LCEMG (LCE Mini Games) What is it? Wiki: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mini_games Fandom: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Mini_games
This subreddit is not related to Bedrock or Java Edition, but ongoing Legacy Mini Game projects outside of LCE that are associated with Java and Bedrock are welcome to be shared/discussed here. Just make sure to stay on topic.
Does LCEMG have crossplay? No, each of the 7 different editions/versions of LCE are restricted to their own separate playerbase
Note that the Wii U edition no longer legitimately supports Online functionality, but you can still play with friends offline via splitscreen
What Editions of LCE does... well... LCE consist of? LCE was released on 7 consoles: The PS3, PS4, PSVita, XBox360, XBox1, the Nintendo Switch, and the Wii U
Content varies between the editions, but for the sake of simplicity, only title update (TU) differences will be listed here:
PS3, PSVita, XBox360, and the Wii U Edition were discontinued on Update Aquadic (1.13 Java equivalent)
Xbox1 and the Nintendo Switch Edition were discontinued on the world of color Update (1.12 Java equivalent)
The PS4 Edition is the only version of LCE that was discontinued on the Village Pillage Update (1.14 Java equivalent)
Are there any differences between LCEMG on different editions? Yes, the maximum amount of players allowed in a single lobby can vary.
The PS3, XBox360, Wii U, and the Nintendo Switch Edition support a maximum of 8 players per lobby
The XBox1 and PS4 Edition support a maximum of 16 players per lobby, which can be reduced to 8 per lobby settings
The PSVita Edition is the only version of LCE that supports a maximum of 4 players per lobby
Other differences (if any) can be found in the wiki
- Does LCEMG have servers? Will they shut down? There are two answers to this question. No, Mini Games do not use servers to operate (not including the network they run through, like for example, PSN). They work through a peer to peer system. The console that hosts the game can technically be called a server, but there arent any live or official Minecraft servers that control Mini Games as a whole or will interrupt the games with their absence.
Mini Games on an edition can technically be called dead if nobody hosts a game, but they can also be completely and fully shut down if the network that allows the console to play online shuts down or ends support, like just recently, online play for the Wii U.
Yes, modding is pretty abundant among Minecraft, so there is always the possibility of network revival through homebrew and custom servers (like Pretendo Network for the Wii U), but this info still applies to official and traditional ways of online play.
Moderation: I am looking for people to moderate the sub once it really gets going. If you want to be a mod, let me know via dms.
