@@UYTx honestly i only like old mc because of the nostalgic textures. Generally new mc is way better in performance, creativity and multiplayer servers.
No, don't you understand? The technology for the technique of just running away didn't exist yet in 2009, it is a recent invention! No on ever ran away from things in the history of mankind before 1.16!
Not as easily without sprint. And saying "just don't use sprint" is a bad argument Spiders were designed to keep up with a player in Alpha, but they don't in modern MC with sprint. They should have their speed increased
not to mention he's comparing modern day minecraft to beta 1.8 which added sprinting and advancements/achievments on that version so he's arguments are ABSOLUTELY useless
"minecraft doesnt have freedom and is worse now because i choose to set the same goal of beating the ender dragon and get bored, so its obviously the game's fault"
@@purpleplays69420i can assure you, most players havent even beat the ender dragon, hell ill say for myself farthest ive gone to is the nether and thats it, most time i spent is putting zombies and skeletons into an underground jail, if you cant find fun, its not the game's fault. that's your skill issue.
@@TheCapitalWanderer I was literally talking about how people can’t even enjoy the game like you said, chill. I was making a joke about the comment which I guess wasn’t obvious enough
The worst part is that beta is actually a really fun, unique experience, but he does such a bad job saying that, that it makes it seem objectively worse lol
yeah. if you want a more full experience with more to do play modern and if you want a less overwhelming or more nostalgic experience play older versions. i genuinely wish i had access to the old Xbox 360 version of the game but i don't
6:57 yes I do agree old Minecraft content was better by a good shot, at no point in YT history should you ever view your favorite channels as “your friends”
I disagree. Personally, I never played Beta, but that's the main version I play. It's not about "missing being young"; it's about older versions genuinely being awesome. Dialko made a very good video about this if you're interested, called "It's not nostalgia. Old Minecraft WAS great."
No, he misses the old atmosphere of the game. I know this, because i started playing Minecraft in 2020, when i already missed my old childhood and the good old times(im still a child). But then this new caves and cliffs update came and i couldn’t enjoy the game anymore because of the new ore textures that changed the atmosphere of the game and the way I experienced Minecraft even though i was still excited for the game. I can also remember, that before the update came I already saw a video about the new ore textures and i was sad and annoyed and I hoped, that this video was just a prank but sadly this update was real and I couldn’t go back, because I played on bedrock. And the new Minecraft music just made it way worse. I just hope, that i get Java one day or that Mojang makes a launcher for pocket and bedrock edition and that i can enjoy Minecraft again:( (Sry for my bad english, i come from Germany and i hope, that u can understand what i mean and what im saying.)
also not true, a lot of beta builders never switched because the new blocks are creative bloat. not defending sipover but good builders (i.e builders refuge) barely use the new blocks because they look ugly outside of shading.
Yes. Like if you want to you can kinda still play Minecraft the same way you did 13 years ago. It’s still the simple sandbox it was. Just with new stuff so you don’t get bored as easily
6:05 it honestly feels like he doesn't even know what the word "Immersive" even means here. The reality is theres animals that exist IRL we have no purpose for, and there exists so many random environments we can experience. If anything it's the diversity of resources and things that exist without complex purpose in Minecraft that truly makes it immersive. If everything in the game existed purely to serve a purpose for the player, that would actually make in unimmersive
I have a counterpoint to one of your statements. "There are animals IRL that serve no purpose" is a statement that is 99% incorrect, since even flies have some utility in nature. Every animal... well, almost every animal has a purpose on nature. Basically: the guy isn't angry at useless mobs or features, he's angry bcs none of that helps to beat the ender dragon. After all, *"this is all u can do in moder minecraft, right?"*
@@umrayquazashinyapareceu1672 I wasn't using the statement "useless" in reference to their purpose in the ecosystem, rather I was saying they're not exactly very good resources for humans to use in production
I had a friend who recently got his hands to minecraft. Of course as an old player, I offered him to play the older version. He said it was fine and simple but the newer minecraft world felt so much more wide and mysterious. I can't blame him, imagine playing minecraft for the first time nowadays. The sheer amount of biomes and features would pretty much overwhelm you (in a good way).
Some Minecraft RUclipsrs: Urgh i hate new minecraft, so boring, old one was way better and more explorative… Also Some Minecraft RUclipsrs: -Full Bright, Night Vision Textures -Speedrun beating dragon and getting best loot -Create mega farms to collect everything they need automatically -build absolutely nothing of interest afterwards just for fun -build mob-switch to prevent mobs spawning -Create villager trading halls to get any of the best stuff in the game easily and within just a few mins -Play lower difficulty structures(eg. Spawner, mansion, chambers, etc…) with end game loot from speed-running -follow detailed tutorials without thinking of anything themselves -learn every small detail of the games code so that they can predict exactly what’d happen -etc…
Sipover complains about Minecraft not being a sandbox, but he then complains about the variety of blocks in the game, which makes Minecraft a better sandbox now than before when there were few blocks. I understand the complaints that there are so many items/blocks/structures/mobs that it's hard to keep track of all of them, but Mojang has organized the creative menu into categories to make it feel less daunting.
I honestly don't understand players who want Minecraft to still have just 1 type of stone and wood, anyone in their right mind knows that it is just logical a game about blocks and building with those blocks should add new ones over time
@@UYTx I disagree, it's more about perspective. Silver gave his, and it's not "objectively" wrong, just as much as your response isn't "objectively" right.
@@billdecompsa4705 The Sipover's perspective comes from creating something out of your limited resources. Building great monuments out of a small selection of blocks. At first glance it might be reasonable, until you realize that having more options of blocks doesn't mean your art is less valuable, it just means the skill ceiling for building is higher... Sipover is just wrong about having less blocks == more creativity. There are immensely amazing builds that are only possible in the updated versions of the games. Claiming the old block choices are better is like trying to find inspiration from purposely handicapping yourself. Like sure, go make a painting while blind folded, but lets be honest here, most people don't want to handicap themselves while building. People want the concrete blocks of any color. They want the cobblestone walls. They want the different types of doors, and the different colored beds. Sipover's points are weak, its all just appeals to nostalgia, nothing of actual substance, just endless bombardment of bu11shit that the viewer hopefully won't notice. Its also annoying how you people keep talking about "Its just his opinion!!!" Yes. Us calling his opinion donkey is also our "opinion" If anything the people who need to hear that reminder the most are the very people who keep repeating it, because the moment they hear something they disagree with even just slightly. "ERM JUST YOUR OPINION" (Then claims they disagree but never explains why) We love it when Sipover fans add literally nothing to the conversation for the 500th time.
If mojang listened only to the community, trust me, the game would be 10x worse. I mean just look at videos like this or jetstarfish's exploration video
Straight up. I once saw a video of top mob mods that should be officially added to Minecraft and it literally contained Sirenhead (I might be misremembering but also Cartoon Cat included) - independent byproducts of Trevor Henderson's creations, along with other stuff that already have an existing huge source material as a character. That's not even Minecraft anymore and didn't share its charm of both old and new. Even if Minecraft is "not like it was before", the Warden genuinely did surprise me and I like its addition to Minecraft because.. it actually felt like it belonged to Minecraft and fit in. How? Because the creators actually developed both old and new mobs, not by people immersed in different fandom nostalgia completely unrelated to Minecraft. My only problem though, is old and new animations clash with each other and it'd be nice for something in-between for a small update.... but then again, that's another thing people might argue about.
erm, actually, thats a knockoff of a quote made by roblox youtuber and player, flamingo. where he says the exact same thing except minecraft is replacedwith roblox 🤓☝
Your take on the "sense of adventure" part is spot on. It feels less wondrous because we aren't noobs anymore! Look up any video of someone playing for the first time, and they'll be just as enthralled as a people who started in old Minecraft. This is part of why I no longer pay as close attention to updates. I want to be a noob again. I didn't know Trial Chambers or Archeology Ruins existed until I saw them in game, and the sense of mystery was amazing.
He calls stuff useless because he doesn't do anything else other than beating the game. He's playing it like an MMO while others play it like an actual sandbox game.
@@Aprianexnot everyobe that plays minecraft builds or uses redstone. Thats one big negative for minecraft as it fails to satisfy all player types. Plus it is a 'sandbox' game so he can play how he wants
i got some young cousins who i showed mc to, somewhat recently. the panic and joy of their first creeper kill brought a tear to my eye ngl. to be back when a jungle temple was as scary as a woodland mansion in iron gear. sweet sweet nostalgia. also. mc is probably one of the most modded games out there. are you getting bored? download a modpack and your problems are fixed. or maybe. just maybe. let the game go if youve grown out of it. it happens, its part of life. i now remember why i never finished sipos video lol
this!! i’ve been playing minecraft since i was like, 5. ten years later, there’s still things i haven’t done yet! later, my little cousins and maybe my aunts will go “huh what’s a minecraft” and enjoy it too
"Just don't use a feature if you don't like it" is a weak argument. If you play multiplayer, that means you end up having a huge disadvantage often, and if you play singleplayer, you're always going to want to take advantage of overpowered features if they exist. Features like, say, honey and bees, are easy to avoid, but core game features like sprinting, enchanting, swimming, etc. are much harder to avoid. That's partly why people play older versions.
@@Nuclear-Owl ok and? again, nostalgia taking over your head. you literally have the choice to NOT do it but then proceed to whine about still doing it because "it gives you an advantage". just dont play mutiplayer on servers with new versions then??? if you hate change so much then go play old versions, no one's stopping you.
@@SmitePlayz1 theres a clear difference between nostalgia and overall simplicity, this video and gergs completely missed the fact that it was simplicity ,not nostalgia. and yes the comment above yours is correct, you cant dodge a whole part of the game (multiplayer) because it doesnt have what you like in it. the argument "just dont do that" doesnt help on an opinion piece(sips vid)
8:50 your points were really good. But if he want "nostalgic" Minecraft he could very easily install a texture pack, and I'm sure theres an old inventory mod. OR just play an old version which is literally an option on the menu
Not Sipover forgetting Notch decided to get the company off his hands after making an unpopular decision and not backing down from it or fixing the most problematic parts of it 💀
@atsizbalik but he pushed out an extremely restrictive EULA, killing monetization for all servers, and refused to change it to allow at least some forms of making money. The last EULA changes everyone was upset about? They have nothing on what he did. (Tbf they were mostly clarifications to the 2017 eula but most people ignore that)
@@leochangesnames I swear, these types of people who just spam “old Minecraft better, new Minecraft trash” really are blinded by nostalgia that they forgot they chased off their own idols and wonder why they won’t come back, along with ignoring any issues old Minecraft had.
Okay, so personally I'd like to disagree with both sides. A lot of people argue whether old Minecraft was better than modern Minecraft, the truth is that it was just different. The amount of changes to the core gameplay that were applied over the years of updates makes it a bit like comparing apples and oranges. I think such a comparison CAN be made within some healthy framework but it's just extremely difficult to do substantively as nostalgia heavily clouds the judgement and it's extremely difficult or impossible to distinguish whether you find a certain feature of the game better because of nostalgia, its actual quality, sheer preference or any combination of all of the above reasons. I think that a certain generation of people is heavily biased by nostalgia due to how profound the experience of playing Minecraft for the first time was to them, including me. The sheer amount of videos such as "Sweden slowed to perfection", "Why Minecraft music is so good and C418 is a genius", "It's summer night 2011 and you're playing Minecraft" didn't appeared outta nowhere. I remember that playing Minecraft for the first time (I know it was version 1.1) when I was 13 or 14 was truly something magical and no other game has ever made me feel that way. The vibe, atmosphere of Minecraft was hard to explain. It was eerie, mysterious, lonely and yeah, the music by C418 truly is perfection and it amplified that mood so much. I think that JSchlatt or some other RUclipsr said that for them, the core of playing Minecraft is not knowing how to play Minecraft. I remember being so fascinated by every cave, happy to build a simple shoebox wooden house, being lost while exploring the world, O think that it was an experience possible due to not exactly knowing what lurks in the darkness. Over the following months, when I was playing the game, getting familiar with its features, mechanics, gameplay, inner workings, that magical feeling slowly faded away. And I am truly sad that I won't be ever able to experience that again. It's still hard to verbalise precisely what it was about that damn cube pixel game, but I think that a lot of people felt the same way and it's the reason why people are so teary and nostalgic about the early versions of the game, versions that were their own starting point. And it's also important to pinpoint the influence of early Minecraft gameplays. Even tho I started in version 1.1, a lot of let's plays I watched as a kid were from beta or even alpha versions. That gave me some sort of second hand nostalgia for these earlier versions. And it's not very hard to see why specifically the version beta 1.7.3 is the go-to nostalgic version of old-school Minecraft for a lot of folks. It was pivotal for the development of the game. In beta 1.8 there was a massive shift in how Mojang started to handle updates, before it the updates were much smaller and more incremental. If Notched felt like adding trapdoors to the game, well, he would just add trapdoors in the update. Since beta 1.8 Mojang took a more holistic approach to the updates, usually introducing some big change instead of just freely tinkering with the game. Beta 1.8 was also probably the first version that is often heavily criticised as a very bad step that changed the development of the game for worse. I agree with that honestly... The terrain generation in earlier versions used to be amazing, full of super cool mountains and hills. Beta 1.8 made the generation super-boring, flat and just bleaker in my opinion, and I don't think I feel that way due to nostalgia. I honestly believe that the terrain got much, much worse then. Also, they introduced the hunger, sprint mechanics, critical hits, changed the lighting system, biomes, added mineshafts, villages and so on. It's one of if not THE biggest change between 2 consecutive updates that the game has ever experienced. That's why people who dislike this change, and there's a lot of them, tend towards beta 1.7.3 as it was the most developed version that was... well, just not beta 1.8. Also, beta 1.6 didn't have pistons so yeah. I am a person that is also heavily biased by nostalgia towards this old Minecraft, so it's very hard to analyse it objectively, if such a thing is even possible, but I do think there were characteristics of old Minecraft that were better at certain aspects. For example the look of old world generation was much cleaner. I feel like today's caves with 2722772 varieties of stone look very, very messy and just aesthetically displeasing, as if someone vomited onto the walls xD I heavily dislike that a lot of modern features appear as if they were taken from a bad 2012 mod. Like, the sniffer. What is that, it just looks like something outta RLCraft. I think that modern Minecraft over the years got a bit directionless, messy and chaotic in its additions. Beta 1.7.3 despite being much, MUCH simpler was actually, in my opinion, a much more COMPLETE and well-rounded game. It was simple but didn't really have any features that were bad or disputed. It was really clean, honestly. Also, it very well might be due to the nostalgia, but I feel like old Minecraft nailed that weird feeling and lonely, mysterious atmosphere much better. It truly felt lonely, empty, with not so many mobs, villages and pillagers. It was a game much more focused on that lonely experience, even of it wasn't fully intentional. Later updates either swayed away from that feeling or the players grew up, hard to say. So yeah, old Minecraft was just different in its feeling and despite nostalgia blurring the judgement, it was actually better at certain goals/aspects. I also disagree with you arguing like "you don't have to use/follow a certain mechanic". I don't think that's a completely valid argument on your side as it's not only important what the player chooses to do, but what the game designs him to do. Sure, you don't have to use certain features in any game, but it doesn't change these features being well or badly designed. It's not that simple. Let's say that you're playing a multiplayer game, such as TF2 or Overwatch and a certain class is extremely OP. Like, you could say "well, then just agree to not use it!" but it wouldn't be a valid argument to say that it doesn't affect the game, making it worse. It's hard to verbalise precisely what I mean but yeah. You don't have to use all the features of modern Minecraft but the game suggests you to use them, and that possibility alone can somewhat disrupt the idea of the gameplay. That was said a bit... poetically, sorry 🙏 Like, sure, you can play modern Minecraft in an old-school way, focusing on mining, crafting and building the world but it's just not the way the game itself encourages you to take. And that encouragement itself affects how you experience the game and how you decide to play it. I am not sure whether it's an accident that this specific nostalgia and missing that feeling of playing this eerie game for the first time, which I explained before, is usually focused on these older versions. You don't really hear about relatively younger people being that nostalgic about full release 1.8, or pre 1.14 or something... Which makes you wonder that maybe there was some substance to the claims that this old Minecraft was magical. In my opinion it's actually a very complex topic, but I hope that I made some interesting points and substantive objections to your video! Thanks :D
I genuinely hate all of those nostalfans, because, even though nostalgia isn't bad in my opinion, it's unhealthy to stay in the idea that "old minecraft was better" and hate the new updates
People don't like old Minecraft because they're nostalgic for it. Sipover was wrong about that. Dialko, a popular beta Minecraft player, made a very good video about this which explains it very well.
@@Kiyosandwicheater have you ever played a version before 1.9 for longer than a few hours? Have you ever put time into a version like that? Modern combat is better for PvE. I'll give you that. But for PvP, older combat is generally funner and more playful. Also, Minecraft isn't a combat game, so it makes no sense to categorise a massive chunk of Minecraft's history as bad simply because you like modern combat.
@@Nuclear-OwlPeople who usually dislike the newer updates and praises old minecraft are most of the time nostalgic about it. There’s inherently nothing wrong to like the older version and playing in that if you prefer, but you also can’t let nostalgia blind you and say the newer updates ruins the game as some people say.
the crazy thing is you dont even have to build! you can just find a hole in the side of a mountain and make it a bigger hole, and boom, new base. modern minecraft is peak minecraft
Before some of you comment about Gerg’s video, I made this video before him. But because of irl stuff I had to delay my video a lot. Also almost-if not-none of the points I mention are the same as Gerg’s.
Modern Minecraft isn’t worse, it’s just different. And thats what ppl hate about modern Minecraft. Minecraft changed its atmosphere with new music and new textures. Thats also why so many ppl lose their fun to Minecraft. I have the same problem. Since the new ore textures and new Minecraft music.(That isn’t bad but that doesn’t fit with the old atmosphere.), I can no longer enjoy the game anymore.I wish i could change Minecraft versions on Pocket and Bedrock but this is sadly not possible.

the idea that "i know everything and how to deal with it so it's not fun" is such a dumb point as it makes it seem like he's saying you couldn't do the same for old minecraft
You see a lot of that in the Pokemon fanbase too. "It'S tOo EaSy NoW!" I mean, yes, the games HAVE gotten noticeably easier over the years, but the main issue is that _you're a grown-ass adult who's been playing the games for literal decades and know how the core mechanics work._
if anything, it's probably even easier to do that for old Minecraft since there's less mobs. I can only imagine the fear in everyone's eyes as they first delved into Warden territory. we can still get that magic with the new hostile mobs as long as you don't look it up (unless you've died several times by now and absolutely need to know what to do to avoid dying, but only as a last resort)
@@tarekcat1 if it was overwhelming,play the old one.if you like more new stuff,play new one Some people want something simple Some people want challenging stuff That's my opinion
"mojang appeals more to the investors than the players" makes no sense the community asked for a cave update, we got a cave update the community complained about inventory space, we are getting bundles (maybe) the community didnt like something so little as the eye placement on a mob, and they changed it i could go on, mojang listens
Mojang listens, as long as microsoft allows it. Mojang also needs to parse through the worst and best takes on game with all them having vaeiyng volumes. A loud minorit hates the redstone change for no good reason for example. A quiet (as far as ive seen)majority wants ambience like fog to some biomes. A loud majority wants seasons but they never added it. Mojangs listens, they really do, no wonder why they hired THE GUY that made the aether mod. Just give them break.
at 5:20, I think that Sipover meant that old minecraft's block choices were VERY limited compared to modern versions. And a lot of the time, people will stress with the thousands of blocks to choose from, however, with old minecraft's limited block choices, players would feel more free and not become stressed due to the simplicity of the older versions.
There's 2 sides to that though. Having more stuff to work with in the modern versions can be overwhelming, but it can also make the player feel ever more free since they're not limited to certain blocks like in Beta. It's all down to how the player feels. And every player is different. What's nice, though, is that Mojang still allows us to play the older versions if we'd like. Most games don't do that!
It was very poorly worded and I feel like he got that from far better videos explaining why people enjoy old Minecraft because he obviously was just chasing a trend.
People like Sipover are the reason there is a toxic minecraft community that ruins everything and complains about not getting the mob or update they wanted.
What, what did he even do? sipover isn't the reason there is a toxic minecraft community that ruins everything and complains about not getting the mob or update they wanted, bro hasn't ever talked about the mob votes or updates in his videos, all this video is him thinking old minecraft was better because of nostalgia.
I completely agree that Sipover's video just seems like pointless ragebait. And even if all of his points _were_ correct (which they're not), you can literally play almost any past version of Minecraft at any time!
I've recently saw a bunch of videos shitting on these "old minecraft was better" and god i am so glad that people are starting to stop being blinded by nostalgia
Wdym just play on past versions? The main point is having fun with a community but the community is always on the latest version so you can't just switch to an old version an expect to have fun.
Modern gamers have their brains fried by "objectives" and "tutorials", they don't realize they have the free will to play video games however they want
These kinds of people like sipover are the reason why minecraft is getting harder for newbies and other people It's already hard enough and they keep complaining about it to mojang, mojang makes it harder for newbies or other people.
I always see a running theme with these 'minecraft is boring' videos and its the fact that whenever they say "minecraft isn't the same" then they proceed to show cherry wood as if cherry wood ruined minecraft, ITS FUCKING CHERRYWOOD.
It's not even RIP to a lot of Bedrock players. Android players and Chromebook players can download older APKs (like me), Windows users can install older versions, and honestly there's a chance you can do the same on Xboxs. Really it's just "rip to __ platform players though"
sipover is putting a bad name on the golden age community, call us weird for liking old minecraft (we are). but now sipover is making everyone think beta players are morons. please if you don't mind allow me to explain why people ACTUALLY like beta minecraft. 1. the graphics, a bit of a stupid take since shaders and texture packs exist but the graphics and textures have a really nice looking retro aesthetic to them. 2. the limited blocks, once again a dumb take but the limited 50 or so blocks really make you think hard about what to use, imo it makes builds a lot more rewarding when you only had 30 blocks to choose from. this still makes it a sandbox but def not a "true" sandbox like sipover claims 3. challenge, the game imo was pretty balanced back then, no shields, no totems, no villager trading, but the game wasn't so hard it was unplayable. 4. the terrain, the old terrain generation had a much more fairy tale feel to it, it really makes the world feel more alive in my personal experience at least. most people probably won't agree with me, but one of the great things about modern minecraft is how much freedom we have, most games don't let you access beta and alpha version in the games official launcher. also don't get the idea that i hate modern minecraft, hell its probably better than beta. but its frustrating to see people saying beta is flat out terrible without at least giving it a fair chance.
I love golden age minecrafts aesthetics and looks but I'm just too used to modern Minecraft that I can't go back and play anything past 1.16 lol, both classic and modern are peak in their own ways, we don't need RUclipsrs nostalgia baiting when they can do the same stuff they want in the modern versions or simply just change their version (most of these complainers are java players too)
almost every nostalgic game franchise suffers from this like ask the person who is advocating for the older versions and tell them to give reasoning that doesn’t have anything to do with nostalgia and watch them immediately shut up sometimes they have reasoning, but nostalgia in my opinion should not be used as a valid way to rank media it’s legit bias as a kid
Honestly, we don’t miss the old Minecraft, we miss being young, our first times playing. Whether you started in 2013 or 2023, the belief is the same. Charm wears off if you’ve played a game for long enough. The one exception is Fortnite (or maybe RuneScape too), the charm kinda killed itself, but that’s not relevant here.
In case of Fortnite, i think that the main reason that games charm has died - players. And even though, YES - EpicGames did implement some shitty updates, players still remained the main reason. Whenever i hear someone complaining about Fortnite they usually say: "It was simpler, nobody was sweating this much. Now, you just make one shot and enemy builds a skyscraper." People simply learned how to play the game. New strategies, metas, and simply the fact that kids spend much more time practicing in comptetetive games. People BM now much more, and are in general toxic - which ruins your impression about the game and then turns YOU into a sweat. Did i like how game was in first several seasons? Yeah. I loved it. I didn't have to sweat or worry that someone captures me in the box within 2 nanosexonds. But I also understand that it's not games fault.
i kind of want to make a video essay about this whole thing with "minecraft sucking now and it used to be so much better" but i dont think it would be any good lol
sipover also forgets that you can literally play the old versions. but yeah I think that maybe minecraft should've just kept the simplicity of 1.12 or 1.13. But besides that the only thing that I love of old minecraft, is the textures.
there are i game built texture packs to have the old textures for blocks and even stuff like hey bales even the old crying obsidian you can still play with old texture packs
@@UYTx the new villages and structures are pog dont get me wrong. but the older ones just had more originality, anyhow if i were mojang id just make old structures funnier and harder to loot and visit, i would not add too many structures. people could say it would become boring, answer? make em rarer to find!
Honestly these guys would enjoy minecraft a lot more if they didn’t study every aspect of a new update months before it drops. I know nearly nothing about the newest updates and starting a new survival world has been a blast figuring everything out
@@GearMaster-ku1xfI really do wonder the logic behind that. "Oh no, having more than six chunks to explore and build on is going to ruin this *sandbox* and *exploration* game!"
What is he talking about with "Old youtubers felt like they were personally talking to you" what does this even have to do with old minecraft??? New youtubers still produce content of the same or even better quality, he's just too boring to let himself care. He even put rekrap1 in the video who is one of the best modern mc youtubers from what I remember, proving he didn't even watch any of his videos and instead of just searched minecraft youtubers and put some random guy on there.
I’m an old Minecraft fan and Sipover kinda just sounds mad for the sake of being mad. A big reason I like going back is because I get overwhelmed by how much stuff is there. It just feels like there’s so much to do and I have no idea where to even start. So instead of making a video and getting overly upset about the direction current Minecraft is going, I just boot up a Beta 1.7.3 world or something a little later and have fun. Old Minecraft kinda just has a simplistic charm to it. If I want to change up my experience in old Minecraft, mods have me covered. But if I’m ever feeling up for playing some of the modern stuff in Minecraft, I just boot up a world and have fun. Yes, I can have fun on BOTH because Minecraft is just a fun game in general to me. It just boils down to whether I feel like wanting simplicity or complexity. Both of which are fun in millions of their own ways.
To add to this, any “problems” that can’t be avoided (as few as that may be) you can just mod it out FOR FREE if you don’t like it that much. Sadly that doesn’t apply to bedrock players
Lmao multiple content creators gathering to roasting this guy for just rambling bs is amazing I hate how his yapping has more chance to be seen by a Mojang employee than actually researched videos of people that know what they're talking about
As a modern player who heavily mods, I stay away from OG modpacks like its the bane of my existence. Swimming sucks, lightning sucks, everything sucks. Modern minecraft is so much better. Theres some instances where old minecrarft modpacks can be fun where its just really random and OG feelipng but other then that I am good bro
If modern Minecraft doesn't have a sense of adventure, please tell me how Mojang is supposed to fix that, they can't because the sense of adventure isn't tied to the newer versions, it's tied to the fact that you were playing it for the first time when you played old Minecraft.
6:05 huh?! How does “more biomes and mobs” break immersion? I think an entire world made of grass and cobblestone is more immersion breaking but that’s just meeee!
I have been playing Minecraft since 2011 and have not ONCE beaten the EnderDragon in survival and I’m still having the time of my life over a decade later
@@felobatirmoheb4884 I mostly played creative when I was younger, I played survival sometimes but I was pretty bad. When I got older I started playing way more survival so yeah, I learned pretty quickly but it sounds really stupid.
6:09 Music gave me nostalgia 😢. Minecraft Story Mode was so good P.S. I know in this vid he says that nostalgia is why sip believes old minecraft is beter but i still love minecraft story mode
While Beta isn’t my cup of tea and much prefer the modern version of Minecraft due to more stuff, I’ll admit the beta has it’s charm and pretty fun for a nostalgic trip and remembering old Minecraft rumors, creepy stuff, etc.
minecraft, less of a sandbox? with how they're adding so many cool things to commands, as mods get cooler, and as more blocks are added to build with, i dont see what about it makes it inhibit your creativity.
Fire vid UYT! I disagree with sipover heavily, he doesn’t get what Minecraft is about. Also I just watched a video from @Shadowmage2 that speaks on the true essence of Minecraft and why it feels different…idk I felt like he nailed it much like you! 😎
I've played Minecraft for over a decade, the best part playing this game was seeing all the cool features getting implemented into the game over time. Also, the creative menu with the single page was awful and sucked ass.
Bro, if we went back to old minecraft At first, it may be nostalgic but people will be bored while playing the older updates, not to mention somehwere in 2015-2016 that was first time Minecraft was going on a downfall
Have you ever played, say, beta 1.7.3? People don't actually play it for nostalgia. They play it because it's simple and everything feels unified and has a purpose, along with many other reasons I could list. It's not a matter of nostalgia or features. It's a matter of quality vs quantity of game mechanics. Too little vs too many features. That's why b1.7.3 is so popular: it has a good balance of features. It has biomes and variation, unlike alpha versions, but it doesn't have billions of unnecessary features like unnecessary stone types, too many structures and mobs, etc. I am someone who has played both modern Minecraft and Beta Minecraft for quite some time now, and I can't play modern for more than a few days in a row before getting bored (often less), while I can play beta for much longer. And the same goes for nearly everyone I know who has also tried both versions.
@@Nuclear-Owlthat’s your opinion. I tried playing on my old Xbox 360 world and all I could say was “wow this is incredibly boring I have no idea how I played so much on this.” New Minecraft’s “useless features” like different stones makes building so so much better. Almost every structure in my new world is made of a different type of block cuz it just looks good that way imo. Old Minecraft was objectively not as good but if u like it that’s fine. There are valid non-nostalgia based reasons to play it but sipover says exactly 0 of them
@@raptormaster1298 more blocks doesn't objectively make building better. some people prefer having more blocks for building, but other people prefer having one block for each task. less is more. i'm not sure you understand what 'objective' means, cuz something based mostly on preference and on what you value in the game can't be 'objectively' one way or another. 'objective' is fact, not opinion. and the fact that tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people prefer older versions to the latest version says that this is subjective, and the modern game isn't just objectively better. i never supported sipover, and i'm not against the modern game. i'm just for older versions. now please, i beg, stop replying to dead discussions from ages ago :)
the true problem with modern minecraft is the other players, so much toxicity and revolvment around pvp, most people wouldn't play the game if it wasn't for pvp which is very sad to me. another aspect is the content, nowadays minecraft content seems to be doing whatever it takes to grap the attention of the user and keep them ingaged every second due to this worlds small attention span, old youtube videos had that sence that you were in the moment with said youtuber, with an energetic greeting and less crazy editing, it just felt like... home.
I've noticed this too with modern MC. I've tried to play on a modern Minecraft server before and it very quickly turned into a battlefield. The first thing people did was rush to the forests and grab wood to make axes, and after that it was total bloodshed. A few months later, I played on a beta Minecraft SMP. Players were so much nicer than the ones on the modern server, and there was a really strong sense of community. We built a town together and hosted events together.
I kinda agree with sipovers villager point, like getting diamond armour for sticks is a little ridiculous But then again, you dont have to use them if you dont want to. I only use villages for enchantments, because i find mining fun, but not enchanting
@@UYTx I completely disagree. It doesn't matter if you can "just don't run away". If you're in danger, human psychology means you WILL run away, rather than death or glory. More options is not always more good. If they added a sword equal to a diamond sword crafted out of stone and sticks do you think "just don't use it if it's op" would work? Because you'd be wrong it does exist and it's a stone axe
"In old Minecraft, you were forced to think creatively to solve these types of problems and to play the game, making it a true sandbox." Yeah, because... The game was new. Because people hadn't yet learned the ways to beat the game as quickly as possible. Even if Minecraft stayed exactly the same as it was back then, people would STILL have done this. It's not a matter of the game, it's the players. And if you don't like those 'non-creative' solutions that people use nowadays, then just.... Don't! "It's the sense of unknown adventure that old versions have that today's just doesn't." ...What. Literally yes it does. I'm somebody who has been playing Minecraft casually since I was a kid, but because I was a kid, all I ever did was mess around in creative mode and build ugly mansions to the height limit. Each new world has its own sense of unknown adventure. I spent weeks and weeks mapping out the world in one of my games, trying to find a badlands to get the last type of wolf so I could have them all. I still get nervous and excited when I'm in a huge cave, and fighting mobs. I still struggle in the Nether and I still have fun, because I choose not to follow the 'rules' that people set for playing. Because in my eyes, you're not playing! Playing Minecraft isn't just about beating the final boss that the game has for you. It's about beating the final boss that you set for yourself, and then finding more and more of those bosses to beat too! I think RTGame's recent Minecraft playthrough is the perfect example of how modern Minecraft is just as much of an adventure as old Minecraft, if not more. He didn't stop at simply beating the ender dragon, he didn't just min max a video game, he truly experienced so much of what it offered, and he went his own way, and most importantly had FUN. This is a great video man, apologies for rambling and getting heated over Sipover's awful ragebait lol. I just needed to dump my thoughts somewhere.
The issue for me is that its not a survival game any more. It's a grinding game. You're never in any danger anymore. It's all up to you what you do. It's just like this boring sandbox now. Old Minecraft was scary and wierd and thats what made it good.
If you get to do whatever you want, then why not make it interesting for yourself! You’re personally making the game more boring for yourself for no reason

*I never played beta when it was released, but it's the main version I play now
No, he misses the old atmosphere of the game. I know this, because i started playing Minecraft in 2020, when i already missed my old childhood and the good old times(im still a child). But then this new caves and cliffs update came and i couldn’t enjoy the game anymore because of the new ore textures that changed the atmosphere of the game and the way I experienced Minecraft even though i was still excited for the game. I can also remember, that before the update came I already saw a video about the new ore textures and i was sad and annoyed and I hoped, that this video was just a prank but sadly this update was real and I couldn’t go back, because I played on bedrock. And the new Minecraft music just made it way worse. I just hope, that i get Java one day or that Mojang makes a launcher for pocket and bedrock edition and that i can enjoy Minecraft again:(

The reality is theres animals that exist IRL we have no purpose for, and there exists so many random environments we can experience. If anything it's the diversity of resources and things that exist without complex purpose in Minecraft that truly makes it immersive. If everything in the game existed purely to serve a purpose for the player, that would actually make in unimmersive
I have a counterpoint to one of your statements.
"There are animals IRL that serve no purpose" is a statement that is 99% incorrect, since even flies have some utility in nature. Every animal... well, almost every animal has a purpose on nature.

@@FunAngelo2005 It's actually the same side
Sipover complains about Minecraft not being a sandbox, but he then complains about the variety of blocks in the game, which makes Minecraft a better sandbox now than before when there were few blocks.
I understand the complaints that there are so many items/blocks/structures/mobs that it's hard to keep track of all of them, but Mojang has organized the creative menu into categories to make it feel less daunting.
Yeah sipover doesn’t really get it
There is definitely merit to the statement that limitation breed creativity and I personally prefer beta 1.7.3 but sipover is a trend chasing moron.
I honestly don't understand players who want Minecraft to still have just 1 type of stone and wood, anyone in their right mind knows that it is just logical a game about blocks and building with those blocks should add new ones over time
@@UYTx I disagree, it's more about perspective. Silver gave his, and it's not "objectively" wrong, just as much as your response isn't "objectively" right.
@@billdecompsa4705 The Sipover's perspective comes from creating something out of your limited resources. Building great monuments out of a small selection of blocks. At first glance it might be reasonable, until you realize that having more options of blocks doesn't mean your art is less valuable, it just means the skill ceiling for building is higher...
Sipover is just wrong about having less blocks == more creativity. There are immensely amazing builds that are only possible in the updated versions of the games. Claiming the old block choices are better is like trying to find inspiration from purposely handicapping yourself. Like sure, go make a painting while blind folded, but lets be honest here, most people don't want to handicap themselves while building. People want the concrete blocks of any color. They want the cobblestone walls. They want the different types of doors, and the different colored beds.
Sipover's points are weak, its all just appeals to nostalgia, nothing of actual substance, just endless bombardment of bu11shit that the viewer hopefully won't notice.
Its also annoying how you people keep talking about "Its just his opinion!!!" Yes. Us calling his opinion donkey is also our "opinion" If anything the people who need to hear that reminder the most are the very people who keep repeating it, because the moment they hear something they disagree with even just slightly. "ERM JUST YOUR OPINION" (Then claims they disagree but never explains why) We love it when Sipover fans add literally nothing to the conversation for the 500th time.
If mojang listened only to the community, trust me, the game would be 10x worse. I mean just look at videos like this or jetstarfish's exploration video
Straight up. I once saw a video of top mob mods that should be officially added to Minecraft and it literally contained Sirenhead (I might be misremembering but also Cartoon Cat included) - independent byproducts of Trevor Henderson's creations, along with other stuff that already have an existing huge source material as a character. That's not even Minecraft anymore and didn't share its charm of both old and new. Even if Minecraft is "not like it was before", the Warden genuinely did surprise me and I like its addition to Minecraft because.. it actually felt like it belonged to Minecraft and fit in. How? Because the creators actually developed both old and new mobs, not by people immersed in different fandom nostalgia completely unrelated to Minecraft. My only problem though, is old and new animations clash with each other and it'd be nice for something in-between for a small update.... but then again, that's another thing people might argue about.

yep.
"Just don't use a feature if you don't like it" is a weak argument. If you play multiplayer, that means you end up having a huge disadvantage often, and if you play singleplayer, you're always going to want to take advantage of overpowered features if they exist. Features like, say, honey and bees, are easy to avoid, but core game features like sprinting, enchanting, swimming, etc. are much harder to avoid. That's partly why people play older versions.
@@Nuclear-Owl ok and? again, nostalgia taking over your head. you literally have the choice to NOT do it but then proceed to whine about still doing it because "it gives you an advantage". just dont play mutiplayer on servers with new versions then??? if you hate change so much then go play old versions, no one's stopping you.

Okay, so personally I'd like to disagree with both sides. A lot of people argue whether old Minecraft was better than modern Minecraft, the truth is that it was just different. The amount of changes to the core gameplay that were applied over the years of updates makes it a bit like comparing apples and oranges.
I think such a comparison CAN be made within some healthy framework but it's just extremely difficult to do substantively as nostalgia heavily clouds the judgement and it's extremely difficult or impossible to distinguish whether you find a certain feature of the game better because of nostalgia, its actual quality, sheer preference or any combination of all of the above reasons.
I think that a certain generation of people is heavily biased by nostalgia due to how profound the experience of playing Minecraft for the first time was to them, including me. The sheer amount of videos such as "Sweden slowed to perfection", "Why Minecraft music is so good and C418 is a genius", "It's summer night 2011 and you're playing Minecraft" didn't appeared outta nowhere. I remember that playing Minecraft for the first time (I know it was version 1.1) when I was 13 or 14 was truly something magical and no other game has ever made me feel that way. The vibe, atmosphere of Minecraft was hard to explain. It was eerie, mysterious, lonely and yeah, the music by C418 truly is perfection and it amplified that mood so much. I think that JSchlatt or some other RUclipsr said that for them, the core of playing Minecraft is not knowing how to play Minecraft. I remember being so fascinated by every cave, happy to build a simple shoebox wooden house, being lost while exploring the world, O think that it was an experience possible due to not exactly knowing what lurks in the darkness. Over the following months, when I was playing the game, getting familiar with its features, mechanics, gameplay, inner workings, that magical feeling slowly faded away. And I am truly sad that I won't be ever able to experience that again. It's still hard to verbalise precisely what it was about that damn cube pixel game, but I think that a lot of people felt the same way and it's the reason why people are so teary and nostalgic about the early versions of the game, versions that were their own starting point.
And it's also important to pinpoint the influence of early Minecraft gameplays. Even tho I started in version 1.1, a lot of let's plays I watched as a kid were from beta or even alpha versions. That gave me some sort of second hand nostalgia for these earlier versions.
And it's not very hard to see why specifically the version beta 1.7.3 is the go-to nostalgic version of old-school Minecraft for a lot of folks. It was pivotal for the development of the game. In beta 1.8 there was a massive shift in how Mojang started to handle updates, before it the updates were much smaller and more incremental. If Notched felt like adding trapdoors to the game, well, he would just add trapdoors in the update. Since beta 1.8 Mojang took a more holistic approach to the updates, usually introducing some big change instead of just freely tinkering with the game. Beta 1.8 was also probably the first version that is often heavily criticised as a very bad step that changed the development of the game for worse. I agree with that honestly... The terrain generation in earlier versions used to be amazing, full of super cool mountains and hills. Beta 1.8 made the generation super-boring, flat and just bleaker in my opinion, and I don't think I feel that way due to nostalgia. I honestly believe that the terrain got much, much worse then. Also, they introduced the hunger, sprint mechanics, critical hits, changed the lighting system, biomes, added mineshafts, villages and so on. It's one of if not THE biggest change between 2 consecutive updates that the game has ever experienced. That's why people who dislike this change, and there's a lot of them, tend towards beta 1.7.3 as it was the most developed version that was... well, just not beta 1.8. Also, beta 1.6 didn't have pistons so yeah.
I am a person that is also heavily biased by nostalgia towards this old Minecraft, so it's very hard to analyse it objectively, if such a thing is even possible, but I do think there were characteristics of old Minecraft that were better at certain aspects. For example the look of old world generation was much cleaner. I feel like today's caves with 2722772 varieties of stone look very, very messy and just aesthetically displeasing, as if someone vomited onto the walls xD I heavily dislike that a lot of modern features appear as if they were taken from a bad 2012 mod. Like, the sniffer. What is that, it just looks like something outta RLCraft. I think that modern Minecraft over the years got a bit directionless, messy and chaotic in its additions.
Beta 1.7.3 despite being much, MUCH simpler was actually, in my opinion, a much more COMPLETE and well-rounded game. It was simple but didn't really have any features that were bad or disputed. It was really clean, honestly.
Also, it very well might be due to the nostalgia, but I feel like old Minecraft nailed that weird feeling and lonely, mysterious atmosphere much better. It truly felt lonely, empty, with not so many mobs, villages and pillagers. It was a game much more focused on that lonely experience, even of it wasn't fully intentional. Later updates either swayed away from that feeling or the players grew up, hard to say.
So yeah, old Minecraft was just different in its feeling and despite nostalgia blurring the judgement, it was actually better at certain goals/aspects.
I also disagree with you arguing like "you don't have to use/follow a certain mechanic". I don't think that's a completely valid argument on your side as it's not only important what the player chooses to do, but what the game designs him to do. Sure, you don't have to use certain features in any game, but it doesn't change these features being well or badly designed. It's not that simple. Let's say that you're playing a multiplayer game, such as TF2 or Overwatch and a certain class is extremely OP. Like, you could say "well, then just agree to not use it!" but it wouldn't be a valid argument to say that it doesn't affect the game, making it worse. It's hard to verbalise precisely what I mean but yeah. You don't have to use all the features of modern Minecraft but the game suggests you to use them, and that possibility alone can somewhat disrupt the idea of the gameplay. That was said a bit... poetically, sorry 🙏
Like, sure, you can play modern Minecraft in an old-school way, focusing on mining, crafting and building the world but it's just not the way the game itself encourages you to take. And that encouragement itself affects how you experience the game and how you decide to play it. I am not sure whether it's an accident that this specific nostalgia and missing that feeling of playing this eerie game for the first time, which I explained before, is usually focused on these older versions. You don't really hear about relatively younger people being that nostalgic about full release 1.8, or pre 1.14 or something... Which makes you wonder that maybe there was some substance to the claims that this old Minecraft was magical.
In my opinion it's actually a very complex topic, but I hope that I made some interesting points and substantive objections to your video! Thanks :D
I genuinely hate all of those nostalfans, because, even though nostalgia isn't bad in my opinion, it's unhealthy to stay in the idea that "old minecraft was better" and hate the new updates
Yeah
People don't like old Minecraft because they're nostalgic for it. Sipover was wrong about that. Dialko, a popular beta Minecraft player, made a very good video about this which explains it very well.
As a PVE enjoyer, any version before 1.9 sucks
@@Kiyosandwicheater have you ever played a version before 1.9 for longer than a few hours? Have you ever put time into a version like that? Modern combat is better for PvE. I'll give you that. But for PvP, older combat is generally funner and more playful. Also, Minecraft isn't a combat game, so it makes no sense to categorise a massive chunk of Minecraft's history as bad simply because you like modern combat.
@@Nuclear-OwlPeople who usually dislike the newer updates and praises old minecraft are most of the time nostalgic about it. There’s inherently nothing wrong to like the older version and playing in that if you prefer, but you also can’t let nostalgia blind you and say the newer updates ruins the game as some people say.

so true💯
Before some of you comment about Gerg’s video, I made this video before him. But because of irl stuff I had to delay my video a lot. Also almost-if not-none of the points I mention are the same as Gerg’s.
seems true enough
Modern Minecraft isn’t worse, it’s just different. And thats what ppl hate about modern Minecraft. Minecraft changed its atmosphere with new music and new textures. Thats also why so many ppl lose their fun to Minecraft. I have the same problem. Since the new ore textures and new Minecraft music.(That isn’t bad but that doesn’t fit with the old atmosphere.), I can no longer enjoy the game anymore.I wish i could change Minecraft versions on Pocket and Bedrock but this is sadly not possible.
@@latussu5it’s probably because of nostalgia and growing up to like different things.

the idea that "i know everything and how to deal with it so it's not fun" is such a dumb point as it makes it seem like he's saying you couldn't do the same for old minecraft
Yeah that’s very true. If you played beta Minecraft for 15 years then you’d be bored by now!
Yeah and he doesn't want to admit it is maybe his problem he can't play the game differently therefore cherry wood bad because something something
You see a lot of that in the Pokemon fanbase too. "It'S tOo EaSy NoW!"
I mean, yes, the games HAVE gotten noticeably easier over the years, but the main issue is that _you're a grown-ass adult who's been playing the games for literal decades and know how the core mechanics work._
if anything, it's probably even easier to do that for old Minecraft since there's less mobs.
I can only imagine the fear in everyone's eyes as they first delved into Warden territory. we can still get that magic with the new hostile mobs as long as you don't look it up (unless you've died several times by now and absolutely need to know what to do to avoid dying, but only as a last resort)

7:32 yeah, i wouldn't listen to my community either if i saw them constantly make these nostalgia bait videos.
"mojang appeals more to the investors than the players" makes no sense
the community asked for a cave update, we got a cave update
the community complained about inventory space, we are getting bundles (maybe)
the community didnt like something so little as the eye placement on a mob, and they changed it
i could go on, mojang listens
mojang listens, yes!
Mojang listens, as long as microsoft allows it.
Mojang also needs to parse through the worst and best takes on game with all them having vaeiyng volumes.
A loud minorit hates the redstone change for no good reason for example.
A quiet (as far as ive seen)majority wants ambience like fog to some biomes.
A loud majority wants seasons but they never added it.
Mojangs listens, they really do, no wonder why they hired THE GUY that made the aether mod. Just give them break.
at 5:20, I think that Sipover meant that old minecraft's block choices were VERY limited compared to modern versions. And a lot of the time, people will stress with the thousands of blocks to choose from, however, with old minecraft's limited block choices, players would feel more free and not become stressed due to the simplicity of the older versions.
Was horribly communicated tho.
@@Lilleh__ true
There's 2 sides to that though. Having more stuff to work with in the modern versions can be overwhelming, but it can also make the player feel ever more free since they're not limited to certain blocks like in Beta.
It's all down to how the player feels. And every player is different. What's nice, though, is that Mojang still allows us to play the older versions if we'd like. Most games don't do that!
@@DiamondDepthYT yeah, i agree
It was very poorly worded and I feel like he got that from far better videos explaining why people enjoy old Minecraft because he obviously was just chasing a trend.

It's not even RIP to a lot of Bedrock players. Android players and Chromebook players can download older APKs (like me), Windows users can install older versions, and honestly there's a chance you can do the same on Xboxs. Really it's just "rip to __ platform players though"
sipover is putting a bad name on the golden age community, call us weird for liking old minecraft (we are). but now sipover is making everyone think beta players are morons. please if you don't mind allow me to explain why people ACTUALLY like beta minecraft.
1. the graphics, a bit of a stupid take since shaders and texture packs exist but the graphics and textures have a really nice looking retro aesthetic to them.
2. the limited blocks, once again a dumb take but the limited 50 or so blocks really make you think hard about what to use, imo it makes builds a lot more rewarding when you only had 30 blocks to choose from. this still makes it a sandbox but def not a "true" sandbox like sipover claims
3. challenge, the game imo was pretty balanced back then, no shields, no totems, no villager trading, but the game wasn't so hard it was unplayable.
4. the terrain, the old terrain generation had a much more fairy tale feel to it, it really makes the world feel more alive in my personal experience at least.
most people probably won't agree with me, but one of the great things about modern minecraft is how much freedom we have, most games don't let you access beta and alpha version in the games official launcher. also don't get the idea that i hate modern minecraft, hell its probably better than beta. but its frustrating to see people saying beta is flat out terrible without at least giving it a fair chance.
I love golden age minecrafts aesthetics and looks but I'm just too used to modern Minecraft that I can't go back and play anything past 1.16 lol, both classic and modern are peak in their own ways, we don't need RUclipsrs nostalgia baiting when they can do the same stuff they want in the modern versions or simply just change their version (most of these complainers are java players too)
yea imo both old and new minecraft have their pros and cons, it's up to you what you wanna play especially since you can still play those old versions
True, the guy is just giving our community a bad look.
Honestly, i had a lot of good memories from 1.13-1.16 minecraft, truly a great era.
Beta graphics are ass
almost every nostalgic game franchise suffers from this like ask the person who is advocating for the older versions and tell them to give reasoning that doesn’t have anything to do with nostalgia and watch them immediately shut up sometimes they have reasoning, but nostalgia in my opinion should not be used as a valid way to rank media it’s legit bias as a kid

"You were forced to do X, thus it's a true sandbox" is such a contradictory statement. Bro wrote that, read it, recorded it, and uploaded it. Wow.
Honestly, we don’t miss the old Minecraft, we miss being young, our first times playing. Whether you started in 2013 or 2023, the belief is the same. Charm wears off if you’ve played a game for long enough. The one exception is Fortnite (or maybe RuneScape too), the charm kinda killed itself, but that’s not relevant here.
yeah i agree
In case of Fortnite, i think that the main reason that games charm has died - players. And even though, YES - EpicGames did implement some shitty updates, players still remained the main reason.
Whenever i hear someone complaining about Fortnite they usually say: "It was simpler, nobody was sweating this much. Now, you just make one shot and enemy builds a skyscraper."
People simply learned how to play the game. New strategies, metas, and simply the fact that kids spend much more time practicing in comptetetive games.
People BM now much more, and are in general toxic - which ruins your impression about the game and then turns YOU into a sweat.
Did i like how game was in first several seasons? Yeah. I loved it. I didn't have to sweat or worry that someone captures me in the box within 2 nanosexonds. But I also understand that it's not games fault.
i kind of want to make a video essay about this whole thing with "minecraft sucking now and it used to be so much better" but i dont think it would be any good lol
sipover also forgets that you can literally play the old versions. but yeah I think that maybe minecraft should've just kept the simplicity of 1.12 or 1.13. But besides that the only thing that I love of old minecraft, is the textures.

Sipover doesn't miss old minecraft, nor being young, he misses his views
I’m an old Minecraft fan and Sipover kinda just sounds mad for the sake of being mad. A big reason I like going back is because I get overwhelmed by how much stuff is there. It just feels like there’s so much to do and I have no idea where to even start. So instead of making a video and getting overly upset about the direction current Minecraft is going, I just boot up a Beta 1.7.3 world or something a little later and have fun. Old Minecraft kinda just has a simplistic charm to it. If I want to change up my experience in old Minecraft, mods have me covered. But if I’m ever feeling up for playing some of the modern stuff in Minecraft, I just boot up a world and have fun. Yes, I can have fun on BOTH because Minecraft is just a fun game in general to me. It just boils down to whether I feel like wanting simplicity or complexity. Both of which are fun in millions of their own ways.
To add to this, any “problems” that can’t be avoided (as few as that may be) you can just mod it out FOR FREE if you don’t like it that much. Sadly that doesn’t apply to bedrock players
Pokémon Genwunners called, they liked and subscribed to Sipover’s video on nostalgia and the old times being the best.

If modern Minecraft doesn't have a sense of adventure, please tell me how Mojang is supposed to fix that, they can't because the sense of adventure isn't tied to the newer versions, it's tied to the fact that you were playing it for the first time when you played old Minecraft.

At first, it may be nostalgic but people will be bored while playing the older updates, not to mention somehwere in 2015-2016 that was first time Minecraft was going on a downfall
Yeah that’s true
Have you ever played, say, beta 1.7.3? People don't actually play it for nostalgia. They play it because it's simple and everything feels unified and has a purpose, along with many other reasons I could list. It's not a matter of nostalgia or features. It's a matter of quality vs quantity of game mechanics. Too little vs too many features. That's why b1.7.3 is so popular: it has a good balance of features. It has biomes and variation, unlike alpha versions, but it doesn't have billions of unnecessary features like unnecessary stone types, too many structures and mobs, etc. I am someone who has played both modern Minecraft and Beta Minecraft for quite some time now, and I can't play modern for more than a few days in a row before getting bored (often less), while I can play beta for much longer. And the same goes for nearly everyone I know who has also tried both versions.
Some kids who never played older versions of minecraft back in Golden age can still play it tho on school computers or other
@@Nuclear-Owlthat’s your opinion. I tried playing on my old Xbox 360 world and all I could say was “wow this is incredibly boring I have no idea how I played so much on this.” New Minecraft’s “useless features” like different stones makes building so so much better. Almost every structure in my new world is made of a different type of block cuz it just looks good that way imo. Old Minecraft was objectively not as good but if u like it that’s fine. There are valid non-nostalgia based reasons to play it but sipover says exactly 0 of them
@@raptormaster1298 more blocks doesn't objectively make building better. some people prefer having more blocks for building, but other people prefer having one block for each task. less is more.
i'm not sure you understand what 'objective' means, cuz something based mostly on preference and on what you value in the game can't be 'objectively' one way or another. 'objective' is fact, not opinion. and the fact that tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people prefer older versions to the latest version says that this is subjective, and the modern game isn't just objectively better.
i never supported sipover, and i'm not against the modern game. i'm just for older versions.

Sipover's entire argument can be refuted with "don't do that then"
the true problem with modern minecraft is the other players, so much toxicity and revolvment around pvp, most people wouldn't play the game if it wasn't for pvp which is very sad to me. another aspect is the content, nowadays minecraft content seems to be doing whatever it takes to grap the attention of the user and keep them ingaged every second due to this worlds small attention span, old youtube videos had that sence that you were in the moment with said youtuber, with an energetic greeting and less crazy editing, it just felt like... home.
I've noticed this too with modern MC.
I've tried to play on a modern Minecraft server before and it very quickly turned into a battlefield. The first thing people did was rush to the forests and grab wood to make axes, and after that it was total bloodshed.
A few months later, I played on a beta Minecraft SMP. Players were so much nicer than the ones on the modern server, and there was a really strong sense of community. We built a town together and hosted events together.
in my opinion, both versions are equal.
There are lots of versions of Minecraft
I kinda agree with sipovers villager point, like getting diamond armour for sticks is a little ridiculous
But then again, you dont have to use them if you dont want to. I only use villages for enchantments, because i find mining fun, but not enchanting
Exactly bro
Plus, you have to remember that a player without extensive knowledge of the game won't know how to use villagers like that.

"In old Minecraft, you were forced to think creatively to solve these types of problems and to play the game, making it a true sandbox." Yeah, because... The game was new. Because people hadn't yet learned the ways to beat the game as quickly as possible. Even if Minecraft stayed exactly the same as it was back then, people would STILL have done this. It's not a matter of the game, it's the players. And if you don't like those 'non-creative' solutions that people use nowadays, then just.... Don't!
"It's the sense of unknown adventure that old versions have that today's just doesn't." ...What. Literally yes it does. I'm somebody who has been playing Minecraft casually since I was a kid, but because I was a kid, all I ever did was mess around in creative mode and build ugly mansions to the height limit. Each new world has its own sense of unknown adventure. I spent weeks and weeks mapping out the world in one of my games, trying to find a badlands to get the last type of wolf so I could have them all. I still get nervous and excited when I'm in a huge cave, and fighting mobs. I still struggle in the Nether and I still have fun, because I choose not to follow the 'rules' that people set for playing. Because in my eyes, you're not playing! Playing Minecraft isn't just about beating the final boss that the game has for you. It's about beating the final boss that you set for yourself, and then finding more and more of those bosses to beat too!
I think RTGame's recent Minecraft playthrough is the perfect example of how modern Minecraft is just as much of an adventure as old Minecraft, if not more. He didn't stop at simply beating the ender dragon, he didn't just min max a video game, he truly experienced so much of what it offered, and he went his own way, and most importantly had FUN.

The issue for me is that its not a survival game any more. It's a grinding game. You're never in any danger anymore. It's all up to you what you do. It's just like this boring sandbox now. Old Minecraft was scary and wierd and thats what made it good.
If you get to do whatever you want, then why not make it interesting for yourself! You’re personally making the game more boring for yourself for no reason
@@UYTxif the game is naturally boring and it’s up to the user to go out of their way to make it fun then the game is boring lol, this is a cope bigger than what bethesda fans pull
Don’t know what to tell ya, that’s what a sandbox game is lol
