I mean, all it's actually doing is making you migrate your Mojang account to Microsoft, which was pretty much inevitable at some point. Java edition isn't changing otherwise from what I can see.

There's going to be a BIG change to how ore generates, and no final decisions have been made yet.
Programmer gets Minecraft server running on his Canon DSLR.
It's the new Doom. Now @Squidleybits and @evilmike have something to do with their old bodies.

Just spent the evening migrating my son and wife over to Microsoft accounts.
It took a little under 3 hours, because my son's login was my wife's account, so first we had to change the email associated with his account so it wasn't hers, and we had to create a child Microsoft account for him, and in the process we discovered he'd already created a Microsoft account, and then there was some investigation, etc.
Anyway, they're both migrated and set up on the correct accounts now. I will migrate when I feel like picking MC up again. Whenever that is.
--Patrick
I'm not exactly rushing to upgrade my account, either.
But it's not because of the Microsoft account requirement, it's more because the game's direction has changed to be more like Fortblox³: Chasing the Fad and it just isn't anywhere near as interesting to me as it was when I could just have a server running in my basement where 5 people just logged in and out and mined/crafted whenever the mood struck them rather than being, "Come for the mining, stay for the <powerthirst> AWESOME BOSS BATTLES YEEEAAAHHHHH BAYBEEEEE </powerthirst>."

If anyone on here is still playing Minecraft and uses PolyMC as a launcher, then it's best to uninstall it immediately.

The developer has revealed himself as Alt Right of some flavor, and kicked out anyone else with control over the repository. The community had been implementing a code of conduct that prohibited hate speech, and the dev just couldn't handle not being able to be a piece of shit and use PolyMC as a way to spread propaganda.
I haven't followed the issue closely, but as far as I know that's the short version.

I was at Walmart last night buying dog food and toilet paper - unrelated items, by the way - when a kid about 9 or 10 ran past wearing a creeper costume. I said, "Nice creeper costume, dude!" The kid's face lit up and his mom said, "That's from Minecraft!" I've never seen a kid roll his eyes audibly before.
Yeah, lady. I think if I know the name of the character I probably know the name of the game it comes from. Geez.

Mojang has now put out the "Last Call" to migrate your account over from Mojang to Microsoft:
In other words, Mojang can no longer help you migrate your account after September 4th, and the final cutoff for (figure-it-out-yourself-I-guess) migration is two weeks later, on the morning of September 19th.
After that date, you CAN still play Minecraft (Java edition), you will just no longer be able to authenticate your account with Mojang, and so it'll be on the server owner(s) to keep undesirables out on their own.

I got the "final warning" e-mail about how my minecraft access would go away if I didn't migrate to a microsoft account by September 19th (as Pat referenced in May), and I sighed and was about to pass it by when I remembered...
Those sons of bitches made me make an xbox live account to play Grounded multiplayer.
I wonder if that counts as a microsoft account.
Turns out - it does.
So I've migrated my mojang account to my burner xbox live/microsoft account.
You know that feeling where you discover something in your food only after you've eaten half of it?
Microsoft is buying Activision/Blizzard.
Overwatch is coming to Steam, with promises of additional
...yeah, I know that feeling, all right.
--Patrick
<waits just over a year>
WELP just about a year later and only 11 days until the deadline, but I got ‘er done.
Like Gas, I was all “I don’t want to make a new MSaccount for this” but then I remembered that I’m Microsoft-certified and DURRR I can use the account I have attached to my certs for this (it is a personal account, one not attached to any employer). So I did.

Not exactly timely news, but Minecraft players voted that armadillos will be the next mob added to the game, beating out penguins and crabs.
I'm sure @ThatNickGuy will be happy that armadillos are getting some love, even if he doesn't play Minecraft.
