yep! started a new world the other day, couldn't get past building a tiny house (and even then i couldn't find a location i was happy with)
- i don't like combat, at all. back to drawing board with this one
- monster spawning, they either spawn in dark (so you gotta light everywhere now, no playing with lighting, or deal with jumpscaring creepers blowing up your builds) or through spawners (not that bad, but i think it could be better)
- (that one could be controversial, but) i think blocks are too big. you could make dimensions ~4x (or at least 2x) smaller and it would be better, i think. this especially shows up with wooden blocks, which have like 20 variants per wood type, if blocks were smaller, you wouldn't need slabs and stairs and whatever
- minecarts could use a redesign too, since almost no one uses them, at least for long-distance transport
- building on scale isn't great, which sucks in a building game :v
i could probably come up with a lot more, lol
im making a new smp w my friends soon and want to get the setup perfect. im excited! id love to hear what problems you think about!
I'm curious what your criticisms of minecraft are. my problems are that
- minecraft is a building game, so adding a bunch of not very fun rpg mechanics to it doesn't make much sense.
- the actual tools for building things are very limited.
- I wish there were more building related goals
a further part of my opinion is that I kinda want minecraft to be a different game. like, I'm a big fan of complicated mod packs where you build a huge factory and automate a bunch of stuff, but that's very different than what vanilla is going for.
Please let me make minecraft microsoft, I promise I will be very normal and marketable and not add a realistic ac electricity simulation and actual realworld geology and water simulation and hydraulic erosion and deposition and-
ah see, mine goes in a different direction but i definitely do agree with you
- the 1.18 (terrain generation overhaul) update was fun but the terrain feels really uninspired and bland to me now?
- getting around pre-elytra is really boring and annoying
- peaceful mode nearly entirely locks you out of certain sections of the game (explosives, brewing, archery, the entirety of the end)
- villages feel really isolated and somewhat pointless
- boating is neat but I wish it were better
- most of the middle of the game feels like it wants you to grind to get the perfect set of tools and armor and that grind is really dull and annoying
i feel like i have good ways of approaching most of these but I dunno
