I'm Literally Banned from Minecraft 😡

or a few years, I've been a pretty big fan of Microsoft, since they are the company behind my favorite operating system (Windows) and my favorite video game (Minecraft). But after what happened today I no longer think of them so highly. The reason, as you can see in both the post's title and the image, is because I was literally banned from Minecraft multiplayer, and the marketplace, and even from changing my character skin. Minecraft is on the road to becoming as bad as Roblox.

I'll just say it right now: Microsoft, at least whoever banned me, sucks.

Thankfully my ban only lasts 2 days, so it won't be long until I can continue playing like usual and I won't need to worry about figuring out how to evade the ban. And I was only banned from multiplayer and marketplace content so I will still be able to build houses and play the game on my own. But I am NOT playing Java Edition until the time is up, since as you can see above, you must click the "Acknowledge" button to continue playing, which is essentially admitting defeat which I am not doing. I'll stick to Bedrock Edition the next few days.

And clicking the link does nothing helpful either, it just takes me to a webpage that explains how to report a player.

You can see in the screenshot that I was banned for "abusive language used in a directed, harmful manner." Define "abusive" please, Microsoft.

A few days before the ban, I was playing Hide and Seek on the Hive. If you've ever played that game mode before, you'll know that players can vote for which map they want to play on. Sometimes the map I voted for didn't win, so I would jokingly type in the chat that the voting is rigged. That's the only thing I can think of, since I never am intentionally rude in the chat. But how is it abusive? And even if I was serious, making a remark about the voting being rigged is not abusive in any way.

I even read through the entire Minecraft community standards, EULA, code of conduct, and ToS, and there are no rules in any of those documents that I would have broken by joking about the map voting being rigged.

However, once again, it isn't the end of the world, since I was only banned for 2 days. But if I ever do get banned permanently, I'd probably start a lawsuit against Microsoft as soon as I turn 21. And I'd use the money to buy an alt account to start playing Minecraft again. Let's hope that never happens though.

But anyways, that's all I had. Please share this post wherever possible to help raise awareness of Minecraft's huge problem. And whatever you do, don't EVER joke about Hive Hide and Seek's map voting being rigged.

First Release of the Stellar Mesh!

  Image source: wallpapers.com B ack in May, I started working on a project called the Stellar Mesh, which aims to establish interplanetary communication and open up the possibilities for extraterrestrial VPNs. And just today, I finished working on the first release, and I published it on GitHub! The first release covers the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt. Really, the Stellar Mesh project will never be completely finished, as there are trillions of planets in the universe. However, I still think it will be a valuable tool for space exploration in the future. The Stellar Mesh project is released under the Unlicense, meaning it's in the public domain, so you can basically do anything you want to with it. Anyway, I just wanted to write this post to tell you about the project's first release. Check it out  here ! --ILikeSlugs

Happy 15th Birthday, Minecraft!

  Image source: insider-gaming.com T oday (May 10, 2024) is a very special day for many Minecraft players. It is the fifteenth anniversary of the game! So, to celebrate, I thought I would write a blog post about it. Minecraft's development began on May 10, 2009 by a Swedish game developer named Markus Persson, better known as Notch. The game was released for the first time a week later on May 17. Because of this, consider the occasion to be a week-long celebration. Notch was the founder of Mojang Studios. Unfortunately, in 2014, Minecraft and Mojang Studios were acquired by Microsoft, and now we no longer receive very good feature additions. The reason why we no longer get very good features is because Minecraft used to be much more of an indie game (Notch could wake up one day and decide to add a person in a frog suit), but now it is owned by a much larger company. Essentially, there are more people now who must all agree on adding a particular feature, rather than a small group.
