Alpha was a beautiful thing.

I spent so many endless hours just digging a hole and building a giant fortress full of storage rooms.

Dwarf Fortress has managed to give me the feeling that MineCraft used to on a broader scale. So, I guess i don't care that MineCraft was ruined.

>>318294475
Nothing. It was the game's destiny to turn into cancer. The concept is far too similar to Lego and the art style is too childish which is why it attracts lots of children. These children slowly poisoned the community, making the adults leave. Now it's about 90% children. And anyone who knows just a little bit about business knows that the customer dictates the market which is why Minecraft adapted to the desires of prepubescent children.

I swear to God when I first started playing there was this weird pre-made little wooden shed/house. I always thought it was normal until many years later I posted about it and anons said there was no such thing.

It was really weird and I know nobody will ever believe me. Only one who saw it also was my friend but he's dead.

I've done so much research trying to find another example but there isn't anything.
Makes me wish I can go back in time and save that world or something.

Just remember, you all paid with your own money for an unfinished alpha version game and Notch is now sitting in the most expensive mansion in LA fucking hot girls every day and laughing at your stupidity.

Notch didn't know what he wanted, so he threw a bunch of "ideas of a game" into it. A survival game, an adventure RPG and legos all into one sandbox.

He then never stuck to any one of these ideas and let them fester as incomplete tumors.

Think about the gameplay progression of minecraft for a moment

>Game starts out as survival
>Fine food, hide in dirt
>Build a house, build a farm
>survival ends here, nothing that spawns at night can do shit anymore
>Game clumsily enters adventure state
>mine up resources with the goal of decking yourself out in rpg gear.
>Go explore shit and find "dungeons" that all look the same with random rewards
>go into the nether with the goal of making potions
>Then go find the fortress to enter the end and kill the ender dragon

There is no direction here, it's just a garbage bin of ideas of what the game could have bin.

The question is, what should it have been? should it have been a randomly generated adventure game with loads of dungeon types and biomes? Should it have been a survival game where you must build and protect territory? Should it simply have been virtual legos with loads of mechanics ?

There are Sponges in Survival now, but you have to loot them from Ocean Monuments, a relatively new feature.
And to even survive in those, you'll have to do a metric ton of enchanting and potion brewing thanks to the fact it's underwater, you get Mining Fatigue until the "bosses" are killed and the mobs in there, Guardians, can attack from afar.

Once all of the game mechanics of minecraft survival mode have been mastered, there's not much else to experience.

I remember back during the days before regenerating health, I was extremely terrified of the opposing monsters, and had built overworld lighted tunnels so that every path I walked had no possibility of a monster coming from behind or front. Each piece of ore and block felt very precious as it wasn't a matter of finding them, but a challenge to return back to my fortress in order to see their safe storage. Every cobblestone block felt valuable as it was another contribution to my stronghold's defense against monster spawns.

Now, much has changed. Monsters don't feel very threatening anymore. I knew how to better handle the monster encounters, and thus every monster in the game felt non-threatening. I got better at finding ores, which resulted me making a set of iron armor, a luxury which before I felt was not worth the cost of the work it took to get the materials, now able to be made en masse with little effort. Most of my minecraft sessions would begin and end with myself digging a straight line at layer 12 in search for diamonds, as there's fewer methods for more efficient diamond harvesting. At this point in time, my time with minecraft felt more of a combat against luck rather than combat against monsters and the wilderness.

Not satisfied with endless existence unchallenged, I decided to try a new idea: beat the game from start to finish without ever settling into a house or sleeping in a bed once. I deemed this challenge the nomad run. It proved to be very fun. The tension of defeat had once again returned, and I felt thrills from survival mode again, however...

I ended up completing my nomad run challenge. Several times.

After each subsequent run, my feelings of tension lessened. Just like my sessions where I dug endlessly for diamonds, these nomad runs felt like I was at the mercy of luck rather than my survival skills.

Eventually I would cease playing the game altogether only returning to play survival mode online with friends in realms. This proved fun for a while, as I felt building impressive collaborative buildings was far more fun than the grind for survival. Knowing that something I made would be seen and judged by someone else felt more interactive and unpredictable of an experience.

This led to some frustrations, as my friend always desired to completely abandon our current world and start over again. I would tolerate this for a while, but eventually I no longer could tolerate seeing my creations that I had spent hours on making in a multiplayer server disappear.

After another period of minecraft hiatus, I would approach the same friend again, and suggest playing the game again, except this time in collaborative creative mode.

After that session was experienced, I had came to the conclusion that creative mode was the only gamemode left for me in minecraft. The only joys I am able to experience with the game is building megalomaniac sculptures with blocks, and creative mode allows me to do that uninhibited. The way I see it, the combat and exploration in its vanilla state has its limits, but creating structures with myself and others I feel has limitless possibilities.

In conclusion, I don't think anything with minecraft has went terribly wrong, I think that players have become exceedingly skilled with the game, resulting in a stagnant experience. The game has not changed, you have simply gotten better, and there's nothing left that minecraft can challenge you with.

Give it an actual "base" to build off of. The biggest issue I see with minecraft is that there's no direction for it to go besides a glorified building simulator. Maybe focus more on the "mine" part of the game and add in some sort of gemcrafting system, where you can go and dig up certain minerals and work with them to create powerful jewels to socket into armor or something. You could combine jewels to power them up and create all sorts of combinations of abilities. Something like that.
