The pristine beauty of old minecraft, new just doesn't hold up

I can understand complaining about Mojang putting basically 0 effort in the updates, what I don't understand is how you can say the game used to be better.
It's the same gamel, with more stuff.
>muh hunger meter
There's nothing wrong with the hunger meter, you are just looking for stuff to complain about, to explain why you don't enjoy the game anymore.
Maybe you burned out, maybe you just grew up, but I am 100% sure the updates have nothing to do with it.

I am convinced the issue is that we know too much about the game and it's inner workings to find it exciting anymore.

As a kid I everything I saw was new and amazing and I didn't have a clue what kind of stuff was even possible in video games, so I thought absolutely anythinh crazy and cool could happen. Now that I know the exact "optimal" way of playing the game there's just nothing that will excite me anymore.

It's sad because I can't find the same kind of excitement even for new games that I'm not already familiar with because I still know what video games can and can not do.

don't know what youre on about, we're here to talk about old minecraft aesthetics.
plenty of them on the net, just gotta find one that fits your fancy. people really like alpha but infdev was wild at one point.

imo it's got to do with how primitive the world looks compared to now. there's a certain elegance in minimality. miss me worlds where tall grass wasn't shat all over it

Come home white man.

Which looked nice for the time, but weren't really better than today's.
Yes, the game is slightly darker, at least now it doesn't hurt your eyes playing.

Actually looks kinda alright.

Did they nerf fire at some point? It definitely doesn't spread that quickly anymore.

Beta 1.6 is when fire spread got cucked.

The reason you don't understand it is because you don't understand the actual reason why people prefer old versions. The game is most definitely not the same, with more stuff.

play games from genres youve never played before

This is exactly why I don't find the original Animal crossing exciting to play anymore. I know how it works on a fucking molecular level and it's no longer fun.

Try playing with friends.

The more Minecraft focused on "adventure" rather than being a sandbox the worse it became.

this.
what was the last good version number again?
the one just before they added the exp system

wrong, rather than being a survival game is what you meant

Minecraft doesn’t have the draw anymore because most of us just finished everything they ever wanted to do in Minecraft and everything afterwards are just shallow imitations of our nostalgia + way too much pointless content

Wild how I stopped enjoyed minecraft exactly when Beta 1.8 came out. Definitely just a coincidence!
It's not "slightly darker", the entire atmosphere is different. Minecraft used to have a bright, comfy, and happy atmosphere, which is gone now.

Wurm is better.

The adventure thing would be fine if it was actually good. But they half ass the game in 20 different directions

>Minecraft used to have a bright, comfy, and happy atmosphere, which is gone now.
Oh yeah, now minecraft has a dark gritty and realistic atmosphere...

This. But I'm not going to lie I actually really like modern Minecraft. I find the world generation to be pretty great and I get some stunning worlds. Shits buggy as fuck right now though.

W-what?

downloading this now

sure man

Because the beauty of the beta mincraft server must not perish from the earth

Based disabled chad.
Uncultured swine.

minecraft is ugly as shit and always has been

i can't even get to the nether
getting owned in minecraft feels like there's always something more lurking behind the mist

Is old Minecraft nostalgia the biggest form of autism on this website?

haven't played minecraft in ages, but i was under the assumption that optifine had been dethroned

Yes, like even the 2b2t chads desperately crave Caves and Cliffs. Pining over minecraft beta is just dumb.

What can you tell me about the functionality of that elaborate build? How is it designed to be both pleasing and effective?
You can't. There is no reason to build anything in modern Minecraft.

I used to love playing on vanilla survival minecraft servers and they are all gone now pretty much.

I enjoy the capabilities of modern modded Minecraft

I was in my 20s at the time, zoomie.

Adults are subhuman

Both soul

That's what it is. Fuck.

I try building something before realizing I prefer the resource extraction aspect of the game. I become a wanderer, strip-mining entire mesas of gold and iron just to forge them into blocks. Why? I have all the gold cubes, but no reason to use it.

Minecraft is one of those games that are only really fun when you don't know what to do. Probably the reason anons push mods so much, it's the closest you can get to reliving that feeling of cluelessness.
Unless you're dicking around with friends on a server, minecraft becomes really boring really fast once you know how everything works.

This is me but instead of diamonds it's cobblestone.

This is why I never play Minecraft minus anytime my nephews wanna jump on.

I do like watching Minecraft content though. Hermitcraft is fucking wholesome and always great to have on in the background.

stop playing with autists user

nice blog

It's all so tiresome.

I hate to suggest this but try an rp server.

>friend group starts a minecraft server
>actually a little fun for a few days
>they always say "we'll stay on this for a while" basically
>that never happens
>one friend always pays for these servers
>he's just gonna stop eventually because of these ADHD fucks
I don't even play Minecraft that much anymore, or at least like it how I used too, but damn.
