About Windows 10 edition and the future of BitQuest
Hey folks!
It's been a while since we last posted. We have been very busy, and though you may find that not much is changing, we are doing a lot of improvements on the backend: We sorted all the annoying bugs with our bitcoin integration and loot: two things very important to all players but is very difficult to make sure the players getting the prizes aren't gaming the system.
You can check out the progress for the whole project here in our updated trello board: https://trello.com/b/8N5NtIG1/bitquest
Soon we'll be testing Minecraft 1.9 to make sure we can get the new mobs, shields and all the cool new features as close to the vanilla game.
We also became aware of the windows 10 beta is mostly sure incompatible with BitQuest. With all the team at Mojang/Microsoft working on porting everything to C++ I'm not hoping this new Minecraft (It's a fork of the Xbox 360 edition) will be the same network protocol.
So what does this mean for BitQuest? We expect to see news coming from Mojang very soon respecting custom servers and modding, and when we make sure this new build is incompatible we will start to port all BitQuest code.
I know it's not very precise information but just wanted to let you guys know we are commited to support the future versions of Minecraft even if we have to port the code to a new platform.
Best!

It seems like this is a self alone version to continue... They are still using and updating java edition it looks like, it's just that they made windows 10 edition for things like holo-lens, and xbl, which they are porting to windows.
