Twitch is an American video live-streaming service popular in video games, including broadcasts of esports competitions. It also offers music broadcasts, creative content, and "in real life" streams. Twitch is operated by Twitch Interactive, a subsidiary of Amazon.

Twitch is one of the many collaborations with Minecraft, typically taking the form of Twitch Drops.

Functionality

This section describes content that has been removed from the game.

 

This feature was present in earlier versions of Java Edition, but has since been removed.

Announced at MINECON 2013, native broadcast Twitch was added in Java Edition 1.7.4.^[1] This allowed for players to directly air their gameplay to the platform, as well as integrating chat systems into the game. Several broadcast settings were included, including quality, framerate, bandwidth, send metadata, mic volume, system volume, compression, enable chat, and user filter.^[2] In Java Edition 1.8, this functionality was tweaked to require a confirmation before starting, before the functionality was removed altogether in Java Edition 1.9.
