News improvement

[zzahkaboom24]

Improves the News section with proper articles, that match 1:1 the same with the original Minecraft Launcher.

Supports edition exclusion, but I havent implemented it yet, cuz I am still in talks (rather wanted to be) wether to add it or not.

If that's okay, or there is anything to improve, you can let me know too

I would rather add a checkbox like in the official launcher to change to this alternative url, because news like Hardcore Mode coming to bedrock are missing in your proposed feed. I don't want to open minecraft.net for seeing all of them

• Minecraft.net News current
• Minecraft Launcher News your proposal

Both news sources could pose a copyright issue per se

drafting to work on the potential changes

Search and news content are just mockup. Load more articles is functional.

What I've been struggling with, and the main reason why I am drafting this in the first place, is that https://launchercontent.mojang.com/news.json is stuck on "Discover planet earth III DLC" from January 16th 2024. I dont know why it did not show me in the Minecraft Launcher the first time, but now it does. That tells me that they changed the link some time ago to something different and I have yet to find the new link containing the metadata of the Minecraft Launcher articles.

I already made a checkbox in the settings that changes between the default articles of this launcher and the ones from the minecraft launcher, but while working on the search bar and trying to match that with the Minecraft Launcher I started noticing that.
