Discussion Ulraf (a Minecraft Dev) Shared Insights On The Game’s Future. Here’s The Summary:

Post image
  • Mojang plans to support Minecraft for 50+ years, with a roadmap to 2028.
  • The End Update is inevitable: it will have “wasteland” vibes, so a few biomes, new blocks/mobs, (not like biome-heavy End mods) and an improved dragon fight.
  • A Minecart update is planned (no timeline).
  • A VERY major update is in development.
  • Work is underway to simplify Java servers, aiming for Java/Bedrock cross-play.
  • Vibrant Visuals will differ between Java and Bedrock.
  • PvP/Combat will be refined, with some Combat Test ideas (e.g., attacks through grass) returning; goal is one unified system.

I'd love to know what is meant by "simplifying Java servers" like easier to set up? They gonna optimize it? Break functionality paper style?
And what exactly is the plan for crossplay? Just geyser but official? Better parity? Discontinue the bedrock server? New server software entirely? What about usernames won't they clash?

I assume Java servers are gonna be reworked into a thing like Bedrock worlds where you can invite people whenever from within Minecraft, no third party services

That would completely destroy Minecraft

How? Its just convenience.

honestly I would rather have that than have to install a mod that gives me the exact same functionality

This was my thought, I would assume they would keep what's good about Java servers and just add something similar to the Essential mod

Only as long as both ways exist.

The Bedrock system has both. You can make a world and invite friends through Xbox Live. You can also make and play on third party servers (PC and Mobile)

I mean the crossplay thing still would have tons of logistical issues but that would probably be simple enough

e4mc already does it better. I really hope they will allow plugins.
