Minecraft is expected to maintain its chat reporting and moderation tool. This is despite the controversy that the feature has gained.
Mojang Will be Continuing to Add the Chat Reporting and Moderation Tool
According to the story by Niche Gamer, the chat reporting and moderation tool was recently introduced by Mojang was just recently introduced. Although the features are already common for different online games, it wasn't that well received by the Minecraft community.
The feature is often used to combat harassment as well as different poor behavior. One of the largest issues with the new change is that it can expand into third-party servers as well.
Fans Describe the New Tool with Backlash
The expansion includes numerous rules, which also include some of them that are laxer regarding the content and words that are being used. A certain Redditor who is known to host a server said that this particular system can be abused.
The feature has reportedly led to bans by those that do not have an understanding of the context of the tool within the servers. In response to the backlash, however, the company announced that they do not have plans to back off.
The Game's Community Manager Acknowledged the Feedback but Said Minecraft will Not Step Back
This means despite the widespread backlash, Mojang will not be removing its new moderation features. The new information will reportedly come across as off-putting for a lot of Minecraft fans.
MojangMeesh, a community manager, noted in a comment that they appreciate the feedback from the gamers. This, however, does not mean that the feedback will be able to change the different design principles of the company.
New Feature Adds Other Changes Aside from Just Chat Reporting and Moderation
The changes do not include the upcoming reporting system. Although it is understandable that there has to be moderation within Minecraft, with a lot of kid gamers that use third-party servers, this would be a massive overstep.
An article by PC Invasion noted that a lot of players are unhappy due to believing that they should be able to self-moderate the servers that they pay in order for them to host. The new feature also includes an allay duplication, sculk catalysts tweaks, as well as some other improvements to the chat window in-game.
Game has Been Played for Over 10 Years by Some Players that are Now Adults
As per GamesRadar, Mojang released the Minecraft Jave Edition 1.19.1 just recently. An article by PC Games N notes that a lot of players have been playing the game for more than a decade, which constitutes a portion of them being adults.
The article then noted that the adults who play Minecraft feel like they should not be watched over when playing the game. Minecraft, however, is a game that is still designed for younger players meaning security features are still necessary to help protect them from harm.
