    Do people just tend to ignore the fact there's a whole community of creators who make mods and other content for bedrock that's not associated with the Minecraft marketplace?

    People think bedrock modding is ruined only because of marketplace but they are ignoring the actual creators who make for free and they are a reason that bedrock modding is ruined. They think whole bedrock is about marketplace lol

    Yeah it's annoying, I would know cuz I've helped with and made a mod myself back then, these sort of people who just spam "bedrock is shit cuz marketplace" feels so demotivating, mostly with how many agree.

    Demotivating as in, all your hard work and other's hard work, down the drain because people overlook it just because of bedrock's negatives.

    Im being fr, it looks way too good to call bad. Like, i tried making small mods for only my own gameplay, and i know how hard it is. This is really cool

    Bedrock modding is actually ruined, It mostly just has addons which mojang has full control over...

    Its not ruined yet but its getting ruined because of marketplace and people like you. Thanks to curse forge we have mcpedl which has anything we want. And if we cant find it, we just go to r/freeminecraftmaps and decode the cipher in base64. It makes it like an adventure if you think about it and i like it, instead of grumbling about marketplace

    What does that have to do with Microsoft not optimizing it's game and prioritizing funneling players towards the marketplace because they'd rather take money than earn it?

    < corporate greed

    < look inside

    < optional addons that aren't neccesary for core game

    if you wanna use catch phrases them you need to use them correctly

    We can get them from the place you get too: INTERNET. Its not hard to find a pirate of a mod just search for it in freeminecraftmaps and copy paste the base64 code

    You got downvoted, but you’re correct. There’s very few people that play bedrock and n pc so it’s mostly consoles and phones.. you can’t modify files on consoles so you’re leaving out a large chunk of the bedrock players

    1. it's cherrypicking. there are also good paid addons. but to find then you need to do actual research instead of doing "they showed me few cases of something bad so that means everything there is bad" research
    2. prices are set by authors, so it's author's greed not company greed
    3. lack of moderation is problem, indeed. but as I said firstly you can do research about said addon and secondly you can just not pay at all and use free alternatives

    You shouldn't have to search through the Mariana trench for high quality content, the point of a marketplace is to offer quality content above extremely basic stuff like the couple new weapons addon I saw on the front page, or literal skibidi toilet skins.

    There are restrictions on prices and even then "creators" have too much power

    There is no financial incentive to moderate it therefore a marketplace will NEVER work. It's that simple. Don't open the door in the first place.

    Except the same applies to Java, you have to do your research on what's good and what isn't good. Nothing is different.

    Except you don't have to go far to find high quality content on Java. Searching Minecraft Java mods pulls up CurseForge or Modrinth as the first results.

    Yes, and you're gonna find alot of shit mods on there. Remember the recent Dweller epidemic? You're still gonna have to do your research, just like on Bedrock.

    This just isn't true, first 5 skin packs I searched required payment for all the skins. You could also make half of them yourself in under 30 minutes most of them aren't very good.

    How is it corporate greed? Sure getting pop-ups is annoying… but you don’t need to spend money on microtransactions to play minecraft. Most bedrock players I know haven’t spend a single cent. All the stuff you need to spend money is is entirely optional and doesn’t effect the main game in any way

    I think it has to do with Microsoft focusing on the marketplace rather than fixing bugs or optimizing it

    The content itself isn't great but people should consider when on the MAIN MENU, all 8 buttons can lead to the marketplace

    but y'all realise that bedrock players can download mods from outside and not spend money in the marketplace?
