This is ironically the opposite of what most people go through, at least from what I've seen. Usually people who have these "Minecraft is boring" opinions are survival mode players who focus way too hard on the game's progression, and don't realize that the point of the game is to let your imagination run wild.

@@JoachimVampire Yeah, I get that. Burnout is completely normal, especially if you've been playing the game for over 10 years. I just don't like when people mistake burnout as the game itself getting worse.
I was so bored of constantly doing farms and shit, I was a hardcore farm automation player for many years but one day I decided to just ignore redstone and complicated farms and have fun I mined a chunk to get materials to build a castle, was really fun to mine only one instead of a 9x9 grid for a witch farm
I feel like having the right attitude makes a big difference. I recently started a new world and decided to focus on building very small things and not be too ambitious. I’m a over a week in on working on a small woodland cabin and I’m still far from done, but it’s so fun to try to build small cute things, and not care about strictly game mechanical things. I also find trying to role play also makes it more fun (for instance, don’t just place a smelter, build something that actually looks like an oven or something).
In my world, I decided to start in a very early version of minecraft and update it to current day, along with gathering interesting terrain, unique items and mobs described as "Minecraft Discontinued Features" (see the mcdf wiki). I've got large long term projects and small projects, and collecting the items for each version and snapshots. One thing I've found is that typically when I take a break from the world, it's because something felt so tedious and time consuming that I didn't actually want to do it, like collecting some items or mobs that could take many hours, and I couldn't update to the next version if I wanted to get them. Eventually I've realized when I'm at this point for an update, I should just skip the thing I want and move on to the next update. It makes it feel like I'm making progress, whereas if I spend too much time trying to get that item, it progress feels like it's at a standstill, and playing can get a bit stale. Even if the item/mob/whatever was really cool, it can be hard to justify putting so much time into it when I can instead feel like I'm moving forward. Even if it means cutting off the thing I wanted, making it no longer obtainable in that world.
your idea was flawless. i always made world to beat the game, but after watching this video, i finally made a world just for the hell of it. no worries, no beating the game, just gather the resources and do whatever the fuck you want. lets see how long this survival world will last.
i was so scared in the middle of this video that i would devolve into the usual "new minecraft baaad" trend, but it positvely surprised me in the end ...in the end, if im honest, as much as i dislike the beta elitists (i mean i get it, but they dont have to be pricks about it you know), there is no wrong way to play minecraft... if you wanna play new vanilla - good if you wanna play old beta - good if you wanna play only creative - good if you wanna play modden - good if you wanna play survival multiplayer -good if you wanna play mostly multiplayer minigames-- go.. you get what i mean its a sandbox afterall...
I've always viewed Minecraft as not just either a survival nor sandbox game, but rather, an experimentation system, with mods, servers, adventure packs, command blocks, SO much more. It's great to know you're starting to now grow your love for the game. I'm trying to RE-grow it. Just remember that Minecraft is always gonna have a large community and a spot on TH-cam. It's not like Among Us where you play it for a few months & leave. It's not gonna be a fading memory if large TH-camrs don't talk about it anymore. Minecraft has some of the largest replay values than most games of its time & to this day. Also, perfect choice on Prism Launcher. It's the only correct launcher in my opinion. If you were to get a chance, Luanti (formerly Minetest) is another great option. That one IS more of an engine, so if you play it, then I'd suggest installing VoxeLibre (formerly MineClone 2). It's a VERY close approximation of modern Minecraft, and even has quirks that exist in newer versions of the game.
The thing all those videos about how Minecraft is boring get wrong is that you don't HAVE to play the most recent version. You can play the game however you want, and that is what makes it special
bro. wait till you try multiplayer. that takes everything to a whole new level. not just with pvp like bedwars or bridge, but even mmos like wynncraft or skyblock, pixelmon, etc. definately my favorite part of minecraft
Multiplayer survivak is my favorite way to play Minecraft, specially if the community of the server is nice. Being able to build a town or move into a town in Minecraft is so awesome
I think something that people forget about Minecraft is that, it's not JUST a survival / creative game. Sure if you are missing an internet connection or simply want to play the *default* game, that's all it is. Some people may like the newer versions with more structures and revamped dimensions to explore, others may like the simplicity of earlier versions, and that's okay. But you've got multiplayer, mods, datapacks, custom maps, all that stuff. If you are tired of building wooden huts in survival, you can hop over to a puzzle map like "Confusing Cubes," get a challenge datapack like "Chunklock," or play on one of the many multiplayer servers with friends. If you look at something like Terraria, sure there are adventure maps and multiplayer servers, but they are pretty limited on what they can do since Terraria doesn't have command blocks or datapacks. So it's mostly what you get from the base game or TModLoader.
Try out maps, they change enough of the game to maybe make it unique. I recommend searching a CTM (complete the monument) map. Ragecraft IV and Final Paradox are two recent really good ones (both may be better in multiplayer if you wanna play with someone)
I started around 8 years ago on TLauncher (Asian parents don't understand the difference between games and *_games_* ) and it was pretty annoying at first, but my dopamine deprived brain would go crazy after seeing a few diamond ores. I literally played with the laptop mouse cursor cuz I didn't have a mouse. Skip to covid and pretty much everyone had time to play games now, so after classes all we'd do was grinding in our own SMP on aternos. Then we'd play some bedwars or some shit in the Hypixel copycat servers. I've been watching Minecraft content my whole life too so it just feels like home now. That experience is the reason Minecraft will truly be the most nostalgic game for me, and this might sound cheesy but it's not about the progress or achievements, it's about the memories we made along the way.
@@callyral One is actual real games that have some or no replay value and were actually made with a lot of effort, and the other is pay to win/scam games with a lot of in-app purchases and get you addicted for life, meanwhile the game content itself isn't interesting at all with no effort put in whatsoever. The other category of games are often free so some parents don't understand that you're not wasting money on a game, it's just like watching a movie or going to a park, and the experience is much longer and permanent with games.
people overhate the new updates due to the little content, but the reason they have a smaller amount of content is because of the community. mojang tries to make the new updates feel minecraft-y to not upset the community for going too far from the games roots, but theres only so much you can do. if the community was less harsh about "modded" looking features like the warden or 1.16 nether, mojang could really step up their game.
I don't think that's actually that big of a problem. People at least for the most part didn't care about fresh stuff. Especially the nether update is probably the best received one ever. The cracks started at 1.15 when mojang released the *bugs* and bees update. People didn't understand that this was a performance and bug fixing update (for 1.16 and prob 1.17) and complained about the lack of features. That was quickly forgotten again after the new nether dropped tho. Then everyone got giga hyped about the 1.17 announcements and that was mistake number one by mojang. I wanna be clear a very normal mistake that imo shouldn't be a big deal. They underestimated the work and prioritized quality over quantity. Update got split in 3 to 4 updates, 1.18 had no new items, 1.19 should've been 1.17 and so on...plus the bundle and archeology fiasco. Mistake number two was the stupid trouble around fireflies and birch forests. That just was poorly handled and that combined with the sentiment at that time pointed a new picture of mojang for many. Which is if you ask me completely exaggerated. What happened was mojang failed to properly estimate the work required on an update. They went from getting Hype to hate. Ofc this stung devs there. A mistake they surely don't wanna repeat. So I'm not surprised we haven't seen Themed updates since then. People didn't shut up and the memes didn't stop so they felt like having to introduce game drops...which I feel like isn't the greatest idea coz idk how they're able to implement bigger things equivalent to the nether update ever again with that concept. Also imo it wasn't necessary. Mojang should have some balls and deliver again coz they exactly know how. Unfortunately that may take a few years with new people on board. Anyway that was my over analysis 07
After 10 years of playing Minecraft actively, nowadays, I only play multiplayer and modpacks with friends. This video is the iceberg meme, cause once you start digging, the iceberg is quite big.
Try Constantiam, it's a free server that is anarchy and that never ends, so you must hide your base, but you can also steal from the bases of the others, be an explorer, even a griefer. The world is so large you can quickly be the first on the server to explore a new area. At the moment people are building highways to reach the world border, others just play solo or in team. It's online since many years so there are tons of things and places to explore or find/make.
'Why would I work harder to get the blocks I could just have in creative mode' is like asking 'Why would I want to play the game?' The "work" you do to get the blocks to build the cool stuff is the whole point. Those adventures you have going out to search for the treasures that will make your world better. The epic quest to find a mangrove biome for that sweet reddish wood. Getting chased through a mineshaft by a thousand spiders because you were looking for string so you could fill a room with candles. Creeping through the Nether in search of a nether fortress for blaze rods because you want to set up a brewing stand for night vision potions so you can finally explore that ancient city. Exploring the ancient city, setting off the Warden, and running screaming like a terrified child. The variety between gathering and building and whatever farm/village chores you decide you want to do on the regular is how the game stays interesting. You load in, and whatever you're in the mood for on that day, you set off to knock that off the to-do list and see what kind of sidetracks you wind up on.
Currently addicted to playing BTA on my occasional spare time. I started out just thinking about building small stuff for the heck of it, now I'm building an enormous railroad to connect 2 villages I built very far apart. The whole process of planning where the road will go, gathering resources, digging through mountains and seeing the whole project slowly taking form has brought me a kind of joy that I haven't felt from anything else in recent times.
Hey one of the contributor of FO here, FO actually support more modern version, it just doesn't have all the features because some mods are a lot of work and not yet finalized But if you don't use stuff like shaders or ressource packs that need OptiFine features, you should be fine to use those On a personal note i'm happy that you have found your way in minecraft It's different for everyone indeed I recommend you to try multiplayer in a small group of friends but also maybe on a bigger server and maybe even try some minigames on Hypixel or on MCC Island Also it's great that you tried BTA as it give a way different meaning to what is minecraft Same for modding In the end minecraft is just an empty box left by the whole community to fill in Microsoft may own Mojang which "own" the game, but actually it's all of us that make it Now just one last thing, you can enter minecraft, but you can never leave it It's always gonna be spend a few months, leave the game, come back, leave again and it'll never stop As long as there will be smth new or old to discover or rediscover, you'll spend time on it Because it's how minecraft goes
If you have more friends that play minecraft, I suggest that you make your next survival world in a server. Thats your world, your friends can join, but after they stop playing, you still continue in that world. Thats what ive been doing this year. I made my server and friends can join if they feel like even to just hang out. But the things they build will add to your survival experience, and tha feeling of friends adding to your world kinda adds to enjoying the game as you described it in the video
Cool video! I actually had a similar experience with Minecraft growing up, since I was more into Linux than gaming and mostly just stuck to more creative builds or occasionally screwing around in survival with my siblings. I struggled a lot to really get into a survival world, and even tried making a modpack a few years ago to correct a lot of the issues people have (which actually got pretty big though under completely different direction) but the problem with that is you're effectively setting goals for the player rather than letting them set their own, and eventually they're going to run out of things to do, leaving them back where they were with vanilla. What ended up finally getting me into normal-ish survival mode was the mod Alex's Mobs which I installed to build a cozy farm and get away from the grind of playtesting for a while, but since I'd finally started a world with a set goal in mind (and finally started bringing food with me when mining) I quickly found myself really enjoying it and it became my primary way of playing Minecraft. I haven't gotten around to trying Better than Adventure yet, but another favorite mod of mine is (versions prior to 4.60 of) its namesake, Better than Wolves, which I think would be right up your alley since it's basically a medieval-friendly tech tree that adds some more progression to the game while still allowing player freedom.
Amazingly edited! And as a (small) Minecraft TH-camr and lover, I’m glad you found a way to enjoy it! It’s such a versatile game and has so many different ways to play it.
Good on you for giving Minecraft a fair shake. It's really interesting how often we apply an insane amount of emphasis on something that happened when we were kids. I'm glad you enjoy the game and I'm glad you can enjoy the beauty for what it is.
The Quality of Life features in modern Minecraft are exactly why I struggle to enjoy older Minecraft. Its good to hear someone finally mention that about modern Minecraft.
Honestly, I dont play because I cant play with good friends of mine. 5 years back I played vigilantly on a sever named EMC with a plethora of good long term friends whom I still converse with. (and also joined a splinter community of mock goverment on discord which sadly died a slow and painful demise) But sadly that time is long past. Truthfully, I just want to reignite some of the magic that made those experiences of mine so memorable and share it with others to also enjoy. These fleeting moments of bliss oh how i'd like to return but time marches ever forward with no respect to my wishes.
Back in 2017 me and my brother made a theme park called Funland on a superflat world in Xbox 360 Minecraft. However in 2021 the Xbox 360 suddenly stopped working and lost all memory. I liked that theme park world. It had a restaurant, cave ride, water ride, a few roller coasters, rings around the park to fly with elytra through, a hotel, minigame booths, a potion shop, a piggy back riding area, and a secret buried chest with a book and quill inside about Pete the Cat. It was surely grand.
I'm happy for you that you found fun in a new thing. :) I used to be just like you and never gave it a fair chance until the pandemic hits and a friend of mine and me decided to just boot it up and give it a shot. Back then it was Bedrock and we had tons of fun. So much that I now, years later, switched to java and also creating content in form of data packs and contribute to the community. It is really a great, great game.
you need to play multiplayer, play maps, make a map, learn commands, use comands.... I used to be like you, then I become an admin back then in 2017 (I think)... then I close the server close... but it was great!!! have a group of friends, or play alone with mods, you name it. Minecraft is literally infinit. But let me tell you, you should watch a tutorial about how to build bro, those buildings are a little old school, worse than mine lol
During covid I spent a lot of time watching speed runners breaking records on 1.16.1, since then I've had a lot of fun in that version trying to race to the nether to try and replicate part of what I watched. It means I basically do the same thing everytime I get into the game, but seeing as it's proceedural and every world is different, it somehow always ends up in a different experience.
Lol I recently found the mod Terrafirmacraft and now I've got two servers: One that's on a big modpack built around Mekanism and AE2 along with Pneumaticraft and Create, and then one built on a foundation of Terrafirmacraft xD
I remember when i was a kid i went around cleaning people's sidewalk for a bit of money so i could buy Minecraft Now my account is one of the oldest ones, bought the day 1.0 got launched or a day after don't really remember
The game is hard to stick to if you're not the type of person that can create stories out of their mind. That's the hardest part. The rest is building it in legos, playmobils, of Minecraft. I'm not that type of person and I still use Minecraft as a way to learn how to create my own stories.
I never had access to video games when I grew up, so when I discovered Minecraft in 2011 the first thing I did was study the online Wiki and set my first world to "peaceful".
What a fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s really refreshing to see someone start from the “modern Minecraft bad” viewpoint and, in actually giving the game a fair shake, grow to love it.
I'm one of those players people are snobbish about (basically trying to speedrn hardcore worlds to netherite+farms) but I still really enjoy it and find it fun. Obviously the game appeals to a bunch of people for a bunch of reasons, and partly why people get bored of it is because they don't try different aspects of it.
1.20.1 is my personal favorite modern version because I am a modpack builder. 1.12.2 will always hold a special place in my heart though because of the modding heyday.
i love the way you did this video, great job. and i agree 100%. though one side note, the people that say that 1.7.3 was good, are so wrong, it was bad, so bad, awful, but thats what was good, it was such a bad thing that everything you did felt good, it was hard to get somewhere, so when you did it felt way better than nowadays when you can just fly.
I absolutely love survival but one thing I struggle with is being creative. There’s so much blocks to use to the point that it feels as if there’s none
I was in kind of the same position as you as a kid. never really played survival mode and only creative. that was until I found out how to connect to servers and it made survival alot easier cause i could team up with other players and we would help each other out. I honestly learned most of my minecraft knowledge from random people on servers.
I feel likeI'm kinda in the minority in being an old-school gamer who prefers modern minecraft to its classic roots. There are definitely (plenty of) problems with its corporate handling like insane censorship (seriously Mojang, I can’t make a sign that says BREWERY on it in my private, 3-person realm??) and all the shenanigans that come with being owned by a tech giant. BUT, I don’t really see it as directionless or unfocused, because it’s a game about freedom. YOU get to make it the experience you want it to be, and it facilitates that with all kinds of options. And every new thing they add just gives you more and more options to play the way you like. :)
Survival, adventure, exploration, progression... are excuses to play in the world you customize. They bring immersion. You don't get that in creative. But still, the point of the game is to build, and it looks like at Mojang, they forget that. At least most of the time. They just give more blocks, and don't care much about actual building QoL and progression. Also, a good environment brings immersion. Just a few mobs and plants in each of their 10 000 biomes won't do. I keep on playing it since it's the best building game so far, but alternatives are on the way (Vintage Story, Tesera, Lay of the land... Hytale one day...)
in 2013 i thought Minecraft was the dumbest, most pointless game ever... in 2014 Minecraft was the only game i played and was my most favorite game ever
Every other Friday evening I meet with my friends in person and we do stuff together. Rarely we start Minecraft and we play together. For example one week ago we did that. I think there has not been one instance where we stopped playing at a reasonable time. For example last Friday I kicked them out of my house at 4 in the morning. I think Minecraft is a great game, even though I rarely play it myself. One reason for that is that my biggest world turned laggy and I never really got invested into a new world. If we talk about old versions I like beta 1.5 the best. Mostly because it is the newest version that still allows for booster minecarts. I'm so sad that this feature got removed.
i love your videos so much. i hope you can find some growth soon because you really deserve it. the effort and care you put into every single project is unmatched for a channel of your size. incredible creator, i wish you only the best.
Ok, great video... But if you do get bored of minecraft again... That fine... There a quote from the infiniminer (the game that inspired Minecraft build system) creator that I will try to carry if me for as long I can, that it *will never be the "greatest game of all time", and if it exist you can still get bored... And that ok...
Bro really nobody cares about you and your video nowadays but it's rare to see videos like yours to blow which I like and I like watching old school type videos
i remember back in the day on pocket edition when every easter me and my cousins and friends would make an smp or continue the previous years one. i also had a few singleplayer worlds and even a creative one where i messed around with redstone and dabbled in some multiplayer mostly prison servers. after getting a laptop for university i only play java and mostly multiplayer. specifically i play hypixel skyblock for about 3 years and every once in a while i play a modpack. after getting access to java mc survival never really appealed to me. i think the lack of direction turns me off and probably a big reason why i play (the very very grindy) hypixel skyblock and questing modpacks
Minecraft survival nowadays is a terrible game of itself, but allows for incredible capabilities for creating and modding! Just the sheer amounts of modding you can do: building, command blocks, datapacks, plugins, mods - possibilities are truly endless. You mentioned Better Than Adventures as a great game branch, I would also recommend Better Than Wolves: it's the same idea, but prioritizes survival over creative aspects. It's often regarded as a "hardest mod", but it's honestly just challenging. Once you breach past "hunger games" (which usually takes a lot of attempts) it's a very interesting streamlined progression!
Minecraft Survival Mode might seem terrible if you look at it as a progression first gamemode, but that's not what survival mode, or Minecraft in general is about. It's about letting your creativity run wild, and survival mode is just a way to structure that creativity.
@FlushDesert22 thats exactly what im talking. Sure, building is great, but if you want to actually play it as a game and not home depot simulator it gets boring suprisingly fast
@@white_145 I didn't know building games weren't games. "it gets boring suprisingly fast" Tell that to litterally every Minecraft speedrunner. I really hate when people act like everyone has the exact same experience as they do, especially if their experiences are dictated by their tastes and how they vibe with a certain thing.
@FlushDesert22 minecraft speedrunning is literally playing through the only 2.5 progression steps (or more like skipping them) as fast as you can. The point is, you can be as creative as you want, but the SURVIVAL part most definetely sucks whichever way you look at it. Building games do exist, but minecraft is not one of them, clearly having more to it than "just build"
Can't believe this videos doesn't have MINIMUM 1000 views, I know it will have them, just that this video is awesome and I hope a lot of people can see this, didn't knew an older version had so much support from the community, will check it out, awesome video C:

Agreed - I never consistently returned to the game unless it was in multiplayer. Creative Servers, old Hypixel, etc etc :D
@@stellaanderson570 cubekrowd goes HARDDDD
@xrooze also don't forget the just the fact to play in a survival multiplayer with your friend, at least for me it the best way to play
>Minecraft was booming
>I tried it. It was meh
>And then beta 1.7.3(+BTA)
well now that I watched a Minecraft video I'm going to go play for a week, get bored, and repeat the cycle
Multiplayer survivak is my favorite way to play Minecraft, specially if the community of the server is nice. Being able to build a town or move into a town in Minecraft is so awesome
Proofreading is a thing.
8:29 that little tilt before the speech is pretty cute
17:45 that's so sick btw
I think something that people forget about Minecraft is that, it's not JUST a survival / creative game. Sure if you are missing an internet connection or simply want to play the *default* game, that's all it is. Some people may like the newer versions with more structures and revamped dimensions to explore, others may like the simplicity of earlier versions, and that's okay.
But you've got multiplayer, mods, datapacks, custom maps, all that stuff. If you are tired of building wooden huts in survival, you can hop over to a puzzle map like "Confusing Cubes," get a challenge datapack like "Chunklock," or play on one of the many multiplayer servers with friends.
If you look at something like Terraria, sure there are adventure maps and multiplayer servers, but they are pretty limited on what they can do since Terraria doesn't have command blocks or datapacks. So it's mostly what you get from the base game or TModLoader.
Try out maps, they change enough of the game to maybe make it unique.
I recommend searching a CTM (complete the monument) map. Ragecraft IV and Final Paradox are two recent really good ones (both may be better in multiplayer if you wanna play with someone)
I started around 8 years ago on TLauncher (Asian parents don't understand the difference between games and *_games_* ) and it was pretty annoying at first, but my dopamine deprived brain would go crazy after seeing a few diamond ores. I literally played with the laptop mouse cursor cuz I didn't have a mouse. Skip to covid and pretty much everyone had time to play games now, so after classes all we'd do was grinding in our own SMP on aternos. Then we'd play some bedwars or some shit in the Hypixel copycat servers. I've been watching Minecraft content my whole life too so it just feels like home now. That experience is the reason Minecraft will truly be the most nostalgic game for me, and this might sound cheesy but it's not about the progress or achievements, it's about the memories we made along the way.
wdym by games and _games_
@@callyral One is actual real games that have some or no replay value and were actually made with a lot of effort, and the other is pay to win/scam games with a lot of in-app purchases and get you addicted for life, meanwhile the game content itself isn't interesting at all with no effort put in whatsoever. The other category of games are often free so some parents don't understand that you're not wasting money on a game, it's just like watching a movie or going to a park, and the experience is much longer and permanent with games.
people overhate the new updates due to the little content, but the reason they have a smaller amount of content is because of the community. mojang tries to make the new updates feel minecraft-y to not upset the community for going too far from the games roots, but theres only so much you can do. if the community was less harsh about "modded" looking features like the warden or 1.16 nether, mojang could really step up their game.
People also act like litterally every new feature has to have a use for survival mode.
I don't think that's actually that big of a problem. People at least for the most part didn't care about fresh stuff. Especially the nether update is probably the best received one ever.
The cracks started at 1.15 when mojang released the *bugs* and bees update. People didn't understand that this was a performance and bug fixing update (for 1.16 and prob 1.17) and complained about the lack of features.
That was quickly forgotten again after the new nether dropped tho.
Then everyone got giga hyped about the 1.17 announcements and that was mistake number one by mojang. I wanna be clear a very normal mistake that imo shouldn't be a big deal.
They underestimated the work and prioritized quality over quantity. Update got split in 3 to 4 updates, 1.18 had no new items, 1.19 should've been 1.17 and so on...plus the bundle and archeology fiasco.
Mistake number two was the stupid trouble around fireflies and birch forests. That just was poorly handled and that combined with the sentiment at that time pointed a new picture of mojang for many.
Which is if you ask me completely exaggerated.
What happened was mojang failed to properly estimate the work required on an update. They went from getting Hype to hate. Ofc this stung devs there. A mistake they surely don't wanna repeat.
So I'm not surprised we haven't seen Themed updates since then.
People didn't shut up and the memes didn't stop so they felt like having to introduce game drops...which I feel like isn't the greatest idea coz idk how they're able to implement bigger things equivalent to the nether update ever again with that concept.
Also imo it wasn't necessary.
Mojang should have some balls and deliver again coz they exactly know how. Unfortunately that may take a few years with new people on board.
Anyway that was my over analysis 07
The update would've been cool if it contained something useful and worthwhile outside of 10+ building blocks
@@slim5816 This 100%. Also, the exact same thing that happened with 1.15 happened with The Wild Update.
I'm glad this game eventually grew on you. We all learn to love things at different paces.
Welcome abord the endless enjoyment of the game ^^
Dude I'm not the only one making chicken bombs when in creative mode lol? I get distracted when recording voice overs for my videos XD
17:46 I see what you did there... I loved the presentation of your thesis 10/10 peak literature
After 10 years of playing Minecraft actively, nowadays, I only play multiplayer and modpacks with friends. This video is the iceberg meme, cause once you start digging, the iceberg is quite big.
Try Constantiam, it's a free server that is anarchy and that never ends, so you must hide your base, but you can also steal from the bases of the others, be an explorer, even a griefer. The world is so large you can quickly be the first on the server to explore a new area. At the moment people are building highways to reach the world border, others just play solo or in team. It's online since many years so there are tons of things and places to explore or find/make.
Been playing on my switch and I’m starting to enjoy the new caves and mobs makes the game feel much more lively and rich
'Why would I work harder to get the blocks I could just have in creative mode' is like asking 'Why would I want to play the game?' The "work" you do to get the blocks to build the cool stuff is the whole point. Those adventures you have going out to search for the treasures that will make your world better. The epic quest to find a mangrove biome for that sweet reddish wood. Getting chased through a mineshaft by a thousand spiders because you were looking for string so you could fill a room with candles. Creeping through the Nether in search of a nether fortress for blaze rods because you want to set up a brewing stand for night vision potions so you can finally explore that ancient city. Exploring the ancient city, setting off the Warden, and running screaming like a terrified child. The variety between gathering and building and whatever farm/village chores you decide you want to do on the regular is how the game stays interesting. You load in, and whatever you're in the mood for on that day, you set off to knock that off the to-do list and see what kind of sidetracks you wind up on.
Currently addicted to playing BTA on my occasional spare time. I started out just thinking about building small stuff for the heck of it, now I'm building an enormous railroad to connect 2 villages I built very far apart. The whole process of planning where the road will go, gathering resources, digging through mountains and seeing the whole project slowly taking form has brought me a kind of joy that I haven't felt from anything else in recent times.
Hey one of the contributor of FO here, FO actually support more modern version, it just doesn't have all the features because some mods are a lot of work and not yet finalized
But if you don't use stuff like shaders or ressource packs that need OptiFine features, you should be fine to use those
On a personal note i'm happy that you have found your way in minecraft
It's different for everyone indeed
I recommend you to try multiplayer in a small group of friends but also maybe on a bigger server and maybe even try some minigames on Hypixel or on MCC Island
Also it's great that you tried BTA as it give a way different meaning to what is minecraft
Same for modding
In the end minecraft is just an empty box left by the whole community to fill in
Microsoft may own Mojang which "own" the game, but actually it's all of us that make it
Now just one last thing, you can enter minecraft, but you can never leave it
It's always gonna be spend a few months, leave the game, come back, leave again and it'll never stop
As long as there will be smth new or old to discover or rediscover, you'll spend time on it
Because it's how minecraft goes
THIS IS SUCH A PERFECT VIDEO!
If you have more friends that play minecraft, I suggest that you make your next survival world in a server. Thats your world, your friends can join, but after they stop playing, you still continue in that world. Thats what ive been doing this year. I made my server and friends can join if they feel like even to just hang out. But the things they build will add to your survival experience, and tha feeling of friends adding to your world kinda adds to enjoying the game as you described it in the video
Cool video! I actually had a similar experience with Minecraft growing up, since I was more into Linux than gaming and mostly just stuck to more creative builds or occasionally screwing around in survival with my siblings. I struggled a lot to really get into a survival world, and even tried making a modpack a few years ago to correct a lot of the issues people have (which actually got pretty big though under completely different direction) but the problem with that is you're effectively setting goals for the player rather than letting them set their own, and eventually they're going to run out of things to do, leaving them back where they were with vanilla.
What ended up finally getting me into normal-ish survival mode was the mod Alex's Mobs which I installed to build a cozy farm and get away from the grind of playtesting for a while, but since I'd finally started a world with a set goal in mind (and finally started bringing food with me when mining) I quickly found myself really enjoying it and it became my primary way of playing Minecraft.
I haven't gotten around to trying Better than Adventure yet, but another favorite mod of mine is (versions prior to 4.60 of) its namesake, Better than Wolves, which I think would be right up your alley since it's basically a medieval-friendly tech tree that adds some more progression to the game while still allowing player freedom.
minecraft always felt that way for me, i see 5 year me in him discovering minecraft from my brother
Amazingly edited! And as a (small) Minecraft TH-camr and lover, I’m glad you found a way to enjoy it! It’s such a versatile game and has so many different ways to play it.
Good on you for giving Minecraft a fair shake. It's really interesting how often we apply an insane amount of emphasis on something that happened when we were kids. I'm glad you enjoy the game and I'm glad you can enjoy the beauty for what it is.
The Quality of Life features in modern Minecraft are exactly why I struggle to enjoy older Minecraft. Its good to hear someone finally mention that about modern Minecraft.
Honestly, I dont play because I cant play with good friends of mine. 5 years back I played vigilantly on a sever named EMC with a plethora of good long term friends whom I still converse with. (and also joined a splinter community of mock goverment on discord which sadly died a slow and painful demise) But sadly that time is long past. Truthfully, I just want to reignite some of the magic that made those experiences of mine so memorable and share it with others to also enjoy. These fleeting moments of bliss oh how i'd like to return but time marches ever forward with no respect to my wishes.
Back in 2017 me and my brother made a theme park called Funland on a superflat world in Xbox 360 Minecraft. However in 2021 the Xbox 360 suddenly stopped working and lost all memory. I liked that theme park world. It had a restaurant, cave ride, water ride, a few roller coasters, rings around the park to fly with elytra through, a hotel, minigame booths, a potion shop, a piggy back riding area, and a secret buried chest with a book and quill inside about Pete the Cat. It was surely grand.
I'm happy for you that you found fun in a new thing. :)
I used to be just like you and never gave it a fair chance until the pandemic hits and a friend of mine and me decided to just boot it up and give it a shot. Back then it was Bedrock and we had tons of fun. So much that I now, years later, switched to java and also creating content in form of data packs and contribute to the community.
It is really a great, great game.
we appreciate minecraft out here old or not
you need to play multiplayer, play maps, make a map, learn commands, use comands.... I used to be like you, then I become an admin back then in 2017 (I think)... then I close the server close... but it was great!!! have a group of friends, or play alone with mods, you name it. Minecraft is literally infinit. But let me tell you, you should watch a tutorial about how to build bro, those buildings are a little old school, worse than mine lol
During covid I spent a lot of time watching speed runners breaking records on 1.16.1, since then I've had a lot of fun in that version trying to race to the nether to try and replicate part of what I watched. It means I basically do the same thing everytime I get into the game, but seeing as it's proceedural and every world is different, it somehow always ends up in a different experience.
Lol I recently found the mod Terrafirmacraft and now I've got two servers: One that's on a big modpack built around Mekanism and AE2 along with Pneumaticraft and Create, and then one built on a foundation of Terrafirmacraft xD
I remember when i was a kid i went around cleaning people's sidewalk for a bit of money so i could buy Minecraft
Now my account is one of the oldest ones, bought the day 1.0 got launched or a day after don't really remember
The game is hard to stick to if you're not the type of person that can create stories out of their mind. That's the hardest part. The rest is building it in legos, playmobils, of Minecraft. I'm not that type of person and I still use Minecraft as a way to learn how to create my own stories.
Finally, i find someone who credits the music they have used. Im so happy about this. Im proud of yall.
also can I mention I love your editing style dude. top tier content. I've known your channel for around 1 day now. You earned a sub!
I never had access to video games when I grew up, so when I discovered Minecraft in 2011 the first thing I did was study the online Wiki and set my first world to "peaceful".
What a fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s really refreshing to see someone start from the “modern Minecraft bad” viewpoint and, in actually giving the game a fair shake, grow to love it.
I've never beaten the ender dragon, but I don't generally trophy hunt strong beasts of legend into extinction in any games. Except Far Cry 3.
I'm one of those players people are snobbish about (basically trying to speedrn hardcore worlds to netherite+farms) but I still really enjoy it and find it fun. Obviously the game appeals to a bunch of people for a bunch of reasons, and partly why people get bored of it is because they don't try different aspects of it.
1.20.1 is my personal favorite modern version because I am a modpack builder. 1.12.2 will always hold a special place in my heart though because of the modding heyday.
the moment he said "beta 1.7.3" i just went "🤮 old minecraft? Bluehh eww"
i love the way you did this video, great job. and i agree 100%. though one side note, the people that say that 1.7.3 was good, are so wrong, it was bad, so bad, awful, but thats what was good, it was such a bad thing that everything you did felt good, it was hard to get somewhere, so when you did it felt way better than nowadays when you can just fly.
1.8 being controversial is a newer idea in the community, it was loved and hyped at the time
Tbh my favorite part of minecraft is multiplayer servers, fun as hell and ive never got bored playing it (a bunch of gamestyles to choose from)
I absolutely love survival but one thing I struggle with is being creative. There’s so much blocks to use to the point that it feels as if there’s none
Outstanding video, relatable on so many different levels!
"I understand it now!"
This is the 4th year im playing on my world. Its crazy on there
been here since you made videos about krunker so cool to see how much ur content has developed over time
For me what sucks is there's no point to building things, when I finish a build I'm like, ok, what do I do with this now???
I recently joined 2b2t and the new context is making it enjoyable.
I was in kind of the same position as you as a kid. never really played survival mode and only creative. that was until I found out how to connect to servers and it made survival alot easier cause i could team up with other players and we would help each other out. I honestly learned most of my minecraft knowledge from random people on servers.
I feel likeI'm kinda in the minority in being an old-school gamer who prefers modern minecraft to its classic roots. There are definitely (plenty of) problems with its corporate handling like insane censorship (seriously Mojang, I can’t make a sign that says BREWERY on it in my private, 3-person realm??) and all the shenanigans that come with being owned by a tech giant. BUT, I don’t really see it as directionless or unfocused, because it’s a game about freedom. YOU get to make it the experience you want it to be, and it facilitates that with all kinds of options. And every new thing they add just gives you more and more options to play the way you like. :)
Honestly, I've heard of better than adventure and thought "oh hey that's pretty cool!" but this video made me wanna actually check it out!!!
Survival, adventure, exploration, progression... are excuses to play in the world you customize. They bring immersion. You don't get that in creative. But still, the point of the game is to build, and it looks like at Mojang, they forget that. At least most of the time. They just give more blocks, and don't care much about actual building QoL and progression.
Also, a good environment brings immersion. Just a few mobs and plants in each of their 10 000 biomes won't do.
I keep on playing it since it's the best building game so far, but alternatives are on the way (Vintage Story, Tesera, Lay of the land... Hytale one day...)
17:47 golden words
in 2013 i thought Minecraft was the dumbest, most pointless game ever... in 2014 Minecraft was the only game i played and was my most favorite game ever
THIS ! It now makes sense why I just can't get into the new minecraft
12:26 I respect the wandering trader kill. btw, maybe give multiplayer a try. It's really fun.
Every other Friday evening I meet with my friends in person and we do stuff together. Rarely we start Minecraft and we play together. For example one week ago we did that. I think there has not been one instance where we stopped playing at a reasonable time. For example last Friday I kicked them out of my house at 4 in the morning.
I think Minecraft is a great game, even though I rarely play it myself. One reason for that is that my biggest world turned laggy and I never really got invested into a new world.
If we talk about old versions I like beta 1.5 the best. Mostly because it is the newest version that still allows for booster minecarts. I'm so sad that this feature got removed.
aaaaaand that's why "minecraft is boring" videos are super annoying to me. I'm glad you were able to see the game for what it truly is :)
i love your videos so much. i hope you can find some growth soon because you really deserve it. the effort and care you put into every single project is unmatched for a channel of your size. incredible creator, i wish you only the best.
That was a very well written video, congrats!
You might be the greatest TH-camr Ive seen recently
16:49 i did not expect that lol I'm watching this on my Arch Linux laptop XD
Ok, great video... But if you do get bored of minecraft again... That fine...
There a quote from the infiniminer (the game that inspired Minecraft build system) creator that I will try to carry if me for as long I can, that it *will never be the "greatest game of all time", and if it exist you can still get bored...
And that ok...
love the video,you deserve more recognision
Insert the "oh my god...I get it" meme guy
I really like this video. Made me feel all warm a fuzzy inside.
Really cool video.
now join a multiplayer world and enjoy the endless suffering and fun
Bro really nobody cares about you and your video nowadays but it's rare to see videos like yours to blow which I like and I like watching old school type videos
Next video: Multiplayer Minecraft, JHXC63 joins 2b2t!!
16:50 "...or using linux"
Omg hint at next video? 👀
Btw linux user for quite some time, and can confirm that the analogy is correct
i remember back in the day on pocket edition when every easter me and my cousins and friends would make an smp or continue the previous years one. i also had a few singleplayer worlds and even a creative one where i messed around with redstone and dabbled in some multiplayer mostly prison servers. after getting a laptop for university i only play java and mostly multiplayer. specifically i play hypixel skyblock for about 3 years and every once in a while i play a modpack. after getting access to java mc survival never really appealed to me. i think the lack of direction turns me off and probably a big reason why i play (the very very grindy) hypixel skyblock and questing modpacks
I should go back to playing some minecraft 1.6.4 again
Whatever you do stay away from hypixel skyblock, that shit is addictive lol I only quit when my account got stolen
I don’t find vanilla survival fun ngl, I always gotta have mods
Bro is a villager translater
I use arch btw and agree about the linux argument.
Signing of your friendly comment section nerd.

Yo I love your videos!
Minecraft survival nowadays is a terrible game of itself, but allows for incredible capabilities for creating and modding! Just the sheer amounts of modding you can do: building, command blocks, datapacks, plugins, mods - possibilities are truly endless.
You mentioned Better Than Adventures as a great game branch, I would also recommend Better Than Wolves: it's the same idea, but prioritizes survival over creative aspects. It's often regarded as a "hardest mod", but it's honestly just challenging. Once you breach past "hunger games" (which usually takes a lot of attempts) it's a very interesting streamlined progression!
Minecraft Survival Mode might seem terrible if you look at it as a progression first gamemode, but that's not what survival mode, or Minecraft in general is about. It's about letting your creativity run wild, and survival mode is just a way to structure that creativity.
@FlushDesert22 thats exactly what im talking. Sure, building is great, but if you want to actually play it as a game and not home depot simulator it gets boring suprisingly fast
@@white_145 I didn't know building games weren't games.
"it gets boring suprisingly fast" Tell that to litterally every Minecraft speedrunner. I really hate when people act like everyone has the exact same experience as they do, especially if their experiences are dictated by their tastes and how they vibe with a certain thing.
@FlushDesert22 minecraft speedrunning is literally playing through the only 2.5 progression steps (or more like skipping them) as fast as you can. The point is, you can be as creative as you want, but the SURVIVAL part most definetely sucks whichever way you look at it. Building games do exist, but minecraft is not one of them, clearly having more to it than "just build"
bro sounds like Sam from Mafia DE lol

Can't believe this videos doesn't have MINIMUM 1000 views, I know it will have them, just that this video is awesome and I hope a lot of people can see this, didn't knew an older version had so much support from the community, will check it out, awesome video C:
im curious why would u censor 2 version in prism
