6:01 Nobody says that the Combat Update revived Minecraft. It was an extremely controversial update that a lot of players hated and still hate to this day, primarily because of major changes to PvP. Minecraft didn't really experience a second "golden age" in 2016.
The players who hate that update were probably having skill issues 😭 You can also configure the settings so that attacking doesn't have a cooldown, so no sides are harmed. I've been playing minecraft since Release 1.1 and stopped playing in 1.7.2 because I got burned out. And when 1.9 came out I instantly liked the mechanics because players cannot just spam click everything and have no strategy at all. The attack cooldowns offers more strategy as when to use different tools like switching between sword and axe.
I think the modding community is also keeping it alive too, with mods there's never nothing new meaning if people get bored of vanilla Minecraft, then they can just add a mod or addon or even texture pack for a new experience. Heck mojang even hired a couple of mod creators like Kingbdogz.
