    Minecraft was really good back in the days, but now the Game is plagued with bad decisions and a declining game/studio.

    Minecraft was once a 10/10 game, then Mojang bought it, tried to pretend like Notch didnt do 95% of the work, and proceeded to destroy the game, making this pixelated game somehow run poorly on a top-end gaming PC.

    Did Mojang intentionally hire the worst developers in the world? I mean if you can't make blocks look smooth and clean, and also a gaming rig will lag if you've built too much, you've failed.

    Now, the hacks at Microsoft bought Minecraft, and took away the games from people who had only Mojang accounts! Fortunately i bought mine through Microsoft, but if i had bought this game and then Microsoft stole it and said i needed to buy it again, i would be pissed.

    At least the talentless company Mojang is gone. If i developed for Mojang and left, i would hide it on my resume. I would be too embarressed to let anyone know that i was such a bad developer that i couldnt make a game made for low-end pcs in 2011 run stable on a 2023 power-house gaming rig.

    And don't even get me started on the Switch port, which somehow manages to be worse than this.    … Expand

    Minecraft is a game about literal blocks. At its most basic, it's digital legos and a copy of Roblox. After these newer updates, Minecraft has become just random garbage. The coding is GARBAGE and the game can crash just by a skin that has 3 pixels more than the limit. I'll give this a 4, just beacuse it has somewhat of a good story line.

    I hate this game, for one reason. This game is so popular that children don't play any other games. There are so many good games for their age, with much more quality, and children keep playing this. I think children are dumb today because of this game and they don't discover other games to play. This game is a reflex of our society.

Oh and they removed the minigames from the titlescreen over 3 years ago.

I myself love the game and have over 1500 hours in it. It is simple, it is fun, it is the perfect sandbox game I love to play and loved to play through the last 5 or so years.

    But it gets only 2/10 because of how ungrateful Microsoft is and for the new 1.19 "report" button, which is the worst feature ever added and Microsoft refused to remove it. Now you may be thinking: ,,well, Silverfish zero zero three, you suck, second thing, it is to prevent online predators and bad people from reaching to small children". To that I will say good point, but not really the greatest. Back in 1.15 or so, trying to access multiplayer menu would show a screen, directly warning the players of content unsupervised by Mojang or Microsoft. When the player clicked on continue, they were aware of the risks (and parents were as well as kids). And now they care if their tiny Steve is playing on a server that he joined completely by accident, and it happens to be a server where everyone speaks freely and uses some... let's just say... "extreme" words. So Steve, scared of what they see, is going to press the panic report button, ultimately ending the fun for all players, just because of one kid joining by accident, into a community they did not belong to at all. This feature is extremely bad for servers without any behavior regulations such as 2b2t. If I wanted to play on a server where everyone speaks 18+ stuff, I should have the right to do so and not being spied on by Microsoft. This feature can also be used to ban people you don't like, so report bombing is going to be a thing such as OptiFine cape bombing used to be back in the day. Plus servers now cannot make their own rules, because Microsoft now stated shared rules across all servers this very hideous way, pointing a huge middle finger at all players. Server owners and administrators were always moderating their servers by themselves, and it HAS to be like that, because moderating a server is fun (I was a helper on one server before and I enjoyed it)! Microsoft is destroying everything!!!    … Expand

    Thank you Mojang for releasing the 1.19.84 update. Thank you for listening the immense backlash which had you delay the Java version of this update. Oh wait no, no you did not listen to the community, you ignored us. This game used to be great, now Mojang has committed themselves to ignoring their fans, DO NOT BUY. Stay away from this game, that is all.

    If u do some changes dont ruin it like Nokia and dont force to use like IE or Edge. Google is usually better because simple the best in one thing do the same with Minecraft. I dont see any benefit from migration for players. Safety is no reason, maybe even opposite. U maybe just want to migrate it to MS Store. Firstly fix and rebuild MS/Xbox store its very bad. Only maybe Origin is worse but with new storage/secret system u are.

    Old review:
    Standard game 2/10. Java edition + mods 10/10. Windows edition 4/10.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Java edition: not perfect but 10/10 for hundred of chillout hours. Without mods game is too poor.
    Few mods :
    a) graphic mods - i cant find better looking game with voxel open world with them (today my favourite are ZalyWarm and SeusRenewed) and textures packs (favourite Patrix or without parallax conquest reforged)
    b) mods changing rules: Pokecube or Pixelmon - catching pokemons, hack and slash mods, building and managing city, industrial/automation mods, immersive railroad
    c) universal mods like cutting trees with single block, other terrain generators, rope bridges,...

    My suggestions for development (for better chillout):
    0) Some new chillout/survival mode
    a) There could be option/mode when could hire or train some guardians with survival zombie mode. Zombie free zones with some walls, enough soldiers. No zombie just some medival war mode. Improving village security guards could be some reason to play.
    b) villager automated mines even without digging by them. Could hire workers simillar as guards. Villagers usually doesnt do anything (sometimes they farm). There there is no some village center or controls.
    c) option to make weapon/tools unbreakable or some better repair points/villagers/methods some good economy with it.
    d) companions which could be killed (maybe only with some new "chillout survival mode")

    Windows edition: bought only for RTX card. Too much vanilla. RTX could been good but still had many bugs. There is big problem with textures and customizing.
    Worlds to purchase are filled with someones creations but should been blank page option.
    Cannot mix features or its too hard. (Maybe its good for children or less to bugs, but store could get more money for selling features like: train systems, furniture, working with every map and minecraft version.)    … Expand

    The 1.0 version of the indie phenomena is still obviously unfinished and flawed in many ways, but it's so easy to forget that when you're building your dream castle, exploring scary caves and vast mountain ranges and having a great time in its blocky world.
