Minecraft fans outraged as Mojang sells mods

So I just opened Minecraft Bedrock Edition this is not Java I say it’s been about a few months since I’ve opened Bedrock Edition I don’t remember the last time I did and I’ve been met with this popup customize your game with add-ons add-ons let you customize your gameplay with custom blocks items mods

Recipes and content they’re very easy to install because it’s from the marketplace you just click on them it gets added to your collection and you can add them to any world you want including Realms so it’s not like what they had before which were add-ons which

Were locked so now they’re free to be used anywhere you want so I haven’t actually done anything here this was kind of a surprise for me so I looked online and surely enough we’ve got a whole Banner here for add-ons added to the marketplace so you’ve got dragons

Here Furniture which is a very popular one custom TNT Vehicles pets oh no you name it it’s like mods right I don’t know about you but if you’ve ever modded on Bedrock Edition there’s a lot of power that you have they’re definitely catering towards creators or partners of

The marketplace so if you read this they’re providing a direct Avenue to purchase in and installing mods to bedrock Edition so this is all very much descriptive you can now download some free ones as well which I’ll maybe do in a second you have some screenshots here

Bob is a very popular name here and Spark Universe here You’ got pets so there’s a lot of controversy I don’t need to say that I think it’s very obvious for some of you to maybe cringe at this or be very supportive of this there’s a lot of different ways to view

What they’re doing here there are some fantastic names here razzleberries and okay I’m going to go into the marketplace here if you guys don’t know I am actually a Microsoft partner and I have made Marketplace content do I make money off of the marketplace I don’t I’m

Very fortunate that I have this platform Here YouTube to allow you guys to view my content for free although there is obviously a paid portion which I don’t talk about but obviously any sort of subscription on Twitch or on YouTube that always helps so thank you for

Supporting me I know a lot of content creators let me see this actually I know a lot of creators and a lot of friends of mine don’t have the necessary Avenue to make money off of the things that they have put online so the marketplace

Is a fantastic way for them to do that the controversy which I have now read everywhere it’s the same I’ve almost given up on advocating Java Edition to be the main platform for Minecraft cuz it really isn’t it’s sad I said that 5 years ago I really don’t think Java

Edition will exist for as long as Bedrock Edition will I want to no that’s my content okay this stuff I made so you know it’s kind of cool add-ons so it’s is that a gun no it’s not a gun is it is that a gun what is that icon is

That an axxe that’s a gun is that a is that a pickaxe is that a gun that’s a gun that’s a gun I was trying to navigate to the correct menu I guess this is where it’s going to be right irrespective of the hatred that I’m seeing for the marketplace my one wish

Is that everything here is quality controlled I want everything here to be good but I know that is not the case for a lot of marketplace content all right furniture all right so this is like the biggest staple for Minecraft mods which I will segue into in a second so I just

Want to try this all right now how do I do this right here activate obviously as a Java data pack creator I don’t really delve into the world of mods especially on Minecraft Bedrock but I do want to have a peek at how they play out weather

Clear okay so I have a book which I have read up on I think every Adon just has a book apparently okay let me read this how do I read it it’s not right click whoa why is it like that the so the official oh this is a it’s got a

Billboard on it okay the official Bedrock edition of the original Java mod see this is what I’m seeing right now a lot of Bedrock Edition marketplac add-ons that are now available to be purchased are very very similar to the free Java mods and obviously you can still get these things for free but

Purpose of them being on the marketplace is of course the monetization aspect and it’s a lot easier to install it’s not a terrible thing but it has people up in arms about it okay can I I don’t want to close it I want to see the other pages

Are there other pages okay right click Hammer awning bench okay a lot of them you can see for yourself so I having takes a while to pick up so having experienced the marketplace and having made things for it it’s pretty obvious that Bedrock Edition creators are you going to walk

Come on walk through the book Bedrock Edition Partners have a lot of tools that otherwise other people do not have and it kind of sucks that you know if you got Java Edition you’re kind of by yourself now aren’t you comparatively to bedrock Edition creators all let’s make

Something okay you stay there all I’m going to get some wood I’m playing survival I know why does have to be such a big tree we got Danny deino punching a tree I guess the argument is the same right it’s always been the same for this sort

Of thing where’s the book here it is these things are still available for free except for console I I’m kind of exhausted by the arguments now I don’t care as much as I used to cuz I’ve seen the layout I’ve seen the prognosis now why am I not on Bedrock Edition Java is

Just to me a more playable platform it feels more expressive it feels more mature Bedrock is for a game like Minecraft it is too polished this is just not for me can place this chair down that a little animation let’s make a few chairs all right and let’s put a

Chair there put a CH I want to rotate it wait I want to go back okay can I make a table I let make a drawer actually need more wood am I seeing all of I’m getting a lot of apples am I seeing a lot of my friends

Mig great to bedrock Edition for this opportunity to make money yes of course I said that 5 years ago or however long ago I made that video I don’t know when I made that video okay the marketplace was announced 2017 okay yeah all right 2017 introduced to this screen right I

Knew that was what was going to happen my friends were going to move over it’s very hard to make a living off of creating mods on Java Edition just by making a patreon or a YouTube channel so I am very fortunate to be where I am when I’m still making whatever the hell

I want because I know you guys are supporting me through through it and I know what’s going to happen if you guys ever stop supporting the channel what am I going to do and the marketplace is not some faux opportunity it’s legit this is something that is the livelihoods of many people

Unknown yeah I can exit the bench this is kind of well made it’s a bit rough around the edges but it’s a mod it it’s a Bedrock Edition mod you don’t pay for this one but you pay for a lot of them it wow the marketplace is actually in

The Escape menu well there you go this this is what it looks like right now there’s a lot of freaky sentiment I’m not going to visit Reddit for this you just know what they’re going to say a lot of people happy a lot of people unhappy this is what I expect the

Comments are going to be a lot of you guys hate the way this is going to be the fact that the marketplace exists but the demographic is now willing to accept it although what’s also really funny is that the game is still running in the background so if you’re like browsing

The marketplace there there’s a horse that’s doing something to me right now wait can you okay this is going to be really weird but can you die while browsing the marketplace hold on 2 10 okay there we go okay get some distance I just need to click this in time right

He sees me all right Marketplace I’m going to die now right did I die I didn’t die from that all right Marketplace I’m looking at add-ons I’m dead I’m still zooming in but retail therapy so I guess everything’s going to be just fine
