> Once sales start dying and a minimum time has passed, I will release the game source code as some kind of open source.
The condition never happened, so not really. However, I don't see Mojang ever doing that under Microsoft; unless it were to sunset Minecraft Java, and just maybe.
(Difficult to sell merch or lootboxes on that back of that which means it'll never happen...)
Which is shocking tbh. I think every java private server admin has nightmares where they wake up one day and read that java minecraft is being discontinued...
If that happened I have a feeling Minecraft would fork with an open source rewrite taking over on the java side.
Will also come in handy for Java modders.
And I don’t think bedrock is a fork, more like a reimplementation. Too many subtle differences.
Bedrock is the C++ rewrite they did for supporting lower-resourced systems like phones and consoles. Which is why it doesn't run horribly like the Java version does but also why it has a whole bunch of differences from the Java version that may or may not be relevant (lack of mods being the primary one!)
