I feel like all of the recent updates had this lackluster appeal to them. It might be because I’m outgrown it, but the last big update I felt excited for was the terrain generation one (I think 1.18?). Other than that I can’t really get behind any of them. I mean, archeology sounds cool and all but it doesn’t really feel like Minecraft. Also, while having more mobs is cool, it just doesn’t matter as much to me anymore. They keep pushing out these updates and it feels less and less like Minecraft.

nb4 “just play an older version” yeah no duh, I know that’s an option. That’s not what I’m complaining about.

    Honestly I changed over to Vintage Story. I feel like it’s more what I originally envisioned that Minecraft would eventually become.

    Meaningful exploration, detailed crafting systems, and loads of other features to set it apart. Plus, it has an actual proper modding API, so it’s much easier to make/find mods.

      I can get behind everything else you wrote, but

      Plus, it has an actual proper modding API, so it’s much easier to make/find mods.

      Minecraft is literally the single most modded game ever, beating out even Skyrim by a huge margin.

        More thanks to it being simple than intentionally moddable though. Especially given that there wasn’t any official support til recently, and addons aren’t that good

        Heck, you’re right, or at least i phrased my point wrong.

        I’ll still say that mods are easier to make with a proper API, but by virtue of Minecraft being the bigger game by far, it does have more mods.
