So it said there's a new launcher available, and it won't work... Will it deny me access to new updates?
Hmm... haven't heard of that yet. But I'm gonna be playing this afternoon, so I'll see. (Wait, you're up at 1:50AM?!?)
I got that alert the other day when I was loading up Minecraft too, and I was a bit confused as well! I dismissed it and it seemed to work fine (logging on Sandlot of course.) I believe it’s only if you’d like to play xbox game pass (not sure what that is) for now, but I’m not sure if it’ll have more importance in the future.
Yeah, the idea is that with Xbox Game Pass, you get Java and Bedrock, you just select which you want to play and you're off. That's what the new launcher is for. Java and Bedrock in the same place.
