My brother got minecraft to play with my niece and there are two versions now, from what I can tell one that’s like what I was playing a decade ago but updated, and one that has microtransactions. The old one lets you download skins and mods for free. It seemed like a no brainer but he went with the microtransaction one, and now my niece keeps asking for cosmetics.

Remember the custom warehouse level filled with crates and everyone wearing a crate skin?

You also learned some valuable PC navigation and troubleshooting skills in the process of adding the skin to your game.
