Everyone does. His way of presenting is so unique and creative, I'm not even sure what it is about it. Maybe it's because of how abstract yet simplistic a lot of the shots are?
11. The same way older games, like the earlier battlefields, have unofficial servers that will keep them alive for as long as some interest exists, Minecraft will always have unofficial support as long as there are people that want to play. With endless mods, plugins, and gamemodes to play with, it'll take years to explore most of what the game offers. Even when most of the player base has moved on to other things, there will always be a small, dedicated community in the game. Minecraft will meet its end slowly and gently, when the playerbase has dwindled to an unsustainable amount. Whenever that is.
@@travcollier People would probably make their own authentication servers at that point. I've seen people bring back games that were absolutely dead in the water with full legacy servers and player authentication. People would lose the stuff on their old accounts yes, but they wouldn't stop playing. They would just make a new account on the legacy server. I don't doubt someone would figure it out.

This makes me so glad that Microsoft got to Mojang before EA did. EDIT 7/3/22: I'd rather have chat moderation than have everything behind a paywall, and I think other people would agree.

I absolutely LOVE the background footage. You put so much thought into it. You design the backgrounds so well and put actual symbolism in the footage. The weeping vine hanging on the gravel block is an amazing analogy for UA-cam and Minecraft relying on each other and the Reveger with the anvils on him represents the weight on Mojang’s shoulders. You’re really clever!
One of the tried “Minecraft killers” was LEGO Worlds. That game is so freaking buggy it hurts so bad. It tried to be good. It tried to be amazing. It failed so bad.

We already have a game that was really really popular and "fell off" - world of warcraft. While blizzard definitely screwed up a lot, the game still manages to carry most of the company on it's back. EDIT: To clarify, i am pointing out that even if Microsoft//Mojang fucks up everything, i doubt they can fall into the void. Like sure they can fall off the (imaginary) throne, but i doubt it will be too far...
Yeah, but wasn't the reason wow kinda died, because they kept making bad updates, and changing the game so much that people returning after a long time had no idea what anything was, and also because they didn't let people play on older versions? Older versions of Minecraft are easily available and Mojang is always careful to ask the community when implementing big changes.
@@luigigaminglp that’s pretty crazy the game can endure so much screwups. I reckon Minecraft is the same way. Nothing comes close to what it offers so until that happens they could screwup every update moving forward and people will still play. Especially since there’s the option to revert to previous updates.
The thing with Minecraft is that it's one of *very* few games that's proven to be truly multi-generational. That's it's strongest asset. It defies trends. The gameplay loop satisfies this deep urge in the human brain. You could go 100 years into the past or the future and kids would still love it. That's why, design wise, I think it'd be really difficult to knock Minecraft off it's stride.
The only thing that could destroy Minecraft is the expansion of the sun into a red giant which, while it doesn't necessarily mean the end of humanity, as we will likely have space travel by then, would evaporate all water on earth and render it inhospitable. If humanity has already colonized other planets by then, it is likely Minecraft will survive even that, and will continue to survive until the inevitable heat death of the universe/freezing over of the universe/total collapse of the universe/imploding of the universe leading to a second big bang that would start the cycle over again and have Minecraft be created again in a different world
Assuming humanity will make it another 30 years much less make a spaceship to travel the many light years it’s take to even find a habitable planet and not kill us in the process of just traveling there

Scenario 4; critical design error, seems to be the most likely right now, with the kerfuffle of "singleplayer banning" and poor moderation of Bedrock now seemingly creeping its way into Java edition despite massive community pushback against the idea. If it ends up as bad as it looks like it will, Minecraft's popularity might drop off severely after 1.19.1 and onwards.

" Some people criticize Minecraft updates for being *shallow* and _unexpansive_ " **Minecraft, literally getting one of it's biggest most game changing updates next summer**
@Blade Gaming If you feel like Minecraft seems to "lag behind" mods in adding features, I think that's because Minecraft takes a very, very cautious approach to it. Minecraft has an enormous and diverse community to satisfy. People have different preferences and hardware limitations. A mod, by virtue of being a third-party, specific mod that people seek out, it's much easier to give users what they want. Mods have no obligation to be compatible or balanced with other mods. Whereas Minecraft updates must be thoroughly debugged, new features must be compatible with old features without making them obsolete and should consider the longevity of the game. It gives a very curated, minimalistic and grounded attitude to features as a whole. Contrast a game like Terraria, a 2D RPG sandbox with more of a "mixing pot," wild attitude towards adding features. Yoyos, a tower-defense-style event (both including collaborations with lesser-known companies), outlandish events with unusually specific inspirations and innumerable references to other media in general.
@Blade Gaming I don't think any cave mod successfully pulled off local water levels, though. Plus, the 1.17 cave biomes are already miles better than any cave biome mod I've seen. The addition of copper also fixes the really big issue of having way too many mods add their own version of copper. Mods have done what 1.17 is doing, but only in small amounts, and now it's going to be available for every player.

‘Minecraft 2’ would eventually destroy ‘Minecraft’, which would no longer get updated in favor of Minecraft 2. Mojang might eventually see Minecraft as outdated, so a completely overhauled version could be made. This doesn’t necessarily end Minecraft, but it does end ‘Minecraft’
@@earlwalton8130 i wouldn’t say that. they’re all incredibly talented and have made amazing games in the past, but they clearly saw that they didn’t need to make games anymore to make a profit, (mostly because of steam) so they stopped. the newest valve game, half life alyx, wasn’t even directly made by them. they literally just don’t bother making games anymore.
Yep, they definitely went with #4. Disrupting the very fundementals of community moderation and multiplayer as a whole. Nice going Mojang, you really played yourselves.
Addressing all these ideas one at a time: 1. Minecraft will stop updating. This is going to happen. 100%. I'm not going to say that it won't ever happen, but I WILL say that this will, in no way, kill the game or the franchise. One of two things will happen: a. Mojang discontinues Minecraft and continues to develop games such as Dungeons or some other thing, all is good and modders continue coddling the game as you said. b. Minecraft will receive a sequel (lmao Minecraft 2) that will run off an engine that ISN'T 10 years old and it will be even better than the original, drawing in even more new players. 2. Minecraft is sold to a greedy company. This is like saying that Nintendo would sell the Mario Bros franchise to Bethesda. Not going to happen. Minecraft is the single biggest video game IN THE WORLD, and even if it loses popularity at some point, Microsoft knows much, much, much better than to sell it to some scummy company for a quick buck. 3. Minecraft is killed by a competitor. Sure, I'll admit that some times that some games have stolen Minecraft's thunder. Fortnite did it, Hytale will ~probably~ do it too, but there's just one thing. While some games may steal it's thunder, Minecraft isn't a bolt of lightning. It's the whole godd*mn storm. It will always come back until all the original developers die of old age. 4. Minecraft will accidentally ruin the game for everyone. Historically Minecraft has had a very open relationship with it's audience and consumers. They chose what mobs and biomes are added, they give full disclosure to exactly what the new updates are going to be, and if they do end up doing something like this, it will never see the light of day when Mojang sees the backlash from the community. Unless Mojang undergoes a complete change in staff and business model, not gonna happen. 5. Outside parties will restrict Minecraft in some way. This could happen, remembering all the stuff that happened with Turkey banning Minecraft and all that, but it won't kill the game. Mojang isn't a small indie indie development company, it's a multi-billion dollar company that is backed by one of the largest companies in the entire world, Microsoft. It will come across hurdles, but it's never going to trip on them. 6. Minecraft charges for updates. Once again, the current company would never do this. I agree with your points on why this wouldn't happen. 7. At some point, a developer had committed IP theft and the owner of the code takes legal action. I doubt this, as a lot of the original code is outdated and has been discarded, and as the company grew larger I am positive that Mojang would have solved any sort of problems that would have arose, before they would ever happen. (If there was ever even a problem). This wouldn't happen in the future either, as Mojang probably has a very good legal team to protect it. 8. Java edition is abandoned. HAHAHAHA, no. This would screw over independently owned servers in sooooo many ways, and a lot of them would shut down. And the points you made about moding and entertainers playing on Java only proves further how bad of an idea it is to stop it's development. Mojang is a smart company and they wouldn't do this. 9. Microsoft restricts their guidelines and claims revenue from creators. This is in general just a really bad business strategy. Even creators that make Minecraft videos for fun rely on add revenue, and if that supply was cut off they would stop making videos and Mojang would lose 100% of their most relatable and enjoyable advertisement for viewers that might want to play the game at some point. 10. The world moves on. Sure, this could happen, nobody can be for certain what the future will hold. But not anytime soon. Yeah, I think that unless Mojang undergoes a total change in their company and business model for the very worse, everything will be fine. Edit: Fuck.
The one thing I would argue about other games taking over is you said the audience has had the chance to pick mobs. True...but false at the same time. Audience is given a short list of mobs they can pick from , and they pick the ones they like the most. When it comes to mobs the audience has been repeatedly been asking for? They've been ignored, on the whole, or claiming it's too difficult to implement...meanwhile modders have no problems implementing said mobs...or anything really that has been asked for. With this said, modders have been working to make their own games while listening to their audience. I dont really know much about Hytale, except it was made by a modder. But I have seen another game Vintage Story, that was also created by a modder that was quite impressive, enough in my opinion to be a worthy rival when fully released. If these modders can do such a good job while actually really listening to the audience, we could see a future rival game taking it out of at least the top spot for the genre.
What about overbloating Minecraft with a ton of updates? I think it could either end up making Minecraft unplayable with more technicalities for existing features like combat, remembering what each and every mob does, and how each and every item works and what can be crafted/smelted/brewed into other items, or making Minecraft so easy, it’s neither funny, nor fun because the whole challenge was removed. Honestly, I think Minecraft’s experiencing a little bit of both, as it is a far more complex game than in the early days, and yet it is much easier than it too.
@@thealientree3821 I've had the exact same thoughts before, and I completely agree. I would hope that Mojang's business model would keep them from having something like this happen since they are so responsive to their community for input, but if they were to stop doing this or be forced to make more updates, I can definitely see how this would really damage the player base and the game's chances of picking up any new players. Minecraft is sitting in a rather precarious position in this regard, shown by how now "bundles" have needed to be added just to counteract the huge amount of different items the game has. Crossing my fingers that it doesn't get too much worse.
8. "Mojang is a smart company and wouldn't do this." *Mojang releases a video saying how players will have to migrate their accounts from Java/Minecraft to Microsoft* Are you sure about that?
When, or if Minecraft dies We have mods with tons and tons of extra content Skyfactory, RLCraft, Crazy Craft, Random Drops, Z Day, and a lot more... Minecraft has a legacy, and it will continue for a longer than we may think Damn, I think Minecraft isn't a game, it's The Game It has so potencial, for all this years, I honestly dont think Minecraft is going down so early Only if a brand new and SUPER DUPER GOOD new game came out and Minecraft started getting boring, but it's hard with such a good community around Minecraft
I like some of the mod in rl craft, but most of it is rng bullshit to make you rage and throw your computer out of the window, like seriously you barely start and you immediately get killed by dragons and faeries, it’s a good concept for a mod pack but noo they had to throw in no 0-0 spawn, no coords, nearly impossible to reach mid game in rl craft and more.
@@funnynameisnotfound8953 I found RL Craft kinda peaceful... I'd sit around enjoying the beautiful environment untill I Die and then enjoy the next beautiful scene (occasionally looking for villages with waypoints along the way to make small steps in progress)
Sarc here’s the problem with the “if Minecraft Java doesn’t update modding will suffer” isn’t 100% true. There are lots of Minecraft mods (and by extension mod packs) that use the 1.12.2 version of game, it hasn’t evolved, yes, but there still are people who play and make mods for that version, yes there are mods for more recent versions (1.14-1.16 specifically that I’m referring to at the time of me writing) but 1.12 has more than enough for someone to enjoy if they felt like it, active or not.
many great 1.12.2 mods show no signs of upgrading and it might not be possible to update them. 1.15.2 appears to be the new 1.12.2 due to problems with 1.16.
Thats actually another scenario I didn't even think of. Unnecessary sequel that no one wanted, thats a bastardized shell of the previous game. Meanwhile the previous game loses official support in favor of the sequel.
3:43 Sadly quite relevant While I don't think that the recent 1.19.1 change is enough to completely obliterate this game, it has already done damage. People want to play a game and not be whined at. It isn't hard to understand.
I can actually imagine it... After the caves update, we get "DLC expansions instead from then on. I don't want to buy DLC like they want you to in The Sims.
People in Minecraft: "Reality can be whatever I want" Mojang in Minecraft: "Minecraft will die whenever we want" Microsoft in Minecraft: "Mojang will exist until we decide otherwise"
If the Minecraft community just buys shares in Microsoft so we have a sizeable proportion of influence. That’s really the way you can tell companies if you like them or not. Invest in them.

before watching, I honestly think that what would kill minecraft would be if Microsoft stopped allowing you to download and play older versions of the game that would kill off probably half if not more of the player base, I'd guess
Yeah it defiently would modding as a whole would be dropped and going back to the good old days wouldn't be a possibility anymore regardless of how clunky it might be or odd in the older versions having that freedom to go back is nice only thing I wish is that the sprint button was added so much earlier god I don't know how I managed with it ;-; was such an annoying feature IMO especially for PVP I remember getting tripped up because of it

11. The same way older games, like the earlier battlefields, have unofficial servers that will keep them alive for as long as some interest exists, Minecraft will always have unofficial support as long as there are people that want to play. With endless mods, plugins, and gamemodes to play with, it'll take years to explore most of what the game offers. Even when most of the player base has moved on to other things, there will always be a small, dedicated community in the game. Minecraft will meet its end slowly and gently, when the playerbase has dwindled to an unsustainable amount. Whenever that is.
there's the real answer
If Mojang/Microsoft requires player authentication and then mess up or just stop running the auth servers, MC is dead pretty instantly.
@@travcollier People would probably make their own authentication servers at that point. I've seen people bring back games that were absolutely dead in the water with full legacy servers and player authentication. People would lose the stuff on their old accounts yes, but they wouldn't stop playing. They would just make a new account on the legacy server. I don't doubt someone would figure it out.

We already have a game that was really really popular and "fell off" - world of warcraft. While blizzard definitely screwed up a lot, the game still manages to carry most of the company on it's back.
EDIT: To clarify, i am pointing out that even if Microsoft//Mojang fucks up everything, i doubt they can fall into the void. Like sure they can fall off the (imaginary) throne, but i doubt it will be too far...
Yeah, but wasn't the reason wow kinda died, because they kept making bad updates, and changing the game so much that people returning after a long time had no idea what anything was, and also because they didn't let people play on older versions? Older versions of Minecraft are easily available and Mojang is always careful to ask the community when implementing big changes.

@@forrestpenrod2294 i mean even the PVP update did not hurt too bad since most pvp servers just didnt change versions
The thing with Minecraft is that it's one of *very* few games that's proven to be truly multi-generational. That's it's strongest asset.
It defies trends. The gameplay loop satisfies this deep urge in the human brain. You could go 100 years into the past or the future and kids would still love it. That's why, design wise, I think it'd be really difficult to knock Minecraft off it's stride.
The only thing that could destroy Minecraft is the expansion of the sun into a red giant which, while it doesn't necessarily mean the end of humanity, as we will likely have space travel by then, would evaporate all water on earth and render it inhospitable. If humanity has already colonized other planets by then, it is likely Minecraft will survive even that, and will continue to survive until the inevitable heat death of the universe/freezing over of the universe/total collapse of the universe/imploding of the universe leading to a second big bang that would start the cycle over again and have Minecraft be created again in a different world
or maybe we master multiverse travel by then idk

@@CornmanC exactly
@Blade Gaming If you feel like Minecraft seems to "lag behind" mods in adding features, I think that's because Minecraft takes a very, very cautious approach to it.
Minecraft has an enormous and diverse community to satisfy. People have different preferences and hardware limitations.
A mod, by virtue of being a third-party, specific mod that people seek out, it's much easier to give users what they want.
Mods have no obligation to be compatible or balanced with other mods.
Whereas Minecraft updates must be thoroughly debugged, new features must be compatible with old features without making them obsolete and should consider the longevity of the game.
It gives a very curated, minimalistic and grounded attitude to features as a whole.
Contrast a game like Terraria, a 2D RPG sandbox with more of a "mixing pot," wild attitude towards adding features. Yoyos, a tower-defense-style event (both including collaborations with lesser-known companies), outlandish events with unusually specific inspirations and innumerable references to other media in general.
@Blade Gaming I don't think any cave mod successfully pulled off local water levels, though. Plus, the 1.17 cave biomes are already miles better than any cave biome mod I've seen. The addition of copper also fixes the really big issue of having way too many mods add their own version of copper. Mods have done what 1.17 is doing, but only in small amounts, and now it's going to be available for every player.

Combine that with the idea of no longer being able to play older versions, and it's the perfect storm of death.
@@ianhemingway9165 sheeeeeeeeeesh
And modpacks.
Addressing all these ideas one at a time:
1. Minecraft will stop updating.
This is going to happen. 100%. I'm not going to say that it won't ever happen, but I WILL say that this will, in no way, kill the game or the franchise. One of two things will happen: a. Mojang discontinues Minecraft and continues to develop games such as Dungeons or some other thing, all is good and modders continue coddling the game as you said. b. Minecraft will receive a sequel (lmao Minecraft 2) that will run off an engine that ISN'T 10 years old and it will be even better than the original, drawing in even more new players.
2. Minecraft is sold to a greedy company.
This is like saying that Nintendo would sell the Mario Bros franchise to Bethesda. Not going to happen. Minecraft is the single biggest video game IN THE WORLD, and even if it loses popularity at some point, Microsoft knows much, much, much better than to sell it to some scummy company for a quick buck.
3. Minecraft is killed by a competitor.
Sure, I'll admit that some times that some games have stolen Minecraft's thunder. Fortnite did it, Hytale will ~probably~ do it too, but there's just one thing. While some games may steal it's thunder, Minecraft isn't a bolt of lightning. It's the whole godd*mn storm. It will always come back until all the original developers die of old age.
4. Minecraft will accidentally ruin the game for everyone.
Historically Minecraft has had a very open relationship with it's audience and consumers. They chose what mobs and biomes are added, they give full disclosure to exactly what the new updates are going to be, and if they do end up doing something like this, it will never see the light of day when Mojang sees the backlash from the community. Unless Mojang undergoes a complete change in staff and business model, not gonna happen.
5. Outside parties will restrict Minecraft in some way.
This could happen, remembering all the stuff that happened with Turkey banning Minecraft and all that, but it won't kill the game. Mojang isn't a small indie indie development company, it's a multi-billion dollar company that is backed by one of the largest companies in the entire world, Microsoft. It will come across hurdles, but it's never going to trip on them.
6. Minecraft charges for updates.
Once again, the current company would never do this. I agree with your points on why this wouldn't happen.
7. At some point, a developer had committed IP theft and the owner of the code takes legal action.
I doubt this, as a lot of the original code is outdated and has been discarded, and as the company grew larger I am positive that Mojang would have solved any sort of problems that would have arose, before they would ever happen. (If there was ever even a problem). This wouldn't happen in the future either, as Mojang probably has a very good legal team to protect it.
8. Java edition is abandoned.
HAHAHAHA, no. This would screw over independently owned servers in sooooo many ways, and a lot of them would shut down. And the points you made about moding and entertainers playing on Java only proves further how bad of an idea it is to stop it's development. Mojang is a smart company and they wouldn't do this.
9. Microsoft restricts their guidelines and claims revenue from creators.
This is in general just a really bad business strategy. Even creators that make Minecraft videos for fun rely on add revenue, and if that supply was cut off they would stop making videos and Mojang would lose 100% of their most relatable and enjoyable advertisement for viewers that might want to play the game at some point.
10. The world moves on.
Sure, this could happen, nobody can be for certain what the future will hold. But not anytime soon.
Yeah, I think that unless Mojang undergoes a total change in their company and business model for the very worse, everything will be fine.
Edit: Fuck.
The one thing I would argue about other games taking over is you said the audience has had the chance to pick mobs. True...but false at the same time. Audience is given a short list of mobs they can pick from , and they pick the ones they like the most. When it comes to mobs the audience has been repeatedly been asking for? They've been ignored, on the whole, or claiming it's too difficult to implement...meanwhile modders have no problems implementing said mobs...or anything really that has been asked for.
With this said, modders have been working to make their own games while listening to their audience. I dont really know much about Hytale, except it was made by a modder. But I have seen another game Vintage Story, that was also created by a modder that was quite impressive, enough in my opinion to be a worthy rival when fully released. If these modders can do such a good job while actually really listening to the audience, we could see a future rival game taking it out of at least the top spot for the genre.
What about overbloating Minecraft with a ton of updates? I think it could either end up making Minecraft unplayable with more technicalities for existing features like combat, remembering what each and every mob does, and how each and every item works and what can be crafted/smelted/brewed into other items, or making Minecraft so easy, it’s neither funny, nor fun because the whole challenge was removed. Honestly, I think Minecraft’s experiencing a little bit of both, as it is a far more complex game than in the early days, and yet it is much easier than it too.
@@thealientree3821 I've had the exact same thoughts before, and I completely agree. I would hope that Mojang's business model would keep them from having something like this happen since they are so responsive to their community for input, but if they were to stop doing this or be forced to make more updates, I can definitely see how this would really damage the player base and the game's chances of picking up any new players.
Minecraft is sitting in a rather precarious position in this regard, shown by how now "bundles" have needed to be added just to counteract the huge amount of different items the game has. Crossing my fingers that it doesn't get too much worse.
Can I just say that I really like your metaphors or whatever? Like you make a lot of good points but your writing game is on point

Only if a brand new and SUPER DUPER GOOD new game came out and Minecraft started getting boring, but it's hard with such a good community around Minecraft
RLcraft is shit grinding and rng with 0 work put in by the packmaker
I like some of the mod in rl craft, but most of it is rng bullshit to make you rage and throw your computer out of the window, like seriously you barely start and you immediately get killed by dragons and faeries, it’s a good concept for a mod pack but noo they had to throw in no 0-0 spawn, no coords, nearly impossible to reach mid game in rl craft and more.
And us bedrock players just have to sit with no updates...
RL craft is meant to make you upset =/
As far as I know
@@funnynameisnotfound8953 I found RL Craft kinda peaceful... I'd sit around enjoying the beautiful environment untill I Die and then enjoy the next beautiful scene (occasionally looking for villages with waypoints along the way to make small steps in progress)
With the 1.19.1 update I think that might kill minecraft
and the new eula.
Sarc: what can destroy minecraft?
Me, an intellectual: Gun Update
Flintlock pistols wouldn't be a bad addition to Minecraft, tho...
@PolySaken yea I agree
Sorry, i didn't see your comment there
@@augustovasconcellos7173 why am I suddenly thinking of undead pirates
@PolySaken like butlers and maids I was reading the reviews and people want butlers and maids but it just feels game breaking...
Sarc here’s the problem with the “if Minecraft Java doesn’t update modding will suffer” isn’t 100% true. There are lots of Minecraft mods (and by extension mod packs) that use the 1.12.2 version of game, it hasn’t evolved, yes, but there still are people who play and make mods for that version, yes there are mods for more recent versions (1.14-1.16 specifically that I’m referring to at the time of me writing) but 1.12 has more than enough for someone to enjoy if they felt like it, active or not.
also people can literally just mod the updates into java if that happens
and theres millions of mods for 1.7 as well. though to be fair, 20% of them are just emerald gear mods
many great 1.12.2 mods show no signs of upgrading and it might not be possible to update them. 1.15.2 appears to be the new 1.12.2 due to problems with 1.16.
I've been stuck in 1.12 specifically because of mods.
I still haven't played any modpacks that are not on 1.12. I only use performance 1.16 mods. I would miss my Mekanism.
The only thing that can stop Minecraft....
MINECRAFT 2
Did you know there is a canceled minecraft sequel
even then, it still probably wont lol
Wasn’t Hypixel working on a game that was similar to MC
Imagine one day, after we received the latest update called Minecraft 1.99.9, Minecraft announces Minecraft 2.0.0
Thats actually another scenario I didn't even think of.
Unnecessary sequel that no one wanted, thats a bastardized shell of the previous game. Meanwhile the previous game loses official support in favor of the sequel.
3:43 Sadly quite relevant
While I don't think that the recent 1.19.1 change is enough to completely obliterate this game, it has already done damage.
People want to play a game and not be whined at. It isn't hard to understand.

Minecraft, Minecraft can destroy Minecraft
I just wanna say your videos are so aesthetically pleasing it's insane, and your voice is so relaxing (no homo) I respect the grind G!
I can actually imagine it... After the caves update, we get "DLC expansions instead from then on. I don't want to buy DLC like they want you to in The Sims.
ofc that wouldn't happen
People in Minecraft: "Reality can be whatever I want"
Mojang in Minecraft: "Minecraft will die whenever we want"
Microsoft in Minecraft: "Mojang will exist until we decide otherwise"
@niosonwii shut up
@niosonwii It's a bunch or rickrolls isnt it?
@niosonwii stfu
If the Minecraft community just buys shares in Microsoft so we have a sizeable proportion of influence. That’s really the way you can tell companies if you like them or not. Invest in them.
@niosonwii I won't
Yes, I wonder, what could destroy minecraft? A great question to be asked
"what could destroy minecraft?"
Trash can on your desktop.
that is just the destop icon you destroy, you would need to make a giant emp that wipes all digital devides and strorages of minecraft, destroying the game, only leaving the idea...

joke /jōk/:

ex: "she was in a mood to tell jokes"
verb "make jokes; talk humorously or flippantly."

Fortnite tried to kill Minecraft, but Minecraft had a Totem.
Lol so true
@Black_Rhino 241 never played fortnite
no its in creative
It kicked Fortnite into the endless void of pain and bunch of 7 year olds
Who said that
me: finds the paper that says how to beat minecraft
me: it's empty
before watching, I honestly think that what would kill minecraft would be if Microsoft stopped allowing you to download and play older versions of the game
that would kill off probably half if not more of the player base, I'd guess
Tlauncher go brrrr
Yeah it defiently would modding as a whole would be dropped and going back to the good old days wouldn't be a possibility anymore regardless of how clunky it might be or odd in the older versions having that freedom to go back is nice only thing I wish is that the sprint button was added so much earlier god I don't know how I managed with it ;-; was such an annoying feature IMO especially for PVP I remember getting tripped up because of it
