What Happened to Minecraft Console Minigames?

[@dusanstankov120]

I still play console edition and I think mini games are better than servers

[@echo-mc]

fair enouh, the minigames are really well made and each have their own unique touch that makes them really fun

[@theonethatgotaway3475]

Sir sir, your confused, this isnt an opinion, its a fact

yea i still play legacy console often to play minigames with friends and servers simply cant compete imo

Me too!!

One thing the minigames will always have over community servers is their soundtrack. I remember playing tumble for the first time and being astonished by how good it sounded.

I loved that the mini games allowed you to play split screen even when online. That's a very rare feature.

In general, it seems like minigames are not created using a command block system like on a server

@@linursmc6528 yes thats mostly true. there were/are exploits where you could get creative mode and break blocks, revealing a LOT of redstone

it's a massive disappointment that they didn't even port the Glide maps as a bedrock marketplace thing to fly around with fireworks, as it wouldn't even take that much effort or server hosting

True, the glide maps are all really fun and unique

Nah Traitor to Legacy you quit this edition unlike me and the 200k OG Legacy Players that still play, I met so many best friends on their also their might be 100k or 10k players but I know it's very low as I've seen multiple players twice on different servers that I've met before, highest PS3 yt had 2k subs but highest xbox 360 has 3k subs which is odd cuz it seems like their are more ps3 and wiiU yts than xbox 360 to me, btw I'm joking about calling u a traitor u don't need to play Legacy Legacy for nostalgia if you don't want to but i can tell u the minigame servers and the community/player base is still holding up after years and not died from the massive drop of players since 2019 but I recently find 2022-2023 a lot of my best friends on PS3 started to quit I don't play xbox 360 much as I can't play multiplayer and meet other members of the Legacy community from xbox 360

[@GamingWithJas-ff4yf]

@@theonethatgotaway3475 Oh I wish you could play with us legacy community, although I wish they still updated it and to 1.19 I feel it may remove the nostalgic vibe. Legacy may of died but it seems their are no chances of it to stop dying as i lost my best friends so many times due to them quitting for PS4 or PS5. I have 2 best friends left and I still see legacy players leaving for new editions, I lost my closest best friend a couple months ago due to him moving to ps4 he was a greek player and I'm devastated I realised how much he cares for me he always defended me from toxic players, now as much of a wonderland legacy seems its ot true since 4J stopped updating in 2018 the Remains of the community are very toxic and its toxic on PS3,PSV,Xbox 360 and Wii U. If you do somehow get back to a legacy edition be aware before making legacy friends this community isn't the nicest of people.

These minigames were truly something special. I loved how you didn’t need to have a Microsoft account to play them either. I could just go offline and play a round of PVP with my friends. Minecraft is great now, but back then, it was just something leagues above.

[@SanicAdventure]

They could've released am official server with this minigames to go alongside the player made servers and the fact they haven't done this really makes me thing that Mojang have either forgotten about it or generally can't be bothered to add this.

I used to play these on my PS3. I liked Battle minigames, but I sucked at it. Instead, me and my cousin would play Tumble all the time. It was a great experience. Pretty sad that it's very rarely active nowadays. Anyway, thank you for this video, reminds me of the old times.

[@Bransbow]

If I ever wanted to play Hunger Games or Spleef, the legacy edition mini games were my first choice. I only did servers if I was away from my console, and had my laptop with me.

You can still play it if you can get a PS4 disk. So long as you have that, you can even switch editions an play it on PS5.

They should add these games into bedrock edition it would probably boost the popularity in Minecraft but A LOT considering everyone loved it even if they couldn't even play it but was watching it on KZbin. Keep the graphics the same and keep adding updates to survival and stuff but just add at least the 3 maps back with the same settings and able to change the same settings.
