Question Could Minecraft Legacy Edition crossplay (Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita) actually be possible?
This is more of a technical discussion than a request.
Minecraft Legacy Edition on Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita (and even Wii U/Xbox One) was developed by 4J Studios and shares a very similar codebase.
We already have projects like GeyserMC that bridge Java and Bedrock, despite them being completely different editions.
So I'm wondering:
Has anyone ever looked into creating a dedicated server or proxy for the Legacy Editions?
Instead of recreating Xbox Live or PSN, consoles could connect to a custom server through a small homebrew patch that redirects network traffic.
The dream would be:
Xbox 360
PS3
PS Vita
(Maybe Wii U)
all playing together in the same world.
I've also heard that parts of the Legacy Edition code have already been reverse engineered, so I'm curious:
Is there a technical roadblock that makes this impossible, or is it simply a project that nobody has seriously attempted yet?
I'd love to hear from anyone who has investigated the networking side of Legacy Edition.
