      ironically enough if you watch my video called Why You Don’t Enjoy Minecraft Anymore, and How to Have Fun Again I critique the both the fake 100 day challenges and the increasing genre of video essays about why they think Minecraft sucks. I personally still love the game and think it’s fantastic, and this video and the one I mentioned were made out of respect for the game and giving a more optimistic look at the game. I understand how similar titles and thumbnails may make you think it’s another attempt at milking that though.

    The thing where mobs spawn by your bed if it isn’t in a home could be added back, it means no more bringing a bed with you to skip nights while exploring. Potentially to make sure the bed is usable, there could be dialogue that says whether it is usable when you place it down. Either saying “this place is too dangerous to sleep!” or “this place is safe to sleep.” can pop up like “mobs are nearby.” When you try using the bed in the daytime or place it down.

    You should try playing Vintage Story which is like Minecraft but the survival aspect is turned up to 11. Basic mechanics like farming,
    toolmaking, hunting for food requires you to do a lot of effort which can be frustrating at times but once you finally do it right you know you absolutely earned it, and Vintage Story also has some mechanics that adds layers to the survival aspect like food preservation, seasons, and even classes to play that affect gameplay by having certain buffs, debuffs and some have exclusive crafting recipes. Although if consider to play Vintage Story do note that the game is extremely difficult if you don't know what you're doing.

    Just to add to updating enemies but I feel there isn't an support enemy variant outside the witch. I'd love it if the AI for skeletons makes only approach if no other melee mob is nearby but will generally stay back. Also, the AI needs to learn that if they cannot attack you but you can attack them they need to move out the way.
    As for minecarts the only suggestion I can give is a full overhaul update to give them more uses. None come to mind and a part of me thinks this feature may of become fully outdated. Maybe allowing chains to connect minecarts at least would be a fun addition but not sure it actually does anything

  • @Greymerk

    Treasure exclusive loot is annoying because exploration is costly on a server. it both takes longer and longer to find new chunks, and the storage/backup costs grow with the number of generated chunks. What I miss from beta is the lack of exploration incentives. Most things you needed were found close to home in abundance. Also ores were never hard to find, regardless of rarity. it was simply a test of your patience for branch mining (ie: watching a video on your other monitor).

    • @barlexlive
      @barlexlive  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Completely agree. That's why I pointed out that every structure could learn from the trial chambers. I still like loot chests, but I think it'd be cool if Mojang implemented loot in structures to be one-per-player. I don't necessarily want EVERY structure to have a copy of trial vaults, but something that makes it to where each player gets loot or killing a certain mob gets a key to unlock something that repeatedly gives you loot could really help solve that problem.

    For sprinting, I've tried to solve that issue with a mod called "Im 'movens", which implements the hunger system from an old mod named Better than Wolves. It makes it so that sprint jumping is actually a sprint, and normal sprinting isn't the default, but can be used in small bursts to run from mobs if you run into a swarm. Its not perfect, as I dislike the way it handles health (below 3 hearts you're slower, below 2 you can't jump, and at one heart you're just blind and have super slowness), but for hunger I'd say its quite well made.

    I agree with many points though I wanna point out problem with diamonds is with the new netherite upgrade and armor trims that use so many diamonds which is the reason they upped the spawn rate. Unfortunately this makes it so easy to get diamonds early, but making them rarer would make netherite even more of a slog so I don't think it's as simple as reducing the spawn rate

    critique or your hunger argument. Healing is actually a lot easier in previous versions because there was no eating animation and it instantly healed you. All you had to do was have a few pieces of food on your hotbar and you were fine. With the new system though you need to wait for your health to regenerate on its own and have a lengtthy eating animation when your hunger does drain. Arguably it's harder now than it was before

    • @barlexlive
      @barlexlive  หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's a fantastic point on the fact that eating used to be instantaneous. I agree that eating or healing should still take time, but I don't necessarily agree that it's harder now than before because you can stack so many foods with super high saturation like steaks or golden carrots and then eating happens far less in combat than it would were there no hunger mechanics. Do you think the hunger/food system should be changed or do you like it how it is?

    • @astrobagans6182
      @astrobagans6182 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@barlexlive Hunger saturation could be removed but in return it allows you to heal with one less hunger bar. This removes pre eating from fighting but allows you to have a little bit extra healing. Your idea for the sustenance is a step in the wrong direction though because you're forcing players to make and carry a specific food. Minecraft is all about freedom of choice so forcing a specific food to heal is a bad idea in my opinion.

  • @starbonnie552
    @starbonnie552 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Honestly I am kinda surprised mobs don't have more advanced AI on harder difficulties. I know certain mobs have a small chance spawning with potion effects and armor applied and stuff but it's weird that's the only difference they have from easy to hard outside of doing more damage. Like Wither Skeletons if they spawn with a bow will shoot fire arrows but they aren't able too, combine that with arrows of decay or something they'd be dangerous, skeletons can also have tipped arrows but never have them less spawned by the player and only strays and bogged use them. Everything about the difficulty system is weird.
    As for normal difficulty changes for like general stuff there's things I agree on and disagree on some kinda in the middle. Like with Mending I feel like the villager rebalance is more or less fine. Unless you spawn beside a Jungle and Village I would say it's hard enough consider the breeding and leveling part, but yeah agreed for a treasure enchantment it's way to easy to obtain in the first like hour if you're persistent. Ominous Trails are probably the best place for them currently

    25:20 My take on Mending, I hate it and I think it should be a little different, make it so its only a teasure enchant, so you cannot get it through villagers or enchantment tables, and its chance of any loot pool is very low, and instead what Mending does is it repairs a tool completely when it breaks, but only has a limited uses, kinda like durability

      @Toastedcat1 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think that mending isn't the issue really, but durability is. Currently (with enchanted items), there's two methods of repairing an item. Mending, or using the material / copy of the tool to repair it. The thing is, if I've used the item in an anvil 4 times so far, and I want to repair my diamond pickaxe with a few diamonds, it costs THIRTY-ONE LEVELS. Its just absurd, and I think that the other reason people use mending so much is because they don't want to loose the tools they spent time enchanting at an expensive level price.

    I think most of the stuff at the surface level should stay casual rather than be difficult, more stuff that is very challenging should be things the player initiates on their own imo, like choosing whether to go through the deep dark or not, you don’t have to do it, but you can if you want. Have you ever played with some mod packs like better Minecraft, they add many new very challenging structures and dimensions to the game, but the thing about those, is that the player can choose whether to go through them or not, there not part of the general experience, some of the suggestions you make I think interfere with casual gameplay even though I don’t think that is what you intended because they change up the casual Minecraft gameplay too much

      Great point on saying that challenges should be initiated by the player.

      Easy mode, maybe even normal, should remain the same, but hard mode should at least greatly buff mobs, for example make spiders run as fast or even faster than you, skeletons range should be longer, most mob speed should be buffed to compete with yours... Ecc...

    while i agree that mending should be nerfed i dont think you went far enough. I think there should be a point in the game where elytras dont have mending on them automatically to help the balance of the game. If they spawn in end chests then you can get an eltrya and mending at the same time which isnt fair. Maybe mending should be in another dimension post game thats how op it is it feels like post game content. We know eventually another dimension will be added weather that be a new aether or the skulk dimension or something like that it should be where mending is found not in the first 3 dimensions.

    Some of these I think are okay, but not all of these I don’t think would be very good to make Minecraft harder, Minecraft just gets easier the more experience you have, just play an older version and it is easier than you remember. No hunger, meaning you can be sedentary, enemies do A LOT less damage, so even though food isn’t stackable and health doesn’t auto regen, it isn’t really an issue because a skeleton arrow won’t deal nearly half of your health anymore, plus the reduced damage of many other enemies, and mining is very easy aslong as you are careful, caves are very linear in older versions. Mobs are easier to fight too because you don’t have the combat delays from 1.9. Getting a bed is still very quick, and even diamonds if you go deep mining on your very first day on Y level 12, it just feels harder because you were less experienced, now that you are experienced, this, and newer versions are all very easy.

Making it feel more 'survival' rather than just, "I'm gonna build something that looks nice without fear of any setbacks or delays whatsoever", like creative mode exists. A large part of what makes achievements so meaningful for people isn't that they sank hours into a monotonous activity but because its inherently difficult to achieve.

    5:02 that's a load of bullshit. What if i don't want to. I do agree that beds are too easy to get but i disagree with needing to fight to get it
    What i would do is make it so wool no longer drops from killing sheep instead it only drops if you sheer the sheep and beds now use 2 banners and 1 wool instead of 3 wool this way it takes far longer to get a bed than 90 seconds and the player needs to progress to iron tools before they are able to skip the night

      so you agree with the idea but not the method. If you think in advance for a bit, then you'd realize you'd need to go and explore for that iron to craft shears. Which means you are bound to confront mobs along your journey. Yes, even with your method, you'd still need to fight for it.

      If the game can be completed easily, when the goal was to provide some challenge, I'd argue the ones who haven't fixed that well-known exploit would be to blame. If this method was the faster that the intended experience, which it most certainly is, then players are naturally going to want to complete the established goal as fast as possible. You see it in every game ever.

    so unlike most views on this video i actually sat down and watched this whole video and i am in shock as to how terrible it really was. i seriously have a hard time understanding how every single person that "thinks" they can fix minecraft doesn't get that minecraft is a sandbox game, not an rpg, not a typical bland survival game but an honest sandbox. it confuses me how every one of these "fixes" makes minecraft more akin to a linear game like half-life instead of what it really is, a sandbox. if minecraft is SO easy why not just play a different game? why not just admit that maybe sandbox games aren't really your thing anymore and just play something else i mean terraria exists and has similar mechanics to minecraft why not play that? but that's just too good of a solution i guess. so in conclusion thanks for raising my blood pressure today i really needed that, go have fun smelling your own farts thinking that this video essay was a genius idea and you may as well have been a mojang employee.

    I rarely heard do many bad ideas in one video :
    You notice that yeah, minecarts are slow, yeah mobs can't catch up.
    What would a normal person do? Make them faster so that they can compete with the player's sprint.
    What you shouldn't do? Slow down the player to an excruciating pace.
    Oh yeah? Healing is too easy, so let's like, remove it entirely and add a completely irrelevant item because I don't feel like using healing potion (also what do you mean they stack??? They don't??? Are we playing the same game???)
    Don't even get me started on your bed "solution".
    You know what? I don't even feel like using my brain to process such idiotic suggestions, clearly, you didn't put a single thought into your ideas.
    At the end of the day it's just a fucking sandbox game, if all you want is to fight mobs and struggle to survive then guess what? Plenty of mod do that. For the majority of people Minecraft is about building and hacing fun, ressources and mobs are only a mean to an end.

    • @eytj6448

      resources and mobs are definitely part of what makes the game so appealing. If you assert that building is the main allure of minecraft, then play creative. Amidst the challenging experiences that you can find yourself embroiled in, there are feelings of accomplishment and meaning--Especially because there are difficult aspects and barriers to goals laid therein. The whole experience is fun.
