The problem is the Minecraft community doesn't really understand how these mob votes work. You're not voting on one of three cool things to add, you're voting on one of three binned ideas Mojang has already tossed out, but they're giving the community the ability to save one of them. If it was an unquestionably good idea, Mojang would add it anyway. For instance, there is zero chance that if glow squids didn't win, that glowing signs wouldn't have been added anyway. Simply look at how the freeze effect was still added to the game, despite the mob that would have inflicted cold damage on the player losing the vote. So, the mob vote is asking you to save one of three bad ideas, not giving you the option to get one of three great ideas. And therefore, Mojang doesn't want to give you three. They'd rather give you zero. They don't want to add any of them, especially over time.
@@EvilParagon4that's cool and all but something you're missing is how useless and trash all the mobs are so instead of something fun and cute like the copper golem we got the allay which is useless
1:27 The only reason the phantom turned out as a "mistake" is because of the way mojang implemented them, the phantom would be far less annoying if Mojang did the bare minimum and made them require light level 0 to spawn above a block and even so, much more could've been done to make the phantom an actual mob and not a random annoyance.
I do kinda like it cause it does force us to sleep and it makes me feel more immersed just a little bit. I mean I for sure do miss not having to go to sleep and just exploring.
@@algotkristoffersson15 I do have a bed with me when I go out exploring, and don’t tell me you’ve never forgotten to sleep for three days as you’ve been doing something that has your whole mind? That’s also what I miss. Being able to be peaceful in your own base, that is fenced off from the other walking mobs.
@@algotkristoffersson15 or i can disable them when i create a new world because i aint going to bed every night and get attack by somewhat unavoidable flying enemies
What’s killing Minecraft is Mojang, all the new rules and censorship being enforced by Microsoft, deleting old accounts, banning certain servers and mods, they’re burning the whole thing to the ground right now, they’re even making it harder to go back and play older versions of the game now because they “don’t have the important safety features” so it feels like I can’t even go back and play the game I bought 12 years ago
@@igorfire13 I mean it’s Mojang making the changes, but it’s Microsoft that’s enforcing all the safety features and censorship. And yeah I am nostalgic, that’s the only reason a lot of older fans still play Minecraft, but they’re taking away from what made Minecraft feel so special, a simple game with no rules where you can do anything you want, but nowadays they fill it with pointless stuff and censor your freedom of speech and won’t allow you to use certain mods even though they’re made by a third party and they shouldn’t be able to get in any trouble for them, Microsoft is too worried about kids parent’s opinions and not about the actual players of the game, a large majority of which have grown up playing the game and are now old enough to make legal decisions for themselves
@@thewhitefalcon8539they deleted Mojang accounts due to them migrating to Microsoft accounts they gave those account owners multiple years of heads up
playing Minecraft Story Mode was the most nostalgic thing I ever done. the creativity, everything, even 6 year old me tried recreating the places I saw. it was fantastic.
@@Biggerman159 ehh i could argue with that otherwise there wouldn't be a maketplace in the first place for instance they dont have that for java. and also on xbox the prevented you from downloading mods or texture packs and importing them
The mob votes were a terrible idea. Did they really think that people would all be happy if they didnt get their option? There will always be upset players because of the votes
One thing I think they need to understand is sometimes to listen to the players, even if they will need to change the lore they are going for. Like the mobs, Just get rid of the mob vote,since too many people troll with making fake accounts to vote the worst ones. Just make good mobs then if the community likes it, add it. no? dont. And the unwanted or uneccessary items/
But the problem is that us players don’t even know what we want most of the time. A vote is a cool concept, but most Minecraft players don’t have the same knowledge as Mojang staff about how gameplay gets impacted by different updates.
The iceollager had already been in Minecraft dungeons for a while before the mob vote and was a pretty disliked mob like the phantom, a lot of dungeons players didn't vote for it because of that reason
@@ahaokatano3153It all depends on implementation. For all we know, we dodged a bullet by getting the glowsquid and the Iceolger would've just made mountains a pain.
4:50 A good idea would be bringing old vote mobs as an option in new polls. This would allow everyone to actually prioritise the best option possible and use some of the more underwhelming polls to bring previous second fave options.
No no no mob votes shouldn't even exist just let mojang decide the mobs they want to add at best the polls should be about whether you like the mob/mobs or not after Playing with them for a few weeks
@@idkmyname5893 They already are picking the mobs. I still think the idea of mob votes is fun. It engages the community and brings traffic to the game and to specific update. What I am saying is that - as they clearly are not stopping the idea, there could be ways to make it more engaging and actually matter. They are already picking the mobs and creating the features for specific ones. Having whole roster available would actually give us a better illusion of a choice and it would mean they would stop giving us sub-fun options, like for example Tuff Golem. You are proposing expanded input from the community, which isn't the worst idea - but it's kinda already a thing with the unfinished releases of the updates. With players giving their opinions through official channels (like previously Minecraft Reddit).
Yes, or just.. interact with the community. Maybe one year make a contest where people have to program a mob that didn't win from the mob votes, explain features etc and upload it as video, then submit it in a form with the link for the public to review, etc. Diverse ways a mob can be used will be explained and presented, and it would be an amazing way to connect with the community and get everyone talking and debating.
A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN ME, SO I NEED THIS TO BE SEEN. The mob in the game files is the Illusioner, not the Iceologer. I was wrong! My point still stands though, because the other options are terrible.. Also, yes, I did forget to talk about Hermit Craft, that's my bad. AND BRAZILIANS WERE ADDED TO THE QSMP, NOT PORTUGUESES.
Correction: The part where Jesse, Petra, Lukas and Ivor trying to get back home wasn't in Season 2. Half of Season 1 was defeating the witherstorm and the second half was the same part you talked about. Season 2 was actually about trying to defeat the Admin aka Romeo.
Yeah, as a big fan of MCSM, that annoyed me so much, as well as the part where he said that Telltale never made profit from it. They _did;_ in fact, it was the only game since TWD that made any profit. Don't get me wrong I love how he talked about it in this video - it hardly gets looked at in a positive light these days - but if you're going to talk about something like this, make sure you have all the details right, no?
Theres something to be said about logging on after years of not playing. I went from beta 1.8.1 to 1.18.2 not playing the game and i felt like i was in a new world with Pillagers, Trading, Warden, Elecytra, etc. If it gets boring i suggest just stop and come back. I modded 1.19.2 and still rocking strong on my smp world as an adult.
Thats true. A ton of people seen to just play Minecraft for literally years of their life, and when they start to get bored, they will immediately blame Mojang for anything that they didn't like. A huge part of the community seems to not understand that no game can be fun forever playing on a daily basis, neither that their opinion of what they like on the game is the ultimate true.
It really seems in some degree mojang have made mistakes that they really need to rectify, but a lot of it is put down the controller and come back a few years later. Honestly I'm pretty impressed by the new world generation after 1.19 (but I HATE how ores spawn and honesty the caves now are way too big imo)
@@hamidmuharemovic4234technically you cant do everything. Build farms for animals, make big bases or villages to fill your world, remake structures in your own style, make a challenge for yourself. Even if you "beat" the game there is an infinite amount of things to do with your world. You could also try to get a blue axolotl or find the rarest minecraft blocks or items. It doesnt just have to be: beat dragon and get elytra, it can be much more I bet I gave you a headache reading that 🙃
@@hamidmuharemovic4234or you could make your own lore for the world. Make landmarks so you know where you are in the world, make special forests made by you to make more atmosphere in the world, invite friends if they like minecraft, make your own texture pack if you feel like it. Infinite things to do :]
One problem with Minecraft (Survival Mode) is it's progression system. Mods like Maljusz's progressive difficulty ,which makes mobs harder after entering the Nether, and again after entering the End are a good fix at least for single player. Another problem is more general, and that's the fanbase is split and the more mob and biome votes that are done the more split it becomes. Mojang should focus on improving existing items, and making the game possible to run without mods. Other things they could do is make more mob variants, and incorporate things they promised to add but haven't. A full update that addresses the community's biggest problems would if done well bring old players back, and hopefully entice new players.
@@emilyrodriguez5445we didnt theorize he literally stated “i dont want more pillagers we already have enough i dont need one on the mountains to RUIN my speedruns” later everybody found out he was cheating…
@@markxnex973 Dream did technically cheat but let's not forget that it was due to a poorly coded plugin used for manhunt. It's not like he was deliberately going out of his way to cheat. We can and should still hold him accountable but let's not point fingers and call him a filthy cheater over one mistake
Personally, I feel like at the start of every update they have rly cool ideas and mid way they just loose interest and call it a day. They add random stuff like axolottls, dolfins or sea pickles but not a single new boss. The core survival gameplay hasn't changed since like 1.9, the only new stuff is a better set of armor and tools.
Just a small thing to point out, the illager mob you referred isn’t the Iceologer, it’s a different mob called the Illusioner that’s been in the game files since 2017.
It’s weird it’s an almost fully functional mob. And it isn’t even in the game. If mojang actually put work into it. The Illusioner would be a great addition to the Illager army.
@@drxtale9446 One of the devs said back at Minecon 2019 that they were planning on fully implementing the Illusioner into the game and adding them to raids, but we haven’t heard anything about that since then. I’m hoping this next update they finally get fully added.
It’s so strange hearing these things because I’ve played exclusively modded Minecraft, that I had to pause for a moment when you said the illusioner was just in game files. It really is wild how far the modding community has surpassed the actual developers.
I was obsessed with minecraft dungeons. I played for at least a few months and returned multiple times. I played the entire game with my brother the day it came out, and I cherish that memory. However. I look back on what the game really was, and I just feel dissapointed. So many people, myself included, have wanted more rpg elements in minecraft and that's basically what dungeons was. Tangible enchantments, numerous weapons that allow for countless approaches to combat. It had so many features I wanted in the real minecraft, but it missed the crucial detail of being like minecraft. Sure, there's creepers and dirt blocks, but that's basically where the similarities end. Zero mining, zero crafting, just grinding. But it's spinoff, what more could you expect? Hmm, game balance, maybe. At launch, fighters bindings with radiance made you unkillable, anything less than that and the game was a slog to play through (it didn't help that fighter's bindings were one of the most unfun items to grind for). Apocalypse+ was a total joke when it released, to even beat the mid level difficulties you need a slow gimmick build, and had to inch through levels one enemy at a time. The pickaxe meta, whirlwind meta, tempest knife meta (a paid dlc only item) you can't expect every option to be viable, but to have a fun experience you had to pick certain weapons. The camp merchants were practically useless at launch, but they only got upgraded to be useful after the majority of players wrote the game off. The tower was dissapointing, it didn't even have multiplayer at launch in a game that heavily incentivizes playing with friends. Minecraft dungeons was a huge missed opportunity, to this day I pray they will add just a weapon or a mob to the real minecraft, but I don't think they plan on utilizing their troves of premade content anytime soon.
My biggest issue with Minecraft now days isnt with the game itself. Its more with decisions Mojang/Microsoft have made for the community. Chat reporting, EULA changes. Forgetting the game has a wide audience of different ages and intrests. I mostly trust mojang with the game, but I dont trust them at all with the community.
the devs making the phantom and refusing to redo it, was their own mistake 1. there wasnt much information (as you say here 0:42) 2. they attack too quickly/frequently 3. they have basically zero alternative use, because its main drop doesnt really do much, when people just use mending 4. the durability system of the elytra being so poor in order to make the drop useful, was the elytra's main issue after the fact that they made it so you could fly nearly indefinitely when you use fireworks
I never played Story Mode or Earth, and I heard Legends is bad so I haven’t bought it, but I played Minecraft Dungeons, and wow. It’s honestly amazing. A dungeon crawler spin-off of Minecraft was a greta idea and was executed really well, especially its multiplayer factor. Great game overall
STORY MODE IS SO GOOD! I watched and played it when it came out and it still holds up honestly. both games. deffo recommend it if you can get your hands on it.
Nice to see someone else who's minecraft nastolgia comes mostly from Story Mode and DanTDM/Thinknoodles/Thnxcya Crazy Craft. I hope one day we get a season 3.
Unfortunately it's most likely never gonna get a season 3 but if it did, I'd like to see dimensions break down and jesse and his gang try figuring out why
The phantom is a pian When they announced it and what it does, I always mined at night to avoid mobs on the surface so I thought nothing of this mob Until traveling back to base at night in full iron (Personally I think iron got a debuff) And so many of them hit me at once my health went from 100 to zero faster than an F1 car at top speed, the fact that several can hit you at once needs to change because it doesn't matter what armour you have or enchantments if enough tuch you in one go you die and this happens a bit too often
"Is Minecraft getting worse" >1.9 combat update >Mojang sold and is now owned by a massive corporation >Updates take 1 year to release despite containing small amount of content >Mob votes >Mob votes being rigged (i.e the Sniffer) >Chat reporting implementation for Java >Removing/excluding features for bullshit reasons (i.e Sharks not being added because they have a negative stigma around them being man eaters and fireflies being removed because they can harm frogs despite them keeping in the feature to KILL parrots with cookies) >1.21 adding more stuff to actively not use besides the automated crafter >Mojang putting more effort into spin-off games than the main game >Ancient cities and Archaeology sites being added that provide the player with loot that is not useful >The list goes on Yeah I'd say Minecraft is getting worse. Part of it is on Microsoft but a majority of it is on Mojang.
Modders make moving machines, furniture, add rpg elements, cooler magic, better bosses, more beauty. Developers add insipid mobs, high effort low reward exploration motivators or another color of wood/stone- and we are supposed to get excited for it? At this point updates are not just pointless but force inspired independent developers to rework their mods, plugins and add-ons.
All that stuff drastically changes the game and makes it a new game that some people like and some people don't like. Mods can be uninstalled if you don't like them - new features can't.
@@thewhitefalcon8539 ah yes, drastically changes the way exploration is done by adding tons of useless shit and never expanding the survival and explore part
Spin-off expert here. Minecraft Earth devs had a great idea how to make the game playable during pandemic. But again, good idea, bad execution. Minecraft Dungeons - I disagree. You have many different ways and builds you can play with. Some would choose melee taking, other summoning pets, other ranged build. Minecraft Legends - It's not even RPG, never was supposed to be. It's an action strategy.
People hate the phantom but the other mobs were just as bad. A blaze with a shield, a mob that pulled you under water when your trying to cross the oceans or a mob thay eats your enchantments
The last one's literally a walking grindstone I think the only problem with the phantoms is their absolutely terrible spawn mechanic when you have to wait 3 days (an hour) without sleeping in order for them to appear. This is annoying because intended encounter with those guys is unnecessarily time consuming and frustrating, but when you do not intend for them to spawn it gets even worse: they assemble into massive hordes to basically torture you. "Just sleep" doesn't solve the issue because we don't have a way to sleep and not change the spawnpoint. Hostile mobs are already here to punish a player for no sleeping, there was no need in this atrocity. At the same time you can't just turn phantoms off and live peacefully since they have a cool drop: the phantom membrane, which can be used to repair elytras and make slow falling potion (a must have when you travel in the End)
At least the hovering inferno is a mob that only spawns in nether fortresses while those anonnying flying rib cages spawn in the overworld, a dimension where 99.9% of players build their bases in there and they spawn after not sleeping for 3 days, the game litterally punishes its players for not skipping the challenges of night time (which doesn't make any f*cking sense). The phantoms existence is mostly Mojang's fault why? Because the entire concept of that mob doesn't make any logical sense at all. For example, games like dark souls or elden rign offers its players some mini bosses that can be skipped all together, logically those games should reward their players for taking the challenges of defeating those mini bosses, imagine if that was the oppesite, after defeating one boss the game for example takes money from its players, lowers some of the playable character stats, or the game throws an anonnying powerful enemy that follow you where and when you ever go, and then you have to use an item or do some specific things in order to get rid of such punishment. Do you now understand why the phantom sucks as a concept and as a mob and why the blaze with shield is a way more logical mob?
a lot of the complaints with minecraft recently comes from a lot of old players that prefer the way the old game is, Don't get me wrong it is FAR from perfect and the last couple updates have been mid at best, trails and tales is oddly good despite it being really small
I think that as long as the current and new content creators keep up their amazing work, minecraft wont die. Minecraft is currently relevant only because of its content creators
I recently found a copy of Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 for my Nintendo Switch hiding in the back of my draw, I’m replaying it and I’m crying of nostalgia.
True but is it really better that no one gets input into what mob gets added to Minecraft? I thought most people were happy with the Sniffer. I voted Tuff Golem but I'm still not disappointed with the Sniffer.
@@IMadeAnEntireSpeciesForWhatEvery single mob except for Phantom was a mistake. At least phantom adds something. Elyctra repair and a hard reminder you need to sleep
I've just recently started playing Dungeons again... After over a year Also I ❤ MCSM, mostly for nostalgia but there were some really good concepts and plot-twists and the 2nd season had some seriously good story-telling.
Glow squids not being able to emit light like a torch really sucks. Just imagine how cool it would look if you had an aquarium with them. They would've made for awesome decor, providing an unusual yet unique option for builders to include in their builds. And just imagine seeing small glow squid ponds in the deep dark. I don't think it would be a stretch to have a pretty, yet rare light source down there. What a waste of what could've been so cool.
I was really hoping you'd talk about the lack of focus on the survival aspect of the game with new updates. I miss the old Minecraft, when nights were scary. I can't stand playing survival and seeing villages and structures everywhere that make it too easy to survive. I had a moment yesterday where I learned that world generation is partly based on temperature, and thought how much of a missed opportunity it is to have temperature coded into the game that has NO effect on gameplay/survival. It only determines what types of biome generate in the area. But hey, we have armor trim and clay pots and... sniffers. Minecraft has been taking a nosedive since Beta 1.7 IMO.
this video is really well done and has good editing, in my personal opinion the main problem with minecraft atm is the updates i feel are lacking, like with the 1.20 features the only ones that i’ve even used were the new wood types i would love a end update like they did with the nether
I started playing Minecraft in 2019 on my PS4, when "Minecraft PS4 Edition" was a thing. I still play it and enjoy it to this day and I hope it will stay so.
Minecraft will always be my favorite game, even though I miss the old versions, I need to face the truth,I also love the new updates,and without them minecraft would probably die fast right now, and without the mob vote there will be no drama (I found out that when a community doesn't have a drama going on, it's gonna die fast or at least a couple of months, I still think that the minecraft creators just loves to see chaos tbh ) sorry if my English is bad lol
Story mode was the only spin off that wasn't bad. It gave somethig much different. Sad that the game got killed The current games are made on force, hype that dies faster(support)
@@catsdogswoof3968 isn't minecraft plus a screensaver pack? I don't think it counts, it was more an "snapshot" Old MC isn't a spin off, it is a developer process, which doesn't make it a spin off(it's a Wip of the Main game)
Warden being as it is is good. Imagine just storming him and killing and then freely roaming around looting ancient city while now you have to be sneaky, so the "mini-game" is very intense and interacting
But... you can't kill it easily? And multiple wardens can spawn so you can't just roam around? Minecraft is a sandbox game, meaning that the possibilities should be limitless. Players will try to kill the warden, and it's difficult so they should get a reward.
Despite people hating it, I always compare mojang to relogic (Terraria dev team) Terraria's updates seem to always be almost solely based on fan and Player feedback and those ideas of new mobs, npc's, weapons, armor sets, pets, and even bosses are taken by the devs (Red, Cenx, Skiph, etc) given their own twist and implemented into the game with passion and love for the fans. High quality, no voting with limited choices, none of that. Mojang on the other hand has been forcing the fans to choose between 3 mobs all of which serve little to no function and the functions they do serve are either just dumb like the sniffer or just annoying like the phantom. It seems like there's no more passion.
Those are different games with different developers which shouldnt be compared, that's first. Second is that Minecraft devs dont want to make Minecraft very complicated and over their vanilla style (which is highly subjective, that's why its hard to do), which they focus on, unlike Terraria, which is a progression based game. That's why they limit options of Mob Vote, since the mobs in them are... debatable, especially for Minecraft's style.
I think the issue with modern Minecraft, is that Mojang is trying too hard to make thr game something it's not, while doing so in the laziest way possible, if that makes sense.
Honestly, every point was spot-on. Games like Story Mode didn't deserve to be canceled. Sometimes, I think MC has fallen off with the amount of bad content around it these days. Everytime that happens, I look at what's good about the game, the things you can do, see, hear, experiences we have and never get again. This video was awesome, and you definitely earned a sub!
I’m still mad at Minecraft Story mode. I paid money for those games and since I never downloaded the episodes I bought (I deleted the app) So my money is gone and I can’t replay it. Literally my money got stolen because I bought it Thats like minecraft just banning players because they ent broke
The illager mob you can spawn into the game with commands is the Illusioner, not the iceologer. The illusioner was intended to be another participant in village raids, but was never fully implemented (for whatever reason). And yes, the warden isn't a boss and you're not supposed to kill it. It's supposed to be an insurmountable threat you have to avoid rather than confront. I don't particularly mind that approach because it makes sneaking another gameplay tool, but I do believe making the warden a monster that you can deal damage to was a misstep. I think it would've been more interesting if skulk as a whole was the threat. Maybe patches of it could track your location with the sensors and create traps or other hazards. Imagine how terrifying it would be to be walking along, exploring an ancient city, then suddenly giant teeth spring up from the ground around you and grab you. Or pits randomly open up and now you're playing spleef with an invisible opponent.
Microsoft bought Minecraft, and now are trying to make other games to benefit off Minecraft’s success using its name. Minecraft dungeons, Minecraft legends… has anyone ever actually liked them? No, probably not. They add like 2 blocks per update, and do shit all else.
Great video explaining why people played in the past or are playing, not only talking about the nostalgia aspect but concluding with the new trends. The length is short and the subject is well explained !❤❤
This video has almost nothing to do with Minecraft getting better or worse. This is just you rambling for 20 minutes about spin-offs and your nostalgia.
I would've wanted Sniffer anyway but it's a bit too hard to find, it's annoying. I'd go for Tuff golem instead but I also fear how they'd screw up the golems so it's probably better in my opinion left to people who will make mods for it out of love. [usually having more features, more fair, maybe less or just a helpful addon unlike most.]
Man the compilation of old Minecraft UA-camr videos really brought me back, and ever reminded me of a few people I haven't thought is in years. For me, Amylee33, Stampy, and BigBStatz we're who I watched most, and now I think I should check to see where their channels have gone.
Here's why I think minecraft spin-off games are essential to the main game: 1. Various different ways of playing minecraft. Minecraft is no longer considered a game, but a game series. (according to Jeb) 2. Lore. Personally, I am a huge fan of the lore, and things like disc 5 (which btw combines the lore of Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons) really excite me. I am the kind of person who would play a game only for the lore (that's why I played Minecraft Dungeons and bought the Minecraft Dungeon's novel) 3. Content. Mojang has been known to add content from one game to another. Games like Minecraft Legends, which began development in 2018, were the foundations to updates like the Nether Update. Even the wild update had some foundations to Minecraft Dungeons, since one Dungeon's mob can be heard in Disc 5, before a cut to music. 4. I LIKE THEM WHY DONT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WHY MINECRAFT DUNGEONS HAVE NO UPDATE WHY PEOPLE DONT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THEM THEY LITERALLY ARE THE BEST GAMES EVER... is anyone still reading???
I will always remember waking up on a Saturday morning, going to the kitchen to grab brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts. Then getting on UA-cam to watch The Atlantic Craft Jurassic Craft series. I always loved watching Cody and Joe get into some outlandish situations while trying to deal with dinosaurs in minecraft. That will always be one of the times I loved best about minecraft. maybe I don't watch Atlantic craft as much anymore but I have that jurassic craft playlist saved to my playlists whenever I feel like rewatching.
I remember watching Minecraft story mode on netflix all the time with my friends and family and it’s so nostalgic, and when I was starting to play Minecraft (2016) I always made creepers explode and then trap other hostile mobs there and thought it woould help🥹🥹🥹
Very well made video. I think it is less of Minecraft getting worse or Minecraft getting better and more of a transfer of style, size, and community from the earlier days to the modern era. As someone who has played Minecraft for the past 12 years, it is a wonderful game that I do love, but most of the content and gameplay options of the modern community aren't really too much to my liking, but that's just how these things happen. Games evolve, alongside their playerbase, and Minecraft is no different.
is minecraft getting worse? yes, Microsoft keeps sticking it in the pie and refuses to stop, so every update post 1.18 has been getting incrementally worse
Mojang's decision to focus a bit more on updating the already existing features is nice because it keeps the old stuff "afloat" and more up to date, making it more interesting to interact with. I really hope that they'll start adding the rejected mobs from mob vote (although I voted for Sniffer I think Rascal is an interesting mob that I want to see being added to the game in the near future) and actually do something with the already existing inaccessible mobs like illusioner and zombie horse.
How has this only got 1.7K views? Great editing and video. You just earned a subscriber :) Edit: also i think you should've mentioned the 100 days trend since that has became really popular and created a new genre of minecraft videos
The 2021 vote was so dumb, because all the mobs there should have been added. Hell, all the mob votes are dumb. It’s basically a way for mojang to put less effort into making new mobs. They think of a lot of different mobs, then only add one and then have a get out of jail free card in the “you guys voted for it” bullshit.
Watching this video I so surprised to realize It didn’t even have 1000 views. It definitely deserves more. This is really high quality. Keep up the good work👍
I started watching minecraft around 2015 it wasnt until 2016 when i tried it, i was pretty bad but i slowly grew to be average. i always thought of the game showing me how far it has come, but it was showing me how far i came.
the thing that irritates me about the spin offs is how much more they have, like they have improved biomes, fun new plants and blocks, cool mobs yet when minecraft updates come round i feel like we really dont get much which i would be fine with if it weren't the most sold game in the world, even that id try and ignore if it weren't for the April fools updates, look at the lest one there were so many features added, half slabs, a new "dimension" in the form of the moon! it was buggy yeah but but it was more than playable and added some stuff the community has been asking for for years! it just feels like when a new update comes out it only takes me an hour or so to lose excitement because i feel like thats it ive done it now, i wish they would do updates less frequently and add more or something, maybe do a golem update and add the tuff and copper golem?
You cant always make everyone happy but sadly its always the bad things among the so many good ones that gets talked about. Think about how many good things that were added instead or think about what we could do to improve ”bad” features.
the mob vote was bad now the java chat report feature is just the final nail in the coffin for a game we once loved but at the end of the day minecraft is still minecraft and it will still hold a special place in our heart and at the core the game is still the same game where we built are first house tamed our first wolf beat up a mob and barley escaped with your life that is the beauty of minecraft never knowing what adventures will come next not knowing if a creeper will creep up on you whether or not knowing if you have enough materials to build your base. I once heard someone say minecraft is not about what you have built it's what you can build.
at this point I'm considering just acting like new updates are mediocre mods and Beta mods like Better Than Adventure are the real vanilla versions of the game
Unironically, notch’s vision for the game was great and ever since his departure it has been steadily downhill from there. Say what you will about the content of his character but the game was much better. Nowadays it seems like they add 1 or 2 good additions but bloat the game with a plethora of other additions. At that point, I would rather add what I want piecemeal like with steam workshop mods
I remember when I bought the 2 seasons of Minecraft Story Mode and I really enjoyed playing them and I couldn't wait what Season 3 could have been but I was like shattered because of Telltale Games completly shutting down
Copper is so useless they should atleast let us make armor or tools with it. Even if its complete garbage like alil less useful than iron but more than wood. Itd be kinda cool. still probably never get used but atleast the option would be there
Hey as long as you can get on a new single player world and you can have fun, then the game is still good for you, and yes even if you loose all your stuff in lava.
Feels like Microsoft are too busy trying to franchise the minecraft name. I love minecraft. I haven’t properly played in many years but I’m sure it’s still a great game but from what I’ve seen, it’s losing its charm. that being it’s simplicity. I don’t know anything about these shulker chests, flying wings, end castles etc. But I’ve always begged the question of why these needed to be added? Imagination stems from simplicity. Now there’s a block for everything, a mob for everything, an item for everything. The beauty of minecraft was its simplicity, with that simplicity comes imagination. That is what minecraft is. It’s what it should always be. If you were bored of vanilla then you’d download a mod! Enter: Tekkit. An expansion mod more inspired by real world applications like machines, expanded resources like gems and copper, environments like oil spills etc. why is this fine? Because it’s external. The base game is preserved and it’s core gameplay is uncompromised.
The end got me. To the point I completely ignored whatever I'm doing. I can't sleep unless I get this out. The near ending when he explains everything... it's like, listening to some sort of musical masterpiece. Or some motivational thing that I'd actually give a damn about. The way he explains it. The way the music kicking in. The way all the emotions come flooding. The memories. It's just like... bliss. Until the video end and everything goes sad face emoji. I'm just typing random stuff that won't be seen...
The Warden being added is one of my favorite things about Minecraft. Once you get far enough in the game, you get all kinds of powerful weapons and armor that pretty much makes you undefeatable. In a sense, the Warden reintroduces that feeling of vulnerability that you experience similar to when you start a new world and have nothing. You don't know if you turn a corner and you'll die from a Creeper or get pelted by a Skeleton. For the Warden, no matter how prepared you think you are, there's a good chance you won't survive if you encounter it. I like that it isn't a "boss" mob and it's meant to be avoided. It makes going into the caves more fun and exciting! Also, I really miss MC Story Mode as well. I never got to see the second season to it the full way through. Edit: To add, this is a really good Minecraft video! You did a good job of explaining everything for how it is. It really opened my eyes to how much the franchise has been through and how much has changed. I love all the new updates and content! I got into Minecraft around the end of 1.16 and I don't think I could ever stop playing it.
@@megadustone I believe Mojang said the only reason for that was to take away the incentive for players to fight it. Unique loot or even a good chunk of XP would make players want to try to take it out. Guess Mojang really didn't want it to be fought lol. Even the XP of the Catalyst was reduced. Me personally, I'm fine with it. (I still believe there is a possibility for a Sculk Dimension, perhaps with its own bosses)
15:32 yeaaa... I myself am a "Survival Builder" and sometimes am a "Creative Builder" type of player. When I play Minecraft, I seek to build in a particular Style of building. FOr instance "Today, I want to build my Travian Roman Village from a year ago". I grind (or cheat) the resources and start re-enacting that style of building.
Why do they have a vote if it’s rigged? Hell, just add all three of the mobs. Major updates come out nearly every year, if the advanced programmers at Mojang can’t make 3 mobs and some blocks in 1 year then maybe it’s best minceraft is dying.
I started playing Minecraft during the time when hype was low. I've been playing ever since but didn't know much about many of the MC UA-cam creators. Now i play with my 8 year old and he shows me videos from Thinknoodles and some of the other names mentioned here. I feel like I did Minecraft backwards a bit, but perhaps it's a good thing because I went into the game and community with an unbiased viewpoint. I still think adding lore to the game itself (like trail ruins and the whole concept of archeology itself) feels a bit out of place. I wish they would focus on a) updating what's already in the game and b) adding more useful things like new enchantments. I know we're all excited about swift sneak, but I feel like even the impact of that was softened by nerfing villager trades and making certain enchantments biome specific.
2:47 the mob you're talking about is "Illusioner" and it's been in the game since 1.12 (i think) and has NOTHING to do with iceologer they're different entities and do completely different things Illusioner summons decoys of himself, blinds the player and uses a bow as it's main weapon and it's in the actual game
It just doesn’t feel like minecraft anymore. I can’t really explain it, but a lot of these updates feel out of place. Like less is more. I know every game needs updates, but minecraft doesn’t feel like minecraft to me in the way that fortnite doesn’t feel like fortnite anymore.
I feel like the “we’ll have all 3 but vote for what you want first” was the best way to go about it
The problem is the Minecraft community doesn't really understand how these mob votes work.
You're not voting on one of three cool things to add, you're voting on one of three binned ideas Mojang has already tossed out, but they're giving the community the ability to save one of them.
If it was an unquestionably good idea, Mojang would add it anyway. For instance, there is zero chance that if glow squids didn't win, that glowing signs wouldn't have been added anyway. Simply look at how the freeze effect was still added to the game, despite the mob that would have inflicted cold damage on the player losing the vote.
So, the mob vote is asking you to save one of three bad ideas, not giving you the option to get one of three great ideas.
And therefore, Mojang doesn't want to give you three. They'd rather give you zero. They don't want to add any of them, especially over time.
@@EvilParagon4 ah I see. I suppose the “all 3” format would probably work better for biomes then mobs

1:27 The only reason the phantom turned out as a "mistake" is because of the way mojang implemented them, the phantom would be far less annoying if Mojang did the bare minimum and made them require light level 0 to spawn above a block and even so, much more could've been done to make the phantom an actual mob and not a random annoyance.

What’s killing Minecraft is Mojang, all the new rules and censorship being enforced by Microsoft, deleting old accounts, banning certain servers and mods, they’re burning the whole thing to the ground right now, they’re even making it harder to go back and play older versions of the game now because they “don’t have the important safety features” so it feels like I can’t even go back and play the game I bought 12 years ago
Microsoft or Mojang? Didn't understand, cause they aren't the same companies. And it feels like you're just nostalgic about it.
@@igorfire13 I mean it’s Mojang making the changes, but it’s Microsoft that’s enforcing all the safety features and censorship. And yeah I am nostalgic, that’s the only reason a lot of older fans still play Minecraft, but they’re taking away from what made Minecraft feel so special, a simple game with no rules where you can do anything you want, but nowadays they fill it with pointless stuff and censor your freedom of speech and won’t allow you to use certain mods even though they’re made by a third party and they shouldn’t be able to get in any trouble for them, Microsoft is too worried about kids parent’s opinions and not about the actual players of the game, a large majority of which have grown up playing the game and are now old enough to make legal decisions for themselves
Deleting old accounts? That's literally illegal since they bought forever licenses. The license in alpha was extremely favourable to the buyer.

One thing I think they need to understand is sometimes to listen to the players, even if they will need to change the lore they are going for.

No no no mob votes shouldn't even exist just let mojang decide the mobs they want to add at best the polls should be about whether you like the mob/mobs or not after Playing with them for a few weeks
@@idkmyname5893 They already are picking the mobs. I still think the idea of mob votes is fun. It engages the community and brings traffic to the game and to specific update.
What I am saying is that - as they clearly are not stopping the idea, there could be ways to make it more engaging and actually matter. They are already picking the mobs and creating the features for specific ones. Having whole roster available would actually give us a better illusion of a choice and it would mean they would stop giving us sub-fun options, like for example Tuff Golem.
You are proposing expanded input from the community, which isn't the worst idea - but it's kinda already a thing with the unfinished releases of the updates. With players giving their opinions through official channels (like previously Minecraft Reddit).
Yes, or just.. interact with the community. Maybe one year make a contest where people have to program a mob that didn't win from the mob votes, explain features etc and upload it as video, then submit it in a form with the link for the public to review, etc. Diverse ways a mob can be used will be explained and presented, and it would be an amazing way to connect with the community and get everyone talking and debating.
i also think bringing biome votes back would be best
Yeah fr I need my moobloom
A LOT MORE PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN ME, SO I NEED THIS TO BE SEEN. The mob in the game files is the Illusioner, not the Iceologer. I was wrong! My point still stands though, because the other options are terrible..

Theres something to be said about logging on after years of not playing. I went from beta 1.8.1 to 1.18.2 not playing the game and i felt like i was in a new world with Pillagers, Trading, Warden, Elecytra, etc. If it gets boring i suggest just stop and come back. I modded 1.19.2 and still rocking strong on my smp world as an adult.
Thats true. A ton of people seen to just play Minecraft for literally years of their life, and when they start to get bored, they will immediately blame Mojang for anything that they didn't like. A huge part of the community seems to not understand that no game can be fun forever playing on a daily basis, neither that their opinion of what they like on the game is the ultimate true.
It really seems in some degree mojang have made mistakes that they really need to rectify, but a lot of it is put down the controller and come back a few years later.
Honestly I'm pretty impressed by the new world generation after 1.19 (but I HATE how ores spawn and honesty the caves now are way too big imo)

One problem with Minecraft (Survival Mode) is it's progression system. Mods like Maljusz's progressive difficulty ,which makes mobs harder after entering the Nether, and again after entering the End are a good fix at least for single player. Another problem is more general, and that's the fanbase is split and the more mob and biome votes that are done the more split it becomes. Mojang should focus on improving existing items, and making the game possible to run without mods. Other things they could do is make more mob variants, and incorporate things they promised to add but haven't. A full update that addresses the community's biggest problems would if done well bring old players back, and hopefully entice new players.

The core survival gameplay hasn't changed since like 1.9, the only new stuff is a better set of armor and tools.
Just a small thing to point out, the illager mob you referred isn’t the Iceologer, it’s a different mob called the Illusioner that’s been in the game files since 2017.

I was obsessed with minecraft dungeons. I played for at least a few months and returned multiple times. I played the entire game with my brother the day it came out, and I cherish that memory.
However. I look back on what the game really was, and I just feel dissapointed. So many people, myself included, have wanted more rpg elements in minecraft and that's basically what dungeons was. Tangible enchantments, numerous weapons that allow for countless approaches to combat. It had so many features I wanted in the real minecraft, but it missed the crucial detail of being like minecraft. Sure, there's creepers and dirt blocks, but that's basically where the similarities end. Zero mining, zero crafting, just grinding. But it's spinoff, what more could you expect? Hmm, game balance, maybe. At launch, fighters bindings with radiance made you unkillable, anything less than that and the game was a slog to play through (it didn't help that fighter's bindings were one of the most unfun items to grind for). Apocalypse+ was a total joke when it released, to even beat the mid level difficulties you need a slow gimmick build, and had to inch through levels one enemy at a time. The pickaxe meta, whirlwind meta, tempest knife meta (a paid dlc only item) you can't expect every option to be viable, but to have a fun experience you had to pick certain weapons. The camp merchants were practically useless at launch, but they only got upgraded to be useful after the majority of players wrote the game off. The tower was dissapointing, it didn't even have multiplayer at launch in a game that heavily incentivizes playing with friends. Minecraft dungeons was a huge missed opportunity, to this day I pray they will add just a weapon or a mob to the real minecraft, but I don't think they plan on utilizing their troves of premade content anytime soon.
i think this guy is pretty obsessed over minecraft dungeons
My biggest issue with Minecraft now days isnt with the game itself. Its more with decisions Mojang/Microsoft have made for the community. Chat reporting, EULA changes. Forgetting the game has a wide audience of different ages and intrests.
I mostly trust mojang with the game, but I dont trust them at all with the community.
I miss story mode, it was so much fun.
the devs making the phantom and refusing to redo it, was their own mistake
1. there wasnt much information (as you say here 0:42)
2. they attack too quickly/frequently
3. they have basically zero alternative use, because its main drop doesnt really do much, when people just use mending
4. the durability system of the elytra being so poor in order to make the drop useful, was the elytra's main issue after the fact that they made it so you could fly nearly indefinitely when you use fireworks
I never played Story Mode or Earth, and I heard Legends is bad so I haven’t bought it, but I played Minecraft Dungeons, and wow. It’s honestly amazing. A dungeon crawler spin-off of Minecraft was a greta idea and was executed really well, especially its multiplayer factor. Great game overall

When they announced it and what it does, I always mined at night to avoid mobs on the surface so I thought nothing of this mob
Until traveling back to base at night in full iron (Personally I think iron got a debuff) And so many of them hit me at once my health went from 100 to zero faster than an F1 car at top speed, the fact that several can hit you at once needs to change because it doesn't matter what armour you have or enchantments if enough tuch you in one go you die and this happens a bit too often

Minecraft Dungeons - I disagree. You have many different ways and builds you can play with. Some would choose melee taking, other summoning pets, other ranged build.
Minecraft Legends - It's not even RPG, never was supposed to be. It's an action strategy.
People hate the phantom but the other mobs were just as bad. A blaze with a shield, a mob that pulled you under water when your trying to cross the oceans or a mob thay eats your enchantments
The last one's literally a walking grindstone
I think the only problem with the phantoms is their absolutely terrible spawn mechanic when you have to wait 3 days (an hour) without sleeping in order for them to appear. This is annoying because intended encounter with those guys is unnecessarily time consuming and frustrating, but when you do not intend for them to spawn it gets even worse: they assemble into massive hordes to basically torture you. "Just sleep" doesn't solve the issue because we don't have a way to sleep and not change the spawnpoint. Hostile mobs are already here to punish a player for no sleeping, there was no need in this atrocity.
At the same time you can't just turn phantoms off and live peacefully since they have a cool drop: the phantom membrane, which can be used to repair elytras and make slow falling potion (a must have when you travel in the End)
At least the hovering inferno is a mob that only spawns in nether fortresses while those anonnying flying rib cages spawn in the overworld, a dimension where 99.9% of players build their bases in there and they spawn after not sleeping for 3 days, the game litterally punishes its players for not skipping the challenges of night time (which doesn't make any f*cking sense). The phantoms existence is mostly Mojang's fault why? Because the entire concept of that mob doesn't make any logical sense at all. For example, games like dark souls or elden rign offers its players some mini bosses that can be skipped all together, logically those games should reward their players for taking the challenges of defeating those mini bosses, imagine if that was the oppesite, after defeating one boss the game for example takes money from its players, lowers some of the playable character stats, or the game throws an anonnying powerful enemy that follow you where and when you ever go, and then you have to use an item or do some specific things in order to get rid of such punishment. Do you now understand why the phantom sucks as a concept and as a mob and why the blaze with shield is a way more logical mob?

Also I ❤ MCSM, mostly for nostalgia but there were some really good concepts and plot-twists and the 2nd season had some seriously good story-telling.
Glow squids not being able to emit light like a torch really sucks. Just imagine how cool it would look if you had an aquarium with them. They would've made for awesome decor, providing an unusual yet unique option for builders to include in their builds. And just imagine seeing small glow squid ponds in the deep dark. I don't think it would be a stretch to have a pretty, yet rare light source down there. What a waste of what could've been so cool.
I was really hoping you'd talk about the lack of focus on the survival aspect of the game with new updates. I miss the old Minecraft, when nights were scary. I can't stand playing survival and seeing villages and structures everywhere that make it too easy to survive. I had a moment yesterday where I learned that world generation is partly based on temperature, and thought how much of a missed opportunity it is to have temperature coded into the game that has NO effect on gameplay/survival. It only determines what types of biome generate in the area. But hey, we have armor trim and clay pots and... sniffers. Minecraft has been taking a nosedive since Beta 1.7 IMO.
this video is really well done and has good editing, in my personal opinion the main problem with minecraft atm is the updates i feel are lacking, like with the 1.20 features the only ones that i’ve even used were the new wood types i would love a end update like they did with the nether
I started playing Minecraft in 2019 on my PS4, when "Minecraft PS4 Edition" was a thing. I still play it and enjoy it to this day and I hope it will stay so.
Minecraft will always be my favorite game, even though I miss the old versions, I need to face the truth,I also love the new updates,and without them minecraft would probably die fast right now, and without the mob vote there will be no drama (I found out that when a community doesn't have a drama going on, it's gonna die fast or at least a couple of months, I still think that the minecraft creators just loves to see chaos tbh ) sorry if my English is bad lol
hmm
You can still play old versions and mod them
How in the world do you have less than 100k subscribers? You take so much time and love into making these videos!
Story mode was the only spin off that wasn't bad. It gave somethig much different. Sad that the game got killed
The current games are made on force, hype that dies faster(support)
meaning story mode season 2 all minecraft versions that arent the first and minecraft plus were awful? maybe think before you speak
@@catsdogswoof3968 isn't minecraft plus a screensaver pack? I don't think it counts, it was more an "snapshot"
Old MC isn't a spin off, it is a developer process, which doesn't make it a spin off(it's a Wip of the Main game)
bro minecraft story mode was so damn nostalgic.
Warden being as it is is good. Imagine just storming him and killing and then freely roaming around looting ancient city while now you have to be sneaky, so the "mini-game" is very intense and interacting
But... you can't kill it easily? And multiple wardens can spawn so you can't just roam around? Minecraft is a sandbox game, meaning that the possibilities should be limitless. Players will try to kill the warden, and it's difficult so they should get a reward.
You can literally roam around and do whatever you want if you get like 20 pieces of wool xd
Despite people hating it, I always compare mojang to relogic (Terraria dev team)
Terraria's updates seem to always be almost solely based on fan and Player feedback and those ideas of new mobs, npc's, weapons, armor sets, pets, and even bosses are taken by the devs (Red, Cenx, Skiph, etc) given their own twist and implemented into the game with passion and love for the fans. High quality, no voting with limited choices, none of that.
Mojang on the other hand has been forcing the fans to choose between 3 mobs all of which serve little to no function and the functions they do serve are either just dumb like the sniffer or just annoying like the phantom. It seems like there's no more passion.
Those are different games with different developers which shouldnt be compared, that's first. Second is that Minecraft devs dont want to make Minecraft very complicated and over their vanilla style (which is highly subjective, that's why its hard to do), which they focus on, unlike Terraria, which is a progression based game. That's why they limit options of Mob Vote, since the mobs in them are... debatable, especially for Minecraft's style.
I think the issue with modern Minecraft, is that Mojang is trying too hard to make thr game something it's not, while doing so in the laziest way possible, if that makes sense.
I think making a hostile mob you aren't supposed to kill is bad game design. That goes against everything the game conditions players to do.
Honestly, every point was spot-on. Games like Story Mode didn't deserve to be canceled. Sometimes, I think MC has fallen off with the amount of bad content around it these days. Everytime that happens, I look at what's good about the game, the things you can do, see, hear, experiences we have and never get again. This video was awesome, and you definitely earned a sub!
I’m still mad at Minecraft Story mode. I paid money for those games and since I never downloaded the episodes I bought (I deleted the app)
So my money is gone and I can’t replay it. Literally my money got stolen because I bought it
Thats like minecraft just banning players because they ent broke
atleast someone who appreciates the minecraft story mode efforts...we will miss it
The illager mob you can spawn into the game with commands is the Illusioner, not the iceologer. The illusioner was intended to be another participant in village raids, but was never fully implemented (for whatever reason).
And yes, the warden isn't a boss and you're not supposed to kill it. It's supposed to be an insurmountable threat you have to avoid rather than confront. I don't particularly mind that approach because it makes sneaking another gameplay tool, but I do believe making the warden a monster that you can deal damage to was a misstep.
I think it would've been more interesting if skulk as a whole was the threat. Maybe patches of it could track your location with the sensors and create traps or other hazards. Imagine how terrifying it would be to be walking along, exploring an ancient city, then suddenly giant teeth spring up from the ground around you and grab you. Or pits randomly open up and now you're playing spleef with an invisible opponent.
This channel is severely underrated, great video and unbiased relatable storytelling! You’ll make it big eventually just keep your head up 👍❤
I can't keep my head up. 2 years and I'm done.
Microsoft bought Minecraft, and now are trying to make other games to benefit off Minecraft’s success using its name. Minecraft dungeons, Minecraft legends… has anyone ever actually liked them? No, probably not. They add like 2 blocks per update, and do shit all else.
Great video explaining why people played in the past or are playing, not only talking about the nostalgia aspect but concluding with the new trends. The length is short and the subject is well explained !❤❤
This video has almost nothing to do with Minecraft getting better or worse. This is just you rambling for 20 minutes about spin-offs and your nostalgia.
I would've wanted Sniffer anyway but it's a bit too hard to find, it's annoying. I'd go for Tuff golem instead but I also fear how they'd screw up the golems so it's probably better in my opinion left to people who will make mods for it out of love. [usually having more features, more fair, maybe less or just a helpful addon unlike most.]
Man the compilation of old Minecraft UA-camr videos really brought me back, and ever reminded me of a few people I haven't thought is in years. For me, Amylee33, Stampy, and BigBStatz we're who I watched most, and now I think I should check to see where their channels have gone.
OMG AMY LEE AND BIG B!!!!!!
Here's why I think minecraft spin-off games are essential to the main game:
1. Various different ways of playing minecraft. Minecraft is no longer considered a game, but a game series. (according to Jeb)
2. Lore. Personally, I am a huge fan of the lore, and things like disc 5 (which btw combines the lore of Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons) really excite me. I am the kind of person who would play a game only for the lore (that's why I played Minecraft Dungeons and bought the Minecraft Dungeon's novel)
3. Content. Mojang has been known to add content from one game to another. Games like Minecraft Legends, which began development in 2018, were the foundations to updates like the Nether Update. Even the wild update had some foundations to Minecraft Dungeons, since one Dungeon's mob can be heard in Disc 5, before a cut to music.
4. I LIKE THEM WHY DONT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WHY MINECRAFT DUNGEONS HAVE NO UPDATE WHY PEOPLE DONT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THEM THEY LITERALLY ARE THE BEST GAMES EVER... is anyone still reading???
I am still reading.
@@PhoebeLovesCharSiewRice reading what?
@@helenos_152 Your comment, just finished reading
I will always remember waking up on a Saturday morning, going to the kitchen to grab brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts. Then getting on UA-cam to watch The Atlantic Craft Jurassic Craft series. I always loved watching Cody and Joe get into some outlandish situations while trying to deal with dinosaurs in minecraft. That will always be one of the times I loved best about minecraft. maybe I don't watch Atlantic craft as much anymore but I have that jurassic craft playlist saved to my playlists whenever I feel like rewatching.
i love the "i was too scared to play in survival so i played in creative" because me too
I remember watching Minecraft story mode on netflix all the time with my friends and family and it’s so nostalgic, and when I was starting to play Minecraft (2016) I always made creepers explode and then trap other hostile mobs there and thought it woould help🥹🥹🥹
Storymode really put a lot of magic into Minecraft
Minecraft was always timeless it’s so classic every time I play old Minecraft man I just feel so happy
Very well made video. I think it is less of Minecraft getting worse or Minecraft getting better and more of a transfer of style, size, and community from the earlier days to the modern era. As someone who has played Minecraft for the past 12 years, it is a wonderful game that I do love, but most of the content and gameplay options of the modern community aren't really too much to my liking, but that's just how these things happen. Games evolve, alongside their playerbase, and Minecraft is no different.
is minecraft getting worse?
yes, Microsoft keeps sticking it in the pie and refuses to stop, so every update post 1.18 has been getting incrementally worse
Mojang's decision to focus a bit more on updating the already existing features is nice because it keeps the old stuff "afloat" and more up to date, making it more interesting to interact with. I really hope that they'll start adding the rejected mobs from mob vote (although I voted for Sniffer I think Rascal is an interesting mob that I want to see being added to the game in the near future) and actually do something with the already existing inaccessible mobs like illusioner and zombie horse.
How has this only got 1.7K views? Great editing and video. You just earned a subscriber :)
Edit: also i think you should've mentioned the 100 days trend since that has became really popular and created a new genre of minecraft videos
I was actually so sad when I found out the copper golem didn't win the mob vote and I would love for it to appear again.
me as well, I thought the design added to the tech side of MC and help players build with Redstone.
I still don't understand how they make this lackluster updates in the span of a year. Game would be dead without mods
(2:50) The iceologer is NOT in game today, that is the illusioner, and it has been in game for far longer. It was not a part of any mob vote.
Yeah, I realised that after making this, haha. I made sure to put that in the description though.
The 2021 vote was so dumb, because all the mobs there should have been added. Hell, all the mob votes are dumb. It’s basically a way for mojang to put less effort into making new mobs. They think of a lot of different mobs, then only add one and then have a get out of jail free card in the “you guys voted for it” bullshit.
I actually loved Minecraft story mode lol and there was a deluxe edition that I got on PS3
"One day, we'll look back at where we started,
and be amazed by how far we've come."
Watching this video I so surprised to realize It didn’t even have 1000 views. It definitely deserves more. This is really high quality. Keep up the good work👍
At 2:53 that is the illusioner. It is different from the iceologer. It was added in 1.12, and the mobvote with the iceologer was during 1.16 in 2020
I started watching minecraft around 2015 it wasnt until 2016 when i tried it, i was pretty bad but i slowly grew to be average. i always thought of the game showing me how far it has come, but it was showing me how far i came.
My nostalgic Minecraft UA-camr series was Two awesome gamers, Seeing all the ones you included made me feel so old lol
You deserve way more subs because these videos are really well made.
the thing that irritates me about the spin offs is how much more they have, like they have improved biomes, fun new plants and blocks, cool mobs yet when minecraft updates come round i feel like we really dont get much which i would be fine with if it weren't the most sold game in the world, even that id try and ignore if it weren't for the April fools updates, look at the lest one there were so many features added, half slabs, a new "dimension" in the form of the moon! it was buggy yeah but but it was more than playable and added some stuff the community has been asking for for years!
it just feels like when a new update comes out it only takes me an hour or so to lose excitement because i feel like thats it ive done it now, i wish they would do updates less frequently and add more or something, maybe do a golem update and add the tuff and copper golem?
You cant always make everyone happy but sadly its always the bad things among the so many good ones that gets talked about. Think about how many good things that were added instead or think about what we could do to improve ”bad” features.
the mob vote was bad now the java chat report feature is just the final nail in the coffin for a game we once loved but at the end of the day minecraft is still minecraft and it will still hold a special place in our heart and at the core the game is still the same game where we built are first house tamed our first wolf beat up a mob and barley escaped with your life that is the beauty of minecraft never knowing what adventures will come next not knowing if a creeper will creep up on you whether or not knowing if you have enough materials to build your base. I once heard someone say minecraft is not about what you have built it's what you can build.
at this point I'm considering just acting like new updates are mediocre mods and Beta mods like Better Than Adventure are the real vanilla versions of the game
Unironically, notch’s vision for the game was great and ever since his departure it has been steadily downhill from there. Say what you will about the content of his character but the game was much better. Nowadays it seems like they add 1 or 2 good additions but bloat the game with a plethora of other additions. At that point, I would rather add what I want piecemeal like with steam workshop mods
This vid deserves more views
I remember when I bought the 2 seasons of Minecraft Story Mode and I really enjoyed playing them and I couldn't wait what Season 3 could have been but I was like shattered because of Telltale Games completly shutting down
It's crazy how mojang listening to the community is met with backlash and mojang not listening to the community is met with backlash
What is the point
agreed
Because they constanty miss the point of why players want certain features and underdeliver on said features.
Copper is so useless they should atleast let us make armor or tools with it. Even if its complete garbage like alil less useful than iron but more than wood. Itd be kinda cool. still probably never get used but atleast the option would be there
Hey as long as you can get on a new single player world and you can have fun, then the game is still good for you, and yes even if you loose all your stuff in lava.
Feels like Microsoft are too busy trying to franchise the minecraft name.
I love minecraft. I haven’t properly played in many years but I’m sure it’s still a great game but from what I’ve seen, it’s losing its charm. that being it’s simplicity.
I don’t know anything about these shulker chests, flying wings, end castles etc. But I’ve always begged the question of why these needed to be added? Imagination stems from simplicity. Now there’s a block for everything, a mob for everything, an item for everything.
The beauty of minecraft was its simplicity, with that simplicity comes imagination. That is what minecraft is. It’s what it should always be. If you were bored of vanilla then you’d download a mod! Enter: Tekkit. An expansion mod more inspired by real world applications like machines, expanded resources like gems and copper, environments like oil spills etc. why is this fine? Because it’s external. The base game is preserved and it’s core gameplay is uncompromised.
I wish they'd bring back the biome votes way better then mob votes
The end got me. To the point I completely ignored whatever I'm doing.
I can't sleep unless I get this out.
The near ending when he explains everything... it's like, listening to some sort of musical masterpiece. Or some motivational thing that I'd actually give a damn about.
The way he explains it. The way the music kicking in. The way all the emotions come flooding. The memories. It's just like... bliss.
Until the video end and everything goes sad face emoji. I'm just typing random stuff that won't be seen...
The Warden being added is one of my favorite things about Minecraft. Once you get far enough in the game, you get all kinds of powerful weapons and armor that pretty much makes you undefeatable. In a sense, the Warden reintroduces that feeling of vulnerability that you experience similar to when you start a new world and have nothing. You don't know if you turn a corner and you'll die from a Creeper or get pelted by a Skeleton. For the Warden, no matter how prepared you think you are, there's a good chance you won't survive if you encounter it. I like that it isn't a "boss" mob and it's meant to be avoided. It makes going into the caves more fun and exciting! Also, I really miss MC Story Mode as well. I never got to see the second season to it the full way through.
Edit: To add, this is a really good Minecraft video! You did a good job of explaining everything for how it is. It really opened my eyes to how much the franchise has been through and how much has changed. I love all the new updates and content! I got into Minecraft around the end of 1.16 and I don't think I could ever stop playing it.
Yeah, but you have to admit, Skulk Catalyst? It should have much better drops, even if it is useless. (Like the dragon egg.)
@@megadustone I believe Mojang said the only reason for that was to take away the incentive for players to fight it. Unique loot or even a good chunk of XP would make players want to try to take it out. Guess Mojang really didn't want it to be fought lol. Even the XP of the Catalyst was reduced. Me personally, I'm fine with it. (I still believe there is a possibility for a Sculk Dimension, perhaps with its own bosses)
15:32 yeaaa... I myself am a "Survival Builder" and sometimes am a "Creative Builder" type of player. When I play Minecraft, I seek to build in a particular Style of building. FOr instance "Today, I want to build my Travian Roman Village from a year ago". I grind (or cheat) the resources and start re-enacting that style of building.
I remember growing up to minecraft mod reviews
Why do they have a vote if it’s rigged? Hell, just add all three of the mobs. Major updates come out nearly every year, if the advanced programmers at Mojang can’t make 3 mobs and some blocks in 1 year then maybe it’s best minceraft is dying.
I started playing Minecraft during the time when hype was low. I've been playing ever since but didn't know much about many of the MC UA-cam creators. Now i play with my 8 year old and he shows me videos from Thinknoodles and some of the other names mentioned here. I feel like I did Minecraft backwards a bit, but perhaps it's a good thing because I went into the game and community with an unbiased viewpoint. I still think adding lore to the game itself (like trail ruins and the whole concept of archeology itself) feels a bit out of place. I wish they would focus on a) updating what's already in the game and b) adding more useful things like new enchantments. I know we're all excited about swift sneak, but I feel like even the impact of that was softened by nerfing villager trades and making certain enchantments biome specific.
true
2:47 the mob you're talking about is "Illusioner" and it's been in the game since 1.12 (i think) and has NOTHING to do with iceologer
they're different entities and do completely different things
Illusioner summons decoys of himself, blinds the player and uses a bow as it's main weapon and it's in the actual game
11:23 Dude You Made Me Cry, I miss the old days so much
It just doesn’t feel like minecraft anymore. I can’t really explain it, but a lot of these updates feel out of place. Like less is more. I know every game needs updates, but minecraft doesn’t feel like minecraft to me in the way that fortnite doesn’t feel like fortnite anymore.
11:22 were you trying to give me a heart attack, you can’t just surprise me with nostalgia out of the blue
There are too many items in the game that have too few uses. Mods are now pretty much required for the game to be fun
