Minecraft has changed by NetworkPCE

In 2009 when Minecraft was made public for the first time, as alpha. The game was very simple with low amounts of goals, aside from building and surviving. It had simple caves, creepers, zombies and other mobs. However, unlike today the game was very simple.

Graphics were different, cobblestone as an example looked completely different. It became smooth and completely changed my view on Minecraft.

Later on when multiplayer was made for Minecraft, it was a huge success and the people loved it. However, servers were made to enjoy the game, to play with your friends.

Back in 2009 - 2011 Minecraft was a game that you played for fun with your friends, you built your house, you gathered some diamonds. You tried to build a town. You made amazing tnt cannons to shoot at eachothers houses.

2012 - 2014 Added: Craftbukkit, Commercial servers, More modes, mobs, ender dragon, more worlds, more graphics. It all became different, it's nothing like 2009. Unlike the old Minecraft today it is filled with hackers, DDoSers and ridicolous features.

PvP is one of the most popular server modes on Minecraft, PvP is not a serious part of the game. Survival and building is what Minecraft really is about.

Today making a server is a way of earning money, most servers just exist to earn money. Shit tons of it.


Nowadays, old players from the alpha times have stopped playing the game. Wonder why? They changed the game far to much, wolfs were still ok. But brewing, enchanting, and The End.

So to the end of the conclusion, Minecraft is no longer the building game. It's a do whatever you want game, where servers are money making machines. Where there are more hackers and DDoSers than COD has ever had together.
Yes Minecraft has changed a lot...

I disagree... I mean, sure, it has changed, but a couple of months ago, I watched a YT video about pokemon names and where they come from (I'm not a pokemon player, it was just a Game Theory video, and GT is awesome).

Anyway, the guy on the video talked about how pokemon players complain about the new names, even though the old ones were equally awful. I mean, come on, 'Muk'? A pile of.... sewage. When red & blue players say "Oh man, the new one sucks, the old one was great", they seem to miss over the fact that pokemon designs are nearly always weird/stupid.

There's a name for this, though I can't remember it, where people only remember the good things about something in the past. This is exactly what's happening here.

People complain about Minecraft changing for the worse... but let's face it, there have always been a few issues with Minecraft. Besides, Mojang have added more good things than bad, and with such a vast fanbase, Mojang probably found it difficult to communicate with us.

It's literally impossible to satisfy fifteen million people.

Yeah, hunger was starting to be a bit to realistic, the functions were not bad, but it didn't it Minecraft at all. As they had been going with the old food regen system for years, it was a strange change. Let's be honest, hunger is probably one of the most hated features in Minecraft.

I feel the same, even wrote a sort alike blog about it, and yeah mc has changed, but servers did too, and so did the community, it attracts different people now, as mc has become really popular, back then it wasn't that known, so only people who knew friends who played it or people who were active on game related sites would know this.

dia + sub for you

Actually, Minecraft is meant to be a "Do whatever you want" game. Building is just one of the main aspects, just like PvP, Modding, etc.

I don't really understand how Minecraft pvp got popular though, all you do is click on your mouse and move around. Sure you can be better than others are Minecraft pvp, but if you want to play fighting games, play a game thats specifically meant for it. Where you can actually get really good and such, instead of running around clicking.

Yeah Minecraft sure has changed, I'm playing it since december 2010 it was in late alpha back then when I started. Until 1.7 Beta or was it 1.8 Beta I didn't own an premium account, but once I got one I never regretted that choice. I remember exploring different servers for hours, man was I a noob on servers back then xD.

Minecraft sure changed but I can't really point out any drawbacks in the never versions. I only see improvements. The game lags way less then it used to, there are more blocks to build, more in game commands, which enable changes to the world environment behavior, command blocks, and so much more. And don't let me start to talk about all the community projects which add so much to the game.

Ok there are ddos attacks but I don't remember to see less of them in the past. I think that more serious server owners have realized that they need a top notch network security to run a server hence, more of them invest into them earlier, which is never a bad thing.

For those who would like to go back and enjoy survival with their friends, Mojang has added Minecraft realms. Or if you are a bit more of a computer person, you can run your own server, using a simple VPN (e.g. Hamachi) to be more secure and enjoy it that way. If you have a tiny bit advanced computer skills, then you can even set up a Bukkit server, add cool plugins, and enjoy the game even more then plain Minecraft.

If Minecraft wouldn't constantly advance from Mojang's and community's side, I'm quite sure I wouldn't play it anymore, thus there are almost no drawback compared to the past.

Thats your opinion, and i respect it. I agree that Mojang added several features which were GOOD, however to much is still to much. I have never really enjoyed the whole concept of pvp, since when was Minecraft a war game?

When again, nowadays we have a much larger amount of hackers, ddosers and problems. The reason is pretty simple though, in a big community there are always a big amount of flaws.

Again i am not planning to change my mind about the server payments though, the only ones who should earn money of a game are the developers. Mineplex even pays there staff, Mineplex is a business not a hobby for the owner, the same goes for many other servers.

Well with servers are like this. They offer you some candy if you pay for something. They need money to run their servers, it's not for free to run one and they definitely should earn some money since they did something for you to enjoy. The policy of Minecraft is made so that you can't sell mods or any ad-dons for Minercaft, you can't make a living that way but what you can do is make a server which is for free, but something that will give you special features is something you should pay for. I don't see something seriously wrong with that, and Mojang doesn't sees that as bad either, if they would then there would be a lot of law suits going on ;)
