2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

Today’s game is Minecraft Legacy Console Edition. You might be thinking “You mean Xbox 360/PS3/Wii U/etc.?” But nope. Someone has made a port of it to PC. I will admit I only scanned the source code, and while it looked clean it’s not an endorsement of this being clean. Either morally or malware wise.

Besides that though it’s nice. The game includes multiple mashup packs. I tested it by playing the Halo one which was fun. I just flew around looking at what I recognized.

The game does have a major bug though, and this might just be because of Proton, but it crashes randomly (and very cleanly). The app just decides “nope. We’re done” and closes like that.

Multiplayer works too. It’s only local though so you need a way to share it over the internet like hamachi or Tailscale. Once that works thought you’re set. Me and my friends were playing a world and built this little cabin.

We ended up getting off though after we kept crashing at a specific point. It just seems we couldn’t escape this night like some weird Groundhog Day (or night).

I’m hoping the developers are able to clean this up as it’s mostly functional but has a few major flaws such as the crashing. I saw people online saying their saves don’t work either but besides that worked really well. It even has a Render Distance slider unlike the original.

instead of hamachi, may i suggest zerotier for your gaming needs?

runs on linux, CLI only though, but i found it ptetty intuitive to use. documentation is pretty good too!

the advantage over hamachi (don't know about tailscale) is peer-2-peer connection, meaning it's great for gaming with friends for the way lower latency!

the servers only negotiate the pathways between peers, everything else is directly between peers ;)

Instantly recognised lockout before you said it was a halo pack

Why console edition on a pc instead of just the native pc version

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

It’s a lot of little things. The lighting is a little different, controls, the UI, the tutorial world, even some of the content available. There’s some more but those are the major ones. It’s just got a different feel to it and some different content I favor more. I still love Java, but it’s also its own thing to me

Legacy edition is its own thing. It was made by a different studio and it’s better than Bedrock in a lot of ways

Was the hotbar always that high up in legacy console edition? I started playing around like TU3 or something (it was before creative came out is all I remember), but I don't remember that at all. It has been a long time though.

I think so? It might just be a placebo though and I’m misremembering
