im so glad that 1.9 is the most hated version 🤩🤩

1.9 combat update was trash. Sure, 1.8 and below was nothing but dragclicking and knockback, but at least it felt tense, fast-paced and mechanically challenging instead of being entirely reliant on timing.

Not to mention timing-based combat is super dependent on ping, which makes it unbearable in multiplayer when your opponent's on a high-end thousand dollar gaming PC

Actually, you can make a own customised gameplay by doing some well complecated stuff but you can do so you only have what you like, why complain of mojangs hard work?

1.10

the 2021 april fools.
the 2020 april fools added infinite dimensions, that made us think "the 2021 one will be far better!"
and then we got:
screensavers, yaaay.....

One block at a time ! It's so annoying and it's not the minecraft I know already !!!

Personally, 1.13 introduced tons of lag. The game now checks every Y level for Kelp, and this can heavily slow your game. It is also why most servers only updated to 1.12.2, although they support later updates.

minecraft frogs are cute

In my opinion, it might be 1.8. The actual update didn't add that much... I guess guardians, but not much else. For combat, I personally like Java's 1.9+ combat better than 1.8 and downwards in PvE, because it adds challenge to the game. For example, if you get backed into a corner by a Piglin Brute, you can't just click as fast a you want and just absolutely destroy him. For PvP reasons, I think 1.8 might be a little better, because when you are fighting someone you don't want to worry about timing, but has some flaws (I.E. playing against a pro that can get 500,000 cps).

No update is bad in my opinion although some have definitely been better than others. 1.10 is the most disappointing, you would expect them to do something special for the first double digits, but they only added polar bears, igloos and some other small changes such as fossils. Magma blocks, which were added, are quite useful though.

1.16, The Nether was a hard place before but now it's pretty impossible place to survive in. I mean I have trouble surviving in the nether.

I like to think about the fact that they continue to make the game harder for the kids. It seems like they are focusing on what their older audience wants. What happens when we the older audience no longer play the game? What happens to Minecraft then.

1.9 is the most hated factually, but I think none of the updates were "terrible" and calling them terrible is really just unfair. I mean maybe disappointing or not your personal preference but none of them were objectively just bad or anything. Also, why would you hate an update because of a new passive entity? They can be... fairly easily ignored. Like goats



EDIT: I've been playing the game since old alpha. I have had a lot of time to form my opinions of the game and I have concluded that there isn't a single objectively bad update. Now, that isn't to say that there are some that I didn't like for one reason or another. For example, I felt like for 1.10 they should have just waited until they had more ideas instead of adding something because they felt like they had to. I would have much preferred something thought out. However, I didn't hate or even dislike the update. Just means that I felt they should have put more time into thinking of an update. I also wasn't a big fan of 1.4 when it came out, as at the time (and still to a degree nowadays) I wasn't a fan of multiblock-features which I felt like the wither was pushing for. But now, as someone who has had more time to think it out, I genuinely wouldn't really have this game any other way. I love the journey that this game has made and am honestly disappointed by the new wave Minecrafters. It's disappointing to see people that take these updates at their base level rather than understanding everything that went into them and that led up to them and all the implications they have for the future of the game. To new-wave Minecrafters: Do better. Stop complaining about everything you don't see an immediate use for. It's toxic to the community, I hate to see a community that I love dwindle because you guys can't see past the surface

this thread is all just hate towards people who don't share the same opinion as you.🖕

1.16 is hated by speedrunners and others because they made finding a fortress HELL.
My reason why I hate it is because they didn't even WANT to touch The End, it just looks old and boring nowadays.
1.20 NEEDS to be The End update.

1.18, the caves and cliffs update. Decided that caves and cliffs weren't enough and even the plains biome looks stupid. Mining is slow and boring and no matter how progressed you are into the game you can't mine through deepslate. Its not optimized and it added something that looks cool but makes the game less fun to play

Technically 1.9 IS the most hated update. I mean it was an update that FIXED the existing combat bugs, including reach, rapidhit, etc. I'm glad they FIXED it; pre-1.9, you could literally download an autoclicker and win any pvp interaction easily. 1.9 FIXED that and made combat actually take skill, so I see why you all dislike it.

Worst of all is how most servers ALLOW 1.8 players for some reason??? It encourages abuse of bugs that are supposed to be gone since they FIXED them in 1.9, and also puts any real players that actually update at a disadvantage. I cant even tell you how many times ive been reach hit, hit MULTIPLE times in midair, and hypixel does nothing about it...

Actually I can; almost every. single. time.

I hate combat update at 1.9,cause that made pvp EVEN HARDER

Do yall even know how hard mojang is working to make a good game for us all??
REALLY HARD. Just respect their hard work
