I watched the final Minecraft movie trailer and I think it is a pretty good representation of how crazy Minecraft has become. It has been a few years since I played but last time I played it the game was slow and bloated.
I’m confused as to what features you hate so much, you said in another comment it went to shit 5 or 6 years ago. This lines up with the village and pillage update, but you don’t need to interact with villagers or pillagers at all in the game if you don’t want to.
So maybe you hate the busy bees update? That basically just added bees. And isn’t necessary to interact with.
So maybe the nether update? Of course to finish the game you so have to go to the nether. They turned it from a desolate wasteland into something more interesting with different biomes, added piglins and hoglins, and bastions. Is this what you hate? I think the nether update was the best update yet and added variety into a previously boring dimension.
The thing about Minecraft is you can play it however you want, you don’t have to beat the game, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You can play SkyBlock, you can do archaeology, you can play on PvP servers. You can join roleplay servers. And the endless mods make it infinitely customisable.
You say it’s slow and bloated but my very outdated PC runs Minecraft at well over 100fps (although i can only say Linux performance is good, idk about windows).
So I’m not sure what you’re talking about. The game runs well, doesn’t force you to use any features you dont want to use, and gives you full control over how you play.
What does bloated mean in this context?
So play the version you like.
No since it has serious security problems
Modded minecraft can be quite entertaining. Vanilla… meh.
No. People have been complaining about the new features since beta times. Example here.
And most complains boil down to “why are vanilla developers focusing on this gimmick feature? Players will play with it for five whole minutes and forget about it. Give us better core gameplay!”. I think that it’s fair.
That’s one of the reasons why I’m interested on the Luanti project. Good Luanti modpacks can do better than that, much like modded Minecraft is often the solution for vanilla shittiness.
Were you playing Bedrock? I’ve had the opposite experience on Java; it seems the game runs far more smoothly than it did in years past. And while a lot of content has been added, I don’t think it detracts much from the core of the game. (That’s very subjective though).
Why is content that makes the world alive always referred as bloated? Last i played you can totally play in a way that doesn’t interact with the newer content.
You really can’t
They totally redid it 5 or 6 years ago and now everything is so complicated. I like VoxelLibre since it seems to capture the classic Minecraft gameplay
I got into Minecraft back in the day because it was a very solitary experience in a Lego playset. As soon as they added villagers and other sentients to the world, it lost that charm for me.
Java is fine, I dont think I play anything newer than 1.12
Who moved my cheese!?
When was peak Minecraft? I haven’t played in a decade
