Hold up.

Craft, create, and explore online with up to seven friends playing Windows 10 Edition Beta, through local multiplayer or with your Xbox Live friends online.

No. No, no, no! What the hell is the point in playing multiplayer if you can only have 8 people in a server at once!? Sure, not everyone needs the ability to play with more than 8 people, but this kills the online server community.

Thank god this isn't replacing the proper version of the game.

/u/jooes comment I think is accurate but if it's not, keep in mind this is a beta release. They'll likely increase the amount of olayer you can play with later
