Is This The Downfall of Minecraft?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 авг 2023
- I decided to go through the history of the Minecraft updates, spin-off games, and community to really answer the question, "Is Minecraft getting worse?" I talk about everything, from Mob votes to RUclipsrs, and from Minecraft Story Mode and Minecraft Legends to Minecraft Earth and Minecraft Dungeons.
What do you think? Do you agree with some of the opinions? Should I do more video essays like this one? Make sure to subscribe because this took a LONG time, and one more thing.. Have a great day!
Also, since I've been making this video, there have been changes to the information.
The mob found in the game files is the Illusioner, not the Iceologer.
Mojang fixed villager trading as well, so better enchantments are harder to get.
Yes, I forgot to talk about Hermit Craft, I'm sorry..
Also, the creators added to the QSMP are Brazilian, not Portuguese.
Let me know if I missed anything else.

Ah the mob vote. Probably the biggest mistake Mojang has made.
Adding useless mobs to the mob vote...
In my opinion, chat reporting still feels like a spit in the face.
That’s the biggest mistake MINECRAFT PLAYERS has made💀it’s literally voted by PLAYERS
@@Ocarus0Cycle tell me you didn't get the point without telling me you didn't get the point
@@patthepentagon weirdass
I feel like the “we’ll have all 3 but vote for what you want first” was the best way to go about it
The problem is the Minecraft community doesn't really understand how these mob votes work.
You're not voting on one of three cool things to add, you're voting on one of three binned ideas Mojang has already tossed out, but they're giving the community the ability to save one of them.
If it was an unquestionably good idea, Mojang would add it anyway. For instance, there is zero chance that if glow squids didn't win, that glowing signs wouldn't have been added anyway. Simply look at how the freeze effect was still added to the game, despite the mob that would have inflicted cold damage on the player losing the vote.
So, the mob vote is asking you to save one of three bad ideas, not giving you the option to get one of three great ideas.
And therefore, Mojang doesn't want to give you three. They'd rather give you zero. They don't want to add any of them, especially over time.
@@EvilParagon4 ah I see. I suppose the “all 3” format would probably work better for biomes then mobs
@@EvilParagon4that's cool and all but something you're missing is how useless and trash all the mobs are so instead of something fun and cute like the copper golem we got the allay which is useless
@@some_shitposting_idiot3023
To be honest Cooper golem is more useless.
Allay can be at least used in farms.
What’s killing Minecraft is Mojang, all the new rules and censorship being enforced by Microsoft, deleting old accounts, banning certain servers and mods, they’re burning the whole thing to the ground right now, they’re even making it harder to go back and play older versions of the game now because they “don’t have the important safety features” so it feels like I can’t even go back and play the game I bought 12 years ago
Microsoft or Mojang? Didn't understand, cause they aren't the same companies. And it feels like you're just nostalgic about it.
@@igorfire13 I mean it’s Mojang making the changes, but it’s Microsoft that’s enforcing all the safety features and censorship. And yeah I am nostalgic, that’s the only reason a lot of older fans still play Minecraft, but they’re taking away from what made Minecraft feel so special, a simple game with no rules where you can do anything you want, but nowadays they fill it with pointless stuff and censor your freedom of speech and won’t allow you to use certain mods even though they’re made by a third party and they shouldn’t be able to get in any trouble for them, Microsoft is too worried about kids parent’s opinions and not about the actual players of the game, a large majority of which have grown up playing the game and are now old enough to make legal decisions for themselves
Deleting old accounts? That's literally illegal since they bought forever licenses. The license in alpha was extremely favourable to the buyer.

@@thewhitefalcon8539they deleted Mojang accounts due to them migrating to Microsoft accounts they gave those account owners multiple years of heads up
1:27 The only reason the phantom turned out as a "mistake" is because of the way mojang implemented them, the phantom would be far less annoying if Mojang did the bare minimum and made them require light level 0 to spawn above a block and even so, much more could've been done to make the phantom an actual mob and not a random annoyance.
I do kinda like it cause it does force us to sleep and it makes me feel more immersed just a little bit. I mean I for sure do miss not having to go to sleep and just exploring.
Just keep a bed in your enderchest and they won’t be a problem.
@@41052your explanation isn’t limited, just have a bed in your inventory. And for exploring specifically at night, 2/3 nights you can do that anyway.
@@algotkristoffersson15 I do have a bed with me when I go out exploring, and don’t tell me you’ve never forgotten to sleep for three days as you’ve been doing something that has your whole mind? That’s also what I miss. Being able to be peaceful in your own base, that is fenced off from the other walking mobs.
@@algotkristoffersson15 or i can disable them when i create a new world because i aint going to bed every night and get attack by somewhat unavoidable flying enemies
playing Minecraft Story Mode was the most nostalgic thing I ever done. the creativity, everything, even 6 year old me tried recreating the places I saw. it was fantastic.
Bro in the bedrock marketplace you should be able to download old things like story mode or the old tutorial maps on the 360
@Steak_Hoagie_ yep but sadly Microsoft hates money
@@Biggerman159 ehh i could argue with that otherwise there wouldn't be a maketplace in the first place for instance they dont have that for java. and also on xbox the prevented you from downloading mods or texture packs and importing them
@@Steak_Hoagie_ I mean, it was because game consoles were way more locked down than pc
@@Steak_Hoagie_ also I said it ironically
The mob votes were a terrible idea. Did they really think that people would all be happy if they didnt get their option? There will always be upset players because of the votes
Lmao dream didn’t “do that as a joke” he genuinely thought the glow squid would add dynamic lighting
I Think Everyone
(Or At Least Some People)
Thought That
People theorize it was because he didn't want another aggressive mob to make speedrunning harder
@@emilyrodriguez5445we didnt theorize he literally stated “i dont want more pillagers we already have enough i dont need one on the mountains to RUIN my speedruns” later everybody found out he was cheating…
@@emilyrodriguez5445i think he made a video or it was during his livestream maybe after the glow squid was voted that he said that
@@markxnex973 Dream did technically cheat but let's not forget that it was due to a poorly coded plugin used for manhunt. It's not like he was deliberately going out of his way to cheat. We can and should still hold him accountable but let's not point fingers and call him a filthy cheater over one mistake
The iceollager had already been in Minecraft dungeons for a while before the mob vote and was a pretty disliked mob like the phantom, a lot of dungeons players didn't vote for it because of that reason
fair but i think it’s important to note that dungeons and main minecraft are hella different and so would the mob
One thing I think they need to understand is sometimes to listen to the players, even if they will need to change the lore they are going for. Like the mobs, Just get rid of the mob vote,since too many people troll with making fake accounts to vote the worst ones. Just make good mobs then if the community likes it, add it. no? dont. And the unwanted or uneccessary items/
But the problem is that us players don’t even know what we want most of the time. A vote is a cool concept, but most Minecraft players don’t have the same knowledge as Mojang staff about how gameplay gets impacted by different updates.
vote is there to bring conversation around the social media
Nah ur just mad you didnt get the mob you wanted
@lolnou4219 considering the players are the consumers, they know more often than not
@@calebrichardson5259 u telling me the average Minecraft player knows more about game design than literal game developers
A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN ME, SO I NEED THIS TO BE SEEN. The mob in the game files is the Illusioner, not the Iceologer. I was wrong! My point still stands though, because the other options are terrible..
Also, yes, I did forget to talk about Hermit Craft, that's my bad.

The allay had a bunch of potential but mojang be mojang.
No matter what happens, Minecraft will always be my favorite game, like it has been for over a decade.
Me too but its boring now when you did every thing
@@hamidmuharemovic4234technically you cant do everything. Build farms for animals, make big bases or villages to fill your world, remake structures in your own style, make a challenge for yourself. Even if you "beat" the game there is an infinite amount of things to do with your world. You could also try to get a blue axolotl or find the rarest minecraft blocks or items. It doesnt just have to be: beat dragon and get elytra, it can be much more
I bet I gave you a headache reading that 🙃
@@hamidmuharemovic4234or you could make your own lore for the world. Make landmarks so you know where you are in the world, make special forests made by you to make more atmosphere in the world, invite friends if they like minecraft, make your own texture pack if you feel like it. Infinite things to do :]
There is nothing even close to replace minecraft, so theres no reason to fear its death
@@hamidmuharemovic4234impossible. There is no way to do everything. Its endless. Ur only limited by ur own imagination

Correction: The part where Jesse, Petra, Lukas and Ivor trying to get back home wasn't in Season 2. Half of Season 1 was defeating the witherstorm and the second half was the same part you talked about. Season 2 was actually about trying to defeat the Admin aka Romeo.
Yeah, as a big fan of MCSM, that annoyed me so much, as well as the part where he said that Telltale never made profit from it. They _did;_ in fact, it was the only game since TWD that made any profit.
Don't get me wrong I love how he talked about it in this video - it hardly gets looked at in a positive light these days - but if you're going to talk about something like this, make sure you have all the details right, no?
Nice to see another story mode fan

4:50 A good idea would be bringing old vote mobs as an option in new polls. This would allow everyone to actually prioritise the best option possible and use some of the more underwhelming polls to bring previous second fave options.
No no no mob votes shouldn't even exist just let mojang decide the mobs they want to add at best the polls should be about whether you like the mob/mobs or not after Playing with them for a few weeks
@@idkmyname5893 They already are picking the mobs. I still think the idea of mob votes is fun. It engages the community and brings traffic to the game and to specific update.
What I am saying is that - as they clearly are not stopping the idea, there could be ways to make it more engaging and actually matter. They are already picking the mobs and creating the features for specific ones. Having whole roster available would actually give us a better illusion of a choice and it would mean they would stop giving us sub-fun options, like for example Tuff Golem.
You are proposing expanded input from the community, which isn't the worst idea - but it's kinda already a thing with the unfinished releases of the updates. With players giving their opinions through official channels (like previously Minecraft Reddit).
Yes, or just.. interact with the community. Maybe one year make a contest where people have to program a mob that didn't win from the mob votes, explain features etc and upload it as video, then submit it in a form with the link for the public to review, etc. Diverse ways a mob can be used will be explained and presented, and it would be an amazing way to connect with the community and get everyone talking and debating.
i also think bringing biome votes back would be best
Yeah fr I need my moobloom
bro minecraft story mode was so damn nostalgic.
Mob votes always leave a part of the community disappointed 😞
and the mob usually a dissapointment so everyone is upset
True but is it really better that no one gets input into what mob gets added to Minecraft? I thought most people were happy with the Sniffer. I voted Tuff Golem but I'm still not disappointed with the Sniffer.
@@datguy3581 I think the most disappointed mob vote was glow squid because the other option was much better.
@@TauTauofSkalgaEvery single mob except for Phantom was a mistake. At least phantom adds something. Elyctra repair and a hard reminder you need to sleep
@@aptspikeybird1005 there is also the others who could have added just as much, with the kraken fitting way better in an sea themed update
Theres something to be said about logging on after years of not playing. I went from beta 1.8.1 to 1.18.2 not playing the game and i felt like i was in a new world with Pillagers, Trading, Warden, Elecytra, etc. If it gets boring i suggest just stop and come back. I modded 1.19.2 and still rocking strong on my smp world as an adult.
Thats true. A ton of people seen to just play Minecraft for literally years of their life, and when they start to get bored, they will immediately blame Mojang for anything that they didn't like. A huge part of the community seems to not understand that no game can be fun forever playing on a daily basis, neither that their opinion of what they like on the game is the ultimate true.
It really seems in some degree mojang have made mistakes that they really need to rectify, but a lot of it is put down the controller and come back a few years later.
Honestly I'm pretty impressed by the new world generation after 1.19 (but I HATE how ores spawn and honesty the caves now are way too big imo)
One problem with Minecraft (Survival Mode) is it's progression system. Mods like Maljusz's progressive difficulty ,which makes mobs harder after entering the Nether, and again after entering the End are a good fix at least for single player. Another problem is more general, and that's the fanbase is split and the more mob and biome votes that are done the more split it becomes. Mojang should focus on improving existing items, and making the game possible to run without mods. Other things they could do is make more mob variants, and incorporate things they promised to add but haven't. A full update that addresses the community's biggest problems would if done well bring old players back, and hopefully entice new players.
Just a small thing to point out, the illager mob you referred isn’t the Iceologer, it’s a different mob called the Illusioner that’s been in the game files since 2017.
It’s weird it’s an almost fully functional mob. And it isn’t even in the game. If mojang actually put work into it. The Illusioner would be a great addition to the Illager army.
@@drxtale9446 One of the devs said back at Minecon 2019 that they were planning on fully implementing the Illusioner into the game and adding them to raids, but we haven’t heard anything about that since then. I’m hoping this next update they finally get fully added.
It’s so strange hearing these things because I’ve played exclusively modded Minecraft, that I had to pause for a moment when you said the illusioner was just in game files.
It really is wild how far the modding community has surpassed the actual developers.
@@Chroniclerope the devs ARE modders they just have restrains on them. KingBdogz literally made the Aether mod
Modders make moving machines, furniture, add rpg elements, cooler magic, better bosses, more beauty.
Developers add insipid mobs, high effort low reward exploration motivators or another color of wood/stone- and we are supposed to get excited for it?
At this point updates are not just pointless but force inspired independent developers to rework their mods, plugins and add-ons.
Pls understand, is small indie company
All that stuff drastically changes the game and makes it a new game that some people like and some people don't like. Mods can be uninstalled if you don't like them - new features can't.
@@OHHHHUSBANT mojang ain't indie anymore tf 💀
@@Hornet049 >doesn't understand the joke
@@thewhitefalcon8539 ah yes, drastically changes the way exploration is done by adding tons of useless shit and never expanding the survival and explore part
I was obsessed with minecraft dungeons. I played for at least a few months and returned multiple times. I played the entire game with my brother the day it came out, and I cherish that memory.
However. I look back on what the game really was, and I just feel dissapointed. So many people, myself included, have wanted more rpg elements in minecraft and that's basically what dungeons was. Tangible enchantments, numerous weapons that allow for countless approaches to combat. It had so many features I wanted in the real minecraft, but it missed the crucial detail of being like minecraft. Sure, there's creepers and dirt blocks, but that's basically where the similarities end. Zero mining, zero crafting, just grinding. But it's spinoff, what more could you expect? Hmm, game balance, maybe. At launch, fighters bindings with radiance made you unkillable, anything less than that and the game was a slog to play through (it didn't help that fighter's bindings were one of the most unfun items to grind for). Apocalypse+ was a total joke when it released, to even beat the mid level difficulties you need a slow gimmick build, and had to inch through levels one enemy at a time. The pickaxe meta, whirlwind meta, tempest knife meta (a paid dlc only item) you can't expect every option to be viable, but to have a fun experience you had to pick certain weapons. The camp merchants were practically useless at launch, but they only got upgraded to be useful after the majority of players wrote the game off. The tower was dissapointing, it didn't even have multiplayer at launch in a game that heavily incentivizes playing with friends. Minecraft dungeons was a huge missed opportunity, to this day I pray they will add just a weapon or a mob to the real minecraft, but I don't think they plan on utilizing their troves of premade content anytime soon.
i think this guy is pretty obsessed over minecraft dungeons
I miss story mode, it was so much fun.
People hate the phantom but the other mobs were just as bad. A blaze with a shield, a mob that pulled you under water when your trying to cross the oceans or a mob thay eats your enchantments
The last one's literally a walking grindstone
I think the only problem with the phantoms is their absolutely terrible spawn mechanic when you have to wait 3 days (an hour) without sleeping in order for them to appear. This is annoying because intended encounter with those guys is unnecessarily time consuming and frustrating, but when you do not intend for them to spawn it gets even worse: they assemble into massive hordes to basically torture you. "Just sleep" doesn't solve the issue because we don't have a way to sleep and not change the spawnpoint. Hostile mobs are already here to punish a player for no sleeping, there was no need in this atrocity.
At the same time you can't just turn phantoms off and live peacefully since they have a cool drop: the phantom membrane, which can be used to repair elytras and make slow falling potion (a must have when you travel in the End)
At least the hovering inferno is a mob that only spawns in nether fortresses while those anonnying flying rib cages spawn in the overworld, a dimension where 99.9% of players build their bases in there and they spawn after not sleeping for 3 days, the game litterally punishes its players for not skipping the challenges of night time (which doesn't make any f*cking sense). The phantoms existence is mostly Mojang's fault why? Because the entire concept of that mob doesn't make any logical sense at all. For example, games like dark souls or elden rign offers its players some mini bosses that can be skipped all together, logically those games should reward their players for taking the challenges of defeating those mini bosses, imagine if that was the oppesite, after defeating one boss the game for example takes money from its players, lowers some of the playable character stats, or the game throws an anonnying powerful enemy that follow you where and when you ever go, and then you have to use an item or do some specific things in order to get rid of such punishment. Do you now understand why the phantom sucks as a concept and as a mob and why the blaze with shield is a way more logical mob?
@@el_gatoNegro do you really believe that the phantom is a quote “”mini-boss”” your delusional 🤣
@@benclark4823 He made an analogy
@@xdrastig_4207 we’ll it’s a stupid analogy 😒
My biggest issue with Minecraft now days isnt with the game itself. Its more with decisions Mojang/Microsoft have made for the community. Chat reporting, EULA changes. Forgetting the game has a wide audience of different ages and intrests.
I mostly trust mojang with the game, but I dont trust them at all with the community.
Personally, I feel like at the start of every update they have rly cool ideas and mid way they just loose interest and call it a day.
They add random stuff like axolottls, dolfins or sea pickles but not a single new boss.
The core survival gameplay hasn't changed since like 1.9, the only new stuff is a better set of armor and tools.
Nice to see someone else who's minecraft nastolgia comes mostly from Story Mode and DanTDM/Thinknoodles/Thnxcya Crazy Craft. I hope one day we get a season 3.
i remember watching that. I don’t think another season will happen just because Thinknoodles content has changed so much since then.
@@thebiggestfarterthateverfarted Still one of my favorite series to date
Unfortunately it's most likely never gonna get a season 3 but if it did, I'd like to see dimensions break down and jesse and his gang try figuring out why
Story mode? Nostalgia? My man you're young.
I never played Story Mode or Earth, and I heard Legends is bad so I haven’t bought it, but I played Minecraft Dungeons, and wow. It’s honestly amazing. A dungeon crawler spin-off of Minecraft was a greta idea and was executed really well, especially its multiplayer factor. Great game overall
STORY MODE IS SO GOOD! I watched and played it when it came out and it still holds up honestly. both games. deffo recommend it if you can get your hands on it.
sir as if you can@@ItsDarkHUD
There are too many items in the game that have too few uses. Mods are now pretty much required for the game to be fun
Story mode was the only spin off that wasn't bad. It gave somethig much different. Sad that the game got killed
The current games are made on force, hype that dies faster(support)
meaning story mode season 2 all minecraft versions that arent the first and minecraft plus were awful? maybe think before you speak
@@catsdogswoof3968 isn't minecraft plus a screensaver pack? I don't think it counts, it was more an "snapshot"
Old MC isn't a spin off, it is a developer process, which doesn't make it a spin off(it's a Wip of the Main game)
a lot of the complaints with minecraft recently comes from a lot of old players that prefer the way the old game is, Don't get me wrong it is FAR from perfect and the last couple updates have been mid at best, trails and tales is oddly good despite it being really small
I started playing Minecraft in 2019 on my PS4, when "Minecraft PS4 Edition" was a thing. I still play it and enjoy it to this day and I hope it will stay so.
In terraria you aren’t supposed to kill dungeon guardians yet still get one of a kind items. Mojang just doesn’t see rewards as fun additions
Warden being as it is is good. Imagine just storming him and killing and then freely roaming around looting ancient city while now you have to be sneaky, so the "mini-game" is very intense and interacting
But... you can't kill it easily? And multiple wardens can spawn so you can't just roam around? Minecraft is a sandbox game, meaning that the possibilities should be limitless. Players will try to kill the warden, and it's difficult so they should get a reward.
You can literally roam around and do whatever you want if you get like 20 pieces of wool xd
I've just recently started playing Dungeons again... After over a year
Also I ❤ MCSM, mostly for nostalgia but there were some really good concepts and plot-twists and the 2nd season had some seriously good story-telling.
I think the issue with modern Minecraft, is that Mojang is trying too hard to make thr game something it's not, while doing so in the laziest way possible, if that makes sense.
How in the world do you have less than 100k subscribers? You take so much time and love into making these videos!
I think that as long as the current and new content creators keep up their amazing work, minecraft wont die. Minecraft is currently relevant only because of its content creators
That's the case for everything. If people online stop talking about it, it mostly dies.
like pushcat@@brickTopia-stopmotion
Minecraft has been a loyal friend even when I seem to forget it exists its always there to remind me of simpler times. I think a lot of people seem to forget that if you don't like the version of the game you currently have you can always revert back to a previous version, modding Minecraft has never been easier so really if the game has something you don't like you could always just add something else or remove it with mods that being said I'm not going to pretend that every update is a homerun, I'm also not going to pretend that the mob vote isn't rigged.
Minecraft will always be my favorite game, even though I miss the old versions, I need to face the truth,I also love the new updates,and without them minecraft would probably die fast right now, and without the mob vote there will be no drama (I found out that when a community doesn't have a drama going on, it's gonna die fast or at least a couple of months, I still think that the minecraft creators just loves to see chaos tbh ) sorry if my English is bad lol
hmm
You can still play old versions and mod them
"One day, we'll look back at where we started,
and be amazed by how far we've come."
i love the "i was too scared to play in survival so i played in creative" because me too
I'm so upset that the Phantom was chosen over the Wildfire, a new boss. Now we have only Minecraft Dungeons to see the Wildfire in
I recently found a copy of Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 for my Nintendo Switch hiding in the back of my draw, I’m replaying it and I’m crying of nostalgia.
it's only downhill from here boys. good times dont last forever and the same applies to minecraft
The phantom is a pian
When they announced it and what it does, I always mined at night to avoid mobs on the surface so I thought nothing of this mob
Until traveling back to base at night in full iron (Personally I think iron got a debuff) And so many of them hit me at once my health went from 100 to zero faster than an F1 car at top speed, the fact that several can hit you at once needs to change because it doesn't matter what armour you have or enchantments if enough tuch you in one go you die and this happens a bit too often
this video is really well done and has good editing, in my personal opinion the main problem with minecraft atm is the updates i feel are lacking, like with the 1.20 features the only ones that i’ve even used were the new wood types i would love a end update like they did with the nether
How has this only got 1.7K views? Great editing and video. You just earned a subscriber :)
Edit: also i think you should've mentioned the 100 days trend since that has became really popular and created a new genre of minecraft videos
I think making a hostile mob you aren't supposed to kill is bad game design. That goes against everything the game conditions players to do.
I was actually so sad when I found out the copper golem didn't win the mob vote and I would love for it to appear again.
me as well, I thought the design added to the tech side of MC and help players build with Redstone.
atleast someone who appreciates the minecraft story mode efforts...we will miss it
The mob vote is cool on paper, but can't work no matter what they do. Minecraft's main audience is kids, therefore they're not gonna vote for the most useful and creative mob, they're gonna vote for the cutest mob.
Also with the updates, stuff in the Wild Update and Trails and Tales Update were cool features, but not worth waiting a damn year for. In the span of a year we got the Nether Update, and in that same span of time we got the Wild Update, and people still believe wanting more from updates is unrealistic?
Updates also don't feel inspired and just feel lazy. Look at the amount of inspiration that went into stuff like Village and Pillage and the Nether Update, they challenged themselves and added cool and unique things. The past 2 updates have just been the damn mob vote, new biome, some blocks, and a feature that they promised 3 years ago. Doesn't feel like they try anymore, just feels like they go, "oop time for a new update, quick think of 3 useless mobs and a biome we can add with some new wood!" Its honestly just sad.
yes, it's getting ruined, period.
Glow squids not being able to emit light like a torch really sucks. Just imagine how cool it would look if you had an aquarium with them. They would've made for awesome decor, providing an unusual yet unique option for builders to include in their builds. And just imagine seeing small glow squid ponds in the deep dark. I don't think it would be a stretch to have a pretty, yet rare light source down there. What a waste of what could've been so cool.
(2:50) The iceologer is NOT in game today, that is the illusioner, and it has been in game for far longer. It was not a part of any mob vote.
Yeah, I realised that after making this, haha. I made sure to put that in the description though.
Yes. This is the downfall of Minecraft.
I think the problem with modern Minecraft is that it's very obvious that mojang has a clear vision of what they want to do with the game, and we can kinda see that with all the new features they add each update.
The issue is that, well, MC isn't supposed to be like that. The game is meant to be very open ended, and you can sorta see that with the philosophy of older updates. Updates used to follow the rule of "hey, here's a new thing, go nuts with it", but modern updates are kinda the reverse, "hey, come check out this new thing, isn't it cool?" But there's not really any depth behind it to keep it continuously interesting, and worst of all, it's not connected to the rest of the game in any meaningful way, so ultimately nobody's really interested, and to a lot of people, maybe even the majority, in effect, nothing but a new advancement was added.
Like let's look at 1.20. the cherry blossom biome is probably what most would consider a 'good' update, because we get a whole new set of blocks and decorations to play with however we please, but the sniffer and the archeology are really 'bad' updates, because the sniffer really has no purpose, along with the archeology as well. They're more things you can do as a part of a checklist for when you're bored, but they're not true game changers. And now nobody's happy.
This is really your opinion. Only yours... "And now nobody's happy" is kinda a lie, you just... can't say that...
@@igorfire13 I suppose you're somewhat right, but I've not really seen anyone actually _speak_ positively about modern versions. General opinions I've seen seem to be on the middling to negative side, and even people who have a positive outlook of modern versions are unhappy because mojang/microsoft keep sabotaging their own game, so I do think it is a fair statement to say that nobody's really 'happy' right now.
@@lotgc, out of million people that play Minecraft it is impossible to say 100% surely this is a rightful statement. Many people prefer playing minecraft privately with their own good or bad opinions... About sabotaging their own game.. Uhm, I think they're updating the game, that's what supposed to happen. They can't throw anything not thought out into the game, cause people will be even more angry about that. Unfortunately, not all understand this.
@@igorfire13 well you shouldn't take everything 100% literally, that's how you miss the point of everything. I'm not trying to say that everyone's unhappy, I'm trying to explain WHY people are unhappy.
As for sabotage, I'm not talking about simply updating the game. Do you not know what mojang is doing with their ToS? They've basically given themselves the absolute right to shutdown anything they don't like, whenever they like, without question. It's really scummy.
Storymode really put a lot of magic into Minecraft
This channel is severely underrated, great video and unbiased relatable storytelling! You’ll make it big eventually just keep your head up 👍❤
I can't keep my head up. 2 years and I'm done.
I think it's good creators are keeping Minecraft alive, but it isn't enough to stop Microsoft from killing it by letting the community report each other and unnecessarily banning off most of the innocent player base.
It's not getting worse, it's the players being spoilt and expecting more then they diserve.
Exactly.
Mojang's decision to focus a bit more on updating the already existing features is nice because it keeps the old stuff "afloat" and more up to date, making it more interesting to interact with. I really hope that they'll start adding the rejected mobs from mob vote (although I voted for Sniffer I think Rascal is an interesting mob that I want to see being added to the game in the near future) and actually do something with the already existing inaccessible mobs like illusioner and zombie horse.
Great video explaining why people played in the past or are playing, not only talking about the nostalgia aspect but concluding with the new trends. The length is short and the subject is well explained !❤❤
This video has almost nothing to do with Minecraft getting better or worse. This is just you rambling for 20 minutes about spin-offs and your nostalgia.
They have more than enough resources to do actual updates not the trash they do after a full year of work
I would've wanted Sniffer anyway but it's a bit too hard to find, it's annoying. I'd go for Tuff golem instead but I also fear how they'd screw up the golems so it's probably better in my opinion left to people who will make mods for it out of love. [usually having more features, more fair, maybe less or just a helpful addon unlike most.]
I actually loved Minecraft story mode lol and there was a deluxe edition that I got on PS3
Microsoft thought buying Minecraft would be like any other game, where it's all about the IP. But no one cares about the IP, they care about the game of Minecraft. And if you take that IP and make a completely different game that has nothing else in common, no one bats an eye. Slapping the Minecraft name on it means nothing if you can't even mine or craft.
"Is Minecraft getting worse"
>1.9 combat update
>Mojang sold and is now owned by a massive corporation
>Updates take 1 year to release despite containing small amount of content
>Mob votes
>Mob votes being rigged (i.e the Sniffer)
>Chat reporting implementation for Java
>Removing/excluding features for bullshit reasons (i.e Sharks not being added because they have a negative stigma around them being man eaters and fireflies being removed because they can harm frogs despite them keeping in the feature to KILL parrots with cookies)
>1.21 adding more stuff to actively not use besides the automated crafter
>Mojang putting more effort into spin-off games than the main game
>Ancient cities and Archaeology sites being added that provide the player with loot that is not useful
>The list goes on
Yeah I'd say Minecraft is getting worse. Part of it is on Microsoft but a majority of it is on Mojang.
It's crazy how mojang listening to the community is met with backlash and mojang not listening to the community is met with backlash
What is the point
agreed
Because they constanty miss the point of why players want certain features and underdeliver on said features.
at this point I'm considering just acting like new updates are mediocre mods and Beta mods like Better Than Adventure are the real vanilla versions of the game
Bro seriously went through an entire Minecraft analysis video and never mentioned Hermitcraft
the devs making the phantom and refusing to redo it, was their own mistake
1. there wasnt much information (as you say here 0:42)
2. they attack too quickly/frequently
3. they have basically zero alternative use, because its main drop doesnt really do much, when people just use mending
4. the durability system of the elytra being so poor in order to make the drop useful, was the elytra's main issue after the fact that they made it so you could fly nearly indefinitely when you use fireworks
Honestly, every point was spot-on. Games like Story Mode didn't deserve to be canceled. Sometimes, I think MC has fallen off with the amount of bad content around it these days. Everytime that happens, I look at what's good about the game, the things you can do, see, hear, experiences we have and never get again. This video was awesome, and you definitely earned a sub!
You deserve way more subs because these videos are really well made.
“A company called Telltale Games” mate telltale is a very famous studio, you don’t need to introduce them like we haven’t heard of them
I’m still mad at Minecraft Story mode. I paid money for those games and since I never downloaded the episodes I bought (I deleted the app)
So my money is gone and I can’t replay it. Literally my money got stolen because I bought it
Thats like minecraft just banning players because they ent broke
I started watching minecraft around 2015 it wasnt until 2016 when i tried it, i was pretty bad but i slowly grew to be average. i always thought of the game showing me how far it has come, but it was showing me how far i came.
You cant always make everyone happy but sadly its always the bad things among the so many good ones that gets talked about. Think about how many good things that were added instead or think about what we could do to improve ”bad” features.
WHY DO YALL KEEP MAKING THESE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
NO THIS IS NOT THE DOWNFALL OF MINECRAFT, SIMPLE.
...the moment you start talking about story mode,i started crying...why?When Minecraft story mode had its first episode for free afterwards i went to youtubers and saw the rest...but now...i wish i had money back then as a child to buy the rest and help telltale...but no kid could save an entire company...so i just remember those cherished moments ;v;
Here's why I think minecraft spin-off games are essential to the main game:
1. Various different ways of playing minecraft. Minecraft is no longer considered a game, but a game series. (according to Jeb)
2. Lore. Personally, I am a huge fan of the lore, and things like disc 5 (which btw combines the lore of Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons) really excite me. I am the kind of person who would play a game only for the lore (that's why I played Minecraft Dungeons and bought the Minecraft Dungeon's novel)
3. Content. Mojang has been known to add content from one game to another. Games like Minecraft Legends, which began development in 2018, were the foundations to updates like the Nether Update. Even the wild update had some foundations to Minecraft Dungeons, since one Dungeon's mob can be heard in Disc 5, before a cut to music.
4. I LIKE THEM WHY DONT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WHY MINECRAFT DUNGEONS HAVE NO UPDATE WHY PEOPLE DONT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THEM THEY LITERALLY ARE THE BEST GAMES EVER... is anyone still reading???
I am still reading.
@@PhoebeLovesCharSiewRice reading what?
@@helenos_152 Your comment, just finished reading
I wish they'd bring back the biome votes way better then mob votes
Spin-off expert here.
Minecraft Earth devs had a great idea how to make the game playable during pandemic. But again, good idea, bad execution.
Minecraft Dungeons - I disagree. You have many different ways and builds you can play with. Some would choose melee taking, other summoning pets, other ranged build.
Minecraft Legends - It's not even RPG, never was supposed to be. It's an action strategy.
This vid deserves more views
Hey as long as you can get on a new single player world and you can have fun, then the game is still good for you, and yes even if you loose all your stuff in lava.
Minecraft had fallen off just yet, but the downfall may be soon. But when we think about it, Minecraft is over a decade old… it’s just meant to be
i think the minecraft lore is just a marketing practice to get more community interactions
also, the allay was the best choice, copper golem is worthless, randomizers already exist.
Very well made video. I think it is less of Minecraft getting worse or Minecraft getting better and more of a transfer of style, size, and community from the earlier days to the modern era. As someone who has played Minecraft for the past 12 years, it is a wonderful game that I do love, but most of the content and gameplay options of the modern community aren't really too much to my liking, but that's just how these things happen. Games evolve, alongside their playerbase, and Minecraft is no different.
The Warden being added is one of my favorite things about Minecraft. Once you get far enough in the game, you get all kinds of powerful weapons and armor that pretty much makes you undefeatable. In a sense, the Warden reintroduces that feeling of vulnerability that you experience similar to when you start a new world and have nothing. You don't know if you turn a corner and you'll die from a Creeper or get pelted by a Skeleton. For the Warden, no matter how prepared you think you are, there's a good chance you won't survive if you encounter it. I like that it isn't a "boss" mob and it's meant to be avoided. It makes going into the caves more fun and exciting! Also, I really miss MC Story Mode as well. I never got to see the second season to it the full way through.
Edit: To add, this is a really good Minecraft video! You did a good job of explaining everything for how it is. It really opened my eyes to how much the franchise has been through and how much has changed. I love all the new updates and content! I got into Minecraft around the end of 1.16 and I don't think I could ever stop playing it.
Yeah, but you have to admit, Skulk Catalyst? It should have much better drops, even if it is useless. (Like the dragon egg.)
@@megadustone I believe Mojang said the only reason for that was to take away the incentive for players to fight it. Unique loot or even a good chunk of XP would make players want to try to take it out. Guess Mojang really didn't want it to be fought lol. Even the XP of the Catalyst was reduced. Me personally, I'm fine with it. (I still believe there is a possibility for a Sculk Dimension, perhaps with its own bosses)
The 2021 vote was so dumb, because all the mobs there should have been added. Hell, all the mob votes are dumb. It’s basically a way for mojang to put less effort into making new mobs. They think of a lot of different mobs, then only add one and then have a get out of jail free card in the “you guys voted for it” bullshit.
I will always remember waking up on a Saturday morning, going to the kitchen to grab brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts. Then getting on RUclips to watch The Atlantic Craft Jurassic Craft series. I always loved watching Cody and Joe get into some outlandish situations while trying to deal with dinosaurs in minecraft. That will always be one of the times I loved best about minecraft. maybe I don't watch Atlantic craft as much anymore but I have that jurassic craft playlist saved to my playlists whenever I feel like rewatching.
Unironically, notch’s vision for the game was great and ever since his departure it has been steadily downhill from there. Say what you will about the content of his character but the game was much better. Nowadays it seems like they add 1 or 2 good additions but bloat the game with a plethora of other additions. At that point, I would rather add what I want piecemeal like with steam workshop mods
kid in school once said he loves minecraft but as soon as they shifted towards making games with minecraft IPs like dungeons and legends, he knew shit would all go downhill for the actual game from there
it is not getting worse but we could have better updates
the thing that irritates me about the spin offs is how much more they have, like they have improved biomes, fun new plants and blocks, cool mobs yet when minecraft updates come round i feel like we really dont get much which i would be fine with if it weren't the most sold game in the world, even that id try and ignore if it weren't for the April fools updates, look at the lest one there were so many features added, half slabs, a new "dimension" in the form of the moon! it was buggy yeah but but it was more than playable and added some stuff the community has been asking for for years!
it just feels like when a new update comes out it only takes me an hour or so to lose excitement because i feel like thats it ive done it now, i wish they would do updates less frequently and add more or something, maybe do a golem update and add the tuff and copper golem?
I hate when people say "minecraft is getting more complicated". No? It's just adding more stuff so you keep playing, isn't that what all games do!?
Bro had no point with that music disc thing, 11 has been in the game for an extremely long time, it doesn't "devalue" the process of obtaining the discs
People being mad that there wasn't alot of info about the phantom is so funny because like, that's most of the game, minecraft doesn't tell you Jack, and let's you find out for yourself, be told by a friend or something or confront the wiki, minecraft hasn't had a tutorial in forever, and phantoms just showing up is surprisingly in the spirit of the game
"I have nothing to do" then dont play minecraft. It is supposed to be a game were you use your own creativity and imagination.
Microsoft bought Minecraft, and now are trying to make other games to benefit off Minecraft’s success using its name. Minecraft dungeons, Minecraft legends… has anyone ever actually liked them? No, probably not. They add like 2 blocks per update, and do shit all else.
