Why Minecraft Console Mini Games Can NEVER Be Replicated

In my opinion, most of the Bedrock featured servers simply don't hold a candle to the console minigames. Sure there's way more minigames to play with more players in each game, but the sheer quality and soul of the console minigames simply isn't there with most Bedrock servers. The only one I can think of right now that comes close to matching the quality of the console minigames is Hive. Even with that said, it still has problems such as cheaters and toxicity amongst the players that bring it down. Its not entirely their fault, moreso the fault of Bedrock edition being easy to cheat on for other platforms such as Windows and Mobile devices. Whereas with the console minigames, there were pretty much no cheaters in sight since there were practically no hacked clients for the console editions.

[@uiinpui]

Very well said.

[@captbossalf]

Yeah, even tho I love Hive, things like different controls, hackers, a less friendly community make it not the same as the console minigames.

[@thebreads4334]

And also, the elytra game isn't in any of the bedrock servers. (That used to be my fav gamemode)

[@sonicjoplus]

Honestly the part that made the (legacy) console editions so good was the actual dedication behind it. Yeah it's still has some dedication when being developed, but it just became lost. The mini-games weren't perfect, but the love put into everything made it so good. It's just sad to see things fall apart when everything goes by in the end.

[@DE23]

The tumble game actually has a rocket mode. The rockets explode and break a few more blocks at once. I had also found a way to use these rockets to boost myself up a layer.

[@galegopaulista4564]

[@paulhudalla9527]

Tumble and Battle custom mode came quite late, but there were a ton of options, especially in battle. I wish they came earlier when I played them all the time with friends, but oh well.

[@kevykukus3472]

I remember that in battle there was a glitch where someone can become invisible if they went to a certain place in the map. That was probably the closest thing to hacking that I ever experienced. Battle was overall just lots of fun. My favorite item was the diamond knockback shovel, I used to just stay in prime locations to surprise and knock someone off of a bridge. Defintely glad that this was part of my childhood, hard to believe it was only 6 years ago.

[@BouncySkoda]

yea I remember that glitch I also used it for fun when someone told me about it but after a while it did get patched but it was fun just to mess around with

[@Bransbow]

There was a time when the minigames first launched that I actually played them more than the main Minecraft game. The biggest gaming friend group I ever was a part of was based around the minigames.

[@clothieredward5248]

Every time I watch a video talking about the Minecraft:Console Edition I also feel a massive wave nostalgia which makes me both happy and sad. I'm sad that these mini games will never be truly replicated but I'm glad they were around for me and thousands of hundreds of others to enjoy. The amount of depth, quality, and effort that was put into each of the game modes made each mini game a cornucopia of content. Even things that felt like afterthoughts such as Score Attack in Glide were creative and popular enough to warrant the time 4J put into those things. You could just feel the passion oozing from the developers regardless of which map or minigame you played. Whenever I see these types of videos, I always remember three things. First of all, Minecraft:Console Edition really is the posterchlld of the saying "You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain". If Microsoft didn't outright kill Console Edition, it likely would've been plagued by the same things people despsie Bedrock Edition for. Secondly, I always think about what 4J could've done with the minigames if Console Edition never got discontinued. What new minigames would be added, what new maps will be added to older minigames? I suppose we'll never truly know (well except for Build Battle). And thirdly, I'm constantly reminded of all the good times I've had in the three minigames. Whether it be pwning noobs or getting pwned by other pros in Battle, creating absolute chaos in Tumble, or soaring through the works of art in Glide, I've had good times in all three gamemodes. If only there was a way to bring them back. It's unfortunate it'll never happen.... But what if it did happen? There is that one tweet over on Twitter about 4J developing a new game that is going to focus on where 4J left offf with the console minigames that you have mentioned a couple of times. So contrary to what your title says, it is possible for the minigames to be replicated. It'll just take a while for 4J to make that wish become reality.

[@supergamerconnor4355]

Wait, what happens if you try to play them now? Me and my friends were planning on having some nostalgia time with the minigames, is that not an option?

The minigames HAVE been replicated atleast a year ago well only the battle minigame I believe tumble and glide might release soon too tho. Basically there’s a JAVA server called LEM that lets you play the minigames. It feels very close to the real thing with the lobbies, music, maps everything really even the loading screens Now I’m not actually sure if it has been released to the general public cause it was in a closed alpha stage I’m almost sure it is fully public but I might be wrong so if you are interested don’t bring your hopes up too much Yeah so I just checked it is in a closed testing phase, well kind of apparently they host events every once and awhile on the weekends where the server is opened

[@clothieredward5248]

​@@StalkerGlockYeah, I have heard about LEM a couple days ago through a KZbin trailer. Shame that it's in closed alpha but I'm looking forward to see the server when it does come out to the general public.​

[@arc4na_]

I still played on minecraft console edition until last year, when i finally switched to java. I do prefer java, but the old mini games were just really fun. I spent countless hours playing them (especially battle) and it was also nice to feel like i was actually really good at it, because of how less people play, whereas I'll probably never be at the level of some of the most dedicated java players no matter how hard i try. They were just so well-balanced as mini games and never really got boring despite being so outdated, and i wish modern games could re-create this feel.

[@JohnWI13]

Hey! IDK if you're still active, but try the Re-Console modpack! It's like an alternative universe that what if Console Edition was still updated nowadays, even later getting crossplay. It is amazing, and honestly, to me, it makes the best Minecraft edition ever! The only thing the modpack still 6 have, funny enough, are the Minigames! But the modpack is brand-new, so let's see!

One thing i loved about the lobby is that in a secret spawn location there was a chest with elytras in it you could grab one ang glide through a small gap behind the fountain and fall into the old lobby map

I used to think that was the only way into the old lobby map, I had no idea about the fountain. Though that made it annoying since to get to that spawn, you had to win a game first.

I bet 4J skipped the Battle DLC on Switch because they knew Bedrock was about to take over, and people who bought the Battle DLC would essentially be scammed less than a year after the release of Switch Edition.

I remember running around the free battle maps by myself and playing glide for hours. Ahhh the nostalgia of not understanding how the elytra worked but playing for so long that I got a good score through sheer luck anyway.

[@connortg5]

the minigames really were the perfect answer to the console's problems with random multiplayer, unique, simple to do but with plenty of room to do more (which they did), doesn't need moderation, easy for players (even children) to play, easy to make money off with map packs (especially adding maps to the resource packs to incentivise getting them even more), they were a lot of fun

[@cseagul1]

You can still play it if you still have the original disc

[@ZiptoZapto]

This is another reason why console edition will always be the best minecraft edition in my eyes, and absolutely would still hold that title if it was still getting updated. I remember when these came out, hopping onto minecraft, checking out the new update, and seeing that new button. It was really the coolest thing! I never played battle or tumble very much back then because I had serious rage issues and hatred of losing, so I've never gotten any of those trophies. Now I could try and get those trophies, but man those minigames feel kinda lonely now. Glide was always my favorite, partially because of the music, but mostly because I LOVE the elytra so much! And I could play solo, and just compete against myself, not having to worry about if I won or lost. I never got super good at it, seeing speed runs of even just the free courses blow my mind, and your speed run through cavern makes me realize just how much I could improve. But it just was so magical to fly like that. I remember I would spend ages not doing anything but just flying around having fun. Someday I'd like to build a love letter to console edition. Maybe my own glide track. Maybe continue the tutorial worlds for the major updates. Its just that it takes a long time and building skill I don't have, and I understand why everyone uses world edit for those big projects. One of these days I'll get back into minecraft, though I know it will never be like how it was when I was younger. Just in general, this brings back a lot of memories of grand project ideas I wanted to do all that time ago, like adventure maps or entire worlds on the level of the mashup packs. Ah nostalgia. Maybe one day I'll actually do those things.

[@tony8edits629]

this brings up sooo MANY memories, i'm gonna share one time where in the map Castle i was an absolute beast of a monsters, i standed my ground in the dining room with iron and diamond armor with a lot of pearls or fireballs with swords axes potions etc! And i was dominating the entire server i am NOT joking when i say that the entire server teamed up to try kill me and I STILL MANAGED to win the round! Back in 2016-2019 i was a beast in Minecraft minigames, i may have lost my touch since then but the memories still stand.

[@ScennicMonster]

I get so much nostalgia from all the clips, I will miss this

[@TheNamesFathom]

One of my favourite memories from these minigames was the time I discovered that it's possible to escape the map on Cove (the free Battle map) on the Aquatic update by swimming up a waterfall and clipping through the roof. I was just amazed by what I had found and immediately showed all my friends, who at the time were just as passionate about these minigames as I was.

[@lucasgachalife0]

I miss the flying mini-game, it was my favourite and I played it often. When I realized it was no longer there I can easily say I cried. The game was weirdly fun even if frustrating, but I loved it and I really miss it. I also miss the lobby you could be in because I loved exploring it and finding little secrets around. I also really enjoyed the "spleef" one and everything was so fun. I was and never have been a fan of PVP but it made it more fun because it was my first-ever experience with anything spleef related. Nothing has really been able to give me that level of fun and I truly miss the two mini-games

If you have the PS4 disk, you can still play it. That disk even works on a PS5.

[@mangounit9678]

tumble and glide were my jam. i used to love finding all the little secrets in the loading map - honestly that was the real highlight. i think minigames strength was that it felt so much more… intimate. its just you and this small group of strangers, playing together, showing off together, and exploring the map together. and just for a moment, no matter how short, you were friends. but with the public servers… every single game has a different group of people. the chat is always flooded by people you dont really care about. youre just so severed from everything. the others arent your friends - theyre either your teammates or your opponents. you arent playing with them - youre competing with them. its fun, dont get me wrong, but it isnt intimate. it isnt welcoming the same way minigames was. a couple months ago, i decided to boot up my old xbox one copy of the game, just because. i was genuinely on the verge of tears when those first notes played, as the 4j came up on the screen. i played some tumble, some battle, some glide. i won some, i lost some. i played with friends i didnt know. i played through the tutorial world. it was some of the purest joy ive felt in a long time. the memories coming back to me were so… powerful. even now im getting teary eyed. it felt was like i was coming home. thats the reason minigames were so perfect. theyre home. and any bedrock server will only be a pale imitation.

Out of all the survival game maps presented through minigames i had 3 personal favorites: Frontier, city and shrunk, the tense run from mid on frontier to the edge of the train track to get a chest knowing full well 3 other people will do the same is a level of joy and stress uncompared by modern survival game servers, and shrunk simply took my aesthetic taste and made it into a map, i just love how it looks and how much detail was in it, cause you looked somewhere and asked yourself: "can i get there" and the answer was always yes! And to finish it off city being my second favorite, the constant stress of running roof to roof and avoiding the random fire as i get lost looking for chest and trying to avoid fights like a coward, and looking back on it, it has the same mood as a technoblade video, god rest his soul. And to even further how nice it was, the soundtrack made it very enjoyable, the constant cartoony feel of shrunk and the more tense music of frontier as i rush between town and cave to better deepen the mood along with all sorts of fun knick knacks and secrets to enjoy. (great composition, id give them all a listen)

[@alienpoptart5025]

Every battle map has 2 op chests. The op chests were either really hidden or hard to get to. Stone swords and enchantment iron armor whould only spawn in those chests or refilled middle chests. The op chests whould be in different spots depending on the size of the map. For example in the small map of castle the op chests are in the fountain and the bottom part of the chandelier room but in the large map their in the throne room and the top part of the chandelier room.

Tumble will forever be my fav. My family and I would play it so much. For me, it is the most nostalgic mini game. Glide comes in a REALLY Really really close 2nd.

I think it was "intentional" because 4J knew that Bedrock was coming to switch soon.

[@hootis1]

it would be amazing to see a mod dev re create the console minigames, or 4j doing it themselves. if mojang/microsoft added the minigames to bedrock though, i think that would give a pretty good reason to play bedrock lol

[@s109apache7]

Man bro I really wish I could just go back to the good ol days when life was good and simple and when the mini games came out it was just so much fun and it’s unmatched to this day I honestly don’t know why Minecraft ever discontinued these mini games they are one if the big and very popular parts of Minecraft and I wish we could just have all these good things back it brings back so many memories!

Dig ( 18:01 ) actually was one that lead me to want more discovery-based lore in normal Minecraft

[@sarvajithmahendra7883]

i remember coming home from school in second grade and playing these games the good old days

[@ar-1535]

My favorite parts were, firework mode for tumble, it allowed you to rocket jump up layers, and that bats could slowly mine blocks to influence the game

i remember playing battle in elementary school with my childhood best friend all the time. now i haven't talked to them in years because i moved away and the console editions are dead. it's really sad i remember both of us being so excited whenever a new minigame map came out

[@Official9TIMES]

This was the best no PC players or Mobile just console players having console fun

This video is so nostalgic! I remember being like 10 and sneaking up past our bed time with my brother to play minecraft. The minigames were sooo good, we used to play them all the time. Now I realle feel like booting up our old ps3 and play some minigames lol.

Honestly surprised you didn’t talk about it’s custom soundtrack. The song “double time” was amazing!

I remembered having so much fun with this on the Wii U. I really want someone to take these world and make them into a server. Then you can have spleef, fight, and glide mini games on newer console with all the coding already their. Maybe also an option to choose with lobby you want. Edit: my favorite pvp map was cove, followed by the fallout maps. Had so much fun in those.

[@KieranBriggs-f8o]

Ok wait did each base free map have other versions of it? I remember multiple versions of cove. Like I played yesterday and remember a different layout, but then played the same map again today and it had another layout
