people complained about the plains biome being too flat? that's literally what it is, it's a grassy plain, basically a minecraft version of the Steppe, it's supposed to be flat and relatively featureless

"Downgrade" feels like a strong word for most of these..

Both brick textures should be included. The one brighter for "residential" use and the darker one would still be netter for "industrual" builds

11:15 Isn’t the hat on the new librarian supposed to be a book with a bookmark hanging down

If you name a villager Dr. trayaurus, it should get the old librarian texture

4:39 that horse in the bottom right isn’t doing so good

the farlands looked so cool... sad that it is gone now

7:36 Diamonds are still useful to this day, mainly because you can trade them to villagers for emeralds and also because you can duplicate armour trims

I disagree. The old textures of the bricks were even worse. Bricks are not used often now, but more often than before. (although almost everyone used to play with texture packs, so that older players could use bricks in their buildings, I meant that bricks were rarely used by vanilla texture users)

diamonds are quite literally more useful now than they ever have been, and yes I know I fell for the engagement bait

saying horses are useless because of elytra is like saying iron is useless because of diamond

In Bedrock Edition there's actually a skinpack that features versions of the Biomes and Settlers skins for the Farlands that are all misshaped and whatnot. So the Farlands haven't been left behind, just that it's not skins inba Biomes and Settlers skin pack for Bedrock Editon.

8:58 this guy thinking color blindness means you see in black and white is so funny

most of these are so minor or just flat out opinions framed as fact

Okay... the new brick textures are way better. Each individual brick is a bit rounded, which along with the more realistic saturation goes a long way

I REALLY wish they kept the farlands, they’re such an interesting glitch. The idea of the world literally beginning to rot away as it can’t handle itself is so fascinating.

Yeah... a lot of this is boiling down to nostalgia lol. There are some good points, like the ones that actually affect the gameplay or are just nice quality of life stuff, but programmer art is still there, and there's resource packs like Golden Days that revert things back even further. You can just use resource packs to fix half of these problems.

Ngl, I like the newer brick better. As a person who likes to build it's important to think about Contrast to make a building come together. The old brick stands out too much perhaps compared to the dulled down newer version.

I think Wool blocks should be dye-able like Leather Armor, with millions of different combinations for every color possible

Sorry but numerical IDs were a terrible way to store them. Using identifiers in its place allows modders to not worry about compatibility issues and also means your worlds can be safely converted between versions without worrying about your buildcraft pipes turning into sand or whatever. Maybe you can't place still lava or portals anymore, maybe try using worldedit or something idk. The flattening was an overall good thing from an _actually technical perspective_

The made the horse simpler to match the aesthetic of the other mobs, since the horse originally had a lot more 'cubes' which could make the game lag as well

I personally think diamonds now have a wider range of uses. Great thought tho.

Another downgrade was you can’t tame bunnies anymore! They were such cute pets!

18:55 Why did they remove that feature? It was always so cute seeing that little Studio Ghibli reference with the Iron Golems.

The old brick look too cartoonish

I personally like the "sad" brick we have now. Makes it easier to use it in builds.

19:00 Iron Golems still give out flowers to villagers.

I think most of us will disagree with you.

As someone that is color blind, I have to say. Iron and Copper piss me off.

wasnt sword blocking just a visual effect? i dont recall that ever actually reducing damage or anything

There's no way you think the old plank and brick textures are better.

I really want the customize settings back! It’d be really cool and useful!

Most of these are just pure nostalgia or "I wish I could exploit the system again." Neither are good for everyone.

I like the darker brick texture more. The older texture was too bright in my opinion to build good looking buildings.

These are all just nostalgia

I much prefer the new brick texture icl

The old nether texture wasn’t good but I don’t think the new one is much better. It just isn’t as scary.

Mojang shouldn't have sold MC to Microsoft in first place. Huge mistake.

there is no way you genuinely think the og brick texture was better

i will die on this hill the new textures are FARRR better than the old ones i started playing in 1.8

"You don't miss the old minecraft, you miss your happy memories instead" Like Roblox ofc, debates would do here but in the last I was right and Flamingo was right or rather "We don't miss the old ones, but we miss the old community"

Definitely picking the newer bricks over the old one. Just because older textures have more saturation doesn't make it more visually appealing. Ask any builder.

New combat is just better. Stone axe deals more damage, because this damage applies only to one target and attack cooldown is longer

Again, the elytra comes too late for me, and I more often would use a horse.

Fun fact: In Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, Steve's Classic Mode route is named "Journey to the Farlands". Mr. Sakurai cares more about Minecraft's roots than even Mojang at this point, and that's crazy.

"downgrades" lol

There should be a feature where you can clean the brick block it make it less depressing.

22:58 That texture was/is apart of the particle texture sheet meaning it was never intended to be placed on the face of the Villager but instead apear above them when hit instead of the lightning clouds most likely.

Skip is the kind of KZfaqr to have fans that comment "I liked my own comment 🗿"

I think "magic water" that works in the Nether would be an amazing late game thing.

1:07 on the combat update, i have to disagree with the opinion presented here. the fact the axe deals more damage than the sword doesn't mean the sword was nerfed, because the axe is also far slower than the sword. these are two different weapons built for two different play styles, and they compliment each other when used together. i have both on my hot bar, and will use the axe for smaller groups and single enemies, and the sword for crowd control or if i have to bob and weave. i do also wish they added blocking back as a feature, but the improvements they made far out way that one negative for me. i think the people stuck to their mouses still spam clicking to attack everything like a machine gun are wrong.

I disagree with like, more than half of these, HOW IS THE OLD BRICK TEXTURE BETTER???

number one: microsoft buying the game

HARD disagree on the Brick texture. The old one is an absolute eyesore.

I used to try travel to the farlands everytime... i never got there😂

1:18 Yeah this is definitely nostalgia blind

Nostalgia must be hitting hard on everybody recently I keep getting reccommendations of "hey remember this old feature" and "playing minecraft but its ??? version" and i cant stop wacthing em

The reason numerical ID's were removed was because of a glitch that allowed you to transform any block into any other block (in game) by using certain redstone contraptions that affect the ID of the block this allowed for infinite diamonds and other blocks.

18:58 YES THEY DO STILL OFFER FLOWERS TO VILLAGERS

1:02 i mean by that logic minecraft should have never had any updates because some people still play classic

I wish they didn't remove the horse's jaw.

#55 might be by far the biggest downgrade. To this day I can't understand why custom world generation was removed. We had the ability to craft the perfect level for our personal experience, which is the essence of a sandbox game. But they had to literally remove the "level editor" tool, this is nonsensical. I recall their given reason was people not using it enough. What a stupid excuse.

This is why I use old textures texture packs

You missed the biggest Minecraft downgrade of all: The introduction of player reporting.

The old villages and villagers should've been kept in as a rare version of the villagers and villages

18:46 Yes you can, but they're just NOT THOSE; roses are two blocks tall like peonies and lilacs.

Bro is just feeling nostalgic

I'm glad fish farms aren't as easy to make now. I don't think getting loot of that calibre should be as easy as it was before. I like it better when farms take effort to make

Downgrade: You used to be able to breed chickens with nether wart.

On point 4, the optimization issue has been a thing since the REALLY old update where they added the lan features

People say diamonds are useless because they added netherite, but no ones stopping you from just not using netherite or not buying diamond armour from villagers. Minecraft is a sandbox game after all

I actually really miss the linear caves rather than the massive open spaces

6:24 is no one gonna talk abt the 973 pieces of glass in skips inventory?

For every pushup this like gets I will comment

8:59 why did you show a black and white filter? ...that's not how color blindness works bro

1:05 i think we should at least appreciate that the farlands was in Minecraft storymode

Iron golems: "If i cant have a rose. No one can"

THANKS FOR TELLING ME HOW GOOD DIAMONDS USED TO LOOK, IM NOT ANNOYED OR ANYTHING, *NOT AT ALL*

8:59 that grayscale was a great point against the exact thing you're saying

20:03 Jay and Failboat jumpscare

Who misses the white coat villager😔

My favourite version of minecraft is 1.13 because thats when my ocean and aquatic adventure began. Seriously, i would just build a big redstone boat and call myself a pirate

i'm an old folk and imo pretty much every single new texture is better than it's older counterpart

I actually miss old Neather wastes. I wish they’d bring it back for a biome. Just wastes. Spawns a ton of ghasts.

when it comes to netherwart everyone always says "save them for your potions" .... am I the only one who uses 99% of their netherwart for red netherbrick?

2:45 yeah bro i bet it lags sooo much on your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

I miss void fog so much

7:31 Armor trims and Netherite upgrade: am I a joke to you?

Having a ton of entities in one spot is terrible for performance lol

2:45 bro has a 13900k with a 3060 bro what

id say diamonds are even more useful now because you need them to replicate the smithing templates and netherite templates, and I dont mind missing the days of endlessly strip mining.

4:37 The horse dying in the backround 😂

I think we should have shields as well as being able to block with your sword, blocking with your sword would not be nearly as good as a shield and be prone to failure, but if you don't have a shield yet, at least you can do something to defend yourself.

Iron golems still offer villagers poppies

0:41 did you guys spot something?

i unsubed just so see the rainbow lol

Old villagers were more colourful and imaginative!

don't complain, if it was all the other way around, would it bother you too?

the angery eyegrows villager is just a particle not a mob texture

10:31 thats a cool nether portal you have in the backround
