What did you like the most about old minecraft?
I never played the original alpha minecraft. Tell me what you liked best.
Dont mind me or my lemmy instance.
World Gen is incredible, and the colors are not the same either, I wonder what old world gen would look like with the biomes we have nowadays
There’s a mod called Modern Beta that uses the old terrain generation but with newer versions of the game.
The creativity of the builds.
With thousands of pieces and ways to customize them, the Minecraft builds have sort of lost their… charm?
I remember having pretty much only grass, dirt, stone, cobble, sand, water, lava, planks, logs, slabs, glass, doors, and different coloured wool. And everything was super bright and saturated, and the lighting made everything washed out.
Everything looked like a complete aberration and we loved it
First, no phantoms. Next, mining. It used to be nice and relaxing, and they seem to be trying to suck the fun out of it with all the new blocks and longer times to break a block. Also not a fan of the new caves and such. They are just too common in my opinion. They disrupt my mining. At least they haven’t fucked with fishing.
Yeah, I have some older versions on my pc. I have a virtual machine running mine-os that I keep around. But lately I just like to pick up my Switch and play. A friend has a realm we work on that he can download when we decide to swap it out and start fresh. Speaking of older minecraft, they have really screwed up the Switch version. You used to be able to pop out of minecraft and go to your saved images on your switch, or go look at your profile and see your friends and what they were playing. Now, when you hit the home button and it pops out of mc, you immediately get disconnected from a realm. If you leave mc running and sleep the Switch, when you come back in I manually have to reconnect to my microsoft id, and when I do that most of the time it just forces me to re-login. So I always just stop mc now and restart it when I bring my Switch back up. And since I am on a rant, how about the load time for the game. Not sure how kids with no attention span manage. It takes 2 goddamn minutes it seems to bring the game up with everything loaded and ready to go, and even then sometimes I get this “Loading Resources” popup that can sit there for another min. Really shitty code that they don’t want to look at I guess because they are too busy adding in crap that isn’t needed. It’s like they don’t even own or test on any Switches.
Sorry for the rant, but as an old guy I feel it’s my duty.
Can’t talk about alpha, but beta world generation was perfect before 1.8.
I played the kyoto seed and it was so fun to tame the world that looked kinda like Hunan Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
