Reading through the comments on that post about the Minecraft coins and it's frustrating to see the unabashed ignorance of the situation. Are we intentionally ignoring the fact that the old console editions and Pocket Edition (back before it became Bedrock Edition) all allowed purchasing of the exact type of features the Bedrock marketplace lets you purchase now? They were selling skin packs, resource packs, and the mashup packs that included a matching set of skins + a resource pack + a map for things like Halo, Mass Effect, etc.

I'm not saying you have to like microtransactions but people find any opportunity they can to bash MS and call doomsday against Java Edition. Let's be very clear about the situation though: The microtransactions are being handled well whether you like them or not (they're only for cosmetics and they benefit and enable content creators), Minecraft has pretty blatantly improved dramatically content-wise in the past few years (mending, elytra, shulker boxes, 1.13 in its entirety), and the Java game dev team has MORE THAN DOUBLED in size, indicating the complete opposite of the death of Java Edition being desired by them, in the cards, or part of the foreseeable future.

You're completely entitled to your opinion on microtransactions but it's pointless and really just incorrect fear mongering to slam down and herald the desired end of Java Edition in posts like that.

edit: Since there's a lot of conversation about Marketplace coins in this thread and I'm really not the person to talk to about that, there's a thread with a lot of info from Marc HERE explaining why coins are essentially necessary for the marketplace to be feasible to run.

This is the most unique seed I have ever seen. My daughter asked me to find a good place to make a fantasy/medieval town. Found it in less than a minute.

The little epiphanies of Minecrafting

As long as the years go, I always liked to dig right into the ocean, where I would plant sugar cane to get air bubbles. Then I started using buckets. Though it never occurred to me to put a DOOR in the ocean floor to get some stupidly easy (but highly illogical) air bubble.

What other hacks have you found throughout the years, fellow Steves and Alexes?
