At first I thought it was only Java edition but now it seems that all platforms will have it. We have to upload things like Digital ID or other methods to Yoti, a third party company, to verify our age if we want to use social features such as the chat. This means if we don’t even in single player the chat will be removed. Then we can’t even use coords or commands in Java single player. As of now it is unclear how and when exactly they will add this but they said on their website it is next month sometime. Not sure if it will be online only and if it will be a certain update or all updates. I doubt mods will be able to get around this. Mojang will probably tell them to be removed.
So what if Mojang says to remove the mods? They probably also wanted to the remove chat filtering mods to be removed and yet they still widely exist. Mods will be able to fix this, have hope.
They could force websites to take down those mods. We will have to wait and see. I am sure there will be work arounds and loopholes.
Lmao, under what jurisdiction?
Microsoft have no power over what other websites host
The British Government as I said in my post. They have the power to make Microsoft and Mojang do anything they want.
The British government have no jurisdiction over websites hosted outside the UK.
They are not forcing people outside of the UK to do age verification. However, they are allowed to do that in the UK. Please reread what I wrote. All people IN THE UK must do age verification. Mojang have agreed to comply with the British government. So we don’t have a choice.
