i've got possible good news for you then, there's a project that adds a translation layer between the two server protocols[0]. it has some limitations dealing with the different quirks and features that differ between both games[1], but it looks like everything else works fine. you could try that out if you find it to be a better option than wrangling with windows updates as for VR, there's a third party mod for java[2], i tried it a couple years back and it felt pretty smooth, had no issues with it, but i don't have a point of reference to compare it to bedrock VR because i never tried it [0] https://github.com/GeyserMC/Geyser [1] https://geysermc.org/wiki/geyser/current-limitations/ [2] https://www.vivecraft.org/

Just wanted to point out that there's a pretty interesting project called Geyser[0] (along with a plugin called Floodgate[1]) that allows Java and Bedrock Minecraft users to connect to the same Java server. This might be an avenue the author could take to allow the tailscale auth here to work. In my implementation I'm using PaperMC[2] as well.

In Tailscale Authentication for Minecraft
Minecraft for kids is arguably safer on Bedrock servers and clients with the parental controls managed through the Microsoft account. While Mojang made efforts, the premise of the Java version was unrestricted server community and that remains the dominant paradigm. Not everything should be for kids, not saying “think of the children” and use Win10 or iOS, just commenting on a less known value-add of a Microsoft Account for Minecraft parents: How does Minecraft keep my child safe? With the Better Together update now out on Windows 10, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and recently Playstation 4, any parent or guardian can rest comfortably knowing that there are a few systems in place to keep their child safe. [And able to cross play with friends on any of those.] If your child is playing the Java Edition of Minecraft then they're s

till being protected by all the great features Mojang has baked into the legendary game. However, the Java Edition of Minecraft does not require Xbox Live integration since it does not support crossplay with other devices, and therefore loses out on many of the parental control features parents enjoy elsewhere. If your child is playing Minecraft on PC, it might be worth getting them the Windows 10 version instead. It's always on-par with every other platform for new features and updates, supports crossplay between platforms so your child can play with more of their friends, and can be moderated by Xbox Live and Microsoft Account parental controls. That's a win-win-win. https://www.windowscentral.com/minecraft-guide-how-keep-your... // Note that summer camps tend to require the Bedrock version and Microsoft account for this reason. It’s possible to get interop, unofficially, e.g.: BedrockConnect: https://github.com/Pugmatt/BedrockConnect Geyser: https://github.com/GeyserMC/Geyser/wiki/Supported-Hosting-Pr...
In I Will Never Use a Microsoft Account to Log Into My Own PC
I understand the -1, but you have to understand that to a user the choice is sometimes between: 1. Create crappy bug report and move on quickly to get things done or: 2. Do not create a bug report and move on immediately, to get things done I try to file whenever I can but when it's getting late and I want to go to bed I choose option 1 sometimes. Maybe I should choose option 2? For example, take the Nextcloud bug filing template on GitHub [0]. It's quite a long read but sure, worth the effort for free software I agree (Nextcloud is my favorite project, my life is in there, on my server)! However, I may not know exactly where these things are: ``` #### Web server error log <details> <summary>Web server error log</summary> ``` Insert your webserver log here ``` </details> #### Nextcloud log (data/n

extcloud.log) <details> <summary>Nextcloud log</summary> ``` Insert your Nextcloud log here ``` </details> #### Browser log <details> <summary>Browser log</summary> ``` Insert your browser log here, this could for example include: a) The javascript console log b) The network log c) ... ``` They also want config.php, contents of `sudo -u www-data php occ app:list`, ask you to do this: Login as admin user into your Nextcloud and access http://example.com/index.php/settings/integrity/failed Also all versions: ### Server configuration \*Operating system:\* \*Web server:\* \*Database:\* \*PHP version:\* \*Nextcloud version:\* (see Nextcloud admin page) \*Updated from an older Nextcloud/ownCloud or fresh install:\* Moreover, I'm quite afraid to put my domain names or even more sensitive info onto a public website if I just copy and paste. All I'm saying is that a big button that generates everything a dev needs with sensitive stuff redacted (which should be doable here and yes maybe I should make a PR for that) will make the experience a lot nicer for the reporter and the dev. As said, the Geyser MC project [1] can do exactly this and to me it is a game changer, the whole process was fast and pleasant and it was easy to test the automated builds they made in the branch based on my issue and report back in context on GitHub. Pasting the JSON their report feature generates into their Discord channel together with your question and their ability to just !docs/something point you to relevant docs with a small command feels like magic. I found the whole process inspirational. I love all FOSS devs. You are my heroes. [0]: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/new?assignees=&la... [1] https://github.com/GeyserMC/Geyser
