At first I thought it was only Java edition but now it seems that all platforms will have it. We have to upload things like Digital ID or other methods to Yoti, a third party company, to verify our age if we want to use social features such as the chat. This means if we don't even in single player the chat will be removed. Then we can't even use coords or commands in Java single player. As of now it is unclear how and when exactly they will add this but they said on their website it is next month sometime. Not sure if it will be online only and if it will be a certain update or all updates. I doubt mods will be able to get around this. Mojang will probably tell them to be removed.

You can't even use commands? That's not a social feature.

[–] me_myself_and_I@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The chat will most likely be disabled if you don't do age verification. Thus you can't put commands in the chat. Even in single player.

They have the ability to enable you to open the chat on singleplayer, and if it's a command let you do it, but block anything that doesn't start with a / or that starts with /whisper from being sent to servers. It's not all or nothing. Although knowing Mojang I don't have great faith in them.

That's gonna be impossible to block, as plugins can just add their own commands /msg /send /w /etc. So this will either fall on the plugin developers having to 'mark' their custom commands, be very impossible to enforce or command usage will be blocked
