Java Account Migration: A Fun Announcement by Dinnerbone (view on YouTube) [show]

“

Hear ye, hear ye! Some important changes are coming to Minecraft: Java Edition accounts, and Dinnerbone is here to tell you all about it. Listen to his uplifting speech about how transitioning to a Microsoft account will make playing more convenient and secure, without changing the Java Edition you know and love.

„

Summary

Dinnerbone is hosting an event, labeled as "Minecraft Account Movement and You *An Uplifting Talk from Dinnerbone", where he is promptly rotated normally by a security guard before starting a speech. Saying they intend to make Minecraft more secure, he explains they will move all PC Minecraft games to one account, and add two-factor authentication, for free. Villagers seem pleased with this news, but an enderman teleports away, startling everyone present. Dinnerbone stresses that the change is positive, but someone claiming to "represent the modding community" asks if this will mean the end of mods or custom skins. He says no, and a pig speaks in response with a comically deep voice, which the surrounding audience applauds.

Suddenly, someone claiming to "lead the armies of the PvP community" marches in with many other players, demanding to know how this will effect PvP. Dinnerbone, confused, just says it won't, and that satisfies them. Another person asks how to move their account, as well as what the meaning of life is. Dinnerbone dodges the latter question but clarifies that another video will come out in the following months to elaborate on the process. A creeper then asks if it will have to pay to migrate, exploding with joy when Dinnerbone assures people they won't charge anything. Another player asks how any of this is fun, to which Dinnerbone excitedly says he'll teach everyone about two-factor authentication. Hearing crickets, Dinnerbone then shows off the Migrator cape.

As everyone leaves, Dinnerbone continues to lecture.

Summary

Dinnerbone is walking down a road, preparing himself to smile convince Java players to move to a Microsoft account. He brings up the cape, assuring himself that it isn't a bribe. He arrives at a house, oblivious to a vindicator chasing a fletcher in the background. Ringing the doorbell, he tries to help someone migrate, but is immediately shut down without a word. He moves onto a castle structure, ringing a bell block, and is greeted by a ghast. He goes to another house, and is nearly burned by lava. He goes to yet another house, and is spat on by a llama, but gets an idea when he cleans himself off with the cape.

Returning to the first house, he's mistaken for a fictional player named LunchMuscle, but quickly assures the homeowner that he is not. The homeowner explains that "some joker" is bothering them for their personal information, which Dinnerbone clarifies will not happen with migration, while one of his security guards apprehends LunchMuscle. After linking them to Minecraft.net, they take the cape and agree to migrate. Appearing at a new house, Dinnerbone greets a father, who mistakes him for a birthday clown. He is asked if he is the clown, and doesn't know how to respond. Dinnerbone then arrives at a house labeled "Premium Sweet Premium," where a premium player lives. He stresses that everyone, even oldest players, must migrate their account, to which the premium player claims to have "seen the first sun rise over the Overworld," wanting to "see the last," thus accepting Dinnerbone's "quest." After giving them their cape, a llama spits in Dinnerbone's face again.
