Extremely poor customer service Extremely poor customer service. The website password reset doesn't seem to be working, and after some correspondence with a rep (bot?) who only provided canned, unhelpful responses, they closed my ticket without resolving my issue, at which point I could no longer correspond with the rep. So I had to start over with a new ticket and I guess we will see if the new rep is any more helpful.

Minecraft is alright game I have been playing Minecraft for more than a year. losing access to your Microsoft account is or if your account is suspended or something like that. You will lose access to Minecraft. I enjoyed the old days without worrying about losing your Microsoft account. You will be able to play Minecraft without a Microsoft account.

Literal theft on Microsofts end It is utterly atrocious to revoke older player licenses without notification, making me now spend 1.5 times what I originally spent on the game again AND register my address on a Microsoft account (I should not need to give up my private information to be able to play a game I already bought... twice) just to play this game. The licenses back then were supposed to give you ownership of the game, revoking them is completely unjust so remember, if buying something doesn't guarantee ownership then... well, you know how the saying goes.

Having 2 different versions was a mistake. Not a bad game. Its more that there are two versions: Java & Bedrock. Unfortunately, this means the two will have differences. The 3 big one are: 1. The 2024 Aprils Fool's Update was JAVA EXCLUSIVE. The only way Bedrock got the update was through an add-on which was underwhelming compared to the Java trailer & gameplay. 2. Servers are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Where on Java you can join ANY server with an IP address, on Bedrock there is NO SUCH THING. You can't join any server, only a select few. 3. Modding capabilities don't exist for Bedrock. Only add-ons, which are MASSIVELY underwhelming compared to Java's mods, which are free. You will occasionally have to PAY REAL MONEY for add-ons.

Minecraft is fun! Minecraft.net is more of the customer service and merch store of Minecraft. But it also has the Community tab, where it posts updates and other cool stuff. Minecraft itself is very enjoyable and the things you can build just with blocks are very amusing. There are multiple Minecraft games but the one that I recommend is Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. It's the cheapest and it gives the full experience that Java Edition has besides mods and snapshots. Though Minecraft Education Edition is free, it does not give the full experience that Bedrock or Java gives (Bedrocks is around $5 and Java is around $25). Other Minecraft games are Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Earth (Though it is not running anymore).
