Minecraft has a problem, and it's you. 

People when Mojang didn't add a huge update: "Why Minecraft updates are so slow!?!?" People when Mojang add a huge update: "Nooo this doesn't feel like Minecraft! We want our experience back!!"

Certain People when Mojang adds purely decorative blocks: UGH, Mojang adds all these new blocks that don't even DO anything, they're just bloating the inventory with a bunch of useless crap that doesn't even craft into anything useable, literally unplayable the same Certain People when a mod adds new blocks that are only used for decoration: LOOK AT THIS COOL NEW WOOD TYPE AND THESE COOL NEW GRASS VARIANTS, it really makes the world feel more varied and alive than vanilla, Mojang would NEVER add something like this

Nostalgists: "Minecraft was good when it had little features and it was simple" Also nostalgists: "btw download this minecraft beta mod that adds new trees, adds new blocks, adds new items-"

Honestly... The Minecraft Community is spoiled. Genuinely. - The game itself only costs around $30, while the industry standard is $60 to $70 (sometimes even higher) and provides endless hours of enjoyment. - We get COMPLETELY FREE annual content updates with no strings attached, and no paywall. - Full customizability for the game, able to use data packs or mods to easily freshen up the experience (unlike many franchises, which keep a strangle-hold on their IP and threaten lawsuits against people who dare alter them). - The game is playable on most platforms. There is no console or "Apple Arcade" exclusives. You can play it on any computer, phone, or device. - The best april fools updates any game has ever had, once again for FREE. But when they make new updates, the community has the nerve to say its not good enough. When confronted with the mob vote, the community says "GIVE US ALL THREE!!!" Its like a bratty child getting offered a choice between three chocolate bars, and then getting upset when they can't have all of them. How is it unfair to say NO? It just reeks of entitlement.

You forgot to mention that you can just access to the Beta, Alpha, and even some of the pre-alpa versions through the launcher, just gotta go into the settings and enable them.

i wish all of Minecraft's community can watch this video and learn from it

Also, people forget that Mojang is one of the few game studios that doesn't burn out their emplyees. When I was a kid, I only cared about the features and the content, but as an adult, I am happy that the game I play doesn't cost developers the free time they have with their families and friends

The biggest problem I have with Minecraft is how people severely overlook the work it takes to develop for the biggest game of all time. The pressure alone is enough to drive anyone mad. I can only imagine how much worse it is when they have dorks calling them lazy. None of us will ever know the pressure of being a Mojang Developer. It’s got to be one of the hardest jobs in the gaming world. Negativity sells. I have my criticisms with the game, but I think people need to criticize in a way fair way that doesnt start a hate brigade on devs trying to do their job.

also on a separate comment, oh my GOD am i glad someone else really gets behind the newer soundtracks so much, the atmosphere in it is incredibly well-done and the Nether soundtrack is still one of my favorite ambient tracks to this day. (i do also think it's suspicious that Lena Raine _specifically_ gets the majority of the critique for her music being "not fitting to vanilla" when there are multiple composers on the soundtrack -- i'm just saying, i see a _lot_ more people complaining about her than about Aaron Cherof, and that's... i don't know. squints. odd.) anyway, Creator is for sure one of my favorite music discs, and any instance of Raine's music in the game is an _absolute_ treat. honestly, i'm hoping we get more Deep Dark tracks from her somewhere down the line, because Ancestry is _gorgeous_ and i want more.

I agree with you. As someone who has been a fan of Minecraft since my childhood I always thought it was strange that anyone could hate such a masterpiece. It will always be a timeless classic. What I love about Minecraft is that it is a game that never seems to truly be complete. Each update improves upon the last, making the game better and better over time. And because of that, the game's charm comes from the fact that people can make it what ever they want by modifying it and adding on to it.

Modder here. I completely agree with your take. I don't understand the hate either. I don't understand how anybody has the energy to shit on Mojang as much as they have.

We need volume Gamma finally released from microsoft, it's there, C418 created it, just we haven't heard it yet, we need to pressure Microsoft to release it :C

3:09 the problem with this is that most of the people who critisize the updates are players of bedrock edition, which DOES force you onto the newest version, and thats why minecraft gets so much hate, you cant just go back on bedrock that eaisly

Nostalgia Blindness is my single most hated thing. I hate it so much, more than anything in the world. For whatever reason Nostalgia is 10x more powerful (often negatively so) in the Minecraft franchise than anywhere else.

I definitely think the mob votes are interesting but I don’t know why they couldn’t implement all 3. It would be a lot cooler to have the vote be which mob to add first then stagger the other 2 out over the year between major updates. Let’s be honest with ourselves adding an armadillo, a penguin and a crab over the course of even a month would be extremely doable for a small team.

It is Minecraft, We as players have changed, we grew up, so did the game, it changed, it updated, it added new things. There are love, there are hate. Good and bad decisions. Memories to look back and more features to look forward. Despite everything, it is still Minecraft.

I know that most of the people in these comments are being genuine, but I also know that there are some people who switched up really fast after watching this vid.

This video is so based, I'm so glad to finally see some positivity on Minecraft YT.

I hate people who are like "It's NoT MiNeCrAfTy EnOuGh 🤓☝"

Finding someone that shares almost all my opinions is quite rare nowadays Pretty good video! Keep it up!

wow didnt know i would get offended by the title it self OK watching the video i understand his point hes got a point ive been feeling the same recently

I love the game but My only dislike is that we have features that dont make since like why we have glowsacs for stuff when we have glowstone which could have been used instead for those features, just bloating

Now I will say this I am a C418 Stan (love his stuff) but the new stuff is really good hell I’ll put up the with his best (in my opinion)

I agree so many people are just jerks to mojang and I also appreciate what mojang add to the game.

I'm just grateful for the things that they add, nobody's perfect, there will always be opposition to something whether it's good or bad. As long as you look for good things you will almost always be happy. It's all in your perspective. I played minecraft in 2012, it's changed a lot since then!

In my opinion, the updates add a lot of things for nothing, it's either inconsistent with the rest of the game to make the thing in question more original (which just ends up failing) or incomplete like copper and amethyst (seriously the only recipe in which copper and amethyst makes sense are the lightning rod and the spyglass (but only for copper), talking of them, they don't have a true identity like iron is for machines or lapis is magical. They add so much half done stuff which doesn't even get elaborated further in the newer updates (like amethyst, the deep dark, cave biomes or archaeology) that I feel just bad seeing all this wasted potential, also, old ideas almost never get a rework or get expanded upon. They also have all these new 🌟standards 🌟that rarely makes sense and often contradicts the original game, like it's trying to hide its older, sillier, less restricted design approach, for example, I can understand why endangered species and pets do not drop anything, but goats ? It doesn't even make sense when sheeps, cows and pigs do drop something, heck, bunnies have 3 different drops, 1 being used for magic, but frogs have none ???? I know I can just play my beloved 1.16.5 (which isn't perfect by the way I see flaws but they are generally minor) and call it a day, but it just sucks to see all this wasted potential in the ideas and the time and effort for the developers. Talking about devs and programming, I'm learning java just to make my alternate reality mod on 1.16.5 like many people did for betas, there's also plenty of mod categories, when people are comparing modern Minecraft with its mods, it's not always about if the content could be added to the game (because of course a mod like GregTech wouldn't be added to the game), but, at lest for me, it's on the perspective, some modders seem to put more care, love and effort into making their mods than Mojang does into making updates, no matter the genre. I've also seen heavy tech mods having a better design for its resources and mechanics than Mojang can make, being more consistent with the rest of the game. Also, hot take but I personally think Minecraft on PC and on consoles and phones were better when they were separate versions, as it removes a lot of the freedom the devs would might have used (with keybinds for example), 4J understood that with legacy edition, and didn't try to do exactly like the PC version and decided to go on a different path with the mini-games. On another note, how exactly can having more options and freedom hurt creativity ? Why couldn't there be a block palette as complete as deepslate's for the other types of rock, yes even granite ? Why couldn't there be iron or gold decorative blocks like copper does ? Now let's talk about the spicy stuff : the music (note that I haven't listened to 1.21's soundtrack because I don't want to get spoiled), the new music feels very generic, it can be resumed to piano solos and empty space (I'm also not saying there can't be pauses and piano in music), there's no real Minecraft charm in it, I'm not saying that the music is bad, but that it's not appropriate for Minecraft, at least not with the older music. Listen to volume alpha and its instruments and chords, it feels varied, charming, it puts you at ease and gives you a feeling of comfort, listen to volume beta and its progression, everything has a reason to be in the song, I also like the versatility of the music, since it's separated in Creative, Survival, Main Menu, Ocean, Nether and the End, the modern Minecraft music is now also biome specific, which removes a lot of the charm and originality the old Minecraft soundtrack had, the only exception my disliking of the new soundtrack is the nether update's soundtrack, it really felt in place with the old nether soundtrack and with the game in general, I couldn't tell it wasn't C418 who did it. Finally, I'd like to argue about music discs but my opinion that new music discs doesn't feel the same (yes, Pigstep included) as the old music discs is mostly based on the feeling the discs give. To finish this, I'll say that I'm not saying that every haters are right, but that all the arguments mentioned in the video have valid reasons to be brought up, it's a shame you're stuck on a simple hater's point of view of the opinion which makes you think it's undeserved. There's some people that genuinely think that with actual arguments like me that just want the best for this game. Thank you for having read through all of this, sorry for my potentially bad English at times, it's late night and I'm not a native speaker, and I hope you understood my point of view. Anyways thank you for coming to my TedTalk

what biome mods were you using in the video, they look fantastic

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am so sick and tired of this attitude as someone who has played minecraft since, if I remember right, before 1.8. I love game design and I love Minecraft as a game. I've also been a big fan of various indie or small game scenes and let me tell you that Mojang is not lazy. I've seen broken promises, games frozen in early access, greedy devs, even been ripped off a couple times before I knew better. Mojang has done everything in their power to give the community an amazing game with fast updates and it is absolutely digusting to see people shredding into them like spoiled brats. There are certainly some things I want to see changed and mechanics I want to have added. I critique the game like I do any other, but you know what I don't do? Whine and cry about every tiny thing Mojang does. They have made a phenomenal game even better with each update and if people don't like it, Minecraft has the biggest, fastest updating modding scene on the planet. If people don't like the new updates, they can play on 1.8 or 1.12 which already have tons of backports of any features they could want and mods to do pretty much anything. Also, controversial opinion, I don't personally like C418's music. I love the stuff Lena Raine has made and her music got me to turn on ambient music for the first time ever in years of playing this game. Change isn't necessarily a bad thing and, if you really hate it, there's a mod to fix it. I don't play vanilla Minecraft (I call my mod packs "vanilla adjacent") because I also have things i feel are necessary which haven't been added, but i understand that mojang has more to contend with than my personal preferences. I do wish they added all the mobs from the mob vote personally, partly because I love the ideas but also because of the pure animosity around the whole thing. I honestly think one of the reasons mojang hasn't changed as much as they could is because the community cries at every tiny thing they do. Dont even get me started on caves and cliffs. I saw someone complaining that "all we got for caves and cliffs part two was a terrain update." Updating terrain and ESPECIALLY smoothing it between new and old chunks is a colossal difference! It is so frustrating to watch arguably one of the best game companies of all time be dragged through the mud by their own community because they have no idea how much time and effort this essentially free content takes. If people genuinely want minecraft to be the best it can, they need to quit crying. Final note: I'm not saying dont critique. Whining and critique are two very different things. As I said earlier, I love game design and critiquing games. Mojang is never going to be able to listen to that critique though, if it's drowned out by needless hate

This is the best video that talking about mojang and the game

I believe that C418 music holds greater artistic value than all the new music if you look at it from a more "nerd" point of view. I regret there is little actual analysis of mc music. I feel like when people talk about it, it usually boils down to "C418 is great but [insert newest lena raine track] is my favourite". I know this was not the goal of the video or even the main points but i enjoyed it anyway. Good vid 👍

I knew it was the problem

You know, I played minecraft since 2014 and I still love it to this day, it one of the only things in my life that makes sense and brings joy, and I don't play multi-player because of the Toxic Community, unless I make my own server with my Friends, not that I have any anymore, but it's honestly not a game, it's like real life and also building in survival takes discipline, because of getting the resources and stuff like that, over all, it's honestly one of the only things this Generation that makes sense, and I'll tell you one thing even though I was born in this Generation, I hate it so much

Your right but also wrong. Mojang are either lazy or Microsoft is being too hands one AND The community is being too fucking greedy. Both points can co-exist together Mojang/Microsoft clear are under delivering, as shown with Minecraft Legends/Dungeons and Minecraft 1.16, they can indeed make large updates with these cool features. Nothing is stopping Mojang/Microsoft from making the features from Dungeons and Legends into the base game. Hell its one of my major complaints, that they refuse to add parity to MC Dungeons/Legends and the Base Game. And they can still clearly add fun little updates, as in the numerous April Fools updates that have at this point been MORE feature rich than actual updates. People are mad because Mojang/Microsoft are holding back and its obvious But on the other hand, yes a lot of problems are ironically enough community made: "Old Combat was better!?": The said combat is so exploitable that autoclickers are a legit problem "The Mace needs a nerf": This is a PvE game so shut the fuck up about balance The community wants so many things and no one can agree on what they want anymore

On the topic of Music here. I think people shouldn't compare other people's new works and compare that to a musician that everyone likes as the "gold standers of Minecraft music". It's just shitty and disrespectful to the artist that made the music. And on the topic of shitty. I need to talk about the continuing toxicity that people in the Minecraft community on Reddit, Twitter and RU-vid has been spreading and making more people more toxic, in the process. But you might be asking, what toxicity are you talking about? You see, ever since the Wild Update came out in 2022, this community has been spreading some toxic fumes to the point where being in this community is legitimately insufferable at times. I don't think I have to bring up the examples. Because I'm tired of bringing it up, and everyone has said already. So why bring it up when everyone knows it. As a 2011 player myself, I think negative fans on social media in this community, is honestly making this game worse and worse. It's just a constant cycle of hell of drama, controversy and despair. Am I exaggerating here? No. Absolutely not. All the things I'm saying here is true. And I don't know why it's happening. I don't get it. Because back during the Golden era of Minecraft's popularity through 2011-2015, everyone at that time was happy. The updates weren't being mainstreamed, there wasn't much controversy or drama and everyone was happy playing Minecraft and seeing RU-vid videos from their favorite RU-vidr at the time. I don't get why it's the Golden Era that got peace and less controversy + drama. Maybe it's because of the new fans that Minecraft's sudden popularity came from. Maybe it's how mainstreamed Minecraft is these days. Or maybe it's something else. I don't know. And I think I will never know. But hey, other then what I said in this comment, this video is right. Happy Birthday Minecraft. Lets have another 15 years as a strong community as one. Thank you for listing, now I'm going to go and continue building my Nether Hub now.😊💚

Actually 1.6.4 is currently unplayable.

Shaders?

New kind of video?

I still have a love for 1.7.10

If only there were ways to go back to specific versions in Bedrock, maybe Add-ons would be able to thrive. I love bedrock but playing marketplace maps that break as soon as we get a couple patch updates away its a bad look. Diving head first into modded Java this year has helped me to understand this. I still like to have the latest stuff, but now I get it. Unrelated: c418 is good and all, but Lena Raine's tracks are 🔥🔥.

Most fanboys don't realize how hard it is to make large scale games and movies. When it comes to a game like Minecraft that has gotten increasingly more complex, you need to work much harder to keep it running and it isn't easy. Yes people nowadays can learn how to make their own game and sell it for five or ten dollars but that's not the same as an entire team of 200 or so computer programmers in a hot studio working 24 hours a day to make a game sold to millions of players.

I mean that’s not very nice

I personally have a lot of negative views on Mojang, and In my opinion prefer better minecraft mod packs (no not the modpack "better minecraft" but as a genre for example better adventures+ by Flowstate) are better than vanilla, I also prefer the works of C418, but I still love vanilla minecraft. Its still the same simple block game I fell in love with, and always will be. And I will continue to love Mojang and Notch for the beautiful game that all of us had fallen in love with.

You are confusing the mojang that made our memories with the mojang that turned them into a money printer. These are two very diffrent mojangs

Discord. Not hate.

2nd

First

ah yes another "minecraft community sucks" video

cringe mojang fan

bad take.
