Hello everybody!
this is my first blog and it's about that 1 thing that almost everyone is thinking about:
what is happening to minecraft?

Well..... with that i mean that alot of people are complaining about all the updates and that it isnt being minecraft anymore. This is for a bit true because for all the Alpha players of minecraft they knew the game as a giant world with just some blocks and endless creativity. But now a days minecraft has grown to mutch more with all the updates. But the big question is: is this a good thing or not?

Now everyone has there own opinion about this subject but i think this is something important. Is notch ruining his own game? with all the new stuff added more and more people are playing not for the creativity ( what it was supposed to be about) but for the goals and the end and other stuff...

minecraft has grown to sutch a big thing that it maybe even destroyed his old version of it. People say that it isnt the good old minecraft they used to know. Long ago minecraft was just a mutch easier game. But now you need to watch your hunger. People think that that is not necassery and that stuff like that, just more stuff is to make the game look more epic. And if you now want to beat the game you need to fight and kill the enderdragon. but isnt that the thing that minecraft was all about? That you couldnt beat the game itself? These things make it like a whole new game( yogscast reference) and maybe people want there old minecraft back!

Now there are some other things that are quite disturbing: the minecraft edition for the Xbox and even a pocket edition! these things are the proove of what minecraft has become. A game that just wants more and more people. Afcourse, it supports mojang, they get more money, so they can make more epic stuff but if there is 1 thing that most of the people hate, then it is a pocket edition of some or another game.

Well that was something i just wanted to point out... I know that also alot of people dont think that all the updates are destroying minecraft but it keeps a thing that has to been noticed.

i hope you liked this blog and feedback is always welcome.. Oh and 1 thing i wanted to point out aswell: i do not personally think that the updates are destroying minecraft. I think they make the game bigger and more noticable. But alot of people were complaining about this subject so i made this :P
show your oppinions below in the comment.. Il try to react to everyone.

Well here's my say: people complain because it ruins the creativity with all the new stuff, but in Creative, the new blocks add more things you can build, so more creativity... Try to build a huge fortress with cannons, dispensers, bedrooms, redstone mechanisms etc in Alpha... Then do it now. Which gave more options to creativity... And you can just downgrade to old patches if you like them so much. Or play the Classic version on Minecraft.net. I don't see how knew stuff is "ruining the creativity"

I agree with you: the blocks and everything can even expaind more of the creativity! As i said more times: this is not my opinion.

Look, alot of minecraft has changed. new biomes, new blocks, and even new mobs. Also, notch as added villagers and even a boss. but look at it this way, you can still play minecraft like the old ways. like, use mods to backdate ( i would like to know of a link to a mod like that, not youtube please). Minecraft, is going into trading and even pyrimids and stuff, but thats not bad. And i love that he has added creative, and adding adventure, xp and levels are also good. The boss, i which there were more though.... I think notch may add more dragons and new npcs but minecraft can still be fun.

(Posting this at version 1.5) So far I think that Minecraft isn't too bad yet. I dont think the adventure update ruined the creativity of minecraft either, it gave us more to work with, and I dont think beating the dragon is really "A end" to minecraft. it's just another step towards another goal. my killing the dragon you get XP to make enchanted items which you can use to completely mine out the end of its resources and with your newly acquired end stone you can make something epic :D

I'm probably going to read the whole entry at a later date, but hasn't Minecraft always been a survival game since the very early stages of alpha?

I do not remember ever playing creatively with this game at all unless it was at a most recent date (like when creative mode was officially added). I'm an alpha user and I remember the days when Minecraft was possibly only known by 4chan's /v/ among a few other chan websites. All they wanted and perhaps still do was more features for exploring and survival mode.

Was Minecraft really suppose to be that Lego simulator that everyone calls it?

Note: I joined the phenomenon around alpha phase so I never got to play indev of infdev.

Your right with that. But in indev it was just a open sandbox with placing and destroying blocks.

NOTE: i agree with you.. its not my opinion that its destroying the game. not at all! i just wanted to point this out

I did play a little bit of Infdev using a version switcher, but the problem with that is that I don't know how accurate those things are. Did you really start in a pre-built house?

One thing I did like about it was limited worlds meaning that sooner or later, resources would run out forcing you to use more renewable ones.

But I didn't play much because the textures looked like puke compared to now and I got bored. :
