< Minecraft doesn't... feel like minecraft anymore

~jammin

I only got into (Java) Minecraft while 1.13 was a thing, but yet I end up enjoying the older versions a lot more than the newer ones. My personal favorite is Beta 1.7.3.

There's a lot I want to say about modern Minecraft but I can barely put it into words.

Basically, I find beta Minecraft to be a much better sandbox. There's not too many mechanics, or even pre-existing structures for that matter. That simplicity is what made it great.

In beta Minecraft, you have to do everything yourself.

In modern Minecraft, you do everything yourself in the beginning but then everything just slowly becomes effortless and automatic.

this is partly why i like magic mods for minecraft 1.7 through 1.12. spells, rituals and sigils require abundance of hard-to-farm resources which makes collection a chore and the experience of performing your vaguely book-described magick thrilling. also, it's gut-wrenching to see something fail because you forgot - or misinterpreted - something, thus have to harvest items all over again.

i've enjoyed being nomadic in minetest, mind you. similar vibe to early minecraft.
