r/MinecraftSwitch

I waited a year for Minecraft on the Nintendo switch 2. I played it from when I got my switch in 2019. In these days it was announced that 29 October the switch 2 version will be realesing and I was super excited. But now I see that you can only upgrade from switch 1 version for free till the end of this year. For me is fine but the delusional thing is that if you have Physical copy you need to buy the game AGAIN whit no discount. This news was so delusional cuz why I can upgrade the physical edition I bought. I did some reasearch online and everywhere I looked the response was because with physical cartridges upgrade you get free digital version if you share the cartridge eccetera. WHY I can’t just upgrade the physical edition and with the free digital edition shit we have already the spot toon made by Nintendo Themself of making that you can play the game only with the car drive like a physical game. I’m so tired of microslop trying to steal my money I this is not right. And all of this for a thing that should have been ree by default if you have any other version of this game like they are adding new things and stuff. Any thoughts?

I had a world on Minecraft for Switch 1 and I saw I got invited to the beta. I downloaded it and got my world from the switch 1 version. I grinded on that world, beat the game, got an elytra and got netherite. I would like to know, when the official Minecraft for switch 2 comes out on October 27th, will all my progress transfer to the Switch 2 version?

I seen that the Switch 2 upgrade is free for people who own the digital version of the switch 1 version.

In UK, the switch 2 pre order is £29.99 while the switch 1 version is currently £19.99.

Am I right in assuming if I just buy the switch 1 version I'll be able to get the switch 2 version but £10 cheaper?

Okay weird question I know but how do I make my game more laggy on the switch? I am currently in the midst of a raid and can't find the last wave. I duped the world and started trying to plow my way through the underground to find the wave but no luck. I thought of just using the switch editions lag to my advantage to break a block and peak through the walls but it's not lasting as long as it usually does. any way for me to increase the lag so I can see through the lagged block longer?

(I don't want tips about ending the raid, I know how to end it early, I just want to find the raiders so I can patch up that cave after to prevent it from happening again.)

(also in case you don't understand what I'm trying to do, if you break a block but the texture of the block is still there, you can put your head in the "lagged block" and just peak through the world and find caves/mobs)

Hi I'm trying to constantly access redirect servers like Galaxite, LifeBoat, Mineville etc. so that they redirect me to the server list to access a friend server, last time I tried it was on monday and it worked fine, but today just seems like it doesn't want to work, every time it tries to connect it makes me wait a bit and then says the connection time ended, and says to search "Kelp" no the minecraft help website. I did but it didn't help much, I tried with all the redirect servers, none of those specifically work, I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my Microsoft account, closing the game, take the game card out, connection seems fine, I have NSO, but nothing changes, still makes me wait some minutes and then says the connection time ended, is this a problem with Bedrock connect? did anyone else encounter this? To be specific, I DON'T have a problem accessing my friend server, what it doesn't show me is the server list itself because it never manages to connect to any redirect server, thanks in advance

My family has a world I started on the computer, and my kid and husband join from the Nintendo Switch. I get ingame first and send an invite to player 2, then whoever is third player goes split screen with player 2.

We haven’t had time to play since February…. Today we tried and it would NOT work. Error message said that a Nintendo paid online account was required. So kiddo got a free trial and tried to let her dad in via split screen, but it won’t let him unless he ALSO signs up for a paid online subscription.

What’s going on? Do we really need to pay for THREE subscriptions just to play together??!

I own both Minecraft java and bedrock, but recently both my PS and computer have broken and I'm thinking of buying a switch. So 1. Do I need to buy a separate version for switch or can I use my bedrock account? 2. I've seen on another subreddit that you can't store so much data on MC Switch, is this true and a problem?

Don't know if I'm getting an original switch or switch 2 so opinions between them are helpful aswell.

Are there any add-ons for connected glass textures on the switch? I want to make a void floor but cant find a single way to get the glass to connect :(

🌲 I’m opening a few spots in my Minecraft realm!
It’s an 18+ Bedrock survival world that’s been growing into a pretty unique little community. Instead of starting over every few weeks, the goal is to keep building on the same world and watch it grow over time.
There’s a mix of cottagecore, medieval, and natural builds, along with Vanilla+ add-ons that add some extra things to do without taking away from the survival experience.
You’ll find people working on homes, farms, towns, roads, community projects, and plenty of random little builds throughout the world. There’s no requirement to follow one specific building style either — you’re encouraged to make your own space and bring your own ideas.
18+ • Bedrock • Survival • Long-term • Vanilla+ • Building-focused
If you’ve been looking for a realm where your builds can actually become part of an established world, send me a message. I’m looking to bring in a few new people who genuinely want to play and stick around. 🤎
