Howdy, I’m the Group engineering manager for Java at Microsoft (yep we now do Java!). Our group is working on minecraft’s perf (starting with server) so expect a steady rate of improvement over the 2021

discuss

To be clear to everyone. Not commenting or promising on the future product direction of the Java server or Java edition (my group doesn't own the product or product direction in any way shape or form). There's just some stuff we can look at now to improve the status quo since a bunch of my team are also fans of the game :-)

That's good to know, as server performance has been miserable since 1.13.

Also good to hear that Java edition won't be slowly faded out :)

That's really good news. Thanks for still supporting the moddable java edition!

Is there any chance of an official modding API to either Java or Bedrock? I know this is not the place to make such promises or announcements, but I’d be remiss not to ask.

IIRC there is one for the bedrock edition.

Wow thats great! could you also recode tnt physics similar to how they were in version 1.7.10 so that tnt cannons can work again?

The Java client is still in development?

pityJuke|5 years ago

Yes, Java is still important. The vast majority of user-generated content on servers is pretty much Java only. I also believe Java is still the authoritative version of the game (i.e. things come to Java first, before eventually coming out to Bedrock) - the lead game designer for Minecraft is a Java dev.
