So a few days ago, I posted a message asking if this was even possible. I got Minecraft up and running on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 without any microsoft account.

I only play single player, but maybe there is an unofficial server one of you host, that I could play on? I’ve never played Java edition before, so I never played online.

I’m also getting used to minor differences between Java and Bedrock. Like crafting items is so different. It’s very akward with a controller. Took me a day or so to figure things out.

Also, are there SUPPOSED to be this many enemies when you first start? I was building my little survival dirt hut, and then when night time came, I counted 14 creepers. My hut kept getting blown up. I had no time to rebuild, because creepers survive the day, and for some reason were very glitchy at first. They were staying still until they saw me, then they’d fly at me like an enderman, only to instantly explode. No Hssss. Just instant bombing. 14 times in one day cycle.

I’ve got a bunch of torches around my house now. And I built a creeper disposal system. Shame they don’t drop gun powder if they fall. Oddly enough, zombies still drop rotten flesh if they fall.

Still waiting on skelitons to fall into my trap.

Now I just gotta figure out an enderman disposal system, and a spider disposal system.

Also, the game says I’ve been here for 25 game days. I’ve yet to see a single animal besides octopuss. Is that normal?

    The creepers teleporting and then exploding is the internal server failing to keep up - as in, the device is struggling to run the game logic. You could try turning down the settings and it may help, but I’m not familiar enough with the device to give you a solid answer.

    Yeah I usually have a hidey hole for several days until my main structure is complete. You can probably play on servers that have the unverified or whatever option turned on. I forget the actual name of the setting but it will remove everyone’s account skins.

      Huh, TIL.

      I’ve never knew that online mode turns skins off if you have the setting off. I guess it makes sense since it’s basically telling the server to not expect to have an external network/validate account, but still interesting.

      I’ve only ever fiddled with having offline mode when I was running Geyser/floodgate to allow people on bedrock, but I think that must have a skin manager on it.
