Good game but incompetent devs The game is great at it's core, but it has some of the laziest and incompetent developers imaginable. They take almost a year to make each update and when it releases it's an unfinished and buggy mess which needs several patches for it to be playable. Both client and server performance is awful and keeps getting worse every update, to the point where you need to run multiple 3rd party optimizations to have a playable experience. The developers ignore game breaking exploits and major bugs and instead focus on adding useless features nobody asked for. It's a good game and definitely worth playing but the vanilla game could be a lot better, if it had decent devs.

Very Good Game Very good game, You can play with friends, build, PvP on servers and more. Minecraft is a game of fun and "Infinite Wonder" you can do many things with you friends or alone in survival mode you need to try to get better and then eventually kill the Ender Dragon in The End and beat the game, Hardcore is mainly for good players and YouTubers, if you die on hardcore your world is over, creative is by its name create whatever you want. Java edition is the best version, the version you need to get (Which Java Edition is the version of this review) your kid will be amazed with how fun this game is you need to get this game. Also the price isn't bad for a offline/online game. This game is very famous (But even if it wasn't I would still say get it). Anyways have fun playing Minecraft Java Edition

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.

I bought the game back in 2010 I bought the game back in 2010, with a licence that was supposed to last in perpetuity, however, now the game isn't working anymore. I contacted customer service and turns out they have dropped the old licences, without letting original owners know that they made that change. I never received any communications from Mojang, Minecraft or Microsoft (which apparently now owns the game) about any such change. It is a really misguided way to treat customer's who had been with you from the beginning, shame on you! Cannot recommend this company.

I paid 3x for the game for the worst customer care ever. The game on Java i paid for 3 times now since the game first launched, and due to Mojang refusing to help with game breaking issues to the JAVA client, an email chain of over 12 responses that an AI robot could have done better with, I sadly have to rate their company a 1 star. I wont be playing again. The tickets i submitted, they deliberately misread as soon as i mentioned that external fanbases make mods to improve the GPU and running of their game as my PC suddenly cannot support the original Minecraft. Pathetic reply to suggest Id broken the game because i 'mentioned' id tried other third party extensions, to SEE if the game ive PAID FOR THREE TIMES WOULD RUN. Whoever Nick C and John W are, they need to take a hard look at why they are in customer service. I dont expect to send 12 emails, and they focus on the easy route out every time, not reading, listening or caring about my issues. The culture of online downloads is disgraceful, the product can suddenly soft-lock you out. Sending me to bug report pages, FAQs that are computer generated and dont have more than a few lines of text, and a lack of understanding that I had my PC CHECKED by a PROFESSIONAL IT TEAM to make sure it wasnt the hardware or a software problem, says that something here isnt working and that Mojang are just happy to take your money and rip you off. There's a reason the bedrock version is less buggy, more optimised and funnily HUGELY MORE EXPENSIVE. im not buying your game a fourth time. have some respect for your OG clients.
