Spontaneous Explosions

It has begun.

It seems Microsoft is tightening is grip on Java Edition. They're forcing everyone to migrate to a Microsoft account. Their reasons for this are valid and make a lot of sense. But I fear it this is just the beginning.

I don't play Java as my main version but I do not want to see it become like Bedrock. Look what Microsoft has done to Bedrock: Marketplace, the persona skin system, freaking emotes.

I look at it as Java being developed by Mojang, whereas Bedrock is developed by Mojang and Microsoft.

Just to be clear, even though I don't like the direction they're taking Minecraft Bedrock, I still play and enjoy it frequently. For the most part it still follows Java in terms of gameplay.
