You know what’s even worse? They started patching methods for modding on Xbox before this. So this was not only in the works for awhile, but they are actively trying to stop players from getting around it. It’s absolutely disgusting and I think notch should pull a George Lucas and try to buy his creation back

[@zacvh]

I mean Minecraft is probably worth more as an actual ip now than when notch sold it so unless he’s some sort of investing genius I feel like he can’t buy it back. But Star Wars actually was losing money I’m pretty sure so it makes more sense for George Lucas to have the ability to buy it back even though I doubt that will ever happen either. But stuff like this where Microsoft is adding a new thing for them to monetize off of Minecraft does make it more valuable from the business perspective cuz they aren’t going to get that much from more game sales but they have a massive install base now they can push out micro transactions to

[@stargazer-elite]

Notch doesn’t care about Minecraft he thought, and hoped it would just be a small little indie game but ever since a grew passed that he didn’t really care for it also, why are people idolizing notch all of a sudden? He has said some questionable things at the very least.

Thank you for giving my Add-Ons a try! Whether people agree with Add-Ons being free or monetized is certainly up for discussion but make no mistake, players have been annoyed with existing Marketplace and asking for this since the launch of the Marketplace so I'm glad Mojang has finally given me the opportunity to provide that to people who want it while also allowing me to keep making a living doing it. Also had to laugh with your printer struggles, should have seen it when prints failed half of the time and it got jammed...

There should be a way to allow anyone to make mods and allow anyone to post without a crappy UI or prerequisites. Curseforge exists for a reason and is a perfect example of HOW to do a marketplace, all you need to do is add a payment system for those who choose to make things that cost money.

However I doubt anything will come with it as the Marketplace itself is a disaster. I’m sure it’ll become just as bad as the “one world only” Addons due to the insane copy and paste that has been done already. I also don’t get why they are gatekeeping the addons outside of the game itself either. I’m still upset that I have to use a realm and PC/Pocket Addition in order to get ANYTHING outside of the MP. Not to mention the willingness to get things on the MP as a modder depends on many things and is dampened due to the poor implementation of Marketplace and Copyright being so fickle in MP.

Mojang is also gatekeeping free addons. They created a system that doesnt allow just anyone to post on all platforms. Further more, they also don’t allow the platforms, especially platforms like PlayStation or Switch, to get addons from other sources. In order to get other mods on anything you have to own Realms and BUY THE GAME AGAIN on PC or Mobile. The ONLY other option is to get mods from the MP which already dictates whether or not modders can post their products. This in itself hurts the modders as they cannot freely post what they want nor be held responsible for the bad product as there is so much wrong with MP already. The copyright, the poor handling of certain situations and much more is so scummy and cannot be overlooked.

Creators make way more money with the extra publicity and all it costs is a percentage cut. 5. They literally just changed this rn that’s what this video is about.

Honestly I feel like this is mostly a good thing especially for us console players as we have no alternative way of getting mods and while it sucks that you will have to pay money for some of theses at least it’s a safe and easy way to mod the game. Also I don’t think this will have any negative impacts on updates as they will remain better quality and proper implementation of features then add-ons do.

@@gamermapper when modders release their mod in the marketplace they have the option to make it free or with money. So mojang added a way for modders to make money out of their work

[@MagicAnimalStudio]

Going against the grain here, Bedrock isn't great to mod and mojang paying creators to make mods for it is really nice, plus addons being locked to a world on the version was really sad. They are also allowing you to install mods from 3rd party sources. Nobody loses here honestly, well except for the creators who have content stolen and put in the market place.

[@Sir_Slimbread]

People being stolen form will suck, but the solution to that is for them to recreate their mods before they get copied. If the person isn't active anymore then someone else might as well recreate it if they won't do it themselves(I'd prefer the original creator to do it, but if they don't then it'd suck for console players to never get to experience their mod in Add-On form).

[@gamermapper]

Lol, why are you acting like introducing a platform where you're forced to give money to contribute in 90% of the content is a win? Mojang isn't paying creators anything, Mojang is introducing a system where they could gain more money. There's literally no reason for us to even pay for video game content, are we also supposed to pay the people who create Mario Maker or Geometry Dash levels? Don't remember a creative game being a full time job but OK. Besides, Mojang allowing you to access a platform where 90% of stuff is stuff you need to pay for, but not allowing you to easily share your own addons (or any other custom content) for free, like on Java, be it with your friends or with the Internet, shows it all exists to give Mojang and their corporate friends more money.

[@williammartin500]

Normally i wouldnt buy these but.... the spark portal looked cool and functional as hell so i caved in, cool that the gravestone one is free

[@pout6038]

i think the good thing about the free ones is they cover 90% of what new paid marketplace mods would do, based on what marketplace maps based around addons there were, so hopefully this avoids the marketplace just being filled with just the same things over and over. for free, you get a TNT addon which also adds a form of lucky blocks, furniture, dragons, pets, new armor and weapons, gravestones, and even cars. If someone really wants those in the game (and clearly based on how many maps there are on the marketplace just to add those, people do), they don't have to pay for them at least.

[@williammartin500]

@@pout6038 imo as long as the function they provide is equal to they cost I'm good, spark portals allow some crazy good transportation hijinks and is a godsend for older/really old worlds or ones where you don't use the elytra all for the low cost of 3.99. I think they just need to lop off the whole disabling trophy bits for some of the utility ones as it sucks that to get massive increases in qol you have to forgo trophies/achievements when Java doesn't.

Honestly to me whos played Minecraft on console since it released on console, i dont mind paying a few bucks here and there for add ons i like, modding on console has always been either a major pain, or had heavy restrictions in games so honestly especially for a game like Minecraft i think this is a major improvement to the way marketplace content works, and to me an add on i can apply to any world is a major improvement, ive never bought anything on the marketplace until today because restricting things to one world made things not even worth buying

If you are talking about the ones you have to externally acquire, then of course they are unstable. I'm sure these curated Add-Ons have a threshold where they'll crash your device, but that goes for Java Mods as well. There's only so much you can add to a game before it can't take it anymore. That's one of the reasons official console modding hasn't been implemented into many games.

[@McLovinMods]

Free add ons have been a thing for a long time on android. You just have to install them manually

[@maizystar666]

This is still a good step forward considering that modding for Minecraft as is takes a lot of work to begin with. Allowing mod creators to get paid for those efforts is a very good thing. The fact that these add-ons can be used in any world is a step in the right direction considering the maps that came before it only allowed you to play in that world only. Furniture and Mob add-ons will make a lot more sense now. I really hope they can allow for more free add-ons in the marketplace though. It's possible that in order to get a certain experience from these add-ons, people might wind up paying 100$ if things aren't priced fairly, just to have the equivalent experience to that of a modpack. Otherwise, this is definitely a good thing for players that only have access to bedrock and not a PC.

[@kevine9474]

You are very mature and sympathetic. Unfortunately most people in the comments can't see this side of the story.

[@stupidw33b52]

to be fair.. mods aren't a thing for console gaming and them adding it won't affect your vanilla playthrough. the REAL problem is if they don't allow the community mods to be priced by the community (because most of it would then be free anyway)

The weird thing about Microsoft starting to sell mods to us is that they've done this for a while. It's not uncommon for mods/addons to be uploaded to the Marketplace as maps.

No it’s not okay. But if the marketplace is going to exist then it should have add-ons. “Mods” should’ve been one of the only things on the marketplace instead of these lame “adventure” maps that have a few cool items without the ability to port them into your personal worlds.

in theory another additional benefit is that Mojang/Microsoft can do some quality control for the mods, and they can ensure that the mods are free of malicious code.

[@joschemd]

Let me suggest why this *could* be a good thing. Bedrock lacks mature add on capabilities as it traditionally hasn't been a priority.. And there hasn't been a financial reason to invest for bedrock, however, if this is successful, there's a chance to get better official support on the bedrock case
