I decided to go through the history of the Minecraft updates, spin-off games, and community to really answer the question, "Is Minecraft getting worse?" I talk about everything, from Mob votes to KZheadrs, and from Minecraft Story Mode and Minecraft Legends to Minecraft Earth and Minecraft Dungeons.
What do you think? Do you agree with some of the opinions? Should I do more video essays like this one? Make sure to subscribe because this took a LONG time, and one more thing.. Have a great day!
Also, since I've been making this video, there have been changes to the information.
The mob found in the game files is the Illusioner, not the Iceologer.
Mojang fixed villager trading as well, so better enchantments are harder to get.
Yes, I forgot to talk about Hermit Craft, I'm sorry..
Also, the creators added to the QSMP are Brazilian, not Portuguese.
Let me know if I missed anything else.

Ah the mob vote. Probably the biggest mistake Mojang has made.
Adding useless mobs to the mob vote...
In my opinion, chat reporting still feels like a spit in the face.
That’s the biggest mistake MINECRAFT PLAYERS has made💀it’s literally voted by PLAYERS
@@Ocarus0Cycle tell me you didn't get the point without telling me you didn't get the point
@@patthepentagon weirdass
I feel like the “we’ll have all 3 but vote for what you want first” was the best way to go about it
The problem is the Minecraft community doesn't really understand how these mob votes work. You're not voting on one of three cool things to add, you're voting on one of three binned ideas Mojang has already tossed out, but they're giving the community the ability to save one of them. If it was an unquestionably good idea, Mojang would add it anyway. For instance, there is zero chance that if glow squids didn't win, that glowing signs wouldn't have been added anyway. Simply look at how the freeze effect was still added to the game, despite the mob that would have inflicted cold damage on the player losing the vote. So, the mob vote is asking you to save one of three bad ideas, not giving you the option to get one of three great ideas. And therefore, Mojang doesn't want to give you three. They'd rather give you zero. They don't want to add any of them, especially over time.
@@EvilParagon4 ah I see. I suppose the “all 3” format would probably work better for biomes then mobs
@@EvilParagon4that's cool and all but something you're missing is how useless and trash all the mobs are so instead of something fun and cute like the copper golem we got the allay which is useless
@@some_shitposting_idiot3023 To be honest Cooper golem is more useless. Allay can be at least used in farms.
What’s killing Minecraft is Mojang, all the new rules and censorship being enforced by Microsoft, deleting old accounts, banning certain servers and mods, they’re burning the whole thing to the ground right now, they’re even making it harder to go back and play older versions of the game now because they “don’t have the important safety features” so it feels like I can’t even go back and play the game I bought 12 years ago
Microsoft or Mojang? Didn't understand, cause they aren't the same companies. And it feels like you're just nostalgic about it.
@@igorfire13 I mean it’s Mojang making the changes, but it’s Microsoft that’s enforcing all the safety features and censorship. And yeah I am nostalgic, that’s the only reason a lot of older fans still play Minecraft, but they’re taking away from what made Minecraft feel so special, a simple game with no rules where you can do anything you want, but nowadays they fill it with pointless stuff and censor your freedom of speech and won’t allow you to use certain mods even though they’re made by a third party and they shouldn’t be able to get in any trouble for them, Microsoft is too worried about kids parent’s opinions and not about the actual players of the game, a large majority of which have grown up playing the game and are now old enough to make legal decisions for themselves
Deleting old accounts? That's literally illegal since they bought forever licenses. The license in alpha was extremely favourable to the buyer.

1:27 The only reason the phantom turned out as a "mistake" is because of the way mojang implemented them, the phantom would be far less annoying if Mojang did the bare minimum and made them require light level 0 to spawn above a block and even so, much more could've been done to make the phantom an actual mob and not a random annoyance.
I do kinda like it cause it does force us to sleep and it makes me feel more immersed just a little bit. I mean I for sure do miss not having to go to sleep and just exploring.

@@Steak_Hoagie_ also I said it ironically
The mob votes were a terrible idea. Did they really think that people would all be happy if they didnt get their option? There will always be upset players because of the votes
You think that's bad? Try having to restart your world everything they update the game. It's ridiculous to build an insane build, then have to restart just for glow squids to spawn
One thing I think they need to understand is sometimes to listen to the players, even if they will need to change the lore they are going for. Like the mobs, Just get rid of the mob vote,since too many people troll with making fake accounts to vote the worst ones. Just make good mobs then if the community likes it, add it. no? dont. And the unwanted or uneccessary items/
But the problem is that us players don’t even know what we want most of the time. A vote is a cool concept, but most Minecraft players don’t have the same knowledge as Mojang staff about how gameplay gets impacted by different updates.
vote is there to bring conversation around the social media

@@calebrichardson5259 u telling me the average Minecraft player knows more about game design than literal game developers
The iceollager had already been in Minecraft dungeons for a while before the mob vote and was a pretty disliked mob like the phantom, a lot of dungeons players didn't vote for it because of that reason

Correction: The part where Jesse, Petra, Lukas and Ivor trying to get back home wasn't in Season 2. Half of Season 1 was defeating the witherstorm and the second half was the same part you talked about. Season 2 was actually about trying to defeat the Admin aka Romeo.
Yeah, as a big fan of MCSM, that annoyed me so much, as well as the part where he said that Telltale never made profit from it. They _did;_ in fact, it was the only game since TWD that made any profit. Don't get me wrong I love how he talked about it in this video - it hardly gets looked at in a positive light these days - but if you're going to talk about something like this, make sure you have all the details right, no?

4:50 A good idea would be bringing old vote mobs as an option in new polls. This would allow everyone to actually prioritise the best option possible and use some of the more underwhelming polls to bring previous second fave options.
No no no mob votes shouldn't even exist just let mojang decide the mobs they want to add at best the polls should be about whether you like the mob/mobs or not after Playing with them for a few weeks
@@idkmyname5893 They already are picking the mobs. I still think the idea of mob votes is fun. It engages the community and brings traffic to the game and to specific update. What I am saying is that - as they clearly are not stopping the idea, there could be ways to make it more engaging and actually matter. They are already picking the mobs and creating the features for specific ones. Having whole roster available would actually give us a better illusion of a choice and it would mean they would stop giving us sub-fun options, like for example Tuff Golem. You are proposing expanded input from the community, which isn't the worst idea - but it's kinda already a thing with the unfinished releases of the updates. With players giving their opinions through official channels (like previously Minecraft Reddit).
Yes, or just.. interact with the community. Maybe one year make a contest where people have to program a mob that didn't win from the mob votes, explain features etc and upload it as video, then submit it in a form with the link for the public to review, etc. Diverse ways a mob can be used will be explained and presented, and it would be an amazing way to connect with the community and get everyone talking and debating.
i also think bringing biome votes back would be best
Yeah fr I need my moobloom

The allay had a bunch of potential but mojang be mojang.
bro minecraft story mode was so damn nostalgic.
Theres something to be said about logging on after years of not playing. I went from beta 1.8.1 to 1.18.2 not playing the game and i felt like i was in a new world with Pillagers, Trading, Warden, Elecytra, etc. If it gets boring i suggest just stop and come back. I modded 1.19.2 and still rocking strong on my smp world as an adult.
Thats true. A ton of people seen to just play Minecraft for literally years of their life, and when they start to get bored, they will immediately blame Mojang for anything that they didn't like. A huge part of the community seems to not understand that no game can be fun forever playing on a daily basis, neither that their opinion of what they like on the game is the ultimate true.
It really seems in some degree mojang have made mistakes that they really need to rectify, but a lot of it is put down the controller and come back a few years later. Honestly I'm pretty impressed by the new world generation after 1.19 (but I HATE how ores spawn and honesty the caves now are way too big imo)
Just a small thing to point out, the illager mob you referred isn’t the Iceologer, it’s a different mob called the Illusioner that’s been in the game files since 2017.
It’s weird it’s an almost fully functional mob. And it isn’t even in the game. If mojang actually put work into it. The Illusioner would be a great addition to the Illager army.
@@drxtale9446 One of the devs said back at Minecon 2019 that they were planning on fully implementing the Illusioner into the game and adding them to raids, but we haven’t heard anything about that since then. I’m hoping this next update they finally get fully added.
It’s so strange hearing these things because I’ve played exclusively modded Minecraft, that I had to pause for a moment when you said the illusioner was just in game files. It really is wild how far the modding community has surpassed the actual developers.
@@Chroniclerope the devs ARE modders they just have restrains on them. KingBdogz literally made the Aether mod
Mob votes always leave a part of the community disappointed 😞
and the mob usually a dissapointment so everyone is upset
True but is it really better that no one gets input into what mob gets added to Minecraft? I thought most people were happy with the Sniffer. I voted Tuff Golem but I'm still not disappointed with the Sniffer.
@@datguy3581 I think the most disappointed mob vote was glow squid because the other option was much better.
@@TauTauofSkalgaEvery single mob except for Phantom was a mistake. At least phantom adds something. Elyctra repair and a hard reminder you need to sleep
@@aptspikeybird1005 there is also the others who could have added just as much, with the kraken fitting way better in an sea themed update
Personally, I feel like at the start of every update they have rly cool ideas and mid way they just loose interest and call it a day. They add random stuff like axolottls, dolfins or sea pickles but not a single new boss. The core survival gameplay hasn't changed since like 1.9, the only new stuff is a better set of armor and tools.
One problem with Minecraft (Survival Mode) is it's progression system. Mods like Maljusz's progressive difficulty ,which makes mobs harder after entering the Nether, and again after entering the End are a good fix at least for single player. Another problem is more general, and that's the fanbase is split and the more mob and biome votes that are done the more split it becomes. Mojang should focus on improving existing items, and making the game possible to run without mods. Other things they could do is make more mob variants, and incorporate things they promised to add but haven't. A full update that addresses the community's biggest problems would if done well bring old players back, and hopefully entice new players.
Gives us new food, pets, biomes. Or at least make it so we don't have to restart every world just to generate glowsquids 😢
I was obsessed with minecraft dungeons. I played for at least a few months and returned multiple times. I played the entire game with my brother the day it came out, and I cherish that memory. However. I look back on what the game really was, and I just feel dissapointed. So many people, myself included, have wanted more rpg elements in minecraft and that's basically what dungeons was. Tangible enchantments, numerous weapons that allow for countless approaches to combat. It had so many features I wanted in the real minecraft, but it missed the crucial detail of being like minecraft. Sure, there's creepers and dirt blocks, but that's basically where the similarities end. Zero mining, zero crafting, just grinding. But it's spinoff, what more could you expect? Hmm, game balance, maybe. At launch, fighters bindings with radiance made you unkillable, anything less than that and the game was a slog to play through (it didn't help that fighter's bindings were one of the most unfun items to grind for). Apocalypse+ was a total joke when it released, to even beat the mid level difficulties you need a slow gimmick build, and had to inch through levels one enemy at a time. The pickaxe meta, whirlwind meta, tempest knife meta (a paid dlc only item) you can't expect every option to be viable, but to have a fun experience you had to pick certain weapons. The camp merchants were practically useless at launch, but they only got upgraded to be useful after the majority of players wrote the game off. The tower was dissapointing, it didn't even have multiplayer at launch in a game that heavily incentivizes playing with friends. Minecraft dungeons was a huge missed opportunity, to this day I pray they will add just a weapon or a mob to the real minecraft, but I don't think they plan on utilizing their troves of premade content anytime soon.
i think this guy is pretty obsessed over minecraft dungeons
I miss story mode, it was so much fun.
I never played Story Mode or Earth, and I heard Legends is bad so I haven’t bought it, but I played Minecraft Dungeons, and wow. It’s honestly amazing. A dungeon crawler spin-off of Minecraft was a greta idea and was executed really well, especially its multiplayer factor. Great game overall

Story mode? Nostalgia? My man you're young.
My biggest issue with Minecraft now days isnt with the game itself. Its more with decisions Mojang/Microsoft have made for the community. Chat reporting, EULA changes. Forgetting the game has a wide audience of different ages and intrests. I mostly trust mojang with the game, but I dont trust them at all with the community.
Modders make moving machines, furniture, add rpg elements, cooler magic, better bosses, more beauty. Developers add insipid mobs, high effort low reward exploration motivators or another color of wood/stone- and we are supposed to get excited for it? At this point updates are not just pointless but force inspired independent developers to rework their mods, plugins and add-ons.
Pls understand, is small indie company
All that stuff drastically changes the game and makes it a new game that some people like and some people don't like. Mods can be uninstalled if you don't like them - new features can't.

I recently found a copy of Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 for my Nintendo Switch hiding in the back of my draw, I’m replaying it and I’m crying of nostalgia.
I started playing Minecraft in 2019 on my PS4, when "Minecraft PS4 Edition" was a thing. I still play it and enjoy it to this day and I hope it will stay so.
The phantom is a pian When they announced it and what it does, I always mined at night to avoid mobs on the surface so I thought nothing of this mob Until traveling back to base at night in full iron (Personally I think iron got a debuff) And so many of them hit me at once my health went from 100 to zero faster than an F1 car at top speed, the fact that several can hit you at once needs to change because it doesn't matter what armour you have or enchantments if enough tuch you in one go you die and this happens a bit too often
How in the world do you have less than 100k subscribers? You take so much time and love into making these videos!
Minecraft has been a loyal friend even when I seem to forget it exists its always there to remind me of simpler times. I think a lot of people seem to forget that if you don't like the version of the game you currently have you can always revert back to a previous version, modding Minecraft has never been easier so really if the game has something you don't like you could always just add something else or remove it with mods that being said I'm not going to pretend that every update is a homerun, I'm also not going to pretend that the mob vote isn't rigged.
How has this only got 1.7K views? Great editing and video. You just earned a subscriber :) Edit: also i think you should've mentioned the 100 days trend since that has became really popular and created a new genre of minecraft videos
People hate the phantom but the other mobs were just as bad. A blaze with a shield, a mob that pulled you under water when your trying to cross the oceans or a mob thay eats your enchantments
The last one's literally a walking grindstone I think the only problem with the phantoms is their absolutely terrible spawn mechanic when you have to wait 3 days (an hour) without sleeping in order for them to appear. This is annoying because intended encounter with those guys is unnecessarily time consuming and frustrating, but when you do not intend for them to spawn it gets even worse: they assemble into massive hordes to basically torture you. "Just sleep" doesn't solve the issue because we don't have a way to sleep and not change the spawnpoint. Hostile mobs are already here to punish a player for no sleeping, there was no need in this atrocity. At the same time you can't just turn phantoms off and live peacefully since they have a cool drop: the phantom membrane, which can be used to repair elytras and make slow falling potion (a must have when you travel in the End)
At least the hovering inferno is a mob that only spawns in nether fortresses while those anonnying flying rib cages spawn in the overworld, a dimension where 99.9% of players build their bases in there and they spawn after not sleeping for 3 days, the game litterally punishes its players for not skipping the challenges of night time (which doesn't make any f*cking sense). The phantoms existence is mostly Mojang's fault why? Because the entire concept of that mob doesn't make any logical sense at all. For example, games like dark souls or elden rign offers its players some mini bosses that can be skipped all together, logically those games should reward their players for taking the challenges of defeating those mini bosses, imagine if that was the oppesite, after defeating one boss the game for example takes money from its players, lowers some of the playable character stats, or the game throws an anonnying powerful enemy that follow you where and when you ever go, and then you have to use an item or do some specific things in order to get rid of such punishment. Do you now understand why the phantom sucks as a concept and as a mob and why the blaze with shield is a way more logical mob?

I think that as long as the current and new content creators keep up their amazing work, minecraft wont die. Minecraft is currently relevant only because of its content creators
That's the case for everything. If people online stop talking about it, it mostly dies.
like pushcat@@brickTopia-stopmotion
a lot of the complaints with minecraft recently comes from a lot of old players that prefer the way the old game is, Don't get me wrong it is FAR from perfect and the last couple updates have been mid at best, trails and tales is oddly good despite it being really small
I will always remember waking up on a Saturday morning, going to the kitchen to grab brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts. Then getting on KZhead to watch The Atlantic Craft Jurassic Craft series. I always loved watching Cody and Joe get into some outlandish situations while trying to deal with dinosaurs in minecraft. That will always be one of the times I loved best about minecraft. maybe I don't watch Atlantic craft as much anymore but I have that jurassic craft playlist saved to my playlists whenever I feel like rewatching.
i love the "i was too scared to play in survival so i played in creative" because me too
Minecraft will always be my favorite game, even though I miss the old versions, I need to face the truth,I also love the new updates,and without them minecraft would probably die fast right now, and without the mob vote there will be no drama (I found out that when a community doesn't have a drama going on, it's gonna die fast or at least a couple of months, I still think that the minecraft creators just loves to see chaos tbh ) sorry if my English is bad lol
hmm
You can still play old versions and mod them
atleast someone who appreciates the minecraft story mode efforts...we will miss it
"One day, we'll look back at where we started, and be amazed by how far we've come."
In terraria you aren’t supposed to kill dungeon guardians yet still get one of a kind items. Mojang just doesn’t see rewards as fun additions
Warden being as it is is good. Imagine just storming him and killing and then freely roaming around looting ancient city while now you have to be sneaky, so the "mini-game" is very intense and interacting
But... you can't kill it easily? And multiple wardens can spawn so you can't just roam around? Minecraft is a sandbox game, meaning that the possibilities should be limitless. Players will try to kill the warden, and it's difficult so they should get a reward.
You can literally roam around and do whatever you want if you get like 20 pieces of wool xd
this video is really well done and has good editing, in my personal opinion the main problem with minecraft atm is the updates i feel are lacking, like with the 1.20 features the only ones that i’ve even used were the new wood types i would love a end update like they did with the nether
Such a great video!!! Keep up the cool content, I hope you get into life steal SMP next season!
the thing that irritates me about the spin offs is how much more they have, like they have improved biomes, fun new plants and blocks, cool mobs yet when minecraft updates come round i feel like we really dont get much which i would be fine with if it weren't the most sold game in the world, even that id try and ignore if it weren't for the April fools updates, look at the lest one there were so many features added, half slabs, a new "dimension" in the form of the moon! it was buggy yeah but but it was more than playable and added some stuff the community has been asking for for years! it just feels like when a new update comes out it only takes me an hour or so to lose excitement because i feel like thats it ive done it now, i wish they would do updates less frequently and add more or something, maybe do a golem update and add the tuff and copper golem?
Story mode was the only spin off that wasn't bad. It gave somethig much different. Sad that the game got killed The current games are made on force, hype that dies faster(support)
meaning story mode season 2 all minecraft versions that arent the first and minecraft plus were awful? maybe think before you speak
@@catsdogswoof3968 isn't minecraft plus a screensaver pack? I don't think it counts, it was more an "snapshot" Old MC isn't a spin off, it is a developer process, which doesn't make it a spin off(it's a Wip of the Main game)
Glow squids not being able to emit light like a torch really sucks. Just imagine how cool it would look if you had an aquarium with them. They would've made for awesome decor, providing an unusual yet unique option for builders to include in their builds. And just imagine seeing small glow squid ponds in the deep dark. I don't think it would be a stretch to have a pretty, yet rare light source down there. What a waste of what could've been so cool.

Yeah, I realised that after making this, haha. I made sure to put that in the description though.
This channel is severely underrated, great video and unbiased relatable storytelling! You’ll make it big eventually just keep your head up 👍❤
I can't keep my head up. 2 years and I'm done.
I definitely got the Minecraft earth skin and it still gets use to this day :)
you got yourself a new sub also your almost at 1k so keep grinding bro
I actually loved Minecraft story mode lol and there was a deluxe edition that I got on PS3
Mojang's decision to focus a bit more on updating the already existing features is nice because it keeps the old stuff "afloat" and more up to date, making it more interesting to interact with. I really hope that they'll start adding the rejected mobs from mob vote (although I voted for Sniffer I think Rascal is an interesting mob that I want to see being added to the game in the near future) and actually do something with the already existing inaccessible mobs like illusioner and zombie horse.
Spectacular video, looks like real effort and time went into it ❤❤
I was really hoping you'd talk about the lack of focus on the survival aspect of the game with new updates. I miss the old Minecraft, when nights were scary. I can't stand playing survival and seeing villages and structures everywhere that make it too easy to survive. I had a moment yesterday where I learned that world generation is partly based on temperature, and thought how much of a missed opportunity it is to have temperature coded into the game that has NO effect on gameplay/survival. It only determines what types of biome generate in the area. But hey, we have armor trim and clay pots and... sniffers. Minecraft has been taking a nosedive since Beta 1.7 IMO.
I would've wanted Sniffer anyway but it's a bit too hard to find, it's annoying. I'd go for Tuff golem instead but I also fear how they'd screw up the golems so it's probably better in my opinion left to people who will make mods for it out of love. [usually having more features, more fair, maybe less or just a helpful addon unlike most.]
Great video explaining why people played in the past or are playing, not only talking about the nostalgia aspect but concluding with the new trends. The length is short and the subject is well explained !❤❤
I remember watching Minecraft story mode on netflix all the time with my friends and family and it’s so nostalgic, and when I was starting to play Minecraft (2016) I always made creepers explode and then trap other hostile mobs there and thought it woould help🥹🥹🥹
I started playing Minecraft during the time when hype was low. I've been playing ever since but didn't know much about many of the MC KZhead creators. Now i play with my 8 year old and he shows me videos from Thinknoodles and some of the other names mentioned here. I feel like I did Minecraft backwards a bit, but perhaps it's a good thing because I went into the game and community with an unbiased viewpoint. I still think adding lore to the game itself (like trail ruins and the whole concept of archeology itself) feels a bit out of place. I wish they would focus on a) updating what's already in the game and b) adding more useful things like new enchantments. I know we're all excited about swift sneak, but I feel like even the impact of that was softened by nerfing villager trades and making certain enchantments biome specific.
true
You deserve way more subs because these videos are really well made.
Storymode really put a lot of magic into Minecraft
11:23 Dude You Made Me Cry, I miss the old days so much
At 2:53 that is the illusioner. It is different from the iceologer. It was added in 1.12, and the mobvote with the iceologer was during 1.16 in 2020
I started watching minecraft around 2015 it wasnt until 2016 when i tried it, i was pretty bad but i slowly grew to be average. i always thought of the game showing me how far it has come, but it was showing me how far i came.
Very well made video. I think it is less of Minecraft getting worse or Minecraft getting better and more of a transfer of style, size, and community from the earlier days to the modern era. As someone who has played Minecraft for the past 12 years, it is a wonderful game that I do love, but most of the content and gameplay options of the modern community aren't really too much to my liking, but that's just how these things happen. Games evolve, alongside their playerbase, and Minecraft is no different.
Lmao while watching the video i thought this guy prob has 150k subs at least. Its insane how good this video is, keep up the good work
I remember when I bought the 2 seasons of Minecraft Story Mode and I really enjoyed playing them and I couldn't wait what Season 3 could have been but I was like shattered because of Telltale Games completly shutting down
You cant always make everyone happy but sadly its always the bad things among the so many good ones that gets talked about. Think about how many good things that were added instead or think about what we could do to improve ”bad” features.
It's crazy how mojang listening to the community is met with backlash and mojang not listening to the community is met with backlash
What is the point
agreed
Because they constanty miss the point of why players want certain features and underdeliver on said features.
the mob vote was bad now the java chat report feature is just the final nail in the coffin for a game we once loved but at the end of the day minecraft is still minecraft and it will still hold a special place in our heart and at the core the game is still the same game where we built are first house tamed our first wolf beat up a mob and barley escaped with your life that is the beauty of minecraft never knowing what adventures will come next not knowing if a creeper will creep up on you whether or not knowing if you have enough materials to build your base. I once heard someone say minecraft is not about what you have built it's what you can build.
Awesome video and editing i have just subscribe to your channel. ❤
at this point I'm considering just acting like new updates are mediocre mods and Beta mods like Better Than Adventure are the real vanilla versions of the game
I wish they'd bring back the biome votes way better then mob votes
There are too many items in the game that have too few uses. Mods are now pretty much required for the game to be fun
...the moment you start talking about story mode,i started crying...why?When Minecraft story mode had its first episode for free afterwards i went to youtubers and saw the rest...but now...i wish i had money back then as a child to buy the rest and help telltale...but no kid could save an entire company...so i just remember those cherished moments ;v;
Honestly, every point was spot-on. Games like Story Mode didn't deserve to be canceled. Sometimes, I think MC has fallen off with the amount of bad content around it these days. Everytime that happens, I look at what's good about the game, the things you can do, see, hear, experiences we have and never get again. This video was awesome, and you definitely earned a sub!
Hey as long as you can get on a new single player world and you can have fun, then the game is still good for you, and yes even if you loose all your stuff in lava.
2:50 Video was good overall, (nice narration kept me interested from start to finish) but there needs to be more quality control the next time focused on fact checking here.
Im crying at the ending idk why but nostalgia i felt in the video made me cry
Here's why I think minecraft spin-off games are essential to the main game: 1. Various different ways of playing minecraft. Minecraft is no longer considered a game, but a game series. (according to Jeb) 2. Lore. Personally, I am a huge fan of the lore, and things like disc 5 (which btw combines the lore of Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons) really excite me. I am the kind of person who would play a game only for the lore (that's why I played Minecraft Dungeons and bought the Minecraft Dungeon's novel) 3. Content. Mojang has been known to add content from one game to another. Games like Minecraft Legends, which began development in 2018, were the foundations to updates like the Nether Update. Even the wild update had some foundations to Minecraft Dungeons, since one Dungeon's mob can be heard in Disc 5, before a cut to music. 4. I LIKE THEM WHY DONT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WHY MINECRAFT DUNGEONS HAVE NO UPDATE WHY PEOPLE DONT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THEM THEY LITERALLY ARE THE BEST GAMES EVER... is anyone still reading???
I am still reading.
@@PhoebeLovesCharSiewRice reading what?
@@helenos_152 Your comment, just finished reading
This vid deserves more views
My nostalgic Minecraft KZheadr series was Two awesome gamers, Seeing all the ones you included made me feel so old lol
I think it's good creators are keeping Minecraft alive, but it isn't enough to stop Microsoft from killing it by letting the community report each other and unnecessarily banning off most of the innocent player base.
The Warden being added is one of my favorite things about Minecraft. Once you get far enough in the game, you get all kinds of powerful weapons and armor that pretty much makes you undefeatable. In a sense, the Warden reintroduces that feeling of vulnerability that you experience similar to when you start a new world and have nothing. You don't know if you turn a corner and you'll die from a Creeper or get pelted by a Skeleton. For the Warden, no matter how prepared you think you are, there's a good chance you won't survive if you encounter it. I like that it isn't a "boss" mob and it's meant to be avoided. It makes going into the caves more fun and exciting! Also, I really miss MC Story Mode as well. I never got to see the second season to it the full way through. Edit: To add, this is a really good Minecraft video! You did a good job of explaining everything for how it is. It really opened my eyes to how much the franchise has been through and how much has changed. I love all the new updates and content! I got into Minecraft around the end of 1.16 and I don't think I could ever stop playing it.
Yeah, but you have to admit, Skulk Catalyst? It should have much better drops, even if it is useless. (Like the dragon egg.)
@@megadustone I believe Mojang said the only reason for that was to take away the incentive for players to fight it. Unique loot or even a good chunk of XP would make players want to try to take it out. Guess Mojang really didn't want it to be fought lol. Even the XP of the Catalyst was reduced. Me personally, I'm fine with it. (I still believe there is a possibility for a Sculk Dimension, perhaps with its own bosses)
Your content is so good, and super underrated
I love the line from schlatt at the end
I was wondering if anyone would catch that...
I just saw your sub count and im still in shock as to how noone has found your channel yet
RIP minecraft storymode 😭
did u play cytooxien only up?
This is way too high quality for someone with less than 900 subscribers. You'll go far, my friend.
I feel old now, knowing that 1.18 was 2019. It felt like only a year ago. Also I remember crying my eyes out when Ruben died in episode 5.
That's because 1.18 released during 2021.
