One even worse thing, this is catching attention so quick because it's Aether, a mod with millions of downloads (or more). Imagine this happening to a couple of small mod authors who spend hundreds or thousands of hours of their free time writing up a mod to improve the quality of life of modded players FOR FREE. Only to see their work being plagiarized and posted onto the market for $10. It must really leave a sour taste in the mouth doesn't it.

This is actually why kingbdogz and I were so passionate about getting this issue publicity. We don't really care too much about the Aether itself being ripped off, we can get by and we have enough of a platform for it to not heavily impact the reputation of our project. But there HAVE to be hundreds of smaller creators who are having their work blatantly stolen and sold for quick profit on the Bedrock marketplace. So ideally we'd like these issues actually fixed rather than simply drawing attention to our specific case.

As a bedrock player it is incredibly frustrating to see what Mojang is doing to the game. For example in the recent update we just got shulker cloning and protection working against potions and they have just started developing spectated mode. Basic modes and functions of the game we don’t have some being worse than others like red stone and mob spawning. Also we see that Java will get updates that add bedrock exclusive features which is great but we very rarely see Java exclusive feature, it’s to the point where basic things are exiting to the community for features that should have been added months if not years back. Tl;dr 1.20 should be a parity update where they make the games basically identical

This Aether mod clone is BACK ON THE MINECRAFT MARKETPLACE.

It took me less than 3 seconds to research and determine that the copyright on Aether mod content is "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0". Permission to "share" and "remix" allows for fans to do quite a lot of transformative work using the base concepts, and still distribute it to others. But selling it, and without so much as hinting at the original creators, let alone contacting them for permission? That is *offensively* blatant intellectual property theft, and I will absolutely disregard any other content by SNDBX that I might ever have considered purchasing.

Great to see a big youtuber finally speak up about the glaring development issues that are behind Minecraft, especially on the Bedrock edition. It's disappointing to see this happening considering Minecraft is backed by such a large corporation and should be treated in a way it deserves seeing that MC is their flagship title, but instead is suffering from the same issues many moneygrab AAA titles in the games industry are suffering from.

Even when you get 60 FPS in Java (which I usually do) there is microstutters from frametime differences, but Bedrock has consistent, smooth 60 FPS for me. I don't play bedrock much because I agree with the other part of this post, just pointing out the part I found inaccurate. I would assume, at least, a game hacked together in a language that's not meant for them, started by a guy who basically just copied leaked infiniminer code and changed the language, is going to be worse than a game rewritten in a normal language by actual game devs with years of hindsight.

9:45 Bug-trackers and status tags vary from project to project. The "won't fix" tag is extremely poorly worded and sounds very insulting and hostile, I have always hated it. That said, in this case, they tagged your bug-report as wont-fix because it's a duplicate of another bug, someone else had already reported it. It doesn't mean they're not going to fix it, it means _your_ bug-report is now closed and they will update the original bug-report about this problem as they fix it. (Another instance of wont-fix confusion is when developers tag a bug as wont-fix for a _specific version_ because they won't be able to fix it in time for that release and will fix it later. For example, a bug in Firefox might be flagged as "89 wont-fix, 90 wont-fix, 91 affected" because they don't expect to be able to fix it for version 89 or 90 but will try to fix it for version 91.

Microsoft does not fund their studios and actively forces them into doing things that are ultimately horrible for their games to prioritize short term profit. It’s a recurring issue. I really think making people target Mojang about this is just the wrong move, because Microsoft should be held responsible

They stole a mod (originally) made by a Minecraft developer 💀

I cannot wait for the brutal honesty in may. Mojang needs to be told what we all want to say

Great video! I can say you covered this situation pretty well and thoroughly, as one of the developers who was around while this was all going down. Regarding the map being off the Marketplace though, it was recently brought to my attention there's an exploit in the Bedrock Marketplace's system that seems to let Marketplace content still be accessible and assumedly purchasable (hard to confirm directly since I wouldn't condone purchasing this map even for testing things like this, but the option for purchase is still visible) even after being taken off the Marketplace website or in-game listings, since sites like Bedrock Explorer have re-hosted links to content (such as one to SNDBX's Dimension) which send you directly to the content's Marketplace page in-game despite the removal of official listings. It's likely an oversight on Mojang or Microsoft's part, but it feels like a pretty glaring one I want to bring attention to, in hopes it can be noticed and resolved alongside the other issues the Marketplace has.

Yeah it's something I'm not 100% sure how it should work but as far as I know Minecraft still *hosts* content that's been taken off sale so people who bought it can still access it. But it seems the URL for the store page remains active just inaccessible from in the game itself. My theory is that because SNDBX voluntarily took the map down after our copyright complaint, rather than it being taken down after a copyright review by Microsoft themselves, its treated in the same way that a map would be if a creator decided to take it down for any reason. Definitely seems like a loophole, I hope we can see it fixed asap.

Bedrock has never been up to the bar that Mojang set with Java, and its honestly just sad.

I cannot wait for your honest Bedrock breakdown! Bedrock being far and away inferior or Java is a hill I’m willing to die on and it’s amazing to me how much credit it gets just for being titled “Minecraft” even though it barely functions on some devices! Half the Minecraft subreddit is people posting weird bugs/game breaking glitches that all lead back to Bedrock edition! I wholeheartedly believe Java edition to be beautifully optimized (especially with the help of Optifine) for a fluid and intuitive gameplay experience on systems ranging from high end to medium-low end. It offers every paid Bedrock feature and more for free, including downloading community created worlds that are *not* tied to your Microsoft account and modding the game. And when I say “modding,” I’m not referring to Bedrock’s paid half-ass attempt at mods called “addons,” I’m referring to the countless high quality mods that can be installed via Forge or Fabric for absolutely free. The GUI on Java doesn’t lag when I open my inventory, it opens instantly. Bedrock, by default has the inventory GUI animate onto the screen after a short, but annoying, delay. Java remembers when I close my world that I don’t want the damn crafting guide to show up every time I open my inventory. Java doesn’t take it’s sweet time navigating through menus. The one *and only* thing Bedrock does better than Java is online play, if you ask me.

And thats one of the more minor issues that I’m upset about, i love making stuff with commands and redstone but i am very very limited with what i can do because bedrock just straight up doesn’t have half of javas available commands!

It also looks to me like most of the textures are not replicas they are reproductions that are heavily inspired by the aether mod. This is as if someone made a product 10 years ago and now someone made the same product but slightly different. I really don't see it as plagiarism but I could be wrong.

THANK YOU. Thought I was the only one with realm issues. Every single time I upload a world to realms it fails. Not to mention it severely lags when the realm is full of players. We’re getting scammed with how bad the performance is.

Since it’s all minecraft mods on Mojang’s game, they surely can’t have copyright of their own because the game itself isn’t theirs, although in the case of the aether, unlike twilight forest one of the authors is now a dev so maybe that shouldn’t be allowed without their permission, but mods made by third parties that are then copied don’t really have a reason to be legally copyrighted. However the faithful pack I can understand since they copied the original textures instead of making new ones

Edit: Aether Dimensions is back on the marketplace as of May 8, 2022. I dont condone what SNDBX is doing with Aether Dimensions, but how hilarious would it if Mojang decides to include Aether Dimensions into Realms Plus, hopefully cutting off the income for SNDBX.

this reminds me of the Faithful resourcepack drama

How can people steal mods and no one do nothing about it

For me, this is reminiscent of an older issue with the shating user-generated content in Minecraft. The issue being that in the modding community, you have people who download mods, then upload them to third-party websites, which, as you can imagine, hurts the revenue of mod developers. The major issue here is the fact that not only is blatant theft, (of a creative commons property, no less) but the theives also stand to make money from this. In my opinion, Mojang should take better care to enforce policies relating to copyright, and theft, so that behaviour such as this is discouraged.

The thing that passes me off more is a fucking marketplace trying to take every penny for features u get free on Java

“Oh cool! Faithful is on Bed- oh…” “Oh cool! The Aether mod is- OH COME ON”

There are many problems with how they treat the game. About that, can you talk about how Mojang made a fake bug that only marketplace maps have fixes, Mojang also refuses to fix the fake bug. Custom block models bigger than the normal 16x. Bedrock isn’t just the not as good version but it’s the one treated worse.

The problem is that mojang itself is rotting away, not minecraft. You see, ever since microsoft acquired mojang, their plans for the game have never been to impress the players, mostly anyways, but instead to make the most profit which is then eaten all up by microsoft, after that microsoft dumps a tiny fraction as mojang's next budget. This is why minecraft, the worlds most popular game, is being starved of updates and content, and even critical fixes are slow.

To put it simply, it Bedrock was caught up with Java and had the ability to use multiple purchases together, exactly like you can with mods. I would absolutely spend more than I probably should because playing it on my switch is by far my favorite. But I play Java on the computer simply because you can't put banners on Shields

Besides the marketplace, Minecraft Bedrock is missing a lot of fixes and java features. An example would be creating custom flat worlds. It's such an old java feature, yet mojang didn't make it possible to do *in game*. It's possible, but we shouldn't need an external program to do this.

I think a big problem with a lot of the bugs/parity issues is the fact that fixing then take a lot of effort, energy, and time. These might not be the biggest issues if thr community was supportive, but when mojang delays something, or scales something back go increase performance or reduce bugs the community gets very angry. They claim to want all these issues fixed, but do you think the community would honestly be okay with going 1-2 years with no feature updates?

Wow sounds like this theft was even more ballsy than the one discussed in last time.

I didn't know either one of these were stolen. They were directly suggested to me by the game. Now I feel bad at having bought them both.

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head with why this got released onto the Marketplace. The Bedrock Edition marketplace has tons of copyrighted material on it that definitely isn't officially released by the creators (EX: Among Us skins, various other anime and video game based skins, etc). This is because the internal policy prevents the folks that approve content from blocking it for copyright reasons. Why? It is to avoid liability on Microsoft/Mojang's end. For example, if they DID block for copyright infringement, it would make them legally liable for anything that does get through, and it isn't a reasonable ask to expect the people reviewing and approving the content to know about every piece of copyrighted material in the world. So, the responsibility for dealing with copyrighted content is left solely on the copyright holders filing DMCA takedowns. Similar to youtube, the DMCAs give strikes to partners that don't go away and if they accumulate enough strikes then the partner isn't allowed to be a part of the marketplace anymore.
