#OH MY GOD I HAVE SEEN SO MANY RPG STYLED MODPACKS THAT TRY AND REVAMP COMBAT

FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT! I have ranted and raved about minecraft and my gripes with it for years and every time I always come back to the same conclusion: "minecraft is a perfect sandbox to make your own fun and I can't have fun without being given a goal." It is entirely a personal problem, that's the point! I still have a lot of other smaller nagging complaints and I can still have fun with minecraft when I'm in the mood for a self driven game, but I have the most fun when I am given a goal and vanilla minecraft can't do that. It's asking for fish from a tree. It just can't deliver on that.

A lot of "Minecraft is BAD" videos are really annoying because, like, there's actually a lot of things that could use fixing, yes, but you're just trying to turn this into 3D Terraria. I think a lot of people who make these videos forget that most Minecraft players are intrinsically motivated, rather than extrinsically. It's a sandbox game at heart, the vanilla experience does not need highly-controlled level progression.
