Is Minecraft going downhill? by ImJeezus December 21, 2014 at 3:12 AM UTC

Alright let's face it.
Ever since Jeb and Dinnerboner took over MC has been going downhill.
Mojang is just money-hungry now IMO.
And the community is pretty damn bad from what I can see now days.
So discuss.
Is it going downhill?

Tarheelkiwi December 21, 2014 at 3:12 AM UTC

No.  From what I can see, it is rising.  We just had a really cool update.  It is growing.

ImJeezus December 21, 2014 at 3:12 AM UTC

No.  From what I can see, it is rising.  We just had a really cool update.  It is growing.
From the current state of what I see, it's getting less sales, it's the #3 most sold game IIRC but that does not mean it's still strong.
Also, 1.8 was overhyped and is just a laggy piece of garbage.

BoldAndBrash December 21, 2014 at 3:12 AM UTC

1.4 full release = last good update

Yes it is very very bad right now. But that doesnt mean it is going downhill. The new updates are god awful and make me vomit, but players are still joining. 


1.6: Horses = No.

1.7: Some of the new biomes = NO.

1.8: Colored Beacons = Yes
       Server Features = Yes
        Other = Yes.



1.8 was pretty good.

It only seems like it's going downhill because you're personal interest of Minecraft is going downhill.

People are saying "Minecraft is dying" but in reality, it's doing extremely well.
Maybe you're starting to loose interest in the game and feel that it's going downhill.

That's simply not the case.

kycrafft December 21, 2014 at 3:12 AM UTC

Best updates:

1.8 beta
1.0 release
1.6 (recent one, it was ok at least)
1.3 (recent)

Sphrynax December 21, 2014 at 3:12 AM UTC

Eh, I don't really care. The Servers I play on didn't change that much so...

Doppelganger_ December 21, 2014 at 3:12 AM UTC

WelI think PVP is going downhill and becoming stale for mainly due to the fact that the meta is not being developed. Pretty much everything there has been developed accidental or not has been discovered more or less.

PvP is dropping because of the community and just bad servers tbh.

Im still somewhat addicted to MC, I've been playing Smash 4 a lot recently however,  I still have yet to find a good computer game because my PC is a piece of shit.

As far as I can tell, Minecraft hasn't been as popular as it used to. Along with this, I don't see Minecraft ever going away. I have a feeling that Minecraft will become one of those games that has waves of popularity without ever disappearing completely. It may have a few years of popularity and then a few dormant years, but will come back and be popular again. (This is all speculation, but this is how I see Minecraft playing out.)

Mega Taiga - Face it, who asked for this.
Savanna - Useless, considering the wood is ugly AF.
Roofed Forest - No, UHC nightmare.
Birch Forest- Birch is ugly as hell.
Extreme Hills+ - I see no use to hills still
Deep Ocean - What's the f*cking difference.
Mesa - Only somewhat good biome.

Mega Taiga - Face it, who asked for this. Who asked for it? You made me laugh. Do people need to ask for it?
Savanna - Useless, considering the wood is ugly AF. Adds a dry biome, and the wood is used in many builds. People were asking for more decor blocks.
Birch Forest- Birch is ugly as hell. Not according to most people. Lots of people I don't know wanted it.
Extreme Hills+ - I see no use to hills still You sure as hell do. People weren't asking for more dynamic biomes, no.
Deep Ocean - What's the f*cking difference. It's... deeper?


In regard to first post:

Not downhill as you referred to.  It's only a coincidence that it has seems to have gotten worse when Jeb and Dinnerbone took over. By that time minecraft pretty much gotten to the younger generation, and some of the more mature people were leaving because they got bored, and while the younger ones keep coming in the old ones are not "replenishing". It definitely not as popular, and it is losing players due to a number of factors, like life. It's a large fact that many have left to to nostalgia.

I hate saying this, but it's just my opinion.

You literally hypocrited yourself on Mega Taiga and Savanna, nice.

I meant dry biome as in a biome that classifies in the dry section when generating biomes.

Shoto_ December 21, 2014 at 5:12 AM UTC

It appeals to little kids more now (EULA [due to parents getting angry, but I can't really blame them for that part], lots of YouTubers playing it, etc.) and mostly little kids can be jerks (not all, but MOST in my experience. All of the jerks in game are mostly younger than 11.) and them being jerks ruins the community, and bad community=worse game.

toketrain December 21, 2014 at 6:12 AM UTC

the thing about minecraft is that eventually it gets old. the updates can't keep up with people. by that i mean that the rate at which you get bored with minecraft is greater than the rate at which they add new things to spark your interest for a while. for new players, it's still that magical thing you experienced when you started. when i started, i didnt know anything about the game. crafting recipes, different biomes, even how the game worked in the coding, how different aspects of it came together to create it, it was all a mystery. you see youtubers trying to keep themselves amused by doing mods or figuring out new things they can do, but there's not much you can do. everything comes to an end.

Oh boy, another one of these threads...

Mega Taiga - People don't need to ask for features to get added.
Savanna - The wood being ugly or not is your opinion. There's also horses, villages, and a lack of rain.
Roofed Forest - UHCers don't need to go in them, then. There's also other uses for them besides UHC purposes.
Birch Forest - Quite a few people could say the contrary.
Extreme Hills - That's your problem. Apparently other people do see uses for them.
Deep Ocean - It's deeper (obviously) and has Ocean Temples, which have some unique hostile mobs, gold, and unique blocks.

Roofed Forest - UHCers don't need to go in them, then. There's also other uses for them besides UHC purposes. There is something called spawning in a roofed forest. Ofc there is also, there is uses for everything.
Birch Forest - Quite a few people could say the contrary. Yes they can, note that it's my opinion.
Extreme Hills - That's your problem. Apparently other people do see uses for them. Yeah of course they do, i'm not the only f*cking person on earth.
Deep Ocean - It's deeper (obviously) and has Ocean Temples, which have some unique hostile mobs, gold, and unique blocks.  Note that the biome was made before 1.8 came out, before that there wasn't much use for it.

Robin_DD_J December 21, 2014 at 12:12 PM UTC

1.7 made "big" changes to minecraft pvp.
1.8 got some cool stuff added, but I'm not really sure what to say yet.

The overall community is pretty ok atm, but the Soup-PvP is dying and Pot is taking over. 
But IMO PvP will be dead in maybe a year or 2. Because of people are just hating, or just got insane ping.. Or anything like that.  
(If u got something to say against this, just don't.. My opinion, respect them)

And I have no idea why you criticize Minecraft, if u got something against it just quit the game. Or if u want to u can just go back to play on a 1.4 server or something. There is really no point complaining about a game u have no power to do something about.

You asked for opinions and then you try to convince, where is the logic in that?

Rogueblawd December 21, 2014 at 3:12 PM UTC

So you're saying minecraft is going downhill because you think updates are bad?
I used to frequent minecraft forums and I saw these threads with just about any update, yet here we are still. 
Sure it's going to drop in popularity over time but then again we still have servers with thousands of players around the clock. And this is almost 6 years after the release...

_Phyre December 21, 2014 at 3:12 PM UTC

Tbh, Minecraft is going downhill... Again as you said its the #3 Top selling games.. but it doesnt mean anything.. Minecraft can be sh*t.. All the people who buy it probably quit in 1 week after the crappy updates... and If minecraft logic was better, for example: Physics of gravity... So.. It makes sense that dirt can randombly float in the air... Again people might not agree with me... thats just my opinion. Diamond pickaxe: Seriously.. where in real life do you see a god damn diamond pickaxe... If you try to break something the diamond would shatter completely...

And overall if physics where added to the game, such as creepers blowing up can cause more rock to fall down, same with tnt. For example.. You are in a mineshaft and a creeper comes to you, and it explodes.. Its a tiny space and other rocks are not supported to some fall... And Tbh if you could chip off pixels of the blocks it would be a lot nicer.. But nope, mojang just needs to add more un-realistic things. BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. Yes I know.. "Minecraft wouldnt be minecraft with physics". To some extent yes.. but at least have an option in the world generation section, to what you want to play.. "There are mods for this". Screw mods, Seriously who wants to install mods? Yes some mods like optifine, dont take long to install, But other mods such as, lets say.. "Dragons mod". You need forge ffs, and then you have to go through stuff in you .minecraft to get it open... Screw that.. "If there were actual physics Minecraft would become a lot hard to some players and they would quit". ...There should be 2 options. One for Physical MC, and one for Standard MC...
"PVP will be ruined by physics". To some degree yes, The players would have diffirent animations and maybe even have a fainting animation... But again if you dont like that, there should be 2 options... Thats basically all i have to say, Note: This is just my opinion...

Sure, doesn't mean anything that is top #3 selling game... sure, yeah totally. Where is your source for people quitting after "crappy" updates? Afaik the player numbers haven't gone down.

And for your physics suggestion. Yeah... just no...
Minecraft doesn't have to be realistic, it's a video game for crying out loud. Balance comes before realisticness.

I don't know, Minecraft is personally not very much fun for me anymore, but I don't feel like the actual quality of the game has dropped as the updates have came out.

Mega Taiga - So if Mojang just added random bullshit to the game you'll like it? Yes, in fact. Just look at the Nether and everything in it, the End, Guardians, Command Blocks, Superflat Worlds, Amplified Worlds, Endermen, the Ender Dragon, Creepers, Mooshrooms, Withers, Killer Bunnies, naming mobs Dinnerbone, _jeb, or Grumm, and tons of other stuff that I won't go on about because you'll probably tl;dr me anyways. All of these things are either popular in the community or are nice easter eggs that generate some good laughs.

Savanna -  Horses in a Savanna? Ok then, logic. Considering dirt can float, trees are able to be punched down in about twenty seconds, and the fact that pickaxes can be made out of diamond, Horses being in a Savanna seems somewhat normal.

Roofed Forest - There is something called spawning in a roofed forest. Ofc there is also, there is uses for everything. There's something called running out of a roofed forest.

Birch Forest - Yes they can, note that it's my opinion. If you hate Birch, then don't go into Birch Forests, or just run out of one if you spawn in them.

Extreme Hills - Yeah of course they do, i'm not the only f*cking person on earth. You hating them because you don't see any uses for them is still your problem.

Deep Ocean -  Note that the biome was made before 1.8 came out, before that there wasn't much use for it. Just like there wasn't much use for the Nether besides a couple blocks, until Beta Pre-1.9.1 came out.

@Mooch Yes, another one of these threads where someone rants and swears about how they expect Mojang to fit their exact needs. As a result, they believe that Minecraft is "going downhill" because features are being added that they don't like. Simply put, if someone doesn't like Minecraft anymore, then what's the point of complaining about it on a forum thread that Mojang isn't going to see anyways? All it does is spread negativity and downcast.

No, I would rather have not have threads complaining about lag, as well as threads where people state negative opinions. If you're going to rally about how you believe that Minecraft is going downhill, then go to the Minecraft Forum or just flat out message Mojang instead. Avicus is a terrible place to start.

And, please tell me, why are my points terrible? Telling me they're terrible without telling me why isn't helping your argument. If you intend to give opinions on my opinions, then at least give me some rebuttals.

Also, just to make you happy, here's that last paragraph without using the word complain.

People on MC Forum are retarded and Mojang does not give one single shit because they are mini-EA.
And I'm not optimistic, big woot, having a least SOME negativity is good.

Saying that they're "mini-EA" is going way too far. They don't rerelease insipid games just to get more sales on an audience that is somehow perfectly fine with buying the same games over and over each year.

goldenwalrus909 December 22, 2014 at 1:12 AM UTC

Personally, I think that all the new updates are taking away from the simple way Minecraft used to be. Maybe it's just been because I've played a lot, but Minecraft used to have a lot more of a "special" feel. All these updates are adding all this new stuff that takes away that minimalist feel to it.. :c

Solux December 22, 2014 at 2:12 AM UTC

I'd say it is. I recently read that they are going to introduce a story-mode and now that Microsoft owns it, who knows where it will go.

"PVP will be ruined by physics". To some degree yes, The players would have diffirent animations and maybe even have a fainting animation... But again if you dont like that, there should be 2 options... Thats basically all i have to say, Note: This is just my opinion...
Woah woah woah, who ever said Minecraft was meant to be a realistic portrayal of the Earth? No one. I'm pretty sure it's obviously to most of us that Minecraft was build to be a creative outlet for people to have fun. It's a game. I don't have a problem with this thread, but honestly, I couldn't care less if you don't like Minecraft anymore because or "I didn't like the new biome" or "I don't like some mods". Guess what, some people do!

If Minecraft is a game that you don't find enjoyable anymore, go find some other hobby!

lets face it. it is going downhill. The player base is dropping not only on avicus but the other big servers as well. the minecraft community is now a bunch of whiny kids screaming hacker and dont get me started on the merchandise

the upddates are somewhat decent but i feel mojang just wants money. also, 1.8 is dumb. Well ts not all that bad. The only thig that stopped me from playing as much is because of the water. the water in 1.8 breaks cannons because it moves primed tnt. cannons are wrip. the updates is not really causing to make minecraft go downhill but more of the community in general and playrs losing intrest in it.

Edit: please pardon my speeling im typing on a mobile :/

It's not as much that the game itself is going downhill, it's more of the fact that the community has become almost at the same level of toxicity as the League of Legends community. For that reason I think that Minecraft has seen decline that you posted about.

What has lead some of you to believe Mojang is now "money hungry"? I'm just curious to know, since I haven't noticed any change myself.

"In the last 24 hours, 17,669 people bought the game." That doesn't scream "Minecraft is dying" to me. I haven't noticed a shift in the community becoming "everyone is now a 8 year-old screaming kid" and the amount of players on servers looks exactly the same to me as it was half a year ago.

If ya'll going to mount this argument, please put some sources showing the decreasing number of Minecraft players, just saying it doesn't make it true.

Now that I think of it in detail, the game is a sand box game and unique in itself. It will last a long time due to the large number of possibilities.

I just seen some servers on my server list and the usually average number has gone down a bit. Take hypixel for example. When i look at it in the server list before and after, it has gone down. Even OCN, on my time zone, its usually around 700 players it used to be 1000+. This is because players have lost intrest in minecraft and its probably why its going down hill

Every game cannot last forever. Each game will have a downfall at somepoint because nothing can last forever. ITs like iphones where its popular at one point but a new one comes in and no one buys the older ones. ITs just like minecraft. New games will someday surpass it so even though people think its not going downhill, it will go downhill eventually

To conclude i maybe wrong about player base (just my experience k) and the community is going down a lot. IT used to be not as toxic as ever vefore. Seriously all i see is screaming skydoesminecraft kids and other little kids screaming random stuff in chat. Then you got the immature kids who just scream, HACker, HACKS, and just cuss just cause they think its cool. The community is going down. I mean, it was abd already but nows its just worse.

In terms of updates, i guess its ok. No change really. Just dont like 1.8 due to the water :/ I personally lost intrest in minecraft due to updates not being fun anymore.

In terms of community and server netowrk base, ya its going down ish. idk

Minecraft will last a pretty long time but it will probably will get no popular anymore. Well, it would be still popular but people wouldnt play it as much
