no

I feel like they just need to slow the fuck down with the new content, fix the bugs and leave the modding community once again to its devices. But yeah, Minecraft is a flame that is slowly dying down.

Minecraft is never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever gonna die!

I think we're getting into a period of consolidation

Minecraft will never die, it was made to live on for years. Making it's way into history as the Greatest Survival game ever created.

The day that minecraft dies will be the day we dont need computers anymore

well i think it will die if the old styled servers won´t come back. i mean; wo likes to join on a server with 1.000.000.000..... Worlds and only one world where you can build houses and that world is a plotme world. I have something against plotme because you loose your creativity with it (everywhere in the world the same boring plots. houses, which don´t really looks nice in all these plots...). Or the rights on a servers; everyone with money can buy everything (VIP/Moderator/Admin/Co-Owner). These guys just use their rights for bad things and stupid things (like these ugly flipping words everywhere in the chat and the overcolored signs.

====> So; If the Old simple server´s (cities in ONE world, A city-integrated spawn, and owners that give out rights to the people that are made for the rights) won´t come back than minecraft could die saddly!

Well, if it does die for an unfortunate reason, reincarnation or a reviving spell is always an easy option.

I think everyone has bought it Lol, jk, It's probably never going to die down. I WON'T LET IT. MAUHUHUH

i hope it isnt dieing. i have noticed less lets plays on youtube, but as long as updates keep coming out, and the community keeps making mods and maps and textures and skins, minecraft will never die

dkjjrProbably wasn't 20 years ago, but I thought it was a 2006-07 release

Minecraft's development was started on May 10th, 2009.

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki

Its development didn't start in 2008 or before.

Minecraft is a game that will always be around

For all saying that guy who said it was released 20 years ago is wrong, what about minecraft classic? Wasn't that released before Notch even started working on minecraft? Probably wasn't 20 years ago, but I thought it was a 2006-07 release.

On the point, I don't think it will "die" anytime soon. Like other people have said, if Mojang stops updating it, modders will take over, which I cannot wait for. Whenever I'm bored of Minecraft, I just imagine a game where people like Elo, Pahimar, sp164x, etc. make minecraft v\infty without lighting errors, land generation however YOU want it, mods easy to install even for the noobs who ask for installers (its not that hard right now, but some people just arent very smart :/) and it can be revamped with anything you want in a matter of minutes. That's when minecraft will reach it's full potential, and only many years after that point will it start to die.

Minecraft cant get boring when you have the Mo, creatures mod

Minecraft will not die ^_^

I think when Minecraft dies, and mojang releases it for free and stop development,
4j studios may continue development on the Xbox version, and modders may keep
adding stuff to the game via mods. So, basically, I'm saying Minecraft will die,
but it will be brought back up by the remaining community.


I usually have an obsession over a videogame for around a couple of months, but I've had an obsession for Minecraft for over a year now, so I don't see myself quitting
Minecraft anytime soon.

If I could cry, I would, sadly though, I am a robot. Well said Chrome.

I will never die
NEVER
xD I copied this from someone else

Minecraft is and always will be my favorite game, no matter what anyone says about it, no matter how many people stop playing it, no matter anything, I will always play and enjoy it! Besides, lots of famous youtubers like CaptainSparklez, SkyDoesMinecraft, and EthosLab will always be recognized for their minecraft stuff!

Minecraft is actually not that old either, it just passed it's third anniversary and it's already sold more then 10 million pocket editions... and that's just the pocket edition, never-mind all the other versions.

Plus with all these websites (including this one), modifications, plugins, and other stuff, and with more and more people buying the game, the community just keeps getting bigger!

In my opinion, Minecraft is not dying, it's only just past the beginning part!

Yeah Minecraft won't die, I'm pretty sure Notch used a "Splash Potion of Immortality." on it. Plus, who doesn't love addictive block placing? I know I do.

God, who cares? I mean this happens, and basically its not really fun anymore, to be truthful. I mean on multiplayer servers there are all these idiots and such. Truth be told those servers run off the money of the donators, so its like a chain.

Buy Minecraft--> Money to mojang---> goes on server, donates----> money to the owner.

anyway, minecraft is dying, plus with all these kids, it never will be fun again

Minecraft is never gonna die because if you delete Minecraft from your computer it will still stay hidden deep down in your hard drive (unless you delete it about x100 idk how it worked) and even if you destroy the hard drive you still have Minecraft n the individual pieces but you could melt the drive and destroy Minecraft BUT WHO WOULD DO THAT? (Not meh)

Well....this post is becoming a bit off topic.. even if it somehow DOES become a RPG, then that doesen't mean it will die.....

Minecraft is limited by your imagination. As long as people do cool stuff Minecraft will live on.

I'm not saying it will stay forever, but it has sold so many copies that it can last much longer.
The problem is immature players who demand everything and tend to ruin things. But it is inevitable that as a game grows it will attract unwanted attention.

Minecraft will NEVER die...

Haha, NEVER!

I don't think Minecraft will ever
*puts on sunglasses*
Dye.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Once hackers can hack everything ( They can ) but then faster, I dont believe there will be a thing called internet.

The reason it's slowing down is because so many people are buying it, there's less and less people TO buy it. As the other guy said, we will have more generations after ourselves. Therefore, MINECRAFT IS FOREVER.

There will be a time when development will stop completely, and Mojang releases the source code. At that time... well.... Modders Galore. Along with modders new game programmers will try and pay off of Minecraft's success, and thousands more clones will be released, (Eh, what am I talking about there are already tons of clones, ever heard of Crafted for the iOS? It's the exact same thing as MC... but 2D)

I don't think Minecraft is dying, but if it does, my backup game will be happy wheels. Also, I think happy wheels would be the game that replaces Minecraft if it dies.

The way I see it, Minecraft will never die,
'cuz more and more people are still buying
this game. Not long time ago it has been
sold for 1million times.

And with every update the game
is getting better.
New biomes came, new mobs, a totally new world,
so f***ing many new items, like books you can write in,
or enchantment for your weapons.
And now horses will come to the game.

With all this f***ing cool stuff that is still coming
this game will never die.

What's with all these people saying, "jebs makn it in2 rpg!!!! miencrafs dieing!!!!!!!!"? It will die out eventually, but not because Jeb is "making it into an RPG". It's not an RPG, potions don't make it an RPG. Extra tools for mapmakers don't make it an RPG.
Does anyone even know what an RPG is? Basically. . . Not Minecraft :I

Dont worry I just checked the minecraft site and saw that the numbers of people buying the game is rapidly increasing but you'll probably get bored of the game and leave by the time mine craft STARTS dying dont deny it someday you'll get bored and move on nothings lasts

I liked minecraft when it was small, but now I don't think it is dying at all. It is really popular now, well at least where I live. I don't like to play multiplayer anymore because it is filled with 8 year-olds asking for OP. That is why I don't like it big.

Like I said before (at some point ) Minecraft will eventually run it's course, but I think there will always be a community of people who play it, no matter how small.

I loaded up an old 1.7.3 jar (Aether)
The old MC versions weren't as great as you remember them, the lighting was terrible, the landscapes were ugly (Very broken Gen layering)
It wasn't fun, not as much as I remember it.

If minecraft does die, then ill have a mental breakdown, but minecraft IS a very popular and well known game, and if it is dying, it wont be for a LOOONG time, so i wouldnt worry about it, and people quit and join every day, anyway, you shouldn't worry about it, as far as im concerned mojang will continue to progress development on this amazing game c:

no

Every game eventually "dies".. Just take any "used-to-be popular" game live Modern Warefare 1 and compare it with games two to three years later.

Benyboy30001I see where you are going, when I bought the game back in early alpha, the game was something new, something different, something fun! Up until about 1.2.5(After beta)things started to go down hill, I really thought they where adding to much, I miss the old glitch's and the good 'ol build and mine kind of aspect of the game. As of now in 1.6 they are adding horses, I remember back in 1.8 when it was cool to have the animal mod, and it still is cool today! So we don't need them horses, because not everyone wants them, so make it a optional thing. Plus many of the good mods that I used to use are still at 1.2.5!!! As you can see 1.2.5 was one of the major breaking points in Minecraft, I miss the good 'ol days just like runescape, if you know what game that is...

Anyways, that's my opinion.

If you don`t want the stuff coming with the new update, then simply don`t update.

I would if I could, but I play on many servers, so I am kind of forced to update, but you do have a good point.

minecraft will never die!!

watch my youtube series if you think minecraft is dying, I'll try to entertain ya.

I'm 26 and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. I enjoy the progress they keep making, it makes it real fun for map makers like myself.

Hope this helps, me stating my opinion.

Thanks.
