>Do you miss pre-release Minecraft?

I don't miss MC at all. It was fun while it lasted, don't try to keep a dead horse alive.

>better lighting

>no redstone lag

>no bullshit mine tunnel spaghetti

I wish modders had stuck with it.

No, it was vapid shit utterly devoid of content. I'd rather play today's MC, though I have no idea what it looks like. It should only be played with heavy mods.

>>14780808

It looks exactly the same with a few superfluous mobs and biomes.

>Being autistic enough to enjoy playing Minecraft

>Being even more autistic to the point that you hate all change and just want to stack brown squares

OP I'm sorry but you need to kys

>>14780830

>not being autistic enough to play deeper, harder and thicker games

This is OP's biggest fault. He's that sort of autistic which isn't our autism. The sort which can pass as normal.

>>14780466

>don't try to keep a dead horse alive.

nothing wrong with it if people still enjoy it, nobody is forcing you to do anything

>>14780861

What are these thicker, harder, and deeper games, anon?

>try to make a mod

>load the game with just homebrew mod and forge

>game lags to shit

>load the game with just forge

>game still lags to shit because forge is gay

Don't you dare to say it was my mod, it was ONE fucking ore block and ONE item added, which also crashed the game if the ore was blown up by a creeper because there is no documentation on how blocks should be set up with forge.

Honestly I see nothing wrong with going back to 1.2.5 Tekkit or 1.2.5-1.5 FTB since those were actually fun and didn't run like dry shit. These days though, I don't even have time to invest in playing.

>>14781416

I think it was your mod, anon

>>14781416

Even older modpacks ran like shit thanks to Industrialcraft noises. If you deleted the noises from the files, performance would actually improve.

It doesn't help that most mods other than Thaumcraft were designed like shit.

>>14785825

Try Avaritia, it's like the distilled essence of all minecraft mods into one. By the time you're finished with it, you'll be sick of it forever.

>>14785825

I had an okay modpack for that, but there's also terrafirmacraft for maximum autismo. Alternatively you could try that which shall not be named.

aka gregtech

actually gregtech wasn't too bad back in ftb for 1.5, and with mystcraft and bees you could keep busy for a long time

Do you have a link to download the game?

>>14780990

classic

Minecraft is fun if you make it fun. The vanilla game is so bare-bones (with building possibilities and mod-ability) that it's like a kid with a set of building blocks. If you can't make something with practically infinite potential fun, that's entirely your fault. Maybe it's just not the game for you because you don't have a creative bone in your body? Nothing to be ashamed of, but it's not a problem with the game. Waxing nostalgia about the first two months you played it and were entranced by the freshness of the genre and the whole new-game honeymoon period and thinking that means it was objectively better back then is stupid.

Although, I'll admit that since Microsoft took over they're doing they're damndest to make it as un-fun as possible. I'm fully convinced that the "new mob" contest was totally rigged, just so they'd have an excuse to create and introduce a mob that has literally ZERO purpose but to break every overworld AFK farm.

>>14780990

The new "buffet worlds" terrain presets for the next update make it seem like it will be possible to recreate this, somewhat. You know, if it wasn't a fucking useless meme that nobody actually liked.

>>14785921

No spoonfeeding.

>>14797083

shit like this makes me feel lonely and sad. exploring an abandoned minecraft server and seeing messages from people written long ago and realizing you're the first and last person who will read it for a long time is just a really depressing feeling for me.

>>14797083

Think of all the things like this people created only for no one to ever find them.

>>14797109

whenever i found them, i always destroyed them

Install minetest.

>>14785825

I used to play on an autistic life simulation server in which people founded cities, states and countries and gameplay involved getting a job, driving trains with supplies and founding companies.

That was all done at 2fps of course, but I wish the server was still alive. It had a lot of players but the amount of mods meant it couldn't live for long which it didn't.

Mods killed themselves. Each mod wanted to have its own progression and crafting grind and not let modpacks merge those in sensible ways and it got to the point where in FtB or whatever I'd spend all my time creating an autobuilder network for the 200+ items I needed to begin playing the game then get bored and quit before getting beyond that.

To avoid repeating that mistake in the future, mods should be required to be open source.

>>14797259

>Minetest

also shit, unless it's made massive improvements over these few years and mods got far better

>>14797329

It doesn't help that they tried to constantly outdo eachother in terms of power, resulting in entire mods being obselete because of power creep.

Why bother with Forestry when Steve's factory manager will make a tree farm smaller, cheaper and faster.

>>14797417

Better than minecock that's for sure, but you're right.

>>14797290

because every modder was convinced "OH BRO USE THIS NEW API CALLED RF IT'S LEGIT DUDE" and only one fucking modder actually used it in a way that was similar to EU. Before then, everyone had their own power API and it was equally as ridiculous.

>>14797426

This too, when every mod did the same fucking thing but tried to do it better, it just fucking killed modpacks. "Yeah lets have 20 mods that all add their own copper/tin ore and their own method of processing and multiplying yields and their own generators and their own cables and pipes, etc, etc", nobody could just do one thing and do it well, everybody had to do everything and fuck it all up

>>14785825

Seriously easily the most hardcore pack in content and skill requirement. Greg Tech New Horizons or GT New Horizons. Takes people quite a long time but you could probably get it done over the summer if you actually play it. Grindy but a lot of fun as well.

Im sick of all the one block solution blocks that mods add, like Actually Additions does. It makes everything so boring and literally just work up to getting the blocks. I would play older packs but I like too many QOL mods/better iterations of mechanics like the minimap.

>>14797726

I'm tempted to make a mod of my own, but there are two issues.

1. Minecraft is dead and owned by Microsoft

2. The modding scene is also dead as shit

>>14797753

Also Forge API is genuinely terrible to work with. Community is pretty retarded except for people who play the actually decent packs. Forge sold out, only actually autistic modders with the occasional transgender (seriously its crazy). Retards make mods then release them without updating only for modpack makers to put it in their packs with entire progression around it *cough* elucent *cough*. Im just hoping for a new voxel/sandbox game to move on to at this point.

>>14797777

nice quads

A shame what happened to Minecraft though, killed by it's creator, it's community and the people it was sold to.

What it needs is vision and a whole lot of optimization.

>>14797793

You mean sea turtles that were created by a mod creator years ago, much better at that, isn't visionary?

>>14797803

That's the same sort of laziness that killed it, where the creators saw the success of Minecraft as a way to play with Nerf guns all day. What they should have done was fix villages, add new dimensions, do anything other than what they did. Add fucking variants of what they already added. Like potatoes, or more animals.

Did you know it took until now for Minecraft to add underwater content?

>>14797822

Tbh, the minecraft community was always pretty commercialist. Remember when mod authors used to split mods into 5 parts because they got 1 cent for every 100 downloads?

>>14797824

Yeah I've been playing since beta, although really got into it release 1.2.5. The shit they add pisses me off. 1.4.7 being the last really decent update besides 1.7.2 (adding biomes) and even that I dislike more so now than ever. The new biomes got old really quickly for me at least.

>>14797822

I did one completed mod all it did was add rock candy as an ore, you could eat it or combine it with a stick and it would give you a speed buff when eaten

but I had 5 more projects planned overhauling ores, mining mechanics, mob behavior, a food buff/debuff system and adding a whole system that relies on fungus

>>14797830

That's gay asf.

I miss >>14780990 and infinite water. It all went to shit after.

>>14780441

>For nostalgia seekers

>for fucking minecraft

Jesus Christ

>>14799001

Mojang or whoever is in charge now that Microsoft bought it off already said mod API will never happen since CurseForge is a thing already.

Nah. I had fun playing it for a while, but there's not any version of it worth going back to.

>Do you miss pre-release Minecraft?

Yes

>Miss older gameplay, no hunger bar, and simple gameplay?

YES

>version b1.7.3

Shit, fucking gay.

Any version greater then 1.3 is absolute shit.

I especially hate 1.6 which added the hiddious puke grass to the game.

>>14780441

Minecraft was always shit.

>>14780966

Dwarf Fortress.

>>14808737

I think the change in the biome generator (remember those awesome massive hills and shit), the addition of that ugly fucking long grass, chnage of the grass colors, and the ugly fucking swamp shit biomes ruined the original comfy aesthetic. Markus probably hates what his perfect comfy game turned into once his company was filled with soyboys.

>>14827895

The swamp update was probably one of the worst fucking updates ever.

Remember how one day after updating you'd just find random fucking corrupted blocks of piss grass and piss water all over your world.

What made it worse was that after you updated your world was like that forever, no backups, no warnings, it's just fucked.

Absolutely disgusting.

The old world gen of alpha/early beta was the only good world gen.

Everything about the new gen is just flat and not comfy at all.

>>14828054

You can play any version in the launcher anon, even the first one Notch ever publicly released.

>>14829539

When did that become a thing?

I stopped following anything these niggers did after release.

>>14829673

Mojang caught up with the third party launchers and added a 'profile' option that will download any specified version, including pre-release.

>>14785825

sevtech is a recent fuckhuge pack that takes you through 6 different ages, starting with being a caveman and bashing flint on rocks to make tools, and ending with galaxy exploration

>>14797231

>trying to be edgy

lame.

>>14797083

God damnit. I didn't want to feel today.

>tfw ywn play alpha minecraft with your bros all summer again

Hold me fam.

>>14837113

there's nothing to stop you from playing alpha with your bros

except your lack of bros

and probably a job that will eat up your entire summer

>>14785798

What is your draw distance?

>>14785825

I've been playing this one.

It seems okay so far, but install it with multiMC. Twitch is a cancerous botnet.
