The simple explination is Minecraft has lost touch with its own identity, not even Mojang know what minecrafts identity is anymore

One of the big problems is Mojang doesn’t seem to listen at all. It seems most corporations just don’t listen and seem to have all forgotten that if you get rid of your customers, you shouldn’t be surprised that nobody cares about your product anymore. It’s going to take the collapse of these giants for them to learn the hard way it seems.

Whats saddening is that the fans have made way better Minecraft updates than Microsoft, like the "Better than Adventure" mod, going along a path more like Notch would take to update the game

Right now I think moding is just saving the game right now. When a popular game or series is not releasing content or is only showing lack luster content the fanbase usually steps in and saves the show.

I still haven't forgiven them for yanking the fireflies and birch forest update.

Mojang's biggest problem is that they don't listen to their community. Remember how chaotic the last mob vote was? There was literal war propaganda to stop the event! People had many different opinions on how to handle things, but everyone agreed the current system sucked. What did Mojang pick out of the the hundreds of suggestions given? None. They did FREAKING NOTHING!

1.9 is not really the first update that was controversal, Beta 1.8 was the first update to be controversal due to player not liking the new world generation and the new hunger system

we are lucky to have the modding community, i feel lots of us would of left by now without it

The developers are likely not being "lazy". It's probably a management issue. A lot of devs come from the minecraft community or have been involved since it was small, I doubt they think stuff like chat reporting was actually a good use of time and money, Microsoft on the other hand loves to keep their squeaky clean kid friendly appearance at the expense of everything else.

The problem with dungeons and legends are that they are minecraft games where you can't mine or craft, only fight.

2:15 the reason microsoft was "focussed" on minecraft was because they migrated all their mobile/console versions to bedrock. They most likely had a similar amount of people working on the game, its just MUCH easier to only have to develop with 2 code bases instead of like 7.

1:15 minecraft really hasnt been the same since. Its this kind of new mentality that has made minecraft actively worse due to it. This sort of "we cant just do things the way that makes the most straightforward sense" we cant just have backpacks to deal with all the new blocks we have to have bundles. We cant just make flies we gotta make fireflys (and then we cant have those because frogs cant eat those????) we cant leave the copper bulb at 1 tick people had too much fun with it. Play the game mojang wants. No choice.

There was a similar video on this topic a couple months ago where a user commented that they personally knew a minecraft dev that currently works on the game, and they said the reason mojang makes so few changes is that microsoft is too scared of changing the game too much because they think if they do change it the players will leave. Personally I think this is a stupid idea because by not changing anything, people are going to leave the game anyway due to boredom and stagnation of content, the same way the game started dying around 2015/2016.

Recently, someone who knows Mojang devs has said that they are drowning in an overbearing bureaucracy that needs to approve of every little feature, and they are effectively the people deciding what goes into the game. Apparently Mojang/Microsoft higher ups are terrified of bloating the game or rocking the boat too much with new features, and also likely the ones pushing the environmental messaging. So they have the devs make very showcase-y features that's probably connected to some weird mob in an inoffensive one-off mechanic. Y'know in the game that's fundamentally about interconnected features and exploiting your environment. This honestly explains so much about Mojang's recent behavior, like how they just get incredibly up in arms about random stuff like fireflies, copper bulbs, and chat reporting, while giving very corporate excuses and reasoning. Also how the updates and MC Live are feeling more like marketing and sales pitches to anyone but the players. Its not the devs fault the game is going in this direction, they can and want to develop better updates(as evidenced by the april fools updates) they're just being held back right now. Maybe we can channel the revolutionary energy the community has right now and voice our discontent with the root problem with Minecraft's development.

4:08 If Mojang IS running out of ideas, they can look at modders work and ideas, but Mojang being Mojang they're afraid of taking risks and have stated they will no longer implement any type of modded creation into the vanilla game.

i used to hate the combat rework. then i discovered that it actually added more weapon diversity by making the axe a viable weapon. i then became an axe main. combat is so much more engaging now and i never want to go back to pre-1.9.

don't forget how they did our boy c418 dirty, i cant even play minecraft with music on anymore

This is why Minecraft Legacy Console edition is the best version imo, because it was discontinued and isn’t controlled by Microsoft. It felt like it had passion and soul put into it compared to the newer versions Also, this is kinda unrelated, but as a Minecraft player, I respect the hell out of Terraria. It has a lot of love and care put into it by the devs. They didn’t sell the game to a billion dollar company and because of that, it looks and feels so lively. I don’t really like the mobile version of it tho.

Lost my old minecraft account due to Microsoft's migration attempt. Hundreds of hours lost on different minecraft servers. We need Notch back.

Your quality was so good. i was genuinely surprised to see you had under 1k subscribers. With this quality, you will have a boom in subs soon. I see a good future for you and your channel

Your videos are very underrated even though they are edited with a lot of effort.

Another thing is that Minecraft is adding a lot of updates that don't add much that make the game more fun. Like on paper, sure you got a long list of new things, but what average player wants to find a warm ocean, find ruins in that ocean, have a small chance of getting an egg from sus sand, wait days for the egg to hatch and grow, and for what? Two new plants that don't do anything? Even the Ancient City, yeah it's cool, but who's going to go out of their way and risk fighting an OP boss that drops nothing for... what, a disk, a trim, and MAYBE some armor? There isn't even any motivation to kill the Warden. It's like you want a nice juicy steak for an update that will give players a reason to play, but all we're getting is cotton candy. It's fun for like five minutes, then you never have anything to do with it again.

Everyone expects Minecraft to die quick after some "doomsday 1984 update", but in reality it will be just slow death and only for us. More and more people will hop on negativity train, more and more decisions of whoever's in charge will be disliked and more people will just, stop playing. However, notice how minecraft more and more shifts into a "kids" game. Well slowly ofcourse, but with these live (pre-recorded) events having "yippey" moments to fill the runtime, these childish explanations of why they cut certain things instead of addresing potential optimization issues (it will be easier to tell kids that some fireflies are poisonous and ignore the parrots and cookies incident), whole entirity of legends... While grown up people will consider game dead, more kids will buy it and spend money in bedrock marketplace - and that's exactly microsoft's plan. This is the new source of income

The one thing that some players have feared is the discontinuing of Java version in the future. Now it seems very unlikely, but since lot of mods are free on Java. It all boils down to marketing.

I feel like Minecraft dungeons shouldn’t have Minecraft’s branding. It should have had a different name. The similarities in Minecraft dungeons and Minecraft are a couple weapons and mobs. Half of the locations in dungeons aren’t even close to being in the game. I played dungeons for a bit when it came out and it was fun, but after a certain point I felt like it was boring to play

I wish notch was back. Imagine how cool it would be to have huge updates like we used to and also more C418 music

A truly underrated channel, can't wait to see what more you make.

Vanilla minecraft might die, but remember the infinite possibillities with servers and especially modded, even if new version suck you can just play modded older versions which are better than the new vanilla versions

Editing and script is amazing! I need to take some lessons from you haha!

One of the biggest gripes from the community is that they only add one mob on the side every update, meanwhile modders are able to add all three mobs within hours of their announcement, people say that developing from scratch is much more difficult than modding, but I'm really not satisfied with that answer. 1.13, 1.16 and 1.18 were some of the biggest and best updates in minecraft history, caves and cliffs was essentially a combination of three updates, but even those individual updates were massive and fundamentally changed the game, I know mojang can do better because I've seen them do better

Great video! What shaders did you use in the minecraft in-game recordings?

imagine if mojang actually just didnt do sleepovers all day at work and worked on the game, its insane to me how it takes them years to even just implement a single mob which is done by modders time and time again in a fraction of the time. legit how is this possible? what the fuck are they doing in the office all day its mind boggling

This is a really good video! I like your style! Btw, your voice sounds kinda weird, do you just have a bad mic or do you have an accent?

When i was forced to migrate my account, it got hacked due to some sercurity exploits, hate it.

Where Legends went wrong is Microsoft is KNOWN for RTS, if they made a minecraft version of Age of Empires, it would have been hugely successful. Splitting up biomes so that each biome offers different resources and have differing levels if importance per faction (Villager, Illager, Pigman, Enderman?). Add in the crafting that makes minecraft minecraft, and there ya go. It would also have furthered the RTS genre as a whole most likely instead of just being a mobile faux-RTS port... All they had to do is stick to their strengths and use some logic to stitch the remaining gaps together and they would have had such a great game...

3:06 actually i downloaded the maps, skins etc from the internet or by simply downloading apps from the app or play store like mine maps and also the maps that youtubers use are linked in the description.

Everyone knew Minecraft Legends would fail.

Underrated I subbed❤

u just earned a sub. truly amazing editing

A few days ago, you had 500 subscribers. When I came back, it doubled!

Nice Video ! ❤ In the future you will be a famous youtuber (as soon) !!

It's becoming common practice to release broken titles, remove or promise but not deliver features. Then blame the user base for the shade given.

they need to just add the other mob vote mobs and listen to the community

Mojang/MS are basically aiming to make Minecraft's new audience consist of essentially toddlers. Environmentalism over gameplay, promoting Bedrock Edition and its paid DLC, player reporting, plasticky new textures, strict content regulations for public servers (e.g. has to be for kids), dumbing down new features for the sake of 'consistency', outrageously easy gameplay loop and political splashes are the many steps into this, and even if their old playerbase leaves, young children will still eat that slop right up without giving a damn. Unfortunate, but it's the reality we live in.

I don't think it helped that Microsoft refused to allow the original composer to retain the rights to his music and drove him off to other ventures. Minecraft just isn't the same without his music. He even had a whole new set of music ready to release which we may never hear because of this.

Minecraft Java won't die, because it has some pretty big advantages: - We have access to older versions - We have mods -> We have nearly infinite possible gameplays Imho Minecraft was pretty complete around 1.10 ~ 1.13. There were enough features for a decent vanilla gameplay, but also not too many so it was easy extensible with mods. Now I think there are just too many niche features, like copper, that even with tons of stuff you can make out of it, has no real use. Edit: Fix typo

I think the problem is how mojang keeps adding features (even good ones), but neglect fundamental flaws with the game, mobs, preformance, gui combat, progression system. Suggestions; Mobs: add more hostile, and frienly mobs that have a use, improving the ai overal and making mobs more consistent but difficult, fix mob spawns, especially frienly mobs. Preformance: make more options that can be opted out of that are graphically intensive, like animations and entities. Gui: make the guis easier on the eyes, add a sort button and maybe map Combat; make mending and shields less powerful, maybe add new weapons with different mechanics, and everything in the combat tests. And hostile mobs should still pose a threat even with good gear. The progression is imo the most broken, and i am not sure what to do about it. Here are some suggestions, but i genuinely believe this the hardest to fix; Villagers should trade more building blocks rather than op gear. There should be an alternative route to borring auto farms, maybe more easy to understand machines with their own systems that are not op broken, maybe these machines could be a late game thing. There should be more ores and good ores should be a lot rarer. A new tier between iron and diamond. New ores with new armors, same tier armor different materials allowing more customisation for the wearer. (And i feel like ores and geology in general is a huge missed opportunity for teaching.) Adding more dungeons underground. (They are working on that:D) Fixing treespawns to make worlds more explorable, and make biomes more gradual and natural. Minecraft has what i like to call an ecosystem of how items and crafting interact, and i think a lot of things could be more intuitive. Difficulty in general is all over the place. It's easy to get good gear, most mobs are easy, but then the warden and hoglins. If you read all of this rambling i am thankful! Please respond if you think likewise or otherwise!

Hey, great video! I hope microsoft/minecraft will get their shit together when and if Hytale releases, if it's actually any good

Also, if you want to know why Minecraft failed, compare Minecraft to Terraria as both are similar games, one is 2D and one is 3D, but otherwise they both started with a very similar spirit. Upon launch, both games were VERY bare-bones compared to what they are today. But, if you look at what Terraria chose to add with their updates, and you look at what Minecraft added with its updates, the difference is night&day. Terraria packed in MOAR CONTENT with each major update. HUGE swaths of MOAR CONTENT. More bosses, more equipment, more biomes, more NPCs, MOAR MOAR MOAR. Minecraft? They went with "MOAR CRITTERS!" "MOAR MOBS!" only these mobs..... offer little-to-no impact on the game. Like the Armadillo. It drops nothing when killed, it doesn't do anything but wander around in the world, like a lot of these critters. Chickens lay eggs, sheep have wool, cows give milk, leather and meat, but Armadillos? Nothing. Nada. They add more fluff, and rare spawns that you may or may not ever see in a playthrough. Meanwhile, the world of minecraft is 99% empty terrain with trees/mushrooms, hills, and very little else. If you do find a structure, a lot of times its loot is very "meh". Oo, a few iron bars, some string, maybe a few pieces of food and an armor trim mold. Just yesterday I found a woodland mansion and I cleared it out and you wanna know what I got? Some gold bars, a bunch of string, a couple armor trims, several food items, some seeds, and 1 enchanting book of something I forget what, it wasn't very good I remember that much. And.... that was it. The most valuable thing IN that mansion, were the bookshelves that I could mine for lots of free books. Meanwhile, when a Terraria update lands, it might take quite awhile for that update to come out, but hot dang, did you see Journey's End? Or the update that's coming sometime in '24, when that monster lands, it's going to add So. Much. New. Stuff. to the game. This is why Minecraft is failing. Also, Terraria has never had a paid DLC, nor tried to sell in-game items for real life money, ever. They sell merch, but none of that has anything to do with your in-game experience. And they don't try to convince you to come over to their _non-moddable_ branch. In fact, Terraria did the opposite, they supported TML and greenlit it to be offered on Steam _for free_ to anybody who owns Terraria.

what editing software do you use?

If Hypixel releases Hytale that Minecraft would have a competetor and they would need to add more into the game in order to keep people in the game.

Very cool vid!! Enjoyed thoroughly!

Very good video I have no idea how you don’t have 1K subscribers

That intro with the screen on the wall was dope

More blocks, more biomes, more bosses, more structures, more mobs, more dimensions. They have plenty they can do. Hopefully they will

Awesome video i have just subscribe to your channel ❤

remember those gold days when we first played minecraft survival and bedwars we used to watch legends playing them on youtube

Great video!

Either they go through submitted mods from the community and implement them into the game alongside the original maker(s), or they should provide the game's API for the community to do as they want without having to rely on multiple community made APIs that cannot easily be used together.

wait did you say microsoft botted the vote? also i have been really dissapointed lately with the stuff we are getting like i get a lot of people wanted autocrafters but to me it doesnt feel right for it to be added in vanilla minecraft

Are you polish? Do youknow project craft?

Easy homemade chicken ramen, with a flavorful broth, roasted chicken, fresh veggies, lots of noodles, and a soft cooked egg. Inspired by traditional Japanese ramen, but on the table in under an hour.

WHAT PACK ARE YOU USING FOR YOUR UI

It's not that they're running out of ideas. They got plenty. The problem is the bureaucracy in Mincrosoft knows they've got lightning in a bottle and force the Mojang devs to jump and dive through metric tons of red tape, permissions and paperwork in order to approve new features to the game.

marketplace on bedrock is not required to get maps and mods and things, you can still just download them like java

they should make an update that just contains past features that were mentioned but not added

I think that mob votes could be done better, because currently it is so easy for bots to vote mobs e.g twitter/X. Although they are a good idea for the community and whatnot. Instead of having them through Twitter, maybe they could have them on the minecraft website, and for anyone that owns minecraft already can vote for what they want for the game. This would probably reduce bots going onto twitter and voting for a specific mob, along with people voting for a mob for a game they don't have just because a content creator said so (like with Dream convincing people to vote for the glow squid). For short: in my opinion mob votes should be done through the minecraft website and not a third party, and people who play the game should decide what they want added to the game.

As much as I wanna just be like "Microsoft is ruining Minecraft" I just can't. If Take-Two and R* taught me anything its that the parent company and the devs themselves are equally responsible for a game's downfall.

after microsoft bough the game the game just improved, its not killling it. The sad part is that they feel afraid to make it more of a survival game ... No new mechanics no cold no heat etc

I remember pocket edition used to run on things like the ipod touch 4 now it barely runs on current day budget devices (doesn't help the quality of budget devices has gone down especially in hardware)

i like your cinema animation

dont let this tresure die (i spelled tresure wrong)

they seem confused as to what to do anymore. theyve said over and over again they dont know what awaits in the future, even years prior. i think at this point theyre shooting blindly until something lands again.

Guys, ps3 minecraft is on 1.9.-1 cause it got shulkers and elytras but no shields.

I loved minecraft earth tho. I think it should come back maybe as a VR/AR thing.

As a former spore community member back in the day, the deja Vu I get from all this is real. Those remain in spore know well that greed without restraint is like a bird without wings. EA still neglects thar maxis game after way over a decade, yet the community there is shockingly resilient. This is due to their shared history and near infinite possibilities once you figure out how not to create what the spore community refer to as "Sporn" I can easily see minecraft probably undergo a similar situation, should things sour too much. I honestly don't think the community, for the most part, would survive a situation like that. I hate to be blunt, but the community as a whole simply does not have the resilience and matutity to carry on like the Spore community had done, despite that games' continued neglect. It saddens me personally that history is clearly about to repeat itself, with no way to prevent the inevitable from taking effect. It saddens me deeply to see it going down a similar route to spore, but if there is a will, here is a way to endure even the tough times.

I can’t download shaders, they won’t work. Help! (I’m using curseforge)

I thought everyone stuck with pre 1.8 versions because gregtech is still on 1.7.10

If they made another end update like they did with the nether..

Make 1.22 an end update please, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE MOJANG

When is Minecraft 2 coming out?

Ya I see your point but there still is some light in the tunnel Mojang has been listening to the community more lately

7:30 why is your premiere in russian

Also villages and villagers got redesigned in 1.14 when they were perfect the way they were!

Minetest Minetest Minetest!! If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a free and open source project that can replace Minecraft. It is far easier to mod, and runs more smoothly. It’s impossible for anyone to shut it down or destroy it. It’s built by the community for the community.

I think that non of all devs of minecraft don't know what it is. Only Notch knows

I dont even know what 1.20 added, like archeolegy and baboo planks thats it??!!

Minecraft is suffering from a lack of competition

Selling map packs, with skins and textures were a Xbox thing, they just kept the trend, you couldnt make skins back then, so you had to use either the free ones, or buy skin packs

Honestly I feel the problem with minecraft is there seems to be no end goal in terms of the updates. The game already feels finished. There isn’t a need for updates anymore in my opinion. Honestly if they did a final update and revamped the end again I’d be fine with that.

I heard about that before and about maybe Mojang with Microsoft want to make the Minecraft Java slowly very similar to Minecraft Bedrock and merge them into Minecraft Bedrock only. I don't know is that true, or maybe not. But the Minecraft Java won't fully disappear. It won't, because we can play with the earlier versions too. We can choose without mods, or with mods. For example i play with Minecraft Java 1.19.2 and with some good mods for it.

good video men!

3:19 the shareholders want more money

It would be nice if mohjang just did one last update and it being a modding api and removing some of the monitoring shit ie chat reporting i mean let the modding community have another boom like back in 1.7.10

Some inaccuracies here, the spin off games shouldn’t effect their main game, as none of them are made by Mojang. Also, the mister epic video was new with a lack of information, we acquired more info and the mob vote wasn’t rigged according to a tweet made by Mojang. From general consensus it’s believed that Microsoft don’t force too much of a hand into the games and let mojang do their thing. If I made any mistakes please correct me with a reply.

it just be like that sadly

I would like to defend the Minecraft Earth, cuz this is actually a Minecraft... You can explore and build, play with friends and it was free to play. I am not sure, why you should end support for it, because I see Pokemon Go rise again. Minecraft Earth still could be played at home while corona and after the lockdown end gain popularity back. I should agree, it was raw, but I would like to see the parity with Bedrock Edition, so you could load AR part of your world and explore it with your friends (Building there was not really comfortable + this game would make me to buy and use phone version of Minecraft, if some parity or features added ). I am not a big fan of Bedrock versions, cuz I have Java, but This feature may change my mind.

The problems even stem to the way they design their games. Back in the day they used to add features they just thought were cool. Now when they add features its so carefully currated to not mess with the base game that bu the time the features are released, its already boring. Which is why a lot of the mobs of the mob votes are so boring and do literally nothing. Like the sniffer or the goat.

Somebody before me mentioned the cause being the corporate world and I fully agree with it. I am a developer with 6+ year working experience and at the moment I am looking for ways to leave this corrupt cringy environment in order to do something I enjoy with passion for less money. EVERYTHING corporation cares about is just money. The mindset is not "let implement this idea and wait for the money" which still works, it is "statistically this and that has the less chance to harm us financially + random corp. will pay if we do that also". As a developer you really have no influence power. When you want what the company wants then they will say that you have a good influence, but you do not have, it is just a joke. Another problem is that nowadays in a company being lazy is the new being smart. There is no more passion and influence anyway, only the money aspect which you as a developer do not own a fraction of that e.g. but you get the same salary regardless if it was 10 or 30 tasks you did this month. You might get a +7% annual appraisal, slightly more comparing to the weaker ones who get +5% if you die for the company, it does not worth the effort, it is not motivating. Even if you handle these perfectly, there are lot of other annoying corporate cringes to make your day harder and worst. Working for corporation is about making money for living, if you want to do something, to realise an idea your only option is to do it outside of the corpo world or build your own.

Is Notch still alive? What if anyone got his opinion on the current status of his game?
