to Bedrock (because that's where the money is), Java's modding scene will gradually shrink and wither away, because there's no incentive for it. Me and my friends started playing Minecraft a long time ago, now we're all adults and Java mods are the only thing that'll occasionally bring everyone back to MC to do a run, usually once every other year or so. If Bedrock lures all the mod authors away, those new modpacks that brought all my old friends back together will stop existing on Java, and start being made to be placed behind a paywall, and another piece of my old childhood will die.
The old MC UA-camrs all quit, and if Microsoft keeps pushing Minecraft the direction it's going with the microtransactions, auto-censoring, and chat reporting, me and all my old friends are probably gonna end up quitting to.
Phoenix must be a cop. "When all you have is a gun, everything looks like a nail."
Of course we don’t like it. We miss the old days of just buy once, play forever.
This is why I advocate so hard for piracy. At least when I pirate something I've bought, it can't be taken from me due to being unsupported.

biggest complaint is that all the add-on blocks and items are entities. you dont break them like normal blocks and you cant place other blocks onto them. that and you lose achievements.
this is false. idk what addons you’re downloading but you can create your own blocks, as blocks and items as items
@@sekretboiVery hard to do since Bedrock has poor modding support, people often take the easy route and make the blocks entity because of the entity interaction feature.
The aren't just gonna enable achievements on mods lol
Furniture addon did this but its not even dumb looking they have animations and all. Artic Snow Phoenix did not and when u hit the add on stuff they flashed red and made a dmg sound.

The funny thing is, most "mods" for bedrock is really just a datapack
No that's just wrong.
On the surface I guess I can see the similarities but the BE modding API is so much more easier and quicker to use.
I'm sorry but when you have to make animations using separate models for each frame or you cant add custom particles to the game or anything like that addons are better by a long shot.
Don't get me wrong I love datapacks. There cool and fun and all but really hard to get into and actually make good stuff with especially considering that most datapacks that are high quality are pretty small content wise
Addons Are Better.
@@CrazymodGD addons you mean Mods that we know and Love in Java right?
@@friendlyfire3412 This is probably going to start an argument but no im talking about addons for bedrock edition.
Not the marketplace ones. The FREE and GOOD addons for bedrock edition.
@@CrazymodGDHe wasn't comparing the usability but the possibilities. Add-Ons have essentially only the same features as Datapacks because you can't add new or overwrite code. You can't even add real blocks or items, biomes, dimensions etc. It's not possible. Essentially the features of a datapack and the add-ons are the same even if the addons are quicker to setup and use.
@@umbreonben Yes you can add all of those things and they are not at all the same.
First of all with data packs you cant make custom mobs. You have to tie a armor stand to a regular mob and do a wacky strange animation system of constantly making separate models for every frame.
Second of all right click detection using data packs is INSANE levels of limited where you have to use a carrot on a stick instead of just making a weapon and adding right click detection to it.
Third of all data packs and blocks are WAY more wacky and buggy than regular blocks as you have to use ITEM FRAMES so there will always be a problem with placing the block.
They are nowhere near the same and the only thing datapacks have over addons is NBT which isnt needed at all on bedrock edition because of holiday creator features and dimensions which are still creatable with addons its just much harder.
Come back to me when you guys have a real crafting system and a sensible animation system because you have clearly never looked at ANY actual addon.
So your telling me there is slightest percentage that somehow a developers can sneak in Jenny mods in Bedrock behind in secret behind a paywall?

Something that really sucks about bedrock edition mod wise is we don't have any mods that add special blocks with interesting GUI or special types of block structures
Like you see that chair you placed? That's not a block, that's an entity
An edit: I feel like everyone here who's trying to make some kind of argument (as if this is something to be debated over) haven't actually been on both sides.
Please stop trying to make an argument if you've played one five nights at Freddy's mod in your ten years of living and can't comprehend the meaning of a "special blocks with GUI", can't differentiate between command blocks and actual mods, or haven't played both versions of Minecraft and tried out multiple mods...
that's because right now trying to create GUI is a headache on bedrock, they are constantly changing the code for it every hotfix for the new UI. You can definitely make chairs actually blocks though, i'm guessing it's only an entity so you can sit on it. You can also make basic world generation
yes I know that made me so annoyed when I was testing out some add ons, like why does it have to be an entity? Do you really need the little quirky animation?
soo bedrock modding never changed since 2016? Like, I remember as a kid I played a lot of MCPE (seven seas edition) and all mods retextured blocks or made entities, because they're probably easier to code in I think?
@@Gustoberg it changed a lot
I KNOW OK!
With having no clue of anything going on surrounding it, I was actually really happy to see add-ons finally be added. People had been asking for ages to have behaviour packs that could be applied to your own worlds instead of just a preset world. That being said, I don't know anything else going on, I just know I was pissed that we couldn't use behaviour packs on their own for a while. No clue why they didn't just set it so that behaviour packs could be used on player worlds but whatever, this is the next best thing.
What Phoenix said, "the demographic is now willing to accept it", is a major problem I have with video gaming in general. I started playing games about 18 years ago, and things used to be very different. While one thing to blame is obviously devs' (mainly corporations) greed, the other problem is that people new to gaming don't know it used to be better, so they just put up with all the shady practices. For example people accept free-to-play games with aggressive and unfair monetization, because for many that's how it's always been for them. And I believe this is only going to get worse with time as the cycle of worse games/new players continues.
One of the big things that went unmentioned here is the implications given bedrock's automatic updates. You can't easily go back to an earlier version like on Java. If an update has some incompatibility with an addon, you could end up losing the thing that you just purchased.
On the addon developers' side of things, it pressures them to push out updates as fast as possible to continue making revenue. Porting to newer versions is very dull work. Many Java mods aren't available on the latest version for this very reason. See all of the mods that are stuck in 1.18 or 1.19? Heck, the well-known Ice and Fire mod (fantasy mod that adds dragons and a bunch of other mythical creatures) was going to be left behind in 1.16 because the developer got sick of maintaining it. It only exists on later versions because someone else picked it up.
Here's something else to consider: tons of Java mods pre-1.17 added copper to the game. Imagine if you bought a bedrock addon that adds copper to the game back in 1.16 only for it to get added to vanilla in the next version. You'd probably feel cheated, right? Everyone else just got something for free that you paid extra for! To avoid this, Mojang would need to heavily limit themselves by only adding things not present in addons, and that would cut out a lot of possibilities for future updates. Imagine if vanilla never gets an end update because they can't find a way to improve the end that somebody else hasn't already done.
Or, alternatively not approving of add-ons that contain something they're planning to add later if it's too similar
Thankfully there is 3rd party loaders, but they are a pain to use
You wont *need* to encounter those issues though as its a mod system that doesn't work by modifying the games code. It uses an API mojang themselves keeps up-to-date. The assumption is that as long as they keep it up to date and functioning an older addon will still work.
The biggest problem here is that we are not yet out of the era of the Addon API being drastically changed, not everything is figured out yet so this is probably going to lead to a wave of outdated addons very shortly.
Porting java mods to newer version when you are developer is just few clicks in mcreator. But on bedrock you don't need update to newer version.
@@villagecool6409 you don't need this. Just dowload addon and double click.
Remember when Valve and Bethesda tried to pull that off?
Valve backed off after the massive backlash, while Bethesda doubled down, turning Fallout 4 into a bloatware for a while (as it would install all creation club addons on your device.)
you can actually just load cc content like a normal mod if you "acquire it" via some means since that's all it is

@@skepabbas9400 tbh I only use the free addons
@@entertainmentgamer1992there is a way
I don't have an issue with this concept normally, however I think the main issue comes in when the Java modding scene is actively hurt because of the existence of the market place. We already have examples like the naturalist mod adding far more content to the addon rather than the mod, and even the author on curseforge has made it clear the mod will only receive a few more, smaller updates. It's very clear to see that the mod will have Java support dropped entirely in the near future, and I guarantee that similar, larger mods will follow suit. I entirely support devs and their need to make a living, but I can't support devs who actively kill off other versions of the game.
We need to normalize donating to mod authors
@@_BangDroid_ modding exist for over 20 years, and donating never worked very well, this will never happen sorry.
The monetization and privatization of bedrock mods kinda sucks, i think. In java you could find all sorts of mods and modpacks, with all sorts of content. MrCrayfish's gun mod, mo creatures, computercraft. Bedrock isn't gonna have any of that. It's gonna have the most fundamental, boring, safe, marketable mods. It's going to effectively be a paywall for the new minecraft content. Or it's going to be dead in the water.
Not to mention any gun mods being kicked off the store for not being "kid friendly." At the same time there are swords and bows in Minecraft, which realistically are far more gruesome that guns.
theres a seperate third party place where you can get addons made by the community for free :/ and alot of them are super high quality, even better than java mods at times
Not to mention, a bunch of stuff really cant *modify* the game itself, only add onto it.
So stuff like Create is utterly impossible, you can never add Stress Units or RF or FE.
Meanwhile Advertizers are going to skirt all the rules, just all of them.
Want drugs, guns, and sweet sweet sneaker deals sold by "insert pop star popular with the teen demographic now" in conjuction with adias or nike, then thats just fine for a game that is supposed to be kid friendly! They paid to be there after all!
Who cares if it gives little timmy an unhealthy obsession with snorting his pixie sticks. They paid!
You do realize that you can download all of those on bedrock too? Maybe not exactly them but i only play on bedrock and i had a gun mod. Also what's unmarketable or unsafe about mo creatures and computercraft?
Minecraft making us pay for stuff Java gets for free is like the cheating girlfriend gaslighting you into apologizing for what she did

I would say that bedrock doesn't look weird because it's more polished, it looks weird because absolutely NOTHING is rigid and suitable for sandbox gameplay. Bedrock edition is more like an awkward, floaty high-gravity swimming simulator in which movement has more friction, and consequently, the momentum feels way too off. Not only that, but the visuals on particles and gui look really primitive and not gameplay friendly.
Yes! The physics are so weird in bedrock edition IMO and I don't understand why

my main issue is the lack of polish like I get it these are mods however from the current version of the furniture mod you are able to walk through the drawers if you really try to push yourself in which reminds me of the simple entity replacement in most of worlds currently on the marketplace and it doesn't incentivize me to purchasing these mods because im afraid of buying something that isn't up to par quality wise so really I don't think these mods should need to be purchased all of thrm should be free or at least have higher quality control so im not scammed on something i spent 5 bucks on only to be underwhelming.
I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. Note that this was also after they just changed the ToS to make it a lot harder if not impossible to make money from modding in _Java._

Thank You for highlighting this, I stopped following bedrock but would be worth polishing my addons to see how they do on this new store.
Gaming as an industry started off with devs who made games so that the people could have fun and nothing else. Then we went to undercooked products that were made solely to make a profit and nothing else. Then we went to removing rewards from games and selling them in premium shops and battlepasses. Now even modders, the last people we had who made things so that people could have fun and nothing else, are getting monetized by Bethesda and Mojang. Darkest timeline I swear
The funny thing is, is that if you want to supply your own shaders that maybe you downloaded somewhere on the internet to bedrock it wont work anymore, no matter what shader it is, and they have disabled this since 1.20, now i suspect that the only shaders that work are marketplace ones, which absolutely sucks given that it worked before that update and now no shader does because of MiNeCoInS 💸💸💸
the title:hmmmmm....money money money

What's even crazier about all of this is that 1. They DID sell add-ons before, but they would come bundled with a world so you couldn't make a new world with it, and 2. It's still possible to download add-ons for free. The problem is, as you said it yourself, Microsoft Partners have access to a better tool then other creators, and most of them are creating paid add-ons for the Marketplace.
The Another Furniture add-on reminds me of Survivalcraft 2's furniture feature, which also has a hammer for making furniture. It's not really stealing, as that's from another game completely distinct from Minecraft but still a sandbox game.
2:30 its a hammer . - .
My biggest concerns for a feature like this are quality control, but mainly what kind of cut is Mojang taking? making mods is hard work, and it wouldn't hugely surprise me if the modders were getting a pretty poor cut of the profit made from their own work.
Mods should not be monetized buts it ok to ask for donations of possible. That way they can get full price
Personally, I don't really care one way or the other. I don't play Bedrock Edition (and for good reason), plus from what I'm seeing from other commenters, these are closer to datapacks rather than actual mods
The bigger issue is that there ARE bedrock mods. They are complex and some of them are near as complex as java mods, but using them on most consoles is now nearly impossible because mojang has patched out every way to install mods.

8:00 Bedrock doesn’t have a functional pause menu lmao
I'm not mad about some mods being paid.
I'm mainly worried about just how many will be monetized, and how much of that money will going to mojang vs the developers.
Though even if most or all of the money from purchasing the mods does go the the devs, there are other concerns.
I like the idea that several of these first wave add-ons are either directly free or have a free lite version to play around with. If that is how they are going to handle things, I'd be much less opposed to the idea of paid mods for anyone who doesn't have a PC. However, I don't know if these freebies are actually a decision by the marketplace creators themselves or if Mojang is just using it for this first wave only as a marketing strategy.
It worked so well for Bugthesda, after all.
My favorite mod is Pam's Harvestcraft, but in order to run it on Bedrock I need to pay $31, which is more than the game itself.... fyi Pam's Harvestcraft is in 3 separate addons in the Marketplace.

Bruh, when Bethesda put out the source ports of classic Doom in Unity, they offered Wads curated but they didn't charge for them. If you're gonna add mod support like this, the least you can do is not charge for them.

Yeah, we straight up have 3 separate definitions for add-ons in the Minecraft space now and 2 of them are official.
1) An add-on is a mod that specifically builds on top of an already existing mod.
2) An add-on is a datapack style addition you add while setting up a new Bedrock Edition world.
3) An add-on is meant to be the Bedrock Edition equivalent of a Java mod, capable of being added to already existing worlds.
What's even better is that there is no add-on tab in the world creation menu, you are apparently meant to toss that stuff into "behavior packs" (correct me if I'm wrong) and Mojang failed to accompany the addition of the add-on category in the marketplace with the ability to filter for add-ons as a content pack type.

Also, I think you overlooked the importance for solely console players, I have a friend who will immediately install and use the free graveyard add on. I am keeping my main world vanilla to be able to get achievements, but I may mess around with the free ones on another world to try out different content. Maybe once I have a gaming rig built, I will be able to make the switch to Java, but for the time being console is how I play.
A long time ago, I accepted the fact that I was not going to enjoy new minecraft content. Much longer ago, minecraft was an amazing platform that fostered my personality. Now things have changed. Too much and too wrong. I realized that nothing good was coming in the community, and I haven't played anything higher than 1.19 since, and even then, I almost exclusively play 1.16. But as time goes on, it feels as if for me to continue enjoying the wonderous game i love, i have to distance myself from the community and current events. At this point, it feels as if the whole Mojang company has fallen down a rabbit hole of marketing and publicity, and i realize i don't want any part of what happens as of current. I'd rather stay in the past, with the original console editions, 1.12, and 1.16 serving as what i remember this game by.
