      When accessing the Minecraft website from a device located in Brazil, the geolocation feature redirects the user to the Portuguese version of the page (https://www.minecraft.net/pt-pt/), which is meant be used in Portugal. Instead, it should redirect the user to the Brazilian Portuguese version (https://www.minecraft.net/pt-br/), which, right now, is practically useless, since it's only accessible by manually editing the URL.

      I should point out that, despite both variations of the language being very similar, there are still significant differences, which could affect the comprehension and user experience of Brazilian players. (That's the reason the website is translated to both dialects in the first place).
