      Same, i was on a friend's server and played that a ton. Full maxed netherite, a base made of Blackstone brick with piston doors built into the side of a mountain, it was awesome. Made a minecart track that went across the mountain ridge.
      But people stopped playing on it. So the owner deleted the server after a while. I lost everything, no chance for a world download. That's the last time I let someone else host a server I play on :)
      Now I have a server for me and one friend. We don't talk anymore but I don't have the heart to delete the world. It's cozy walking around it. Maybe I'll take a world download or something before I delete it idk. I told him and he's fine with me deleting it

      @@MisogynyMan I'm the one hosting the Server for my friendgroup and everyone stopped playing in 2021. I check in on the server every few months to see if anyone logged on or if the server is even there anymore. A few months ago something happened, the server was gone and our backups corrupted (had something to do with updates etc.)
      I probably spent 4 hours trying to fix the server by downloading different applications trying to untangle the world from the corrupted backups from the server host and I ended up having to seperate files inside the world, trying to fix them on seperate worlds and eventually managed to save the server. We have a discord server for our minecraft world and I sent another update that the "server was working again" nobody acknowledged it, but I was happy to be able to join the server again.
      It sounds kinda stupid that I'm trying to paint myself in a good picture here but you just made me a bit proud about myself that I tried to save the server (and even saved it!) even though nobody seemed to care about it anymore.

      I have the first world me and a friend made when the game first started, when you could play on a browser. We didn't know how to make a multiplayer server so we took turns building things and emailed eachother the map back and forth, so I could come home back from school and check my email to find the map with something new built into it. The best thing there was a fucked up eiffel tower my friend made, I still send him a pic of it from time to time just to laugh.

It doesn’t need to have Terraria levels of content, but why do I have to download a mod to make some copper piping for plumbing? Yenno what I mean?

      one of my favorite ways to play is to beat the ender dragon first. Like don't build up a base, just be careful as shit and get what you need. It can be done in a few hours. Once the dragon is defeated, then start building your base. It's wayy different with end game items. Tons of fun. Then you can focus on exploring the overworld and shit

      Maybe you've been trying to intentionally increase the amount of time you spend in that world without "beating the game" and getting to the point where you still have a few things to do, but they're too trivial to really get back to the world. I'm trying to increase my playtime in Fallout as much as I can as well. I don't do the main quests too often, but I just go on adventures. It's like sipping on wine.

    10:00 This is actually one of the issues that i have with current City Builders. In city builders, it's just as if not easier to demolish buildings as it is to build them. This means that unless you're lazy (which is at least one counter to my argument here), none of your earlier mistakes or buildings placed when you were learning the ropes stay till the late game. As a result, everyone's city will probably look like an optomized factory lacking any character development. In a city building game, the city is the main character, but the city usually has the exact same story as every other city in every other city builder.

    They destroyed my projects, laughing the whole time.
    One friend took me into their base, but when they turned their bullying on him, he too started turning a blind eye to their "hijinks".
    ... it was these moments of quiet reflection that made me realize I wasn't ever going to be at peace with those people. And so I stopped.

    Man this hits hard. I still remember the first time I played Minecraft back in one of the Alphas. I bought the game but it was a laggy mess. I somehow convinced my dad to take my to Office Depot to get some RAM thinking it would help and luckily it did!
    I made this really cool house that opened up to the top of a cave with an opening on both sides that let the natural light in. On the bottom was a lake. I thought what I had found was so cool and spent some time just jumping off the balcony I made into the lake below. Eventually I decided to explore, but got lost and was never able to find my house again. I was sad about that, but the journey it led me on was so full of wonder and excitement. There's something about playing a new game and having no idea about whats actually possible. Everything is new and surprising.
    I still think about that first house sometimes but I also know the subsequent journey I had that I look back on just as fondly probably wouldn't have happened had I not lost it. I'd have stayed near and that area would have been where I stayed. With my house gone I didn't just want to make a new one that wouldn't be as good. So off I went.

  • @this.is.spencer
    @this.is.spencer 2 години тому +3

    I think the growing boredom as a minecraft playthrough progresses is the collapsing of possibilities. What we can imagine is often more exciting than what is. As you explore the world, the answer to the question "what is out there?" goes from "could be anything" to "it is this". The better you can answer the question, the less there is to imagine. "What am I going to build here?" also shrinks once you start putting blocks down. And while you can always start a new project, it'll be within a space that is now defined by concrete dimensions, increasingly bounded.

    I’ve had a survival server with friends for 12 years now, and let me tell you, travelling 18km through the wilderness visit someone’s decade-old abandoned castle is a feeling I don’t think many people get to have.
    There are unfinished bases built by people who only logged on once. There are strange underground rooms with machines that don’t quite work anymore. You can see some members’ styles get better and more refined over the years.
    Kinda like 2B2T but almost all of the old stuff is in perfect condition, as if frozen in time.

      Minecraft is often a strange microcosm like that, places long forgotten, touched once by a people you knew, but left to age, I think what sells it is often divining why it was abandoned or lost in the face of its preservation
      Sometimes its just a cramped little hut where you can tell they expanded or it was temporary, sometimes you see only the frame left intact, as they pulled everything up to move, occasionally you can tell it was lost for other reasons, a house with a furnace that only just finished cooking that lacks a bed, or conspicuous explosion craters in floors and walls that tell a story of a Creeper or someone getting wild with TNT and the subsequent decision to just not try to recover there
      And of course, the distortions in reality that are birthed as new ground was struck in different versions, the places where one world gen ended and another started

      And it was meant to, the muse had taken him when he wrote that, btw its free to use and he has an article on some blog somewhere about it, short version is that Markus never actually hashed out a contract about it, it was always on "We'll sort that out later", and then MS got Minecraft and he would rather not deal with the legal matter of them realizing their product has something they don't own nor license, so he made it public domain

    I host a Minecraft server for friends during the holiday months every year and it’s so true, every block placed tells a story, and if you ever go back to the worlds it’s like opening a photo album. So special and even with friends that are no longer with us you can see how they touched the world, they were there too and the world remembers

    The main problem for me after the early game is the inventory. It was fine in Beta but there's so many different blocks and items that it's just not manageable anymore. They should make it so I don't have to plop down my ender chest and shulker boxes, I should be able to access them directly. Things stacking up to only 64 is outdated. I made a datapack that makes raw materials automatically craft into blocks, so that's one thing I fixed myself, although I still have to update it to the latest version. I'm not bored of the game, but I find that more and more of it is just faff and management when I'd rather be playing the game proper. It's a fixable problem.

    Every winter, in this short little timeless window between Christmas and New Years Eve, my friends and I start up a new minecraft world and play it until we are bored or have other priorities in life. Sometimes it was just a few short weeks, this year we played for almost 3 months. Insane, what one can do and build with a small group of dedicated people. A few months back, two of us found the folder with some of these old worlds from the last years and just checking out the builds was such a nostalgic experience.
    I´ve played no game more than I have played Minecraft, and it´s not for the big builds and massive achievements. But for the little things, the relaxing messing around, the short panic attacks when you mess up and the laughs we share about them. The places and builds are just the reminder of these moments behind them.

    Stepping into that new world that nobody else has ever seen is so mesmerizing! It’s very similar to a topic discussed on this channel before on Eggbusters, when you break the game and get to places you’re not supposed to be, looking at those details that nobody else has seen or even considered, wether it be tree walls or sky boxes, it’s the feeling of doing something in a game everyone has played, that nobody really would consider, When you load into a new world, seeing whatever it is the game generated, you’re seeing something that you can say with full confidence, that you are the only, THE ONLY, one who has seen this… and you can share those memories, by sharing the seed, by making the videos, that’s the beauty that only few games can say they’ve accomplished.

    Hit the nail on the head, dude.
    I remember the first time I played Minecraft. About 16 years ago. Sitting in a friend's house at his birthday party. We stayed awake all night and figured out how to build anything we could, not smart enough to look up any recipes.
    Minecraft really is about the random experiences you make with people, not the game itself.

    I've played Minecraft so much with so many groups over the years. I remember going through a mental breakdown and being awake at 2am, killing wither skeletons en mass and listening to my friend tell me she's pregnant. I remember the thousands of hours of podcasts I've gotten through draining ocean monuments. The moments of stupidity, the laughs, the tears... Minecraft is something that can never be replaced.

    My oldest Minecraft world still around, is 12 years old. I made it when tripwires were added and called it redstone tests. I've been using it regularly to try out redstone stuff and build pixel arts and now it's like a massive museum of stuff I came up with. There's also several models of buildings that I made on some servers that no longer exist. This is all that's left of them. It's surreal, that this world on my computer is older than a lot of Minecraft players today.

    Genuinely beautiful reflection on the game that has meant the most to me over the course of my life. Every year or so I still go back to some old worlds from middle and high school and just fly around and see those moments in time completely frozen. It’s somewhat melancholic but it’s also a beautiful time capsule of some of my favorite and most meaningful friendships and experiences. You really captured the essence of why this game means so much and why it endures

    The mention of preset plots reminded me of some fun things, like how people deliberately limit themselves to building on preset plots on the many servers with that kind of system. Or the myriad of one chunk build challenges. Or even something like Skyblock.
    Some get overwhelmed by the infinite and NEED those kinds of boundaries to truly allow their creativity to flourish. I really admire people who can plan intricate builds beyond view distance, but also the ones who can build something beautiful with clear intent in a tiny, confined space.
    I really wish I could revisit some of those first worlds I had back between 2010-2015, but they're long lost.

    I've played minecraft with my siblings since we were teens. I'm pushing 30 and still make time to game with my grown ass adult siblings. We do Minecraft or Valheim or other "make and settle" games because they like fighting games, and I like making post-modern houses... :) I'm the oldest sibling and I told them "Hey... I think like once a week, we should listen to the playlist spotify made of all of our songs..." because we all live in different cities and states and while I'm very independent, I feel more responsible for them now than I did when I was younger... That's the feeling I get opening up a Minecraft build from 2019... Seeing my brother's working redstone computers and my lakeside houses and my sibs giant mansions and I remember being... at peace.

    I still play Minecraft sporadically (as in playing it maniacally for two weeks and suddenly stop for several months) on the very first world I created back in 2011.
    Back then I have been playing hours of the demo version which was always the same world on a time limit, so when I finally decided to just spend the 20 bucks or so on the full version, a world with some floating little dirt patch in a swamp felt like absolute magic to me, lol.
    MC became kind of my escape at a time when I felt like my life was going nowhere, being 20, jobless with no aspirations in life.
    Sometimes I go back to my precious floating dirt hut swamp and look at all the nostalgic senseless "I need to shut my brain off for six hours" projects while my daughter's taking her afternoon nap.

    Spot on man. Lots of special memories, and tbh lots of very hazey moments where I wonder, "is this the part that was some makeshift cave tunnel before but now it's all customized and touched up, is this where we were struggling with that confusing labyrinth? Or was that in another - previous - world, or somewhere else?"
