I kind of miss old Minecraft. Don't get me wrong, the new updates are great, and they add so much more to Minecraft, but I feel that the recipe book and little notifications that pop up and tell you how to move and punch take away from the true Minecraft experience. I remember when you'd load up Minecraft and be told "Press 'E' for inventory" and then they'd leave you to it. You'd spend a few hours flailing around, dying, and generally figuring things out. After a while, it would all work out. Am I the only one who really enjoyed that experience?

I feel like something has been lost with Minecraft over the years and I do not know if it's the nostalgia talking. I don't mean any gameplay features or anything, there was a vibe about that I felt was lost by the time they started adding more and more content to the game.
Before villagers and endermen and hunger bars, back when Minecraft was still in beta, there was this loneliness out there you couldn't articulate, but expressed itself in many ways. You were alone, this meant the entire world was in your hands to create. You were alone, and outside of zombies and pigs there was no sapient being other than you, building only for yourself. You were alone, and while you're building your fort, the music chimes in - not exciting or motivating, but calm, almost sad - as if emphasizing and recognizing your solitude. You were alone, but you swear there's something peeking at you from the edge of the fog, making you unsure if you were really alone. You were alone, you were home, but at the same time it feels like whatever was your home is lost and you have to start anew.
It was calming, saddening, scary at times. I've seen people say that old Minecraft has a liminal aspect to it. The old chunky lighting, the dark winding gray tunnels that generated odd noises at rare moments, the low render distance fog that envelops everything in a blue haze. But it was also the old terrain generation that created weird spikes and cliffs and grottos and floating islands amidst of the smooth landscape. The random quirks that made you question if something other than you was in the game. The vibe was almost fantastical even though on it's surface everything was so simple. Is it any wonder that people saw fantasy elements in that game, or urban legends like Herobrine?
But now there's hunger and experience points, villagers and pillagers, endermen and piglins, ancient temples underground and underwater, bastions and mansions and end cities. There's traders and llamas, polar bears and axolotls, telescopes and archeology. Overpowered enchantments and farms for everything. A billion different blocks and building techniques. Final bosses and hidden lore. 50 different types of biomes and terrain generation that tries more and more to emulate reality. The calm, Ghibli-esque serenity of old Minecraft has faded and has been replaced with endless content.
I'll admit this is an "old man yelling at clouds" moment for me, I recognize that the liminal, fantastic elements of old Minecraft mainly come from nostalgia. However, it's so difficult to get into the current version of Minecraft for me. There's too much to do, too much set out for you, yet somehow none of it feels exciting. What was once a homestead turned into an endless sprawling landscape of two billion features that don't really seem to enhance anything about the game. It's like coming back to your childhood house and seeing it turned into mansion. It's bigger and better in every way but the core of what made it feel like home was destroyed in the process.
I might just be talking out my ass, but Minecraft just doesn't feel the same anymore, it hasn't for a long time. There's a community of people who play Beta 1.7.3 and yeah, they get what I mean. That's when the vibe was the strongest. That's when it felt most like Minecraft to me.

just realized that I've been a minecraft enjoyer for at last a full decade as of this year. I still think of diorite and wet sponges as relatively new, even on pc. I remember when infinite worlds came to pocket edition and I was worried I'd get lost. before that, I remember making a bright wool house on the coast near the edge of my little world, with a secret door hidden in a painting. it's probably still saved on my old ipod touch. I should get around to getting that fixed; it hasn't connected to wifi for a couple years now

Remember when Minecraft was mysterious?
Remember when we were all trying to build castles with only a few different block types, but still managed to pull off amazing builds? Remember when we were learning redstone and making really cool contraptions like redstone entrances? STICKY Pistons were the coolest thing at the time!
[I have a point, stick with me here]
Remember when zombies were hard to hit because of the old game mechanics still under development? Remember how terrifying the skeletons and creepers were? Remember how amazing and rare it was to find diamonds? Remember trying to make the coolest, mob-proof base?
Remember everyone being obsessed with Herobrine? Remember those gold and Netherrack summoning shrines? Remember the tunnels with redstone torches? Even if some of it was fake, it was still very real and made your skin crawl.
Remember when they added wolves in? Remember how cool it was to see them shake the water off their fur? Remember how hard it was to tame an ocelot? Remember the music being ridiculously loud all of a sudden when you were strip mining? Or the sound of the pickaxe breaking scaring you out of your mind!
Remember forgetting how to craft an anvil? (I still can’t remember half the time) Remember using shift and using your ‘sword block’ as a way of communicating with other players? Remember when Hypixel was new and booming with players? Remember when Skywars was first out?
Remember watching the YouTubers explore all this? Remember them making or reviewing mods? Remember them going through scary maps and everyone eating up their reactions? Remember how exciting it was to see another YouTuber through another YouTuber’s video? Remember the old roleplays and all the YouTubers getting together? Spectacular! Want to know the difference between the old days and the now?
We were exploring and learning together as a community.
Unfortunately, as time went on and the game grew, people had already seen certain videos and explored certain places. The desert temples that were once so cool to explore are now an everyday common thing.
Nowadays, it’s not exploding things together, it’s competition. It’s not “look what epic redstone contraption I made” but instead it’s turned more towards “I’ve made a bigger/better one” or “I can do it so much faster”.
I’m certainly not blaming anyone for this. It’s simply what happens to a developing game over time. Honestly Minecraft is unique because a lot of us grew as the game itself grew. It was a kid just like we were kids. How many games can do that?
But I guess the point of this post was more so for those of us feeling a little lost and forgotten with the new updates. For those of us who grew alongside the game and our community members.
Minecraft isn’t what it once was and that’s okay. We’ll forever have the memories and feelings from when we all first put that crafting table next to the furnace. No one can take that away.
