  • I’m not in a position right now to look at the files. What language is it written in? I wonder if Bedrock was branched from this project.

    On Wikipedia, 4J is credited with working on Bedrock on the main Minecraft page, but not on the Bedrock page.

    Edit: actually, I see on the PS3 legacy console edition page that it says it was written in C++. However, it seems that pocket edition was the source for Bedrock. Perhaps this was a separate branch from pocket edition? I would guess the PC target already existed if that’s the case and was mostly used for testing until Bedrock came along and they made PC a full target platform.







  • Has the accuracy of the snapshots actually changed based on this edit? After all, if it’s factual information being presented…

    Yes! Quite literally, yes. They’re supposed to be an archive of what is on other sites. It doesn’t matter if the original site was, right, wrong, complete, incomplete, accurate, inaccurate, factual, unfactual, etc. If they change things, they’re editorializing and are no longer an archive, they’re new content - which is not the purpose people use them for.

    I do agree that it raises the issue of what other modifications there may be,

    That’s literally the point. It doesn’t matter how much you “understand the reasoning” (though you also think it’s childish and don’t agree with the actions). You can use it if you want to, no one is stopping you. The point is Wikipedia can’t trust it as a source of archived data and has every right to ban it.
