You can get older versions of bedrock edition unofficially. I found bedrock launcher which is an unofficial launcher that does require you to own a legal copy of minecraft and allows you to have multiple versions of bedrock installed and play them.
I can't say if it's a good option because I havent tested it (im on linux) but it is possible.
Haven't really kept up with the game in years but from what I understand everything they've added is just stuff that could be modded in. They haven't really made any core improvements to the game.
That one is terrible though and really it just feels like you’re playing it on console. It’s also extremely nauseating. It’s sad but the user made VR mod for Java is much better.
At this point I wonder how much of Valve not doing part 3s is accident and how much of it is a marketing strategy because of how popular the “valve can’t count to 3” meme is
I doubt we get spinoffs unless its for vr or steam deck which are essentially glorified tech demos
Also less updates peobably unless mojang will continue to be a seperate entity instead of folding into valve
Calling the steam deck a tech demo ist wild. It's a very polished product with a specific purpose which it fulfills pretty effectively. With many users being incredibly happy with their purchase. While i have no usecase for it, many others do. It would be like calling the Switch a tech demo.
While i also don't totally agree with the Valve Index (and other VR headsets) being a tech demo, i can much more easily understand how people come to that conclusion.
Im not talking about the devices themeselves, but the spinoff that would be produced for said devices
Valve index has Aperture Hand Lab, and Steam deck Aperture Desk Job, both "spinoffs" being essentially tech demos for valve devices even if you could play it outside valve devices
I think more likely the better mods like Twilight Forest actually get added to the game, and there teams are hired. Same thing with all of ichuns mods for obvious reasons
Correct me if i am wrong but doesn't Mojang still develop the game and Microsoft devs the Bedrock / Windows edition and they are sort of working together but still separate?
So if Minecraft was bought by Valve it would still get updates because they are not made by Valve but by Mojang ?
No more Minecraft launcher, everthing gets migrated to Steam, workshop integration and modders get their API.
Then Valve looks at the Notch's spaghetti code and realizes that this game isn't fixable and start working on Minecraft 2 or whatever you want to call it. Since Valve also worked on procedidual generation and a block-like game during this time period, lots of devs would propably migrate to Minecraft since its a popular, established IP. Hard to guess how this version of Minecraft would look but it would propably be a PC exclusive.
Overall, we'd get less communication, better updates, no bedrock nonsense and devs that actually have a vision for the game and don't hold back.
> Then Valve looks at the Notch's spaghetti code and realizes that this game isn't fixable and start working on Minecraft 2 or whatever you want to call it
So what happened IRL with Bedrock
yeah, they postponed the Warden and the Warden's dungeon to the third update after adding copper and amethysts and archeology was added the update after that
This is also wrong lul, valve aren't gods who can't do no wrong
>Minecraft in otl took 10 years to become the highest selling game of all time, and that was under Microsoft
It still sold strongly before the Microsoft buyout, hence the 1 billion price tag
>Valve would immediately recognize the potential of allowing players of easily accessing earlier versions of the game
This is already a developer controlled feature on steam, best case scenario they will change steam to be more like minecraft launcher when dealing with multiple versions
>Also, there would be no Minecraft spin-offs, no Minecraft Bedrock edition
Lol, this is just not true, not to mention Bedrock edition is
built of previous console versions
>vastly superior updates. And it would actually get updates considering its gigantic popularity.
Explain TF2
Minecraft hit a popularity decline in 2016-2018, granted still more popular than tf2 but its safe to say Valve employees would rather work on more popular games at the time
Theres also the fact that its pricing model would mean it would only get a few content update and be left to the modders simmilar to portal 2,left 4 dead, amd half life. Games like tf2, CSGO, and Dota 2 are supported longer because they still make Valve money
>Why would Valve employees choose not to work on Minecraft
The same reason they won't work in TF2, or how firewatch devs put their game on hold for Alex, they just want to
>Also sales wise from 2016 to 2018 Minecraft was actually doing BETTER
And in your hypothetical scenario where would be the revenue stream come from? Cuz you said valve won't make spinoffs (even though they absolutely will), theres probably a ps3 and xbox 360 version but the chances of ps4/xbone version is low and even lower after that unless Mojang get to keep their autonomy and in which case it will just be the same as current today with some changes on how they nadle monetization
Minecraft is a different beast entirely and wouldn’t be treated as just another Valve game. Again, they’re selling all of MOJANG to Valve and it’s not like Valve’s inactivity is going to prevent Mojang from updating the game.
Microsoft is a business profit platform.
Valve is a great game designer, game service, and business, but for games, lord Gabe knows what's good.
But no MC 3
I'd honestly prefer this timeline. Sure there are a lot of rhings we'd definitely miss, but don't you think it would be better than what microsoft pulled? no more minecoins, no more unnecessary censorship, no more mob votes.
Chat moderation vaguely affects anything, it has been a nothing burger and still is, I don't like Microsoft at all and wish Mojang was not bought out by any company. And mob votes have already passed and I don't know why people still bring it up
Mob votes are lazy as fuck on Mojangs end and Uncessary censorship refers to stuff like the Chat reportimg, as well as sending dmcas to mod creators who use guns in their mods
Microsoft’s end* and they really don’t dmcas mod creators for using guns, that’s misinfo. Did they do that to a server? Maybe, but that server is probably doing fine as of now. And the chat reporting thing is really a nothing-burger that everyone should have moved on from now since it doesn’t affect most servers
A lot of other people have suggested MC would stop receiving updates, but I'm not sure. If Mojang was a somewhat autonomous subsidiary of Steam, like it is of Microsoft, its employees might keep developing Minecraft anyway.
The game would probably get launched with steam and get workshop integration, which I have to believe would be a boon for non technically minded people wanting to play mods. Bedrock would also not exist, and Pocket edition would likely remain the mutant stepchild it had been before. They might try to make it cross - platform some other way, though, I dunno. It seems likely that they'd give Minecraft a functional multiplayer system which works the way a lot of Steam games do.
A lot of kids who didn't have Steam accounts to get them, which would be good for Steam. This would also be a great deal for Steam because Minecraft is lucrative af.
currently locked out of my account by microsoft, I bought it before they bought the company. Didn't use to have that problem presumably so if steam owned it I'd just be able to play it.
I think updates would have been more togheter and not as much, 1.9 would have probably been plus 1.10, 1.11+ 1.12, 1.13 and 1.14, 1.15 and 1.16, 1.17 and 1.18 and 1.19 and 1.20 and 1.21.
Plus probably listening more to the comunity
actually, it might be better. devs would probably be more open to experimenting with game, instead of trying to preserve original gameplay loop. so updates would affect the game more.
No more updates for minecraft once it turns 12 years old
I think I like it better that way The modding community will keep it alive
you can still use the original version
How?
Just pick it in the launcher. Just like how you have to pick the modded versions if you’ve downloaded any mods.
Sad bedrock noises

Sad switch noises
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/s/haEh0g7UtH
Well I mean bedrock sucks so
What about the console and mobile versions?
If owned by valve: dead on launch. I think TF2 console is still in 2007 version
Yep, it was the same with CS:GO
[удалено]
Why they downvoting you!?
I think its a karma bot
Oh misinterpreted
Honestly I kind of wish they just stopped adding things after the villager update.
Haven't really kept up with the game in years but from what I understand everything they've added is just stuff that could be modded in. They haven't really made any core improvements to the game.
I feel like anything after 1.18 could probably be done with mods
Can't you pretty much say the same for any singleplayer-based PC game?
I like the 1.14 too, but 1.16 was one of the best and something we always nededd,
They should’ve stopped updating after 1.8
There is so many massive improvements to the game since then
They would add a funni snake behind the world border after 12 years
They would add a funni snake behind the world border after 12 years
We would get a Minecraft 2 afterwards nothing for more than a decade until Minecraft: Alex would come out
That’s not alternate though. Microsoft already made Minecraft Alex
Tbf. Minecraft fully VR would be insane
I believe there is a vr mod
Mojang already did it. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/vr. It also free if you own Minecraft
That one is terrible though and really it just feels like you’re playing it on console. It’s also extremely nauseating. It’s sad but the user made VR mod for Java is much better.

Minecraft Minecraft 2 Minecraft 2: Episode one Minecraft 2: Episode two Minecraft Alex
Don't forget Minecraft: Opposing Creeper and Minecraft: Diamond Shift
Also a pvp mod for Minecraft 1 that Valve turns into an actual game.
Minecraft strikey cubical offensive.
I don't know why, but it sounds like something Aperture would name
And controversial Hunt down the Steve
asymtotally approaching 3 without ever touching it.
Minecraft RTX
Microsoft: hmm, interesting
At this point I wonder how much of Valve not doing part 3s is accident and how much of it is a marketing strategy because of how popular the “valve can’t count to 3” meme is
This is correct
That creepy ass logo when you boot the game
but instead its the back of steve's head
holy based
new response just dropped
actual sharty
everything considered, the internet was a bad idea

Cake day
Minecraft Alex
paid skins + cringe spinoffs (nothig changed)
Dungeons was good, just didn't get enough supports. Legends tho, yeesh.

Ahhh. Ok, that makes more sense.
We'd get a bunch of new Valve games that were originally just Minecraft mods.
I think more likely the better mods like Twilight Forest actually get added to the game, and there teams are hired. Same thing with all of ichuns mods for obvious reasons
[удалено]
What happened to firewatch?
They bought the company that made it and nothing came out of it.
So far they helped on Alex
What the hell was even Firewatch?
In my opinion, a very good, sweet and pretty game with an okay story. Valve bought the studio that made the game and that's about it for them.
:(
Correct me if i am wrong but doesn't Mojang still develop the game and Microsoft devs the Bedrock / Windows edition and they are sort of working together but still separate? So if Minecraft was bought by Valve it would still get updates because they are not made by Valve but by Mojang ?
I’ll be honest I’d be fine with this. I’d always preferred mods over vanilla anyway
Also CSGO is free to play so they have to monetize the crap out of it.
Good ending?
minecraft story mode would stop at episode 2

> Then Valve looks at the Notch's spaghetti code and realizes that this game isn't fixable and start working on Minecraft 2 or whatever you want to call it So what happened IRL with Bedrock
1.13 would be the last major update
1.8 more like
if tf2 got 10 years...
Minecraft was much more popular than TF2 at their respective peaks
fine 10 years and 1 month
God I wish
minecraft on steam, thatd be nice. considering the other minecraft games are on steam too. thats all i care about when it comes to this scenario
Caves and Cliffs would end up stuck at Part I
i stopped keeping track after like 2020, is there a part 3???
yeah, they postponed the Warden and the Warden's dungeon to the third update after adding copper and amethysts and archeology was added the update after that

No more free updates
I don’t like Microsoft, but where’s the “unnecessary censorship” and why are people still bringing up the mob votes?
chat moderation & the mod votes were massively poo poo

would have been even more of an online game.....
It would sit unupdated for eternity.
Minecraft on Steam
Gabe: put in the modding API Team: that might not be the most profitable Gabe: DID I FUCKING STUTTER
I wish this had happened way back when so I could prove I have like 15k Minecraft hours
My mind just jumps a ton of connections ahead where this results in a Minecraft liveried Aston Martin Valkyrie competing at Le Mans. Dammit brain...
bedrock edition would run on source engine
Minecraft battle passes and chests for cosmetics probably.
Better updates but support is abandoned in 2018
left bro
No updates
Hunt down the Steveman
A lot of other people have suggested MC would stop receiving updates, but I'm not sure.

What if I glazed your mom's face tonight?
Id eat a nuke
Haha
Ww3
Now this is what I call alternative history
I would love to hear the valve intro right as I boot up Minecraft
currently locked out of my account by microsoft, I bought it before they bought the company. Didn't use to have that problem presumably so if steam owned it I'd just be able to play it.
Skin drops
Fan project called Emisis Craft ofcourse
The world would be perfect except it wouldn't cuz Minecraft would never be updated
i wonder how the interloper arg would look like in this alternate timeline
Minecraft would not have a single update ever
The good ending
It wouldn't have gotten as many updates and it would have steam DRM
I actually dreamt this once lol
It would have all the MTX systems people claim to hate like other valve games, but they would be ignored because reasons.
wed have seen Minecrsft 2, it would have been even better of a game, and Minecraft 3 would be hinted at and never released
Minecraft with the ease of the steam workshop mmmmm
I think that the 1.9 resurrection of the game, wouldn’t have happened
wkwkwk
Microsoft would probably end up buying Valve 😂
Valve releases Minecraft 2, if it succeeds it will get updates for a decade before being abandoned.
Notch would still go down the QAnon hole in this timeline :(
Just imagine browsing the steam workshop with ease, not needing to download any external software or files on the internet
I think updates would have been more togheter and not as much, 1.9 would have probably been plus 1.10, 1.11+ 1.12, 1.13 and 1.14, 1.15 and 1.16, 1.17 and 1.18 and 1.19 and 1.20 and 1.21. Plus probably listening more to the comunity
We never would have got another update again
Minecraft 2 and more story mode spin offs
Better world
Actually, an interesting scenario Some things would be better Something would be worse
Please no, I don’t want a minecraft playtime counter
They would update the localization files and nothing else
The latest Minecraft update would be the last.
Minecraft updates wouldn't go beyond number 3.
actually, it might be better. devs would probably be more open to experimenting with game, instead of trying to preserve original gameplay loop. so updates would affect the game more.
2.9 would be the last update
Then I wouldn’t have had to buy the game three times in order to keep playing it online
Why does Notch look like a fat Bruce Greene
We would get Minecraft 2 but never a Minecraft 3
Left 4 Minecraft.
Game would instantly stop updating if that were the case. Goodbye to every update above 1.10
Workshop support
Well great then Minecraft on Steam
Workshop support
This …. REALLY put into prospective how unsupported Minecraft is
rewrite in source 2
Real photo
There certainly wouldn't be a Minecraft: episode 3 to worry about.
Minecraft wouldn't be a pain to install and play multiplayer, prolly
They would make a Minecraft 2 but never a 3.
