It's not just modpacks though.

There's like a whole new wave of minecraft youtubers who's content exclusively revolves around chillmaxxing the vibes of nostalgic minecraft.

TL;DR: Play games how you want to, not how other people say.

It's funny to watch some people tell you how it's meant to be played and whotnot, by looking exclusively at certain snapshots (not literal) of the development history that were at most for a MONTH in existence before the game changed again.

But like the whole point of the game is that you play it how you want to, not how others tell you to?

Then there are the people who are bored because they min/maxed too much. Then there are the people who look at it from a game design point of view far too much (game mechanics abuse, boss fight design and progression).

Both those crowds I feel see it more like an RPG to get through rather than a journey to be experienced. At least the discourse makes it feel like that.

Minecraft is one of those universal sit down and do anything games that nearly anyone can play, which is why the niche internet people probably complain about it too much. It's not hyper specialised to them anymore.

i havent watched this video so like no hate but why do minecraft modpacks sound like "we need to go back" trad memes sometimes

#minecraft #these are the opinions of someone who still plays Beta 1.4 almost ecclusively btw #also the modding scene is great but sucks at the same time #mostly thanks to java #but that's an entirely different thing #also microsoft killed the modding scene on bedrock edition #in favour of the marketplace #yippee!!!!#I don't think it's surprising that minecraft discourse as died on YouTube (again)#i think that was a mini rant?#man it's a video gaaame #also the types of youtubers im talking about i have watched quite a fair bit of #nothing against them at all #in fact i get why they like to play the game like this #but i just find it interesting that their videos almost tell the viewer how to play a video game like a walkthrough but not really #IDK MAYBE ITS A ME ISSUE #me just being weird about watching youtube #also do please use this as an example of how insane the minecraft discourse can get (as in me. not the people im talking about)#I will say that watching some of these videos did change the way i think of and play some games now though #its a take away what you want from it experience
