When exactly did Minecraft lose it's magic for you?
For me it was two things they introduced
>beds
When they added it made the game too easy. I remember my first world i built my main base very far away from spawn, when i died i spent like 2 hours looking for it, then i built a base on spawn and built a road to my house. Later on i connected it with rails
>biomes
It just made the world ugly. Especially the transitions beetwen biomes. In my opinion the biomes should be on seperate islands and to get there you should cross a gaint ocean. It should feel like an adventure and would need to prepare for it. Snow biomes should be in the norht and desert biomes in the south. Not the clusterfuck of ugliness like the current worldgen. Nether is a complete disaster now you have different biome every 100 blocks.

Its kinda hard to pinpoint the death but some milestones in the enshittification for me were:
>End being added and being pretty much pointless
>Wither being added when minecraft bossfights already suck
>Mojang's approach to redstone/autofarms being them breaking the best autofarms every other update
>million billion random block designs that don't really add to the game
>complete lack of new mobs that aren't gimmick bullshit like frogs or whatever
>adding in 10 year old mod concepts which don't really fit the game
>fucking up the worldgen (whatever update made every plains spawn with water potholes everywhere)

The villages are what ruined it for me. What made Minecraft unique is that you're the last man on earth in this strange fantasy land. It was both lonely but peaceful, like Shadow of the Colossus. The introduction of villages instantly turned it into just another generic medieval fantasy setting

I agree with all of this. Exploration in the game falls off because you're running into a new place every few minutes.Another thing that messes with exploration is how much bloat has been added to the game. Yes, you'll run into new stuff, which you'd think would be good. But there's so much new stuff that you don't really value something existing in the game. If you drop a toy off in a village where children are playing with sticks, it will be the biggest thing ever to them. If you drop a toy off in the middle of a toystore, it will probably get thrown away as litter you left by mistake.

I imagine a lot of it is vibes.
I feel like there's less room in the game for imagination to fill in the gaps.
Think of all that's been changed since the version in your picture, first, starting at the menu, you're exposed to in-game stores, gamemode settings, cheats and world seeds/customization straightaway.
Then you get in a world, crafting recipes are all mapped and baked in the UI, the fog is 10x more distant than it used to be, farther away than it used to, there's concrete lore for everything, everything's been minmaxxed, documented and datamined to some wiki somewhere, and there's now a concrete goal, too, defeating the Ender Dragon.
But above all of this, most important difference of them all: you've seen all there is to see in this game.
No matter how many beveled crystalized disturbed aquamarine shingle block variations Mojang adds to the game, and how many times they tweak the world generation algorithm slightly so the angularity of stone can sometimes form a vaguely spear shaped boulder, it's foundation, it's boundaries and it's limitations remain bedrock solid.

The thing I most distinctly remember disliking was potions, but I'm sure it was ruined way before that. I think I came back to it after a long break, saw potions and just thought "nahhhh".
The whole idea of a way to "beat" the game is retarded in its very concept and should have never been added, they fell for the mod memes. The core game should have stayed simple, mods were always gonna be there for objective-based gameplay.
Anyone remember that Zelda Adventure mod that needed a whole different launcher?Also, the introduction of biomes coincided with fucking up the world gen.
Those early worlds from the alpha were so damn cool, I found a flat platform on top of a snowy mountain peak and built a castle up there, built a bridge over to another peak and stairs down. Never did anything that interesting in later builds.

This is a controversial take but I firmly believe the addition of SPRINTING fucked up the original soulful feeling of the game more than anything, but the top three are
>Introduction of sprinting
>Removal of pitch-black night time
>Tech advances leading to increased render distances and significantly less spooky fog
Before sprinting, all mobs were genuinely dangerous because you couldn't get away from them once they were aggro; skeletons would keep sniping you, zombies would keep advancing towards you, and spiders would actually out-run you, while creepers would sneak up on you. If you hear a creeper hissing behind you, it's already too late to sprint forwards out of the blast zone, you're guaranteed to take damage from the explosion
All of this made combat surprisingly difficult, forcing you to hide inside your base at night, meaning you were huddled in a corner hearing creepy noises outside, so your imagination filled in the blanks and the game became much more spookier as a result, especially combined with the thick fog and pitch-black night time that early versions had. All this creepiness led to stuff like herobrine emerging
Since sprinting, you can survive encounters with any and all combination of mobs by simply running away and kiting them. Yes, you'll have to eat plenty to keep this up, but there's literally no shortage of food, it's absolutely everywhere and it's trivial to get a source of food that will last you the entire game. So monsters are no longer dangerous, you can clearly see unaided at night time because everyone figured out you can crank your gamma up to max to get night vision, and general hardware improvements mean the eerie fog from early versions isn't as prevalent.Load up minecraft right now, turn your gamma all the way down, forbid yourself from sprinting, and turn down your render distance and activate fog and it immediately becomes 2009 lvdosovl again

Notch and Mojang never understood the base game. Notch wanted it to be an RPG for reasons the human intellect will never understand. It does not have the fundamental player mechanics for it to be an RPG, and no one was playing it for that anyways.
The base gameplay was digging tunnels, finding lego pieces, and putting lego pieces together. Monsters were an obstacle to work around.
The base gameplay Mojang wanted was fighting monsters and resource management. Exploring the theme park surface and mining were meant to service that.
The problem is that combat was never inherently fun in minecraft. Then Mojang made it more limited because they thought that would make it more fun. That can work if it was already fun, but it wasn't except at a very high pvp level.

Villages and by extention, villagers completely ruined the entire trajectory of content updates for this game.
It took away the feeling of being alone in an isolated endless, kind of haunting world, and making it home, slowly chipping away at that feeling until you look back and realize that you filled the space with your own wits and ideas, playing off of the landscape's interesting geometry. I used to just explore around and look for cool places to put shit and settle down. It was always much more fun to progress vertically in the sense of developing one area.
But no, we had to ruin it with villages, the first instance of, no you HAVE to go and find this shit. Oh a cool landmark? nah this village is here and fucking ruins it. you mad? just delete the village bro, and ruin the landscape
Every other annoying shitty update that came after that you can trace back to being a design decision that became necessary because of how villages upturned the entire game flow

For me personally it was all the fluff they added in 1.8, it made it run like shit and it made it look like a totally different game.1.7.10 was the best version BUT.
Only because of all the fixes it has over 1.5.2.
Horses and colored clay are easy to ignore so the game is mostly still the same.To be fair though, horses made minecarts obsolete and thus building the infrastructure pointless.
Why craft and lay down 1k rails if you can just right click a random mob and have your transport problem solved?
It effectively removed enjoyment from the game because it made mining the iron, crafting the rails and building the railway feel pointless.

When they added combat. You were supposed to build traps to kill hostile mobs. It is a building game.

For me it was those monsters which spawn when you don't sleep. It's just fucking stupid.

Never. I replayed it a few months ago for the first time since Java 1.1 and loved it.

It never had magic for me. I found it boring, pointless and thought it only appealed to people with a specific type of autism.

Anyone else just not really like new biomes in general? Forest, plains, mountains, desert, jungle, snow, that's about all I want. Anything I want to build can find it's home in one of those biomes. I quite enjoyed 1.2 releasing the jungle, exploring it felt magical. I don't feel anything for any new biomes they added. I especially hate modded biomes. I can't stand that every mod pack now a days has to have 5 different biome mods and I'm always going through some rainbow vomit colored area or something with weird shaped trees and bushes and terrain that just doesn't look like the rest of the game. Nether biomes are also a total pain in the ass, they make the nether so much harder and more tedious to navigate, I wish it was back to just being netherrack everywhere. This might just be a problem with the terrain generation if I'm being honest, maybe some of the newer biomes would look better with old generation.

People are saying that it's 1.8, but it's actually 1.7.
Redstone is the biggest factor in ruining the game by far, and Pistons initiated the whole "no mining and crafting, just autistically following a youtube guide and building a farm" thing.

>Big farms are a problem because I can somehow no longer build the simple buildings I used to make in beta, when there were no huge automated farms.
>Resetting your respawn point ruined the game.
I'll give them that villagers are too common in modern versions.

A lot of the criticism I read can easily be fixed by either not installing the mod that you don’t like or just not generating the mob or villager you don’t like.

I tried going back to b1.7.3 and it's nice and all, aesthetically speaking, but I really didn't like not being able to breed animals.

I never really played survival in the first place, only minigame servers and modded
Villager update is when I completely lost interest though
Now this is just a polish immigration simulator that practically begs you to build infinite resource farms
Elytra is the biggest piece of shit addition this game ever had btw

Agree w you
Valheim did a few things correct to make you prepare for journey. I also built long roads through the dark forest to connect 1st biome to 2nd and go mining with a cart. In minecraft, securing a road would be a disaster as you need torches along it, or could just build a thing in the sky to go over it.
