As the number of legal copies of Minecraft Java Edition is about 35-40 millions,
we could estimate that there is at least 20-25 millions monthly active players,
however additionally there may be quite large number of non-premium players
MaxPlayzzzMC, I also had the problem of old versions crashing.
No matter the reason of the problem was, the best way to avoid such problems is to run old versions in a separate working directory, ie. specified by --workDir parameter of the native launcher.
The suggestion of using separate game directory (aka Profile) may be not enough in some cases.
This is because the "game directory" still uses the same "working dir" (default = %APPDATA%\.minecraft),
which may cause problems with versions older than 1.6 .
On the other hand, as I suggested, by using a separate "working directory" (--workDir param) you can create completely separate Minecraft installation, which will not interfere in any way with versions you use in the default "working dir" (%APPDATA%\.minecraft).
Hi, please explain how to use the "Enchanted Books" generator ?
I'm trying to select an enchantment on the "Book" tab,
but nothing is changing in the generated command.
I always get the basic command only:
/give @p enchanted_book 1
TheMasterCaver: Unfortunatelly, it's no longer generated this way in 1.16.5.
However that seed and the region is still quite interesting, because aside there are really high mountains (about Y=160, but there may be also higher ones),
Some old posts from this forum's early days sound quite interesting
(and maybe even nostalgic... )
Look, what citricsquid has written about the perspectives if this forum could become an "official" one...
citricsquid: If a community forum got popular, I'd make it the "official unofficial" minecraft forum
Notch is concentrating on the game and due to the problems with the current forums he said he'd be open to having someone else run the forums. I'm sure if we can turn this into an active community he'll be willing to redirect all users here and turn this into the 'official forum'.
Thank you! I wish there was a way to play across. It seems like such a waste. I'll have two different versions on my pc
Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions differ quite much, so this is not possible to play across them directly.
And this is not a "waste" - it has been done this way for many reasons, and generally it's not easy to make such a unified game for many platforms.
Before year 2017 (when Bedrock edition has appeared) it was not even possible to play across different platforms, like Windows 10 - Mobile(Pocket) - XBox - Playstation etc.
Now on Bedrock edition you can play across these platforms.
And yes, many players have both Java and Bedrock editions on their computers.
As TileEntity said, there are some unofficial solutions to allow Bedrock players play on Java servers, but (as I know) not in opposite direction.
So an alternative would be to have a Java server with GeyserMC plugin and then you and your friends could play on this server all together.
I've seen such a possibility on https://freemcserver.net/
but you should check it by yourself.
Because these versions are outdated and unsupported, they may contain bugs and errors which are not present in newer versions, and these will never be fixed.
...
While the launcher is able to run these versions in a playable state, they don't work perfectly. Changes to the way the game is launched and Mojang Studios' servers have resulted in some features of these versions no longer working as they did originally.

Sxtchh, this may be really the highest mountain available in the latest versions.
The screen looks impressive
Can you share the seed ?

Hey people,
Do read the "WHAT'S NEW" section in the app's description on Google Play.
Unfortunatelly, this app was last updated on December 27, 2019
and supports only MCPE version 1.14.1.5 !

I'm using Firefox, latest version 85, on Windows 10.
I tried also Microsoft Edge, but there is same: the Timezone still returns to "Central Time (US&Canada)".
(on Edge it's even worse - any date in tooltip shows: "Invalid Date NaN:NaN PM")
Then, I also checked on the latest Chrome (version 88): the same problem as I originally reported.

Hi, read this info about old versions of the game:

(here are some quotes)

Are these the new offical forums? - Forum Discussion & Info

I can't change the Timezone value in "My Preferences".
Every time I try to change it and press Submit it looks like changed,
but then when I return to "My Preferences" page, it returns back to "Central Time (US&Canada)".
There is also no effect in the date/time values shown anywhere on the forum.
