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.

I'm talking about mods that could allow running commands. Please re-read this comment chain.

Mods hosted on websites not based in the UK cannot be taken down by the UK government.

So yes, people in the UK have to abide by the age verification ( if they want social features, so you do have a choice). But people in the UK can also download and install any mod they want.

Age verification sucks, but at this point in time all we know is that it will be required for social features. Running commands, which seems to be your main concern, is not a social feature

Mojang will prevent those mods from being visible in the UK the same way that Imajur is not available in the UK without VPNs.

The chat will be disabled if you do not do age verification. That prevents the ability to use commands. How else can I explain it? And yes mods can be removed by the government and by the studios themselves such as the infamous hot coffee mod for GTA 5 from Rockstar or various modded versions from Nintendo games like emulation. The mods only stay up as long as Mojang or Microsoft do not send a cease and disist order. In fact, a quick google search shows that many mods got banned on Curse Forge for going against the terms of service from Mojang and Microsoft. Such as mods featuring guns or content they deem to adult oriented. They also have a profanity filter that they implimented recently to censor things. You are clearly just trying to argue here so I am not going to continue this conversation.
