LETS MAKE MINECRAFT GREAT AGAIN! ^^^
Oh yeah, and here's my twitter. / dundeeyt_
Today, I explore the many flaws that have stagnated and slowly caused minecraft's decline. I look at minecraft updates ruining the game such as the 1.19.1 chat reporting minecraft update, the minecraft mob vote and how people want to stop the mob vote and how mob votes are ruining minecraft. But before all of that, we have to go back to where it all started in old minecraft 1.7.3, the minecraft nostalgia. The rise and fall of minecraft, the resurgence of minecraft with popular minecraft youtubers such as Dream minecraft, pewdiepie let's play, minecraft monday. Mojang killing Minecraft.

Love your videos!💚
start by getting your teeth checked
Hi sundee
You know what? I'll not subscribe to this channel. this video is click bait. Minecraft is the same as it ever was since its inception. You think it's getting worse but it isn't. The players are what is getting worse. If you don't like the new version of minecraft, play the old version. No need to get bothered about "what you don't want to be in the game" if you play the old version. So many twitter crybabies complaining that minecraft isn't what it used to be when what they should be looking at is themselves. The players change. The players are becoming toxic. And they are taking out all of their issues on others. What they need to do is shut up, get off the computer and touch grass.
@@ellipsis4549 I AIN'T READING ALLAT 💀💀💀
one of the major problems is that, they keep adding filler content
definately man, I feel like they do it just as an excuse to get a bit of people to play the game again.
I think the reason for this is most of Mojangs dev effort is towards making side games like minecraft legends and minecraft dungeons, and the rest is hampered by microsoft.
Just like UA-camr
@@lupexium3308source? That doesn't make to much sense
@@lupexium3308different dev teams tho
I just play modpacks, they have quests for hundreds of hours, thousands of new items, 100+ mobs, bosses, tech, more dimensions etc.
probably the best solution to a lack of content.
my only issue with mods is the progression is usually bad
@@friesneverdies GTNH gtnh ₕₜₙₕ ....
Terraria
@@randomuser.5356 It isn't Minecraft.
one of the problems is that it doesnt feel like an indie game anymore. they dont make any crazy ideas anymore. it doesnt feel like they're making changes or real updates to the game and rather just content updates like most triple a games. it just feels corporate and it doesnt really feel special anymore. like maybe one new wood type a year? notch wouldve came up with so many ideas already. and it doesnt feel simple anymore. mobs that notch had came up with had few animations. the zombie only had walk and hit for example. it feels like minecraft is lacking variety. if notch was still working on the game, maybe we would've gotten more zombie variants, more creeper variants, stuff like that. and every update is themed. they just gotta tell themselves "hey this idea seems cool lets add it" and not "uh so the theme is gonna be about uh an ancient city what would fit the ancient city. we need to add another theme tho or else its gonna be boring" every year, waiting for a new announcement for a new update is just boring.
everything theyve added is filler recently
The updates aren t all bad Like the anchinet city one is Great but the problem is it Takes a hole dam year to come and Also we have these stupid mob votes that shoudent exist in the first place add all the mobs from the mob vote there all Great,Don t get me wrong i Like Minecraft but i m not gonna play it dayly for one single update to come out in a year,the only reson why i play Minecraft is cuz of 100 hardcore Moded or Challenge videos and thats it no survival or creative since it kinda feels Like meh while playing them
Something I disagree with was the thing about the updates shouldn’t have a theme. 1.16 1.14 and 1.13 were all really good updates because they focused an actual theme. 1.17/1.18 was the cave update and while they certainly fit the theme those updates failed because features were delayed and the update was split in 2 (kinda 3) parts. Then 1.19 the wild update had a pretty vague theme and didn’t really do anything with it and it was more of a finish the leftovers from caves and cliffs. And the newest update 1.20’s theme wasn’t really it was really vague and was kinda all over they sorta just worked on whatever they wanted and it just doesn’t feel all to together the features just didn’t feel linked like it was the same update.
and they didn't add stone chests. The pain!
I feel like the minecraft team DOES have a bunch of ideas for the game, but microsoft definitely knows they caught lighting in a bottle with minecraft, and so they likely limit updates to drag out the life of the game almost indefinitely
its kind of a shame, and whats even more sad is to see them trying to keep it super realistic, but it needs more fantasy, and needs to go deeper into the fantasy aspect , its cool how mods do so much but at the same time the base vanilla cant even hold up to mods
Is it me or does everyone have a phase to play minecraft for 2-3 weeks relligiously then quit
nah bro, everyone that play's minecraft is like that.
@@DundeeYT except camman18 he needs to make a Minecraft short every day because it’s his job.
Nah, it's like 1-3 days then we won't play til' a month or two later. The game really sucks now :(
I wish they could take notes from people that make mods. People that make mods add more content then Microsoft itself
I really Like Minecraft mods espacually the ones with dwellers in it
To be fair the least underwhelming parts of the recent updates are things modders added eight years ago
#1, mods are a lot easier to make than actually adding content to the game.
#2, microsoft only does the selling of the game, mojang has full control of what they can do
don't even try to pretend you know about the effort required to develop these, mojang are trying their best without overworking their employees.
@@supaso1dernot really, have made mods before, I could probably make the entire 1.20 update in a month
@@supaso1der Mojang is a multibillion dollar company that entirely hinges on ONE game while also being owned by one of the biggest tech titans in the world. I have a hard time believing they can't outperform mods
"mojang are trying their best" It ain't showing
They need to stop trying to make it realistic and making features worse
Exactly
A wind mob that drops a rod that can be crafted into a ball of air and a weapon that allows you to fall from space to earth without getting hurt as long you hit someone. Totally realistic.
@@lucasmatthiessen1570 I mean examples like the fireflies, but they are getting at not
@@lucasmatthiessen1570 and too op in my opinion
A personal theory i have is that mojang might have taken the whole "We care about our employees mental health and having a diverse and accepting environment" thing too far. And what i mean by that is they spend most of their day chilling on beanbags talking with each other and playing around on the game and what not. Instead of actually putting work into the game. They may just not have a proper work ethic within the company.
I heard the panda dev said something like that
HHAHAHAHHAHA welcome to Millenial central
This is 100% like that video called "literally every minecraft is dying video" i think
This video likes to point fingers at particular things that were in reality just part of much larger trends. It's annoying
People say "Minecraft is dying" but I genuinely don't see it... YES people are dissatisfied with the newer updates, YES some people don't enjoy playing it very much anymore... But NO, it's not dying. I feel like the _only_ reason people keep saying this is because everyone keeps saying it.
I still play Minecraft pretty much daily. I still discuss Minecraft, talk about Minecraft, and see Minecraft videos every single day! There's thousands of people who still play the game frequently and talk about it online. Minecraft _isn't_ dead or dying, a large percentage of more casual fans don't give a crap about the game's online discourse, and _like_ the newer updates still, even if they aren't as impressive as people would like them to be.
Hermitcraft is still going strong, and it consists of a lot of popular Minecraft UA-camrs. There are Minecraft channels all over that still post frequently and get a lot of attention. Minecraft is the single most sold game in the world, you really think its that easy for it to die out? People have been saying crap like this for literal _years._
dude, you're literally just inhaling liters of copium.
Not to mention how most criticism of the game is bad faith. Keyword: most.
I wouldn't be surprised if it stays dry for a few years and then comes back into the mainstream and ends up beiong rlly popular for a year like it did last time all it'd take would be a few content creators coming up with new ideas
I feel like after 1.21 Mojang will probably release something huge because everything in caves and cliffs would be added and they would have more time to do things. I know 1.21 doesn't have anything from caves and cliffs but I'm hopeful.
@@cat_in_a_fish_bowl tbh with the 1.21 additions im.looking forward to it
even as someone who voted for the armadillo (I wanted another mob specified for warmer biomes) I can even say all the public polls I saw had the crab winning by at least 20-30%
every year is the same and people keep playing it
honestly I play for pvp on multiplayer servers, not vanilla anymore. I think the game ha grown byond just vanilla.
stopped playing vanilla 3 years ago now only modpacks lot of quests more to explore
They're the equivelant of CoD fans, they think it'll be better someday.
@@WorriedTheif Or maybe they just enjoy the game
I agree with the person above me
I always liked Minecraft, been playing it for years despite it not feeling like it..
But these days... It only feels fun with a good friend/friend group. Because when im playing solo if no-one is on, it does feel boring QUICKLY
100% played solo for most of the years playing it, its just so refreshing hopping on the game with some friends.
ironically i feel less bored playing older versions
@@toniotrussardi8126Especially beta 1.7.3 (and I have no nostalgia from that version because I started playing in 2016 on Wii U)
Fireflies and frogs had NOTHING to do with Caves and Cliffs... I genuinely have no idea how you got that mixed up! They announced the Warden and Deep Dark and Archaeology for Caves and Cliffs, but the Fireflies and Frogs were NEVER involved with that update. They were part of the _Wild Update_ which was entirely separate aside from carrying over the Deep Dark stuff.
stop yapping and accept this guys wisdom
"The Wild Update" was practically just Caves and Cliffs part three.
@@awesomecat So? Doesn't change the fact that Fireflies and Frogs were NOT announced for the Caves and Cliffs update, and weren't delayed like they make it sound in the video.
The only reason they even bothered adding the mangrove swamp was to compensate for a lack of content. That would probably explain why the entire update's theme was pretty nonsensical
@@EmperorPenguin1217 Source: "Trust me bro."
I feel like they did all that work to improve terrain generation just for it to be a whole bunch of empty space while exploring. It's hard to have fun while relying on a small chance to get interesting terrain generation.
That and they went WAY too far with it, you can't go very far without seeing needlessly massive mountains and giant unsightly cracks in the ground everywhere
The worst part of the latest mob vote in my opinion has to be how they literally implemented both of the other mobs features as gamerules for servers in the new snapshot. They could have put them in, yet they decided that destruction was better than creation.
No way, a nine hour video essay on why minecraft is dying!
I think the issue is threefold:
1) They're far too corporate and development is no longer a collaboration between the devs and the community like how it used to be
2) They set up updates on a yearly schedule. They should only update when they have something worthwhile to add. When there's a schedule to add things, you will inevitably end up with updates that just have random crap thrown in because they had to have SOMETHING
3) Devs are afraid to innovate. Most of the past several updates have only added things that did not fundamentally shift the way people play the game. New biomes, enchantments, plants, etc do not offer anything past a couple days worth of content. This is especially bad for people playing on old worlds where the new features won't be integrated into the early and mid game growth of a world.
The game will probably just stay dry for a few more years until it skyrockets back into being rlly popular again just like it did last time i doubt it'll truly die
Don't Mind Me, Just Vibing In Modded Minecraft Where I Can Have Whatever Update I Like
15 mins+ Dundee video. Very poggers
one of the main things that kept the game alive is modding however in minecrafts TOS to this day still prevents modders from making money despite plugin/client devs being allowed to profit. no idea why mojang hates modding despite helping keeping the game alive
Preventing mods from being paid is a good thing. Have you seen the other modding scenes where paid stuff is the norm, such as the Sims, or even bedrock? They're all infested with low-effort garbage thrown out there to make a quick buck.
This supposed "downfall" is in everyone's heads. What we consider to be great is entirely relative to ourselves and is constantly changing with time. Minecraft isn't getting worse, we're only realizing the issues it already had. That combined with the constant negativity on the internet subconsciously affects how we view the game. Recall why people loved Minecraft in 2019. The same issues we had with it before were still present, so what changed? It was the nostalgia. Then we kept playing. Now, the exact same thing that happened in 2016, before that, 2011, is happening again and now. Negativity, boredom, disappointment, hatred towards Mojang, all of it. It's a cycle. We let negativity get in the way of our enjoyment and it leads us to believe the game is getting worse. And if you're bored with the game, maybe play something else and come back to it a long while later. Minecraft requires your creativity, and creativity can only build up with time.
If you want my honest opinion, Minecraft is indeed a very flawed game, down to its roots. I'm talking since its inception, it's been a flawed game. I don't need to get down to the details of that, but I will say, I believe Minecraft can and will get better. Minecraft has all the resources and time to become the best version of itself and all we need to do is stick with it. We might not agree with its changes, but it's counterproductive to complain about it. Not to say feedback isn't good, but feedback is very different from complaining. Besides, you are 100% free to play an older version of the game, download infinite mods, and essentially play the game however you choose. Nothing's stopping you.
Minecraft is fun, Minecraft is infinite. Minecraft is infinite fun. A game that's fun. Isn't that where it all started?

One of the most underrated youtubers! This video is very well edited and is very easy to follow. Nice job bro!
This was very well edited, and everything was explained well. Good job!!
ty man. First documentary I ever attempted.
The video was great! Just one small correction I wanted to make:
You say that "most" people didn't even want the mob vote to happen, citing the 500k signatures as evidence. Though it's true that this seems like a large number, Minecraft's player base is the largest in the world, consisting of *millions*. Despite the percentage being large, it was only a portion of Minecraft's player base that wanted the mob vote to be cancelled.
❌
Remember not all players interact. most don't, if all players knew the community situation the number would be higher. it is not a mistake
@@vladivascanu108 That's like saying "most undecided voters in America would be democrats". You can't make up a number because something *might* be the case; if they are undecided or non-vocal, they can't count towards either demographic, and only count towards a total.
@@PalmDEV Exactly. it might be the case, you cannot say it is a mistake because we don't know.
@@vladivascanu108 No, you're still missing something. If I have a room of 100 people, and I know that 10 people like vanilla icecream, while 15 like chocolate, I can't say that "most people here like chocolate icecream", because the majority is the 75 people that I don't know anything about.
nah, you yappin'
While all of this is happening, i heard the small community of beta players are thriving
I've went to the 2011 minecon and got my cape and when I look at Minecraft today it is really baffling how Microsoft can take Mojang and just take it hostage. Mojang has so many talented developers yet the only thing that is holding them back is Microsoft. Do not get me wrong it is cool what we've got nowadays with the updates and with the big generation change and cave update but the problem for me is just the game doesn't have that feel anymore. It feels.. CORPORATE. It feels as if Mojang is being sucked dry and its sad.
Exactly. People always blame mojang when in reality the main enemy is Microsoft. Microsoft is the one pissing on Minecraft, Mojang is their puppet.
@@FierceLord Mojang isn't innocent tho
to me, the thing that finally made me uninstall was how, rather than overhauling the weakest parts of the game like updates USED to do, modern updates seem dead set on adding dumb gimmick blocks and mobs. Like, what was even the point of adding bronze, or the armadillo, or even Netherite? The Nether Update and the Aquatic update both overhauled lacking biomes and made them so much more fun to explore.
*Adds literally nothing in an update
*People get mad

Petition to add the Aether into vanilla Minecraft
i played beta 1.7.3 for like 1 month and it has no content at all(i stopped playing because my world got deleted idk how, probably betacraft problem), then theres 1.20, i played for 1 week, and all i did was built a house, got maxed out armor out armor in like 1 day, and killed the ender dragon and quit, its not like the new updates are bad, they just make the game so easy that it makes it boring and unchallenging.
Mojang: Fireflies are poisonous to frogs, we can't add that to our game!
Also Mojang: Quick, hide the cookies from the parrots...
I don't know how Mojang did it but they actually turned the armadillo debacle around imo. The wolf armor actually looks really effing good, it literally makes the wolf invincible until it breaks, and a large group of armored wolves can take down a warden.
I would've loved to have a higher reach tho.
As I stumbled upon this video criticizing Minecraft, I didn't anticipate the emotional rollercoaster it would put me through. You see, Minecraft isn't just a game; it's a world where I've poured countless hours, forged friendships, and explored my creativity. But as the video dissected its flaws, it felt like an attack on my sanctuary. Suddenly, doubts crept in, questioning the value of my time spent in this virtual realm. It's like unraveling a cherished memory, leaving me adrift in uncertainty. This critique wasn't just about a game; it shook the foundation of my identity, leaving me questioning who I am without Minecraft.
While i do disagree in some parts here (the recent 1.21 update is very cool) i do agree they need to fix their reputation even if i do think they don't need to do that, and i think the whole "Minecraft isn't what it used to be" argument is kinda.. Dumb.. its just the nostalgia kicking in, Minecraft didn't change, YOU changed
And i 100% disagree that Minecraft will NEVER die, its just too Popular for it to just die one day
There is a reason why the game is the sold of all time

I have to say that what they're doing for 1.21 seems quite interesting so far, I was really skeptical about it at first, but now they've made quite a few interesting changes and added some cool challenges and even a new weapon, let's hope they don't mess it up in the end.
Microsoft does the same thing to their games that a certain man did to kids on his island
The armadillo is actually really nice.
From what I heard, Mojang devs really struggle with Microsoft being over their head. Every new feature needs a ton of work to get green lighted. Notch didn't have this problem, because iirc he was only working with a few people at most. Still, for the biggest game on the planet, it shouldn't have this mediocre updates.
I have to say, the newest Minecraft update 1.21 seems sorta promising. They kinda improved the dog armor and now it feels kinda useful, the new chamber seems promising.
Wolf armor isn't even a 1.21 feature for some reason
@@EmperorPenguin1217 Imagine what they will add to 1.21 once they start working on 1.22 xD
the moment microsoft bought the game it didnt end well

unless they remove all kinds of community votes like mob and biome votes it can only go downhill

okay but how are we gonna make it great again? what does that mean
Mojang could have put the fireflies in a different biome than the frog and make them give the frog the lethal poison effect
I can relate to this title (i chew sugarfree gum)

For the hundredth time: IF A SERVER NEEDS TO EXPLOIT ITS PLAYERS TO STAY UP THEY SHOULDNT STAY UP! Micro-transactions, pay-to-win mechanics, gambling, weaponising the human emotion of FOMO, especially when most of your paying customers are CHILDREN should have NEVER been allowed.
The bootlickers who sided with the predatory monetisation models that servers were abusing were shooting themselves in the foot. If a company needs to hurt people to stay in operation, then what good is it staying in operation?
You're absolutely clueless. That's not how things work.
tech debt
This basically sums it up. This is like a psa to fix Minecraft and I love it
bro is actully making this a trend
2:29 Microsoft would have to disagree with that.
This is why I usually prefer Terraria over Minecraft because terraria isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty and bomb the game with content.
Amazing vid underrated asf and let’s Make Minecraft great again
I do hear your point but i do think it is important to mention that whether somebody finds the game fun is subjective. New features no matter if they get delayed or are not what we thought are still new features and can be used for anyone's enjoyment.
Maybe if Mojang just listens to the community more effectively than this wouldn't be much of an issue.
My main problem about minecraft is that every update they release into the game makes the game feel evermore lifeless. Before Notch sold the right of the game to microsoft the game felt alive and every update had its charms. Yes a lot of updates of Modern Minecraft were good but they don’t feel like the indie game used to. Simple, but with variety. And don’t forget the divided community because of 2 different versions of the game. That also majorly impacts the time it takes to craft new content for the game.
make minecraft great again and also sub ig guys haha
I still side with Mojang on the monetization controversy as I simply despise microstransactions but then again minecraft got sold to MICROsoft which now pollutes the ENTIRE GAME with microtransactions. I also still think the combat update was fantastic and made the combat a lot more engaging.

I have been playing minecraft for years by now but for the past 2-3 years I dont play vanilla minecraft and only play with mods.Though I wish minecraft was like it had been before. Am I alone?
well, the Armadillo was more popular in non english speaking countries and the polls you showed didnt take that into account, sides, a lot of the communnity doesnt go on twitter
Holy crap I agree...
I like all the Minecraft updates. They made Minecraft have more stuff. I find updates exciting, not bad.
The new Wolf Variants: CALL AN AMBULANCE! CALL AN AMBULANCE! BUT NOT *FOR ME*.
The reason is because microsoft is breathing down mojang's neck. it's not easy to develop a game when every single decision has to be ran up the ladder of command. I think that a minecraft developer recently said something about it on twitter.
except it literally hit record concurrent numbers in the past month
I was an ALL OUT minecraft guy for years. I remembered being so in with the game. Nowadays, I barely touch minecraft anymore. I'm more into geometry dash than minecraft. Is this just a me problem?
you forgot other controversial updates like beta 1.8; in which completely changed how the game worked (back then it was as bad as release 1.9 for some people, and still is till this day), release 1.3; in which merged singleplayer and multiplayer into a single version, which made worlds load 10 times more and brought up lighting issues that can still happen (tho rarely), and release 1.7 which made caves less likely to appear and more boring, weird not many talk about those
15:34 frye jumpscare
Underrated channel
i hope minecraft will ad a reviving update, like they did with caves and clifs.
Minecraft does not have updates because it has huge updates when it does. That does not mean people are not playing it they will quit to come back once there is more things to do.
Part of the problem is that new features don't blend very well with old ones. Take copper. What is copper good for? Well, it could have been incorporated into redstone circuitry. And technically it was with the lightningrod... but that was sort of it. An entire new ore, used for blocks, lightning rods, and spyglasses. It was underwhelming. Copper is so useful in the real world, but so useless in the game. It was just a disappointment of an ore.
Also consider the sniffer mob. It's neat and interesting, but all it does is give you a couple flowers and look like a colorful Eore. It doesn't have any drops, it doesn't interact with any mobs, it barely interacts with the environment. It was lackluster.
And of course, let's not forget the controversy over villager changes or - dare I even mention them - bundles. The villager stuff has improved with time, but I still firmly believe it will be viewed as incomplete so long as it doesn't also touch up the anvil and enchanting table systems. Because all it does is make it harder to enchant gear, which was already a bit of a nuisance if you wanted to use villagers for it, and a headache if you wanted to enchant.
I think Mojang should learn from mods. People say that the Better Than Adventure mod is what Minecraft should have been. I somewhat agree. But I really think it’s what Minecraft should have.
minecraft also has 166m monthly players it is not dying
im still kinda upset that the armadillo got so much shade over winning and i get it because the crab was the obvious better option and i also really liked the crab but the armadillo is my favourite animal don't give that little guy hate please. :(
They need to add a new dimension and work on thay so that they dont keep adding in filler content
We need an update that can allow for players to experience a pleasant grind. Like I love netherite and all, but it feels quite insignificant compared to when you change from iron armor to full diamond one. Maybe a progressive enchanting system, where you use mob drops to increase the chances of an enchantment? Also, the END dimension would be a perfect candidate to continue the grind, similar to how the NETHER update brought us netherite.
I believe that, though Mojang is killing the game, the community is doing so as well. The most known groups aren't really clear on what they want, they don't give clear feedback often, sometimes they don't give any feedback at all, sure, updates are small, but there are tons of reasons for bigger updates to be just barely possible, yet the community doesn't want to hear it because they're just not willing to listen to things that disagree with their standing. Controversial updates do release quite often nowadays, but I also believe they aren't the only reason for the community's divide, the debate on which edition is the best, the community's diverse opinions, heck, even the mere size of it makes it impossible for everyone to be happy with anything, thus dividing it further. But the community's biggest issue, in my opinion, is its sheer ignorance towards development issues. Developing Minecraft isn't all about typing code and adding it to the game, there's tons of bureaucracy, there are 2 different editions of the game with 2 different codebases for 3 different types of devices (computers, mobile phones and controllers), there's a lot of planning behind development while including restrictions to make the game feel like at least a bit of its core essence… it's like digitally drawing, you don't just draw random lines on a screen, there's anatomy, art style, positions, clothing, sketching, line art, coloring, shading, highlights…
Overall, it's pretty hard to keep such a game up, and not everyone has a concrete, unifying factor to keep the community together. I've seen people who want more content, I've seen people who want depthful content and I've even seen people who want to play a version of the game with less content, this community is too diverse to keep itself together. Think of it like Austria-Hungary, it had a ton of ethnic groups spread through its lands, those ethnic groups wanted their own things which couldn't be provided to not anger the other side, but as soon as Austria-Hungary became weak enough, everyone broke away and it collapsed. It couldn't keep itself together because it was too diverse, much like the Minecraft community right now.
All I want is that the community stops being so childishly angry and that youtubers stop incentivating this kind of behavior, because it'll kill the game more than Mojang's decisions.
Even back then, the backlash against the eula change was frankly ridiculous. It's like no one took the time to actually read the old version of the EULA, same thing for the blog post Notch published. No wonder he choose to sell minecraft to microsoft not long after that, minecraft has a good community but there are really nutcases in there as well, damn
