Sipover's Nostalgia Bait Video Is Horrible 

complaining about having too many options for what blocks to use when building has actually gotta be the worst take in minecraft history

I love that you've brought the angry British ranting genre to minecraft and I fear the day I fall into the crosshairs Ty for the shoutout

You wanna know whats so good about modern minecraft? YOU CAN GO BACK AND PLAY THE OLD VERSIONS For clarification, my point that i tried to make (and failed) is that you can play the old version now still, but when 1.3 came out for example, you couldn’t play 1.4 or older (obviously because it hadn’t released) Hopefully that makes sense

Bro actually complained about no longer having para-social relationships with RU-vidrs ICANT.

My video is SHORTER than Sipovers, Sorry I couldn't forcibly and obnoxiously drag this out for 40 mins. I'm simply too EFFICIENT

“Minecraft sucks” mfs when they play the same strat the same way for a decade:

If killing the Ender Dragon means you finished Minecraft, then I haven't finished Minecraft for 5+ years

The biggest criticism given to Mojang is how little they manage to add to each update despite being a gigantic multibillion dollar company, yet he somehow managed to complain that they added too much to the game

Minecraft players when no updates:😡 Minecraft players when updates:😡

"The game is too complex theres too much stuff in it!" My guy...... IT'S A SANDBOX GAME.

6:34 So, let me get this straight. First he says modern Minecraft is boring and bad for having a forced main progression path, and then he says Skyblock is great, even though Skyblock LITERALLY HAS A SINGLE FORCED WAY OF PROGRESSING.

Guys after playing the game the same way for years with 0 creativity and imagination: "Booooooorriiiing!😡😤"

I'm convinced people who complain about how easy it is to beat the ender dragon don't actually like playing minecraft, they like beating games. Minecraft's purpose has NEVER been to beat the dragon asap, it's always been about creatively turning your world into your home, into a place you can call yours.

"You don't miss old minecraft, you miss being happy" - That one guy somewhere

"Hey Sipover, How about you pay $5000 to someone for a personality" Gerg is going to war with Sipover 😭😭

Sipover when nether biomes: noooo there is so many distractions Sipover when 🐝: nooo they only add unnecessary stuff

"Old Minecraft is better" mfs when I want to do something other than build a small cottagecore base with ugly ass blocks and look at scenery for 5 hours

I resonate with the "minecraft wasn't hard, it was just new" When I first joined my sensitivity was MAX so I was spinning constantly at night while hundreds of mobs were everywhere. It was hilarious.

Just because the dimension is called the “end” doesn’t mean the game ends there. After you jump in that portal, be it on day 10 or day 3000, you go back. Back home. Back to where you can let creativity take control of you. Back to your endless tunnels underground. Back to the pen you keep your livestock in. Back to the field you grow your crops on. Back to where you can stay forever or leave in an instant because you “beat” the game. If it’s your only goal to just kill that dragon, then you don’t even like Minecraft. Minecraft is more then just a boss fight. If you actually enjoy Minecraft, you dive into that ocean. You search in caves fearing the worst. You search deeper. You go deeper. “We need to go deeper”. We need to go deeper into playing Minecraft.

Sipover complains about modern Minecraft I go back to older versions using THE NEW MINECRAFT LAUNCHER

The message Minecraft wants to sent : Creativity has no limit Sipover : The new Minecraft has too many choices and is too creative Well done sipover

Here’s another example of Sipover contradicting himself. He complains that progression ruined Minecraft then praises Skyblock, a mode where there is tons of natural progression to thrive

Ah yes, lets go back to days where beast boy was a mob and we could shoot infinite arrows out of our faces.

Minecraft Players when update is to big:😭 Minecraft players when update is to small:😭

players when minecraft gets no updates: this game is dying also players when minecraft gets updates: this game is dying

"Digital Garbage" is my new favorite term

I am happy people are pushing back against these awful video essays/"critics".

As a person who plays Minecraft for more than just survival and multiplayer servers, I am baffled by how prevalent this mentality of old Minecraft is. Even with the nostalgia for older versions, they are so vacuous compared to the newer versions, and not in a good way. There's still some appeal, of course, but if they kept Minecraft how it was back in the release version, I would've stopped playing it eight years ago. I cannot believe he actually uses the shit old creative menu as a "positive" (The one where you couldn't access your inventory unless you placed a utility block down, the one that had two versions of the cake for some reason, the one that didn't let you equip armor). The new creative inventory is one of the best uis in the entire game for how well it works for finding things. I could not imagine trying to do anything creative in the older versions when they didn't have -Fill commands -Spectator mode -Teleport commands -Execute commands -Custom worldgen -Custom biomes with custom ambience and particles -Support for custom sounds and sound replacement -Support for upwards of 10,000,000 custom models per item (Though with the new "item_model" component custom model data is even more ridiculously limitless) -Custom items with custom names, attributes, and textures (And as of 1.21.2, almost every single item type has been broken down into tags, allowing you to make any item have any property of any tool, be equipable as armor or elytra, be consumable, shield the player from death, resist explosions, lava and fire, and definitely some other things I've forgotten about) -Custom enchantments with a frankly ridiculous number of built-in properties, all of which can be painstakingly filtered and predicated to make the most specialized items possible -Datapacks, which can use said enchantments, predicates, and advancement triggers to allow you to basically do anything with anything -Tags and loot tables which let you overwrite almost everything in the game that drops items, whether it be shearing sheep, chicken laying eggs, cats giving you gifts, the items you get from mining any block with any tool, or interacting with specific tools, or killing mobs with specific items or at specific times or in specific biomes or with specific armor equipped or at a specific level -Turning every new system into completely data-driven directories, allowing you to make custom banner patterns, armor trims, wolf variants, paintings, records, etc -Custom crafting which now supports completely unique results with custom data -Full control over every entity's attributes, including the player, which let you control speed, damage, gravity, jump height, and even size -Scoreboard values and nbt storage which allow you to store a nearly endless amount of data, either tied to individual players or the world itself And these are just the things I could think of off the top of my head. Mojang has been adding so many new features recently that even going a single major release back feels like a crazy step backward. I'm sure some people will argue "Well, I don't do technical things so none of this matters", but if the game gets so boring that you think an objectively incomplete version of it is somehow better, then you're best off looking to the community for adventure maps, or datapacks which add new features, which benefit greatly from the new systems they've been putting in place

They forget that Minecraft is a SANDBOX game, not an RPG. _"Infinite Wonders, Endless Possibilities"_ This is literally, textbook example of Nostalgia Bias

For goodness sake have a single one of these “old Minecraft good, new Minecraft bad” people literally any Terraria. Because if you want a hard progression based game, with bosses to fight, Terraria sounds like the game for you, not Minecraft. Minecraft is literally all about creativity and building. Creating is literally half of the name, you mine materials to build, and then you craft structures. It’s not called “Minegetdiamondlootassoonaspossibletobeattheenderdragoncraft” smh

Mojang: Updates game. Sipover: Its too distracting. Majang: Stops updating the game. Sipover: Why it doesnt have any updates.

Minecraft: here’s a simple game about blocks Community: NOOO ITS TOO SIMPLE ITS SO BORING THERES NOTHING TO DO Minecraft: ok we added more blocks so u can explore Community: NOOO ITLL NEVER BE WHAT IT USED TO BE EVERYTHINGS A MOD NOW Minecraft: Yknow what here’s an option u can use to get back to the old version Community: NOOO MODERN MINECRAFT LAUNCHERS HAVE RUINED THE CLASSIC VERSION!!!!

i feel like these people who complain about new minecraft just miss being kids discovering and exploring, like imagine how cool it would be to find an deep dark and then an ancient city without knowing what it is. the rush of spawning a warden for the first time with your friends, realising it is bloind and managing to survive, or the trial chambers, imagine how scared you as a child would be if u accidentally discoverd it whilst having bad omen.

At 6:47 you can see he gets the achievement "stone age". ...except that was never an achievement and got added with advancements, meaning he's using a resource pack. You can also see him unlocking recipes in the recipe book in the top right corner, proving you can play skyblock on newer versions, and the fact he is playing on 1.12+ probably means he prefers it.

I’m tired of the “Old Minecraft was so much better trend” Most of the comments agreeing with them are Little Timmy and his 79 alts. The amount of straw man’s and nostalgia blinded info they give is so fake and one-sided. If you really miss *Old* Minecraft there is nothing stopping you from playing older versions.

The reason I prefer 2010s minecraft is because the community back then wasn't as big and wasn't even close to as toxic

"The game doesn't get boring. You do." That's a phrase that's stuck with me for a long time.

"tHeReS toO mAnY oPtIonS!!11" mfs when i wanna build something with more than 4 different blocks

as a crappy builder myself please dont lump me in with these guys. i just wanna live in my cherry wood cube and sit with my many pet dogs.

1:01 If you start your complaints with any mention of "beating minecraft," it's invalid. You don't "beat" minecraft.

If you don't like the new stuff, then follow these simple steps: 1. Open the minecraft launcher 2. Go to installations 3. Create a new installation 4. Choose version indev 5. Go back to the homepage 6. Select your installation 7. Hit play Done.

I love how recently the trend has shifted from "Minecraft bad now :(" to "THIS GAME IS GREAT AND I WILL NOT PRETEND IT ISNT"

All of these "Old Minecraft good, new Minecraft bad" videos really make me feel like these people don't understand what Minecraft is, it seems like they come in expecting a rpg or something similar, when Minecraft is a sandbox game, the point of sandboxes aren't to "complete" the game, they're to explore and have your creativity run wild

4:48 Hey. You mentioned my video. The “What makes old Minecraft so good?” Video is mine. NOT ONCE in that video do I claim that old Minecraft is better. I have an extremely nuanced take that basically boils down to “yeah old Minecraft was better at some things, but it also is worse at others.” I’m incredibly disappointed in your decision to throw my thumbnail up there alongside these other people. I love Minecraft. I play modern Minecraft all the time. IN FACT, the original title for that video was “The concerning rise of Minecraft beta.”

These aint pink tinted glasses. These glasses have been droped into an industrial bucket of pink paint till you cant see through them anymore

Referencing TangoTek's Hermitcraft pov brings up something else funny: There's a lot of people on Hermitcraft, and a lot of them aren't even involved in killing the dragon, yet they each still make 50-100 videos on the same server.

It's going to be fun when Sipover realizes he can still chose to play older versions of minecraft.

but guys! Playing minecraft with a selection of 20 blocks, 3 biomes and no structures to explore, and like 5 different hostile mobs to fight is so much fun It doesn’t spark creativity it just sparks boredom

The 'Are you entertained yet, dumbass?!' got me choking on my drink for ages, did not see that coming, and the times when he just preps, cooks and serves Sipover's ass over and over again is brilliant.

i know shorts pay your bills but please make more of these i love how genuine and brutually honest you are. its a breath of fresh air in a corporate hardcore 100 days world

Ok... First "I fixed Minecraft by turning it into a differennt game" videos were called out and rosted. Now "Old Minecraft was better" vids are being destroyed. Minecraft RU-vid is healing!

Sipover would want to go back to the Stone Age to be immersed

These people just want to play terraria, but its not "Trendy" enough and they cant get views with it

I feel like this is the kinda guy who would agree with mojang, that adding vertical slabs would “limit creativity”

I love how one of his points when talking about how “Old Minecraft was better” is “Le New RU-vidr bad” like that has anything to do with the game’s quality.

this guy definitely looked at lego and said “wheres the endgame?”

He says old Minecraft was better, but then list a bunch of things you can still do in new Minecraft. Because you know sky block clearly doesn’t exist anymore.

Gerg, making a video on sipover doesn’t help you kill the ender dragon.

Computers nowadays are too complex, I miss when they were the size of a house and could only do basic math.

Bro, it is nostalgia. I have played og Minecraft (1.8) recently and compared to new Minecraft, IT IS ASS.

I think it isn’t just “old Minecraft” they miss, it’s the FEELING they had, which is now gone, sure you can go back to older versions, but you can never replicate that feeling of playing Minecraft on your Xbox 360, building some goofy ahh house, and more

I play old Minecraft but I don't cry about modern Minecraft being "too complex" or "not Minecrafty".

2:06 According to a video by OrengE, people criticized since beta that "Minecraft is too easy", so that "Survival is boring", "Mojang (Notch) is lazy" and "The new content is shallow".

You don't miss old minecraft, you miss being happy

"Its not an adventure" "Theres too much stuff to distract you and make you want to explore >:("

Something that I realized after watching too many of this type of "Minecraft isn't like it used to be" videos is that you don't miss how Minecraft WAS gameplay-wise, you miss not knowing the game at all and being amazed by everything you found

in my opinion i think the reason we liked old minecraft better is because we were all younger back then and didnt have anything else. i do like the simplicity but i would rather play current mc than go back to beta 1.8

I started on 1.12 and I’m literally full of nostalgia but modern Minecraft is still better bruh

10:12 You should have paused the video and screamed in the microphone that he is an idiot for thinking ghasts are useless , ghasts are killed for tears to make end crystals so you can refight the ender dragon , not only that but they can be used to make potions of healing allowing the player to heal even when the player runs out of saturation . Edit : I just realized that Sipover is even more stupid for putting ghasts in new minecraft despite them being released when the nether came out in october 2010 .

I didn't expect to see someone so angry about someone who doesn't even know you can just play older versions

old minecraft was better mfs when they realise they can just go to 1.8 in the launcher

“This sandbox game has too much creativity!”

Gerg vs Sipover was not the RU-vid beef I had in mind but this is amazing

the craziest part of the progression thing is that at least half of the people who play minecraft java havent beaten the ender dragon without cheats

Sipover's video sounds like a shitty essay I wrote in middle school

You don't miss old Minecraft you miss when the game was brand new to you and you were discovering new things constantly.

I think it's important to note that the video by Dialko "It's Not Nostalgia. Old Minecraft WAS Great" isn't about why new minecraft is bad (he likes it, in fact), but why some people just prefer old minecraft and why it has it's own charm different to that of the current minecraft. Repeatedly referencing it as a bad example with such a ravenous hateful tone feels disingenuous at best and intolerant to someone's own harmless personal taste at worst. He mentions in his own video some people are really hostile about people simply playing a version they like and you kind of give that vibe with your exaggerated rude and disrespectful tone. Dialko's video is a good video. I recommend it even if you don't prefer old versions. I don't play old minecraft, but I loved it.

A lot of people who “miss” the old Minecraft are just missing how they felt when they played the game when they were younger.

Sipover sounding like an ai reddit video Edit: Not yall waking up just to talk about a single letter grammatical error

They always complain about a set progression (which doesn't really exist in mc) but they don't realize that the game is just meant to fuck around in. if you want difficult block progression, just play terraria. It's an amazing game with more amazing mods. it'd perfectly quench their needs

Gerg is obviously wrong. Everyone knows that Minecraft is a linear progression game with the only objective being to beat the game and get full netherite armor as fast as possible.

Can’t believe people practically complain about new blocks being added as being “distractions”

I've noticed a weird common complaint among all of these nostalgia-bait videos, hell even videos that are actual critiques of modern Minecraft. That somehow, it is worse because you "know" what to do now. A complaint completely derived from...simply already having played the game growing up. Most (hell, almost all) new players to the game nowadays still have that same questions posed onto them as old players have before, "What the hell do I do? What the hell do I want to do?". Most of the old players have already chosen many different answers to that question. Some decide to head to the Ender Dragon. Others decide to build large castles. The point is, most new players are still asking themselves those same two questions. Nothing's really changed in the game. It is only the player that changes.

this is the equivalent of wanting to just go back to crt tvs and renting movies in block buster

I did have more fun in old minecraft, but it’s not because of the game, it’s just because everything was more fun when i was younger

The problem with modern Minecraft isn’t the game itself, it’s that we’re not kids anymore, we understand it better.

Ain't no way sipover puts fucking futuristichub to say how 'old minecraft was better'

8:42 "on something you had to download of planet mincraft" Bro really cooked.

"It's so Sipover" are one of the best lines I've ever heard

Ah yes I get so immersed with walking through the same 4 biomes over and over again

“New Minecraft sucks” mfs when they learn about Curseforge:

Bruh. He's talking how "decorations" in minecraft are somehow a bad thing. I love it! In terraria, which is one of the most replayable games out there you have like 200 hundred types of CHAIRS

"there isn't a feeling of adventure" "There is a million biomes and structures" The joke writes itself

Bro is so aggressive towards rose glassed people. And I’m all for it

*Sipover when he realizes the reason Minecraft is easy is because he has been playing it for fucking years:* 😮

10:08 wouldn’t more biomes and structures make the game more immersive because the world actually seems lived in?

11:40 it's so sipover 😔

I only really got two problems. 1. the aesthetic is changing and i prefer the old one 2. new features are often given priority over old. here’s what i mean: when copper was added, it was given a full set of blocks, even though the other ores still lack even a stair form

The more distractions, the less nostalg- i, uh, mean “immersion” you’ll feel

If you want to play like old Minecraft and not have to focus on speed running the dragon and getting netherite just play like that. Minecraft doesn’t force you to speed run everything but apparently sipover doesn’t realize that
