I have some pretty big things planned for the next few months and I'm excited to get to it. As I've said in the last video, while the quality of research in Minecraft videos isn't really scrutinized, I still feel it's best to mention, it's likely that not all the information in the video is correct. If you have any proof that counters anything I said please let me know!
sodium mod will probably not become part of Minecraft due to very inconsistent gains - and some losses in some cases. However, Nvidium could 100% be a part of regular minecraft. (or some variation of the mod that would work on a lot more gpus)
Notch wasn't involved in the squid milking thing at all, it was the first mob implemented by Jeb and he made it by duplicating the cow code and forgot to remove the milking function
Yes notch has stated before that he hasnt coded ANYTHING since the full release of minecraft. Weird since he is the guy everybody thinks of when the phrase "minecraft" is brought up
@@ToxicMothBoi Well, the vast majority of what you think of when you hear "minecraft" is from release and prior. You don't think of illagers or netherite, you think of creepers and diamond. That's probably why
I remembered squids being the first mob coded by Jeb, and that being the reason squids could be milked. Jeb didn't know how to properly implement it. Not that this is important, but I just wanted to mention this.
1:08 it was actually Jeb that was given a task to create squid and as he was new to the games code he wanted to see the Notch's way of implementing mobs so he copied the cows code and forgot to delete the milking method. 9:58 Its not a full third party mod implementation, but back in 1.16 they hired the Aether creator to work on the nether terrain generation.
I have heard of this, but never looked anything up about it, but nice to see you making a video about it. You might not be super happy with the video, but it did turn out pretty good imo.
Nice video! When I looked up why Optifine isn't in Minecraft I was told it was because Mojang didn't want all of the features (namely the custom capes). I appreciate that you took the time to explain the more nuanced reasons the plan fell through.
I probably wouldn't have made the video in hindsight, but I do definitely like adding more nuance to situations where people have a misguided or not exactly correct version of history. Assuming I'm not also wrong!
Nice video :] Really hope Minecraft’s performance can improve in the future. The lighting engine rework is a step in the right direction. Small correction but squid milking was an oversight by Jeb, not Notch, as he made the mob.
Well they have made Minecraft a tiny bit better performance wise in 1.20 when they optimized the lighting engine to the point the starlight mod considered itself obsolete for 1.20 and above on the client side.
Explanation of MCP source: The MCP codebase is reverse engineered source code of Minecraft, which still gives a pretty similar result to the original code, but it's still different. Mod devs don't have access to the original code so use MCP. This means if he was to implement it in the base game he would have to rewrite some bits of the mod.
they do, mojang releases their decompilation flags you can use to get what's more or less their source code, you can't use them to make money though so noone uses them
It's worse, actually: he would have to check every single line of code in Optifine and pray that he doesn't have to remap most functions (he'll have to). The nightmare about changing from MCP mappings to official mappings is that the function that spawns mobs for example, may be called spawnMob() in MCP, but doMonsterSpawn() in the official source. Doesn't matter if it does the exact same thing (they don't exactly, more on that later), the compiler will never know that they're the same function unless some black magic is involved. You have to check which function means what for every bit of the mod code. Not to mention, MCP includes code generated by compiler optimizations. It is not a 1:1 copy of the official source, so it behaves slightly differently. Does not matter for adding a cute mob, for example, but it does matter if your mod is performance and customization oriented, like Optifine. I cannot blame Spx for giving up the offer. At all.
@@HappyGick eh, renaming a function isn't that bad in a decent ide, you can just select all occurences and replace them with the correct function name. it's mostly other problems
I have been a fan for a while now and I just want to say thanks for always entertaining me. I don’t even play Minecraft anymore but I love these videos. Keep up the good work ❤

I'm pretty sure Sodium just updates old rendering code in Minecraft which is what gives the performance boost, I think that would make it not too hard for Mojang to "implement" it
1:09 no, no he didn’t. Jeb added them, and it was the first job he designed so he used the cow’s code as a base for his experiment. He accidentally left the ability to milk in the squid code (not sure about the ai part, just the milking part).
I wanted to comment my appreciation of the insight you give into those videos! It's pretty rare regarding, really anything, especially as of some time now! Great content, awesome skits inbetween, always something to lay your eyes onto Sageless!
It's funny that people even talk about adding OptiFine into the game. It's, as mentioned in one part of the video, just some patches to make the game run a little better. What they really need is to hire someone/a team of people to just fix the game. It's very poorly optimized in the first place, and has tons of issues. This isn't the biggest deal ever, and that's standard practice in programming (only optimize when it becomes necessary, not as you're coding in the first place), but still Mojang has not taken the right path. There's no good intensive for them to make it run better, it wouldn't gain them much money, and Micro$oft is all about the dollar$. I'm a developer for a semi-popular mod (the Discord has ~17.2k members) that changes the development direction Minecraft took after b1.7.3. We have a sister project for alpha called NSSS who's creator has optimized the game to a large extent. He runs it on SGI computers and also it's been run on plenty of slow and old machines at impressive framerates. It's definitely possible, they just need to make it happen. Unfortunately Mojang has some very big management issues.
I kinda dont like the fact that people say that modders are better than devs at what they do. For some it IS true, but without the actual game to mod, some of the modders that made the game better would just be non-existent.
The guys who originally made the foundations stopped working on Minecraft years ago. All of the people working on the game now are those who joined post-release 1.0 when the game was already finished. Several of the game's creators were mod developers who were hired by Mojang. The simple fact is that Mojang keeps putting out lackluster yearly updates with little *meaningful* content while modders still push out high-quality work very frequently to this day. No amount of sugarcoating will make that change. Whether it's a management issue or if Mojang is actually lazy or what I don't know, but, it is the truth that modders do way more for the game than Mojang.
@@evdestroy5304 Have you ever considered that maybe Minecraft isn't suited for certain type of player? Because Minecraft is a game made to be simple and relaxing, while mods add stuff that turns minecraft your typical game (Not that it's a bad thing ofc, but Minecraft is just different). Most mods completely ruin Minecraft and it's simplicity. basically all of them
I really do hope that mojang puts out an update at some point where they specifically look towards optimisation, either by implementing sodium (a much better optimisation mod than optifine by now) or just doing their own optimisation. I can understand why they don't though, because at the end of the day if someone just wants to play unmodded then... well they could just play bedrock at that point.
Thanks for the explanation. I've always wanted to know this. I hope Minecraft actually implements custom capes and the lighting settings, such as the torches and other light blocks illuminating stuff without being placed.
It's a shame Minecraftforum got archived when Curse took over, there was a lot of discourse about all of it. There's a lot of nuance to the whole story, and it goes beyond just Optifine.
OptiFine has been borked for years and it's only a necessary evil until the alternatives to support heavily customized resource packs are ripe. It makes sense that Mojang wanted only parts of a project, especially since there were other things they were going to do on their own or didn't want in vanilla at all. And no one's at fault of anything if a deal can't satisfy either party.
I honestly always assumed the issue was the capes. Mojang isn't going to add everyone's custom capes (even if they are just banner designs, and I think that should just be a feature anyway), and Spx isn't going to make a deal that essentially scams people out of their money.
1:08 - Jeb was responsible for making squids, not Notch. He copypasted cow's code and forgot to remove milking part. Also, this is not really an AI part, but rather an interaction part
I thought Optifine didn’t get implemented because of the Optifine capes they sell and mojang not wanting to keep that feature when adding Optifine natively
Glad it isn't implemented into vanilla because as time has passed, better performance mods have been released that are compatible with many mods, unlike optfine that changes the rendering in a way that becomes incompatible with a lot of mods. So not only would some players lose the ability to play minecraft if optifine was implemented, but so will many players who mod their game.
the squid thing was a jeb error since at the time jeb didnt know how entities worked in the game and just copy pasted the code while forgetting the milk thing If i remember correctly
OMG at 1:14 in the vid on the far right you can see my old skin O: I didn't make this skin btw I found it on a site Btw the same player skin is also at 5:14
Sadly, I think Sodium will also never be implemented into the official game, because the creator of the mod has been offered a job at Hytale Studios and now works for them. It's very sad to know this, as mods like Sodium, Iris, Phosphor and Lithium should totally be part of the base game because they don't mess up anything vanilla already.
what’s crazy is these people have figured it out in their own time meanwhile mojang has made minuscule progress on performance improvements for a decade, what is their priority?
@@333dae shit updates yoinked from whatever has been trending on curseforge for the last few months Game hasn't had an original update since 1.2, kinda crazy
@@333daeI did think they were incompetent and they quite frankly are, but the branch that's responsible for. They've made literally pretty neat rpg games, Legends, Dungeons and such. These were top tier games to the contrary of current crap craft that's managed stellar poorly. It's just a bunch of flying textures that's being added over the span of years. It's so weak I truly wonder who even is responsible for mc specifically. I doubt jeb is that much of an incel.
@@333dae Optimization mods don't fix the problem in Minecraft's performances, they throe a patch on them, fixing a Minecraft's lag would be far more complex
@@VinnyUnion Have you ever considered that maybe you're just not the type of player for Minecraft? Because Minecraft is a game made to be simple and relaxing, while Legends and Dungeons are your typical complex game (Not that it's a bad thing ofc, but Minecraft is just different)
Didn't except that last part.... Future video talking about the possibilities of other "Performance Enhancement" mods being added to the official Minecraft source code, such as Sodium?
Even if they had accepted the deal back then, Minecraft probably wouldn't be that much more performant now. Game companies don't care that much about optimization, cause as long as the game runs well enough, most people don't care. The speedup would have eroded over time as more and more trashy code piles on top of the foundation set by OptiFine.
Minecraft hiring some of the scicraft people was honestly the best thing they could do regarding implementing OptiFine into Minecraft. The Scicraft people know where bugs are, what causes them, and have created personalized mods that basically reroute the code around the bugs and execute them properly if the bug impacted performance or had other negative implications. Why do you think in the past few months, a lot of the most ancient (java) bugs in Minecraft have finally been patched? Because they now know exactly where they are, what causes them, and how to fix it. With that in mind, my prediction is that the ancient city was supposed to create a portal. Either possibly with The End to make transportation between the Overworld and the End a lot more convenient (even if the portals would only be usable after killing the dragon), and thus making the End as a dimension a lot more interesting for the average player. (chunkloading in the end is not really possible, farms like bee farms and wool farms would work optimally in the End, as the Nether requires a lot of additional care, etc, etc). OR the portal would lead to a new dimension, which requires optimisation of the basecode first. We did have obsidian 8 updates before we had a nether, we had end portal frames technically one update before we had the end, but the End originally was just the main island and didnt get fully hashed out untill another 6 updates later. So my personal theory would be that we will get our new dimension (or updated end dimension) once the game is truly optimized. The light engine has already been updated recently, soon we will have no more laggy redstone dust, and then I think that entity lag will be optimized aswell, by giving mobs a shared AI system rather than all unique systems(currently, a lot of lag happens at 100 mobs because they all have 100 calculations and 100+ functions that are being ran to determine their next location, giving them a shared AI system could still allow mobs to act on their own).
Edit: 7:58 Looks like the video does cover the same things I wanted to mention. Noice. 5:30 I don't know if the video mentions it later, but I thought I would throw in now. Having been around at the time when this deal was happening. From what I remember, Spx was the one that turned Mojang's offer down. Mojang offer to buy it from him and to pay to have the entire mod (not parts) added to the game. The most common reason for turning down at the time was that adding Optifine to the game proper would require rewriting it to work with the original source, which Spx considered too much work for the amount Mojang was willing to pay. A later theory though was that Spx uses Optifine as their primary source of income, and selling it to Mojang would get in the way of his ability to continually monetize it, especially with regards to the optifine capes. After the deal fell through Dinnerbone went to twitter to say "Oh well" and state that they would eventually make it so Optifine is longer neccessary for playing the game. This was before they added proper HD textures support, antialiasing, and resource packs to the game.
1:05 The mistake is in line 2. In line two, the proof process puts a negative number(4-9/2) in a square root, but you can't put a negative number in a square root. So the proof process is wrong.
0:35 For that emoji, did you just send it in discord, screenshot it, and remove it's background? Cuz that's definitely what it looks like to me lmao and that's what i would have done as well
So if we think about it, optifine is just a collection of previously existing mods merged into one as they were abandoned.. OptiMine, OptiFog, MCPatcher, GLSL Shaders (both of which I know were open-source so it was easy to just "yoink" the source..) So the guy just took those mods, yoinked them, bundled them while still keeping closed-source and All-Rights Reserved HMMMM
I've always dreamed of something like this: 2025. As Minecraft becomes laggyer and laggyer because of bigger updated, mojang goes to both optifine and sodium companies, and payes them each 1 million dollars and jobs at mojang for them to merge and get added to vanilla, getting sodium's (and it's whole family of performance mods) performance and optifines customization. Could it be real? Or just dreams?
Just dreams unfortunately... as long as we don't assemble together as a community and show mojang that we all want those features, and it's not just 1% of the player base who wants this, then they won't bother to add anything other than what they want. If we unite and show them what we really want only then they might implement things like that, as well as other things the community wants. But the community seems pretty divided, especially with Java and Bedrock editions being vastly different due to mojang barely caring about parity. I just wish the community was more united sometimes! We could get so far...
Just a dream. Optifine is trying to stich up a decapitation. For minecraft to implement Optifine and Sodium properly, there'd be a need for lage chunks of the source to be rewritten.
This is such a nice analysis and the most thurough explanation I've ever heard so far. However, this makes me wonder about more mods: Can Mojang buy out Fabric and make it its modding API? How about Sodium? Iris? I guess the answers for Optifine wound fit in these cases as well, but I think these mods haven't diverged too much from the base game as much as Optifine did.
I could imagine how spaghetti code Notch's code is/was and it needs a heavy refactor for even close to OF code quality which is a very big work, especially in compensation POV. I guess this is the answer to why Microsoft just rewrote Bedrock in C and forced it as a main Minecraft version instead of the Java version (of course they have other reasons too (eg multiplatform and the marketplace, but this is probably one of the main ones).
java is more multiplataform than the C, in C you need to compile to every device, java you just compile to JVM and it runs on everything that JVM runs, for exemple i can't play bedrock in Linux because microsoft isn't compiling it for linux, and the code isn't opensource so nobody can fix it, my true guess is optimizations, especially for mobile devices, and well, nobody can mess with the C compiled code(beacause it's assembly), so more power to microsoft(that's with java is easier to make mods, even if the code isn't opensource, it's easier to understand JVM code, than assembly)
@@vilian9185actually you can, there is a non-official launcher that uses the apk, but I know what're you talking about, it's not the same ;) Java is multiplatform, but what cost? Need many resources and the complexity of a game like this it's relevant. If they use common libraries, compiling the Bedrock edition from C is no problem for almost any OS, of course, it probably needs open-sourcing it too (or keep it close source, but provide packages to more popular distros (eg .deb) like in other software did), so I don't think it's purely a technical problem, but more likely profit orientation/business strategy.
Not surprising the story is more nuanced and was a compatibility issue. Also, I'm somewhat doubtful they will go for Sodium, considering much smaller mods e.g. Starlight were made redundant where they improved their own lighting engine with similar solutions. Not impossible since Sodium is more widespread but for that same reason implementing it could be hard. Not impossible but would likely end up looking quite different in the end. Hoping Mojang themselves can help to boost performance in other ways too...
I kinda agree myself, but needed to end the video on something that would make people think or comment :D Definitely could see certain devs being hired tho.
I'd argue it's already slowly being added to vanilla by mojang, such as with the addition of the telescope zoom things and the attempt at adding shaders

I honestly always assumed the issue was the capes. Mojang isn't going to add everyone's custom capes (even if they are just banner designs, and I think that should just be a feature anyway), and Spx isn't going to make a deal that essentially scams people out of their money.
1:08 - Jeb was responsible for making squids, not Notch. He copypasted cow's code and forgot to remove milking part. Also, this is not really an AI part, but rather an interaction part
Thanks for the video, that was a lovely story
I loved that bow transition around 1:10
10:00 other thing that makes optifine more valuable are custom capes.
10:42 and for egzample allowing you to use some resource packs
Mojang should hire xps as a part of the deal he deserves it
1:14 this part is just golden😂

Your understanding of nuance and proper sourcing for your statements is very refreshing to see.
Thank you, that means so much to me.
The answer was kind of exactly what I expected. I hope Mojang eventually does something about Java's optimization
I thought Optifine didn’t get implemented because of the Optifine capes they sell and mojang not wanting to keep that feature when adding Optifine natively
yeah, I am surprised that this point did not get included in the video
Giving everyone a customizable cape would make the Minecon capes worthless
@@solidpandacka5544 maybe mojang got more flexible about capes after giving everyone 2 exclusive capes already
@@solidpandacka5544Did you guys watch the video? It is explicitly stated that this is not the case.
unrelated but I love how that one room is still closed for "maintenance" from last video
Microsoft is only focusing on bedrock edition pushing java players to bedrock edition
3:43: Hey, what mod gives these 3D heads? (Solid overlay)
Glad it isn't implemented into vanilla because as time has passed, better performance mods have been released that are compatible with many mods, unlike optfine that changes the rendering in a way that becomes incompatible with a lot of mods. So not only would some players lose the ability to play minecraft if optifine was implemented, but so will many players who mod their game.
the squid thing was a jeb error since at the time jeb didnt know how entities worked in the game and just copy pasted the code while forgetting the milk thing
If i remember correctly
Best channel dude and soo underrated i hope you get the 1m subs because thats what you really deserve have a nice day
I love the one album and it enhanced the video with the c418/minecraft feel
OMG at 1:14 in the vid on the far right you can see my old skin O: I didn't make this skin btw I found it on a site
Btw the same player skin is also at 5:14
ive heard that documentation in minecraft modding scene is lacking.
Another perfect video, you really put effort to this
Love your vids
1:09 that is Jeb fault, he is the one that posted the famous "Oops" in Minecraft Forums.
Great Video! Stuff about modders and Mojang interacting is always interesting.
Sadly, I think Sodium will also never be implemented into the official game, because the creator of the mod has been offered a job at Hytale Studios and now works for them. It's very sad to know this, as mods like Sodium, Iris, Phosphor and Lithium should totally be part of the base game because they don't mess up anything vanilla already.
what’s crazy is these people have figured it out in their own time meanwhile mojang has made minuscule progress on performance improvements for a decade, what is their priority?
@@333dae shit updates yoinked from whatever has been trending on curseforge for the last few months
Game hasn't had an original update since 1.2, kinda crazy
@@333daeI did think they were incompetent and they quite frankly are, but the branch that's responsible for. They've made literally pretty neat rpg games, Legends, Dungeons and such. These were top tier games to the contrary of current crap craft that's managed stellar poorly. It's just a bunch of flying textures that's being added over the span of years. It's so weak I truly wonder who even is responsible for mc specifically. I doubt jeb is that much of an incel.
@@333dae Optimization mods don't fix the problem in Minecraft's performances, they throe a patch on them, fixing a Minecraft's lag would be far more complex
@@VinnyUnion Have you ever considered that maybe you're just not the type of player for Minecraft? Because Minecraft is a game made to be simple and relaxing, while Legends and Dungeons are your typical complex game (Not that it's a bad thing ofc, but Minecraft is just different)
Didn't except that last part.... Future video talking about the possibilities of other "Performance Enhancement" mods being added to the official Minecraft source code, such as Sodium?
Even if they had accepted the deal back then, Minecraft probably wouldn't be that much more performant now. Game companies don't care that much about optimization, cause as long as the game runs well enough, most people don't care. The speedup would have eroded over time as more and more trashy code piles on top of the foundation set by OptiFine.
Minecraft hiring some of the scicraft people was honestly the best thing they could do regarding implementing OptiFine into Minecraft.
The Scicraft people know where bugs are, what causes them, and have created personalized mods that basically reroute the code around the bugs and execute them properly if the bug impacted performance or had other negative implications.
Why do you think in the past few months, a lot of the most ancient (java) bugs in Minecraft have finally been patched? Because they now know exactly where they are, what causes them, and how to fix it.
With that in mind, my prediction is that the ancient city was supposed to create a portal. Either possibly with The End to make transportation between the Overworld and the End a lot more convenient (even if the portals would only be usable after killing the dragon), and thus making the End as a dimension a lot more interesting for the average player. (chunkloading in the end is not really possible, farms like bee farms and wool farms would work optimally in the End, as the Nether requires a lot of additional care, etc, etc). OR the portal would lead to a new dimension, which requires optimisation of the basecode first.
We did have obsidian 8 updates before we had a nether, we had end portal frames technically one update before we had the end, but the End originally was just the main island and didnt get fully hashed out untill another 6 updates later.
So my personal theory would be that we will get our new dimension (or updated end dimension) once the game is truly optimized. The light engine has already been updated recently, soon we will have no more laggy redstone dust, and then I think that entity lag will be optimized aswell, by giving mobs a shared AI system rather than all unique systems(currently, a lot of lag happens at 100 mobs because they all have 100 calculations and 100+ functions that are being ran to determine their next location, giving them a shared AI system could still allow mobs to act on their own).
The description says "we'll be learning about the time Mojang almost bought Mojang." Might want to fix that.
Great video! Just want to let you know the description says "about the time Mojang almost bought Mojang," so you can fix it :)
Fun fact our school got Minecraft 1.5.2 and it has zoom in it. Idk if you covered that cause I have s terrible memory
Edit: 7:58 Looks like the video does cover the same things I wanted to mention. Noice.
5:30 I don't know if the video mentions it later, but I thought I would throw in now. Having been around at the time when this deal was happening. From what I remember, Spx was the one that turned Mojang's offer down. Mojang offer to buy it from him and to pay to have the entire mod (not parts) added to the game.
The most common reason for turning down at the time was that adding Optifine to the game proper would require rewriting it to work with the original source, which Spx considered too much work for the amount Mojang was willing to pay. A later theory though was that Spx uses Optifine as their primary source of income, and selling it to Mojang would get in the way of his ability to continually monetize it, especially with regards to the optifine capes.
After the deal fell through Dinnerbone went to twitter to say "Oh well" and state that they would eventually make it so Optifine is longer neccessary for playing the game. This was before they added proper HD textures support, antialiasing, and resource packs to the game.
Wow I remember seeing this news years ago. Nice memory jog!

Great video! Collective and simple

Amazing video! (also typo in the description, unless you actually meant that mojang tried to buy mojang. lol.)
1:05 The mistake is in line 2.
In line two, the proof process puts a negative number(4-9/2) in a square root, but you can't put a negative number in a square root. So the proof process is wrong.

For that emoji, did you just send it in discord, screenshot it, and remove it's background? Cuz that's definitely what it looks like to me lmao and that's what i would have done as well
This video was really interesting and good ❤
8:08 he really had to do it to the signs lmao!
The currant version is pretty stable. Older versions were made to run on anything, including machines that didn't have dedicated graphics cards.
So if we think about it, optifine is just a collection of previously existing mods merged into one as they were abandoned.. OptiMine, OptiFog, MCPatcher, GLSL Shaders (both of which I know were open-source so it was easy to just "yoink" the source..)
So the guy just took those mods, yoinked them, bundled them while still keeping closed-source and All-Rights Reserved HMMMM
I forgot to include it but there was also another more minor mod Spx added into OptiFine, but I think it was his.
>hating on a solo dev producing an indie game making bad code when the game wasnt popular
>calling him a bad programmer(LOL ok dude)
I've always dreamed of something like this: 2025. As Minecraft becomes laggyer and laggyer because of bigger updated, mojang goes to both optifine and sodium companies, and payes them each 1 million dollars and jobs at mojang for them to merge and get added to vanilla, getting sodium's (and it's whole family of performance mods) performance and optifines customization. Could it be real? Or just dreams?
Just dreams unfortunately... as long as we don't assemble together as a community and show mojang that we all want those features, and it's not just 1% of the player base who wants this, then they won't bother to add anything other than what they want.
If we unite and show them what we really want only then they might implement things like that, as well as other things the community wants.
But the community seems pretty divided, especially with Java and Bedrock editions being vastly different due to mojang barely caring about parity.
I just wish the community was more united sometimes! We could get so far...
That’s going to always be a dream because neither Sodium or Optifine are developed by “companies”
Just a dream. Optifine is trying to stich up a decapitation.
For minecraft to implement Optifine and Sodium properly, there'd be a need for lage chunks of the source to be rewritten.
@@an2thea514 worth 1 million dollars for each

@8:21 is that a shader mod for MC? If so what is the name?

8:13 "I made these signs birch to make camman18 fans angry"
Phenomenal
This is such a nice analysis and the most thurough explanation I've ever heard so far. However, this makes me wonder about more mods: Can Mojang buy out Fabric and make it its modding API? How about Sodium? Iris? I guess the answers for Optifine wound fit in these cases as well, but I think these mods haven't diverged too much from the base game as much as Optifine did.
I could imagine how spaghetti code Notch's code is/was and it needs a heavy refactor for even close to OF code quality which is a very big work, especially in compensation POV. I guess this is the answer to why Microsoft just rewrote Bedrock in C and forced it as a main Minecraft version instead of the Java version (of course they have other reasons too (eg multiplatform and the marketplace, but this is probably one of the main ones).
java is more multiplataform than the C, in C you need to compile to every device, java you just compile to JVM and it runs on everything that JVM runs, for exemple i can't play bedrock in Linux because microsoft isn't compiling it for linux, and the code isn't opensource so nobody can fix it, my true guess is optimizations, especially for mobile devices, and well, nobody can mess with the C compiled code(beacause it's assembly), so more power to microsoft(that's with java is easier to make mods, even if the code isn't opensource, it's easier to understand JVM code, than assembly)
@@vilian9185actually you can, there is a non-official launcher that uses the apk, but I know what're you talking about, it's not the same ;)
Java is multiplatform, but what cost? Need many resources and the complexity of a game like this it's relevant. If they use common libraries, compiling the Bedrock edition from C is no problem for almost any OS, of course, it probably needs open-sourcing it too (or keep it close source, but provide packages to more popular distros (eg .deb) like in other software did), so I don't think it's purely a technical problem, but more likely profit orientation/business strategy.
How does optifine, a mod for minecraft, not work with minecrafts source code? How after all these updates does it still work?
Solid video. I really enjoy the visuals too
3:59 Interesting, I had no idea!

"I made these signs birch to make Camman18 fans angry" lol
Not surprising the story is more nuanced and was a compatibility issue.
Also, I'm somewhat doubtful they will go for Sodium, considering much smaller mods e.g. Starlight were made redundant where they improved their own lighting engine with similar solutions. Not impossible since Sodium is more widespread but for that same reason implementing it could be hard. Not impossible but would likely end up looking quite different in the end. Hoping Mojang themselves can help to boost performance in other ways too...
I kinda agree myself, but needed to end the video on something that would make people think or comment :D
Definitely could see certain devs being hired tho.
I'd argue it's already slowly being added to vanilla by mojang, such as with the addition of the telescope zoom things and the attempt at adding shaders
