I&#x27;ve been thinking about MC&#x27;s mod community as I recently picked Minecraft back up for a couple of days, and just how impossible <i>any</i> of it would&#x27;ve been if Microsoft had owned the property from the outset. MCP would&#x27;ve been C&amp;D&#x27;d in a matter of weeks and that&#x27;d&#x27;ve been the end of it. Today, while MS has mostly left the existing mod community alone, I&#x27;m sure they wouldn&#x27;t be friendly to someone who created an intermediary server that allowed the different MC platforms to interact, especially as they enabled this feature <i>only</i> for Windows 10 machines&lt;-&gt;Mobile in June.<p>Let&#x27;s hope this becomes Minetest&#x27;s time to shine.
