Honestly, if they don&#x27;t add in enough modding support, the game may very well split, with the last Java editions never receiving official updates but with all modding continued to be done to them.  It&#x27;ll be odd since the source itself can&#x27;t be split, but I don&#x27;t see the modded experience dying.<p>Personally, modded minecraft is the only type I continue to pay.  If I didn&#x27;t have the choice of mods, I&#x27;d rather go with one of the better options among the infinite number of minecraft clones.
