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.

Someone did link it in one of the first comments I think. Maybe they took it down? I looked on the website but I couldn't find it either.
I don't play that version plus you run the risk of not being able to use modern updates.
They are not forcing people outside of the UK to do age verification. However, they are allowed to do that in the UK. Please reread what I wrote. All people IN THE UK must do age verification. Mojang have agreed to comply with the British government. So we don't have a choice.
The British Government as I said in my post. They have the power to make Microsoft and Mojang do anything they want.
I think the problem is that VPNs only work for websites not software. Minecraft is client based. So it might work for browser versions of Minecraft. Dunno about the actual game though.
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 could force websites to take down those mods. We will have to wait and see. I am sure there will be work arounds and loopholes.
Ah I don't know anything about that sorry. I am sure some form of MC will still work without age verification no matter what they try to make us do.
Mojang will prevent those mods from being visible in the UK the same way that Imajur is not available in the UK without VPNs.
