Why Minecraft Isn't Fun Anymore

If they didn't discontinue the og version for bedrock I'd buy a playstation or xbox just to play again. I remember playing on the Ps3 back in 2015 - 2018. Don't get me wrong the game had bugs but they were fun to fix not to mention really nostalgic.

Roman 3:23
"...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..."

Roman 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord."

John 3:16
" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

if the only problem is that the game is too easy just make it harder yourself
try playing hardcore with only one hand or never use diamonds or never use tools better than stone
unless an ore doenst drop with stone

just play Vintage Story

make it into a mod so we can enjoy this nobel price winning idea

The diamond bit is a bit misguided.
While yes they generate more, it is scaled with how deep you are in the world, and while the caves are bigger, Mojang balanced them by making diamonds rarer when exposed to air, so it's not really as clear cut as "it's easier".

And the proposed level scaling here have issues with locking netherite behind the dragon, it would result in a lot of players speedrunning the dragon to actually be able to get the netherite.

I think the progression should first be changed before considering level scaling:
- Revamp entirely the dragon fight to be more enjoyable and challegening
- Lock the dragon behind items that have to be found in Ancient Cities, while yes it's a difficult area, it's not an area you have to fight your way through (which several people misunderstand).
- Rework entirely how enchanting works to rebalance, 1.20.2 experimental changes to villagers is a good step but it cannot be done in a vacuum like it is currently, it needs a total enchanting rework.

A lot of the issues MC has is because people are not given a reason to take the game a little bit more slowly to take more time in their progression, like why try to repair tools instead of creating massive trading halls if the cost to repair tools is absurdely high with a limited amount of repairs? (please abolish the repair cost penalty already)

The core of the issue is a lot of things are done in a vacuum and are not considered with an overall view.
Except the nether update, that one was good.

Maybe adding more mobs, more bosses to fight, more weapons, more armors ,more pets and minerals could be the way to go.
Every update basically adds so little that it's not worth it to wait for it.
Great, mojang added reskinned boats and two-seat-horses, what now?

nah I think its just because we all grew up and we dont have that spark that we used to like all little kids do, its just not interesting to us anymore.

it is fun u can swich versions its supposed to be a game were the only limit is your imagination

No. It's not fun anymore because its lost is simplicity and creativity. And its lost its mystery. Every update adds more crap to the game. There's a block for everything now. Imagination has gone. Things are added now purely for decoration and serve no other function. A good example is the piston. Useless on its own it takes ingenuity to make a cool redstone contraption with it. It takes creativity to turn it upside down to make a bar stall. Adding 47 different coloured clay or a lectern requires nothing. These additions only suck the creative side of the game out. As for mystery they seem intent on making Minecraft Earth but square. Minecraft was never meant to be Earth. Stop adding Earthly biomes and ripping off Mo Creatures. Wow a Panda that adds to the game that feels like it belongs. Look it sneezes guys remember that meme from 10 years ago! Ironically that new mob idk what its called the weird Banther looking thing is the most Minecrafty thing they've come up with in years. The games in the hands of people who no longer get it. The phantoms are the epitome of why its all wrong now. The thrill of Minecraft was the adventuring, racing back when it gets dark, watching the sunset and the weird eerie beauty of the empty world. Staying out in the rain and dark working through the night to finish that build. Now you stay up too long loud obnoxious flying creature punish you for it. Completely and utterly missing the point.

Creepers can't catch you anymore since players can run. To make matters worse....you can run through creepers and survive the blast with minimal to no damage.

What if all armor simply makes you slower?


I mis Notch.

Minecraft was at its prime at late 2019 for me

Because people are playing the game the wrong way
It's sandbox game. Build do whatever you want
Not killing the dragon

I actually agree with pretty much everything said here. Terraria was always complicated for me as a kid but as I grew to understand it I started to like it more. I tried before playing it like minecraft but you simply can’t. Beautiful.

I recently discovered the Better Than Adventure mod for Beta 1.7 and also Vintage Story, I too had been getting bored with recent MC updates and longed for some old-school gameplay.
I also downloaded a couple of old mod packs Technic/Tekkit 1.2.5 and Yogbox (OG version) - rediscovering what made me fall in love with the game all those years ago has been lots of fun.

The best thing about Minecraft is that all the versions are available to play any time, don't like 1.20, fire up an older version and play that.

Minecraft’s kinda dying, it was always fine until they started trying

*this video is not sponsored by Terraria*

It's kinda absurd how shallow and out of touch that video is, the fact that it's an entire analysis of minecraft made from the point of view of a linear plot driven game is ridiculous. What are the main points to take away here, making the game longer is inherently better? Adding tedium is akin to adding difficulty?

And one of the big suggestions is to make it more linear? Really?
How the hell is liking those vids?

Bro Minecraft is more fun with updates (:

Minecraft is now a shit game. pvp is fucking dogshit and depends on who can get the best mouse. The game is boring and terrible.

i fuckin love your commentary flow dude

The only real reason that I play minecraft to enjoy its freedomness and creative world with amazing creatures that I've never imagined. After a long day with essays, homeworks,exams pressure,... By playing minecraft, I've found the freedomness I have lost, discovering the world wildly just like in my childhood. I think that minecraft shouldn't add anymore progression into the game and add mods instead.

Tbh creating challenges and create what your imagination wants is the meaning of minecraft.

O my god its an absolute true

i first played minecraft in 2019 but after 1.17 it just got boring playing it alone

As someone who’s been trying to beat the game on hard since the Xbox 360 edition came out, when you couldn’t even beat the game, and now I play on ps5 and still haven’t beat the game, I couldn’t relate 😂

In my opinion ever since Minecraft on consoles permanently has bedrock its what makes the game downright terrible whenever i want to build something the speed is terrible pretty much making building annoying the game has to much lag music keeps bugging out to be fair bedrock turns the game into a different experience which i dont like since i play Minecraft only to build stuff now i can't experiment with the new items cause the way bedrock works sure its nice of the devs to make an option to return back to editions but honestly we need java for consoles cause its pretty much not broken or glitchy unlike bedrock.

Getting hired by Mojang when?

Played Minecraft for 8 years never killed the enderdragon😭 JUST BC I CANT FIND FORTERST

I literally searched "bored of minecraft" and your video came up. First one i ever watched. Your video was insightful, humerous and contained content that I would consider (as a minecraft player of more than 10 years) beneficial to the enhancement of the game as a whole. I agree with everything you said in this video. Especially that chest boats should die. You sir have earned a sub.

The only way to save Minecraft is for Microsoft to realize that its the modding/plug-in communities that are keeping their game alive and to cater to that group. Minecraft needs to become a building block, something that developers can expand without having to use spigot/paper/forge/etc. Core to the game needs to be better character customization with server profiles, so that servers can lock a server to a specific genre. Microsoft needs to give developers an easy way to add blocks without having to create a mod, to add creatures without having to utilize mods/plug-ins. Plugs to allow developers to control the UI without having to use paper/spigot/etc. and a way for servers/developers to make money beyond donations or universal perks maybe with a low royalty agreement, or a annual license to give servers better ability to profit and build larger community games. But the focus needs to be on the community/developers and to stop maintaining everything behind a walled garden that has to be pierced by developers to be able to create all the great servers they they can currently create like Wynncraft, etc. If Hytale works with the community/developers when its released, it'll kill Minecraft.

microsoft ruined the game, when it was notch and a small mojang it was random updates that just added things for fun. Now we get frogs, swamp update. Its simply lost its charm

Agree with a lot of this video and thanks for posting it. For me personally and idk if people agree with me or not. But i really liked that every in game structure had something unique to it for example:

Mineshafts was a place to get pumpking seeds and melon seeds so when you found one of those you were on a quest to find those items and use them in your base. It feels fulflling to find those items and incorporate them into your base. Same with dungeons. Dungeons hade coca beans which was the only place to find them while i like the idea of being able to farm them i think that you only should find them in dungeons and not in the jungle. And obviously strongholds was the place to get to the end. Horsearmor could only be found in different structure chests which is cool in my opinion. I think it was stuff like these that made the game cool and have a "side progression" for me. And they have ruined it by adding a bunch of structures that dont offer any unique and cool like the way mineshafts did. The new structures mostly gives you a bunch of what is already implemented in the game. And like you said the game has become so much easier and i think the structures they added was a huge part of that too. Such ashame i love the structures but some of them was so poorly executed into the game and made it so boring. Hopefully it will be fixed in the future somehow :(

Mojang is nerfing Villger trading in the next update and slapping certain enchants to specific biomes

Jetstarfish: thats why i want to talk about the p#### update

Or maybe it's boring because we have all been playing the same game for 13 years lol

I really like the idea of a more complex fighting system integrated into the world, but I hate the idea of progression and mobs that spawn after you do something. In my opinion, the extremely difficult should already be around, they should be something you have to hide from most of the game. Instead of making certain regions unlock because you beat a certain boss (extremely annoying) Mojang should give them specific items that are either useful on their own, or allow you to craft new items. One example Would be dragon scales that allow you to make an ender kiln capable of crafting stuff with netherite. 
Another would be to add the Aether mod to vanilla, add an electricity boss, and have it drop like a generator or a battery or something that is charged by lightning (lightning rod and copper cable connect to it) which can do something with copper. (I like the idea of having copper as both an early game and a late game material)

Like minecraft isnot boring its just that were to used to play it and after 12 years of course its gonna be boring everthing you need is a break to make you hyped again

It just feels like woth every update they have been making progression just more annoying for the average player. I do not have 12 hours per day to go and find all of the netherite upgrades i need. And honestly that's fine at this point. But the villager trade rebalance is gonna make the average player never use villagers ever. Cause i would need to spend 10 hours just trying to wrangle villagers from 50 different biomes just so i can have a proper trading hall. Which mind you won't even have max level enchantments and i would be forced to use the stupid anvil which goes to Too expensive real quick when combining so it's just plain old annoying. I rellay hope they rework it and not introduce the rebalance as it is currently

I only play minecraft like 5 times in a year and its only to go and build in creative, so nothing really changes the way I look at the game.

the chest boat is the best it is the only thing you can store in it in a flying machine

Tbh this probably the only "Why minecraft isn't fun anymore" vid I actually enjoy honestly (I mean there was another one but that was way before caves and cliffs)

I think you're forgetting one thing...Minecraft is a sandbox game. The point is CREATIVITY. Not progression. Locking features behind the ender dragon is just...not what Minecraft is about. It undermines the players who don't want to fight the dragon, and doesn't add anything interesting to the players who do.
If you want it to be all about progression, speedrun it. If you want it to be harder, download a mod or do self-imposed challenge runs. But Minecraft vanilla should always be about how the player wants to play. If Minecraft was intending to be a roguelike or metroidvania, then sure, you'd have some issues. But it's not. It's a SANDBOX.

As someone who uses chest boats for a valid reason. I can confirm that I should kill MYSELF.

it's because it's now all about beating the game

Gold armor is actually the most enchantable armour in the game. Its just that gold is incredibly weak and you can always get the same enchant with other armours if you just put it a little extra work. So i think gold should be a bit more special. First, it should be stronger (gold shouldn't be comparable to leather bruh). A bit more armour bars durability and damage that should be slightly under iron but still should be sufficiently weak that most would ask, why? Well this is where enchants come in. A new enchant system should be created. Lets say you want prot 4 on a leather chestplate, oh, it only has a 20% chance of success or it will break. What about diamond and netherite. Nice, 80-90%. Gold is the only armour in the game with a 100% success chance. As well, gold has the benefit of getting higher level enchants. Oh sh!t, protection 5!? Efficiency 7?? Sharpness 8!?! Unbreaking 5!! Which would give it a good buff in my opinion. Ohhhhh, but isn't that too expensive with exp and all that. Has the same exp cost as their other armours max level exp cost and plus, it isn't so hard to get. Also if durability is still a problem, the broken enchant of mending still exists 😐.
