Subscribe and I'll 1v1 Mojang in the next video.

one of the major problems is that, they keep adding filler content

one of the problems is that it doesnt feel like an indie game anymore. they dont make any crazy ideas anymore. it doesnt feel like they're making changes or real updates to the game and rather just content updates like most triple a games. it just feels corporate and it doesnt really feel special anymore. like maybe one new wood type a year? notch wouldve came up with so many ideas already. and it doesnt feel simple anymore. mobs that notch had came up with had few animations. the zombie only had walk and hit for example. it feels like minecraft is lacking variety. if notch was still working on the game, maybe we would've gotten more zombie variants, more creeper variants, stuff like that. and every update is themed. they just gotta tell themselves "hey this idea seems cool lets add it" and not "uh so the theme is gonna be about uh an ancient city what would fit the ancient city. we need to add another theme tho or else its gonna be boring" every year, waiting for a new announcement for a new update is just boring.

I just play modpacks, they have quests for hundreds of hours, thousands of new items, 100+ mobs, bosses, tech, more dimensions etc.

Is it me or does everyone have a phase to play minecraft for 2-3 weeks relligiously then quit

its kind of a shame, and whats even more sad is to see them trying to keep it super realistic, but it needs more fantasy, and needs to go deeper into the fantasy aspect , its cool how mods do so much but at the same time the base vanilla cant even hold up to mods

I wish they could take notes from people that make mods. People that make mods add more content then Microsoft itself

They need to stop trying to make it realistic and making features worse

People say "Minecraft is dying" but I genuinely don't see it... YES people are dissatisfied with the newer updates, YES some people don't enjoy playing it very much anymore... But NO, it's not dying. I feel like the _only_ reason people keep saying this is because everyone keeps saying it. I still play Minecraft pretty much daily. I still discuss Minecraft, talk about Minecraft, and see Minecraft videos every single day! There's thousands of people who still play the game frequently and talk about it online. Minecraft _isn't_ dead or dying, a large percentage of more casual fans don't give a crap about the game's online discourse, and _like_ the newer updates still, even if they aren't as impressive as people would like them to be. Hermitcraft is still going strong, and it consists of a lot of popular Minecraft KZfaqrs. There are Minecraft channels all over that still post frequently and get a lot of attention. Minecraft is the single most sold game in the world, you really think its that easy for it to die out? People have been saying crap like this for literal _years._

This is 100% like that video called "literally every minecraft is dying video" i think

A personal theory i have is that mojang might have taken the whole "We care about our employees mental health and having a diverse and accepting environment" thing too far. And what i mean by that is they spend most of their day chilling on beanbags talking with each other and playing around on the game and what not. Instead of actually putting work into the game. They may just not have a proper work ethic within the company.

Fireflies and frogs had NOTHING to do with Caves and Cliffs... I genuinely have no idea how you got that mixed up! They announced the Warden and Deep Dark and Archaeology for Caves and Cliffs, but the Fireflies and Frogs were NEVER involved with that update. They were part of the _Wild Update_ which was entirely separate aside from carrying over the Deep Dark stuff.

every year is the same and people keep playing it

I always liked Minecraft, been playing it for years despite it not feeling like it.. But these days... It only feels fun with a good friend/friend group. Because when im playing solo if no-one is on, it does feel boring QUICKLY

I feel like they did all that work to improve terrain generation just for it to be a whole bunch of empty space while exploring. It's hard to have fun while relying on a small chance to get interesting terrain generation.

even as someone who voted for the armadillo (I wanted another mob specified for warmer biomes) I can even say all the public polls I saw had the crab winning by at least 20-30%

I've went to the 2011 minecon and got my cape and when I look at Minecraft today it is really baffling how Microsoft can take Mojang and just take it hostage. Mojang has so many talented developers yet the only thing that is holding them back is Microsoft. Do not get me wrong it is cool what we've got nowadays with the updates and with the big generation change and cave update but the problem for me is just the game doesn't have that feel anymore. It feels.. CORPORATE. It feels as if Mojang is being sucked dry and its sad.

one of the main things that kept the game alive is modding however in minecrafts TOS to this day still prevents modders from making money despite plugin/client devs being allowed to profit. no idea why mojang hates modding despite helping keeping the game alive

This supposed "downfall" is in everyone's heads. What we consider to be great is entirely relative to ourselves and is constantly changing with time. Minecraft isn't getting worse, we're only realizing the issues it already had. That combined with the constant negativity on the internet subconsciously affects how we view the game. Recall why people loved Minecraft in 2019. The same issues we had with it before were still present, so what changed? It was the nostalgia. Then we kept playing. Now, the exact same thing that happened in 2016, before that, 2011, is happening again and now. Negativity, boredom, disappointment, hatred towards Mojang, all of it. It's a cycle. We let negativity get in the way of our enjoyment and it leads us to believe the game is getting worse. And if you're bored with the game, maybe play something else and come back to it a long while later. Minecraft requires your creativity, and creativity can only build up with time. If you want my honest opinion, Minecraft is indeed a very flawed game, down to its roots. I'm talking since its inception, it's been a flawed game. I don't need to get down to the details of that, but I will say, I believe Minecraft can and will get better. Minecraft has all the resources and time to become the best version of itself and all we need to do is stick with it. We might not agree with its changes, but it's counterproductive to complain about it. Not to say feedback isn't good, but feedback is very different from complaining. Besides, you are 100% free to play an older version of the game, download infinite mods, and essentially play the game however you choose. Nothing's stopping you. Minecraft is fun, Minecraft is infinite. Minecraft is infinite fun. A game that's fun. Isn't that where it all started?

I think the issue is threefold: 1) They're far too corporate and development is no longer a collaboration between the devs and the community like how it used to be 2) They set up updates on a yearly schedule. They should only update when they have something worthwhile to add. When there's a schedule to add things, you will inevitably end up with updates that just have random crap thrown in because they had to have SOMETHING 3) Devs are afraid to innovate. Most of the past several updates have only added things that did not fundamentally shift the way people play the game. New biomes, enchantments, plants, etc do not offer anything past a couple days worth of content. This is especially bad for people playing on old worlds where the new features won't be integrated into the early and mid game growth of a world.

16:36 why did bro start quoting trump 💀

The worst part of the latest mob vote in my opinion has to be how they literally implemented both of the other mobs features as gamerules for servers in the new snapshot. They could have put them in, yet they decided that destruction was better than creation.

The game will probably just stay dry for a few more years until it skyrockets back into being rlly popular again just like it did last time i doubt it'll truly die

Don't Mind Me, Just Vibing In Modded Minecraft Where I Can Have Whatever Update I Like

No way, a nine hour video essay on why minecraft is dying!

The video was great! Just one small correction I wanted to make: You say that "most" people didn't even want the mob vote to happen, citing the 500k signatures as evidence. Though it's true that this seems like a large number, Minecraft's player base is the largest in the world, consisting of *millions*. Despite the percentage being large, it was only a portion of Minecraft's player base that wanted the mob vote to be cancelled.

While all of this is happening, i heard the small community of beta players are thriving

to me, the thing that finally made me uninstall was how, rather than overhauling the weakest parts of the game like updates USED to do, modern updates seem dead set on adding dumb gimmick blocks and mobs. Like, what was even the point of adding bronze, or the armadillo, or even Netherite? The Nether Update and the Aquatic update both overhauled lacking biomes and made them so much more fun to explore.

From what I heard, Mojang devs really struggle with Microsoft being over their head. Every new feature needs a ton of work to get green lighted. Notch didn't have this problem, because iirc he was only working with a few people at most. Still, for the biggest game on the planet, it shouldn't have this mediocre updates.

15 mins+ Dundee video. Very poggers

Petition to add the Aether into vanilla Minecraft

While i do disagree in some parts here (the recent 1.21 update is very cool) i do agree they need to fix their reputation even if i do think they don't need to do that, and i think the whole "Minecraft isn't what it used to be" argument is kinda.. Dumb.. its just the nostalgia kicking in, Minecraft didn't change, YOU changed And i 100% disagree that Minecraft will NEVER die, its just too Popular for it to just die one day There is a reason why the game is the sold of all time

One of the most underrated youtubers! This video is very well edited and is very easy to follow. Nice job bro!

Mojang: Fireflies are poisonous to frogs, we can't add that to our game! Also Mojang: Quick, hide the cookies from the parrots...

I don't know how Mojang did it but they actually turned the armadillo debacle around imo. The wolf armor actually looks really effing good, it literally makes the wolf invincible until it breaks, and a large group of armored wolves can take down a warden. I would've loved to have a higher reach tho.

*Adds literally nothing in an update *People get mad "Hey guys here is a LGBT pack instead because we care about gay people um if you criticise us you are against gay people"

Well time to ignore this and just play minecraft for fun without caring about drama shit

As I stumbled upon this video criticizing Minecraft, I didn't anticipate the emotional rollercoaster it would put me through. You see, Minecraft isn't just a game; it's a world where I've poured countless hours, forged friendships, and explored my creativity. But as the video dissected its flaws, it felt like an attack on my sanctuary. Suddenly, doubts crept in, questioning the value of my time spent in this virtual realm. It's like unraveling a cherished memory, leaving me adrift in uncertainty. This critique wasn't just about a game; it shook the foundation of my identity, leaving me questioning who I am without Minecraft.

I am so tired of Minecraft video essays

Microsoft does the same thing to their games that a certain man did to kids on his island

okay but how are we gonna make it great again? what does that mean

the moment microsoft bought the game it didnt end well

This was very well edited, and everything was explained well. Good job!!

I just play the 1.6.1 version of minecraft since 1.20 isn't really minecrafting the same anymore.

Mojang 4 Days Later *Adds something the community has wanted for 10 years*

My main problem about minecraft is that every update they release into the game makes the game feel evermore lifeless. Before Notch sold the right of the game to microsoft the game felt alive and every update had its charms. Yes a lot of updates of Modern Minecraft were good but they don’t feel like the indie game used to. Simple, but with variety. And don’t forget the divided community because of 2 different versions of the game. That also majorly impacts the time it takes to craft new content for the game.

nah, you yappin'

I still side with Mojang on the monetization controversy as I simply despise microstransactions but then again minecraft got sold to MICROsoft which now pollutes the ENTIRE GAME with microtransactions. I also still think the combat update was fantastic and made the combat a lot more engaging.

I have to say that what they're doing for 1.21 seems quite interesting so far, I was really skeptical about it at first, but now they've made quite a few interesting changes and added some cool challenges and even a new weapon, let's hope they don't mess it up in the end.

The reason is because microsoft is breathing down mojang's neck. it's not easy to develop a game when every single decision has to be ran up the ladder of command. I think that a minecraft developer recently said something about it on twitter.

Mojang could have put the fireflies in a different biome than the frog and make them give the frog the lethal poison effect

Maybe if Mojang just listens to the community more effectively than this wouldn't be much of an issue.

he watched a big boss video iykyk

Ok na first 2 mins you the exact same as everyone else who makes video about this topic jesus man

Minecraft does not have updates because it has huge updates when it does. That does not mean people are not playing it they will quit to come back once there is more things to do.

literally just a summary.

Let me get this straight mojang… I can’t say tavern, but you can remove 1 letter from a racial slur and say it

Someone make a mod with all the minecraft mob vote mobs

Part of the problem is that new features don't blend very well with old ones. Take copper. What is copper good for? Well, it could have been incorporated into redstone circuitry. And technically it was with the lightningrod... but that was sort of it. An entire new ore, used for blocks, lightning rods, and spyglasses. It was underwhelming. Copper is so useful in the real world, but so useless in the game. It was just a disappointment of an ore. Also consider the sniffer mob. It's neat and interesting, but all it does is give you a couple flowers and look like a colorful Eore. It doesn't have any drops, it doesn't interact with any mobs, it barely interacts with the environment. It was lackluster. And of course, let's not forget the controversy over villager changes or - dare I even mention them - bundles. The villager stuff has improved with time, but I still firmly believe it will be viewed as incomplete so long as it doesn't also touch up the anvil and enchanting table systems. Because all it does is make it harder to enchant gear, which was already a bit of a nuisance if you wanted to use villagers for it, and a headache if you wanted to enchant.

I do hear your point but i do think it is important to mention that whether somebody finds the game fun is subjective. New features no matter if they get delayed or are not what we thought are still new features and can be used for anyone's enjoyment.

minecraft also has 166m monthly players it is not dying

I like all the Minecraft updates. They made Minecraft have more stuff. I find updates exciting, not bad.

minecraft got extremely boring after 2021 for me there is just nothing new to do its always the same things

I think Mojang should learn from mods. People say that the Better Than Adventure mod is what Minecraft should have been. I somewhat agree. But I really think it’s what Minecraft should have.

make minecraft great again and also sub ig guys haha

The new Wolf Variants: CALL AN AMBULANCE! CALL AN AMBULANCE! BUT NOT *FOR ME*.

Have you ever wondered why there is a lack of content despite there being a billion things to do in the game. Well, it’s because the amount of content is kind of getting overwhelming. Old Minecraft had little content. But that leaves the player to create their own fun. Did you hear that? The player creates their own fun. That’s the whole point of Minecraft. Creating your own fun. And I think Mojang is kind of forgetting that. But I also think the community is forgetting that as well. But should that mean that Mojang should just stop updating Minecraft. No, they still can. They just gotta learn from mods like the Better Than Adventure mod. Also also, Mojang should really start focusing on optimizing the game. Fixing old features that people hate. And I also think they should add a super hard mode that makes the game super hard. And I also think that there should be a survival update that focuses on survival. Because Minecraft is a survival game you know.

After 2 whole months He finally uploaded, I actually thought he was bout to hit us with a shooter_man moment

except it literally hit record concurrent numbers in the past month

I have to say, the newest Minecraft update 1.21 seems sorta promising. They kinda improved the dog armor and now it feels kinda useful, the new chamber seems promising.

2013 to 2015 was the golden age for Minecraft

im still kinda upset that the armadillo got so much shade over winning and i get it because the crab was the obvious better option and i also really liked the crab but the armadillo is my favourite animal don't give that little guy hate please. :(

this vid was wayyyyyyyy too good nice work on the vid, i really liked your editing :)

Like as a game so diverse and unique, if you talking vanilla can get worn sometimes but the modding scene is so active and easy to do. Servers easy to make

how the hell does this video only have 477 views??? great editing tho

This isn’t just Minecraft tbh this is AAA gaming

i played beta 1.7.3 for like 1 month and it has no content at all(i stopped playing because my world got deleted idk how, probably betacraft problem), then theres 1.20, i played for 1 week, and all i did was built a house, got maxed out armor out armor in like 1 day, and killed the ender dragon and quit, its not like the new updates are bad, they just make the game so easy that it makes it boring and unchallenging.

atp i mostly just play it heavily modded, including a horror mod or two

The armadillo is actually really nice.

then they add 9 new variants of wolf

bro is actully making this a trend

For the hundredth time: IF A SERVER NEEDS TO EXPLOIT ITS PLAYERS TO STAY UP THEY SHOULDNT STAY UP! Micro-transactions, pay-to-win mechanics, gambling, weaponising the human emotion of FOMO, especially when most of your paying customers are CHILDREN should have NEVER been allowed. The bootlickers who sided with the predatory monetisation models that servers were abusing were shooting themselves in the foot. If a company needs to hurt people to stay in operation, then what good is it staying in operation?

well, the Armadillo was more popular in non english speaking countries and the polls you showed didnt take that into account, sides, a lot of the communnity doesnt go on twitter

This basically sums it up. This is like a psa to fix Minecraft and I love it

This is why I usually prefer Terraria over Minecraft because terraria isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty and bomb the game with content.

I believe that, though Mojang is killing the game, the community is doing so as well. The most known groups aren't really clear on what they want, they don't give clear feedback often, sometimes they don't give any feedback at all, sure, updates are small, but there are tons of reasons for bigger updates to be just barely possible, yet the community doesn't want to hear it because they're just not willing to listen to things that disagree with their standing. Controversial updates do release quite often nowadays, but I also believe they aren't the only reason for the community's divide, the debate on which edition is the best, the community's diverse opinions, heck, even the mere size of it makes it impossible for everyone to be happy with anything, thus dividing it further. But the community's biggest issue, in my opinion, is its sheer ignorance towards development issues. Developing Minecraft isn't all about typing code and adding it to the game, there's tons of bureaucracy, there are 2 different editions of the game with 2 different codebases for 3 different types of devices (computers, mobile phones and controllers), there's a lot of planning behind development while including restrictions to make the game feel like at least a bit of its core essence… it's like digitally drawing, you don't just draw random lines on a screen, there's anatomy, art style, positions, clothing, sketching, line art, coloring, shading, highlights… Overall, it's pretty hard to keep such a game up, and not everyone has a concrete, unifying factor to keep the community together. I've seen people who want more content, I've seen people who want depthful content and I've even seen people who want to play a version of the game with less content, this community is too diverse to keep itself together. Think of it like Austria-Hungary, it had a ton of ethnic groups spread through its lands, those ethnic groups wanted their own things which couldn't be provided to not anger the other side, but as soon as Austria-Hungary became weak enough, everyone broke away and it collapsed. It couldn't keep itself together because it was too diverse, much like the Minecraft community right now. All I want is that the community stops being so childishly angry and that youtubers stop incentivating this kind of behavior, because it'll kill the game more than Mojang's decisions.

you deserve more views and subscribers this is too good

I was an ALL OUT minecraft guy for years. I remembered being so in with the game. Nowadays, I barely touch minecraft anymore. I'm more into geometry dash than minecraft. Is this just a me problem?

in last month your type of video was probably the most uploaded theme on all youtube

you forgot other controversial updates like beta 1.8; in which completely changed how the game worked (back then it was as bad as release 1.9 for some people, and still is till this day), release 1.3; in which merged singleplayer and multiplayer into a single version, which made worlds load 10 times more and brought up lighting issues that can still happen (tho rarely), and release 1.7 which made caves less likely to appear and more boring, weird not many talk about those

I have been playing minecraft for years by now but for the past 2-3 years I dont play vanilla minecraft and only play with mods.Though I wish minecraft was like it had been before. Am I alone?

I can relate to this title (i chew sugarfree gum) good video!

What do you mean not what it used to be? The game has always been what it used to be. Just a game

Amazing vid underrated asf and let’s Make Minecraft great again

minecraft literally just reached their peak player count and passed 1 trillion views on youtube the game is not dying lmao

Knowing game like minecraft need to keep updating to avoid falling give me even more respect to tf2.

The armadillo was not rigged, people just looked at twitter polls where you need to be over 13. The armadillo won most of the youtube polls which is where a majority of players can vote, such as ibxtoycats and many others (the crab won sometimes but armadillo holds majority), and keep in mind alot of kids wont vote in these polls, alot of kids who like wolf armour and saw the bedrock server notification. Most people are ignoring this and staying in their own bubble. The whole mob vote situation on the communities side was pathetic and embarissing, with all the war propaganda, all the hate, and all the escape goats over being salty. I hope mojang never does another mob vote. They know this will divide the playerbase, they know. The mob votes are some of the worst of minecraft.

We need an update that can allow for players to experience a pleasant grind. Like I love netherite and all, but it feels quite insignificant compared to when you change from iron armor to full diamond one. Maybe a progressive enchanting system, where you use mob drops to increase the chances of an enchantment? Also, the END dimension would be a perfect candidate to continue the grind, similar to how the NETHER update brought us netherite.

tech debt

can people just accept that Minecraft isn't a dead game? just because you don't enjoy it doesn't mean that millions of other people don't.
