  • You can still play single player but there will be restrictions such as not being able to use the chat (even for commands and coords) or your friends list. You likely won’t be able to access servers or realms. It is unclear if you can use modded versions or older versions to get around this new law. It is unclear how and when they will update this. You won’t have to use Digital ID only but the other methods are just as invasive. I believe this will be mandatory on all versions whether PC or otherwise. Yeah it is really dumb and annoying.


  • Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly how it will work. It turns out actually both Bedrock and Java will have to do age verification. We don’t know if they will let you use mods or earlier versions. Probably not cause then what’s the point? I don’t know how they will do it because they haven’t explained that part yet.

    Next month, Microsoft forced Mojang to comply with the UK government Online Safety Act. All users must upload Digital ID or some other form of Age Verification to a third party company called Yoti. Or else they won’t get to use the chat, friends list, and other social features. Bedrock is unaffected for now it seems. Yoti claim they will delete the data right away and not store it. This means that even in single player we can’t use commands and see achievements and stuff like that. Really annoying.
