NEWS: I posted my first Minecraft youtube video. It's about smth I'm trying to do, to get back the Minecraft Legacy Copy from my old PS4 disk. Click on the thumbnail! If you have suggestion to achieve it 100%, I'll hear you.
I've been disconnected for a while because of an operation, and know I realised I got Silver in the Art Jam with my Greco🥈 and Bronze in Carnival of the Cursed with my Consumed by Mother Nature🥉. Thank you very much to all of you for the support, you are the best!!!
2023 was a good year for my content (I believe), as I went through the most difficult skins to make, both in detail and shape, I refer to my Ganondorf skins (some of my favorites so far). If you haven't seen them yet, check them out please!
To anyone interested in MC Lore and reading, I announce that I'm currently working on a serious essay explaining Minecraft Illagers, tittled The Illagers:A Minecraft Anthropological Analysis, and once finished it will published here free to anyone. I will comment my personal pov of them getting based ONLY in Vanilla Minecraft, explainning their origin, customs, ideology, etc, comparing them in many ocassions with real life historical cultures.
Well, know with mc live concluded, we have the copper stuff (which I dont't mind, neither dislike), the nautilus (which look off for Minecraft's identity because of the animations, but the mechanic is ok and the fact that the drowned ride them seems great for me), but the bittersweet part is the spear, for me. There's a reason for it, it's a feature that I like (I love this weapon irl when fencing) and it brings zombie horses to survival, but all the complex mechanics of it, animations of the weapon and so makes me feel it wasn't official and that it was something else.
Yesterday I had a bit of an argument in my historical fencing club about Iberian Destreza, and while remembering the skin I did, I thought that a spanish 1600's skin would look awesome for the Jam.
It is!!! If you are curious look for HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) on google, idk why it's unknown for the general public but for history and martial arts nerds (like me) its just perfect.
I want to talk with you guys, to know your opinions on this matter.
I never talk too much about my opinions of current Mojang and the path that Minecraft has taken, and I feel I want to comment this with you and so other things, because the overall community argues a lot of it and I don't like polemics.
Maybe if i just summarize to those who don't want to read all, and just keep in mind that I'm against current Minecraft because that's the main idea of the post. Now, what do I mean with this. Minecraft, as every videogame, has an overall identity, mechanics, aesthetic, even feelings provoked in veteran players. Normally, the creators improve their game but tries to keep THAT essence. For instance, my personal feeling about minecraft makes me love the village and pillage update, because they actually improved something that had a lot of potential (villagers) while giving some lore with one of the most badass mobs (pillagers), while keeping that essence mentioned before. Recent updates (except the nether which also was necessary), implement random mobs that I think nobody asked for, that have no big use in-game and break the aesthetic of Minecraft, looking like it was some weird mod (like cammels, for instance, which are not pretty useful, but ABOVE that, they look NOTHING like a normal mineraft animal, with excess of detail and complex animations, compare these with a pig or a horse, for instance).
Mineraft has an identity crisis. This is something that usally never happens in a game when they listen to what players want (that "mob votes", where a squid that did nothing won over the Iceologer, which, sorry, but I just can't believe it to these days, as it was at least an interesting enemy for snow biomes that are quite empty), or zombie-pigmen, deleted or "remastered" to look like the new stuff, when, maybe, the new stuff shoud be based in that original essence, not the other way around. That's why for the last couple of years I only play up to 1.14, with some exceptions for the nether update, but mostly between 1.7.10 ans 1.14. In fact, my most popular skin right now, the Flameologer, originally came up to my mind as a protest of all the good things Mojang could make and players would enjoy.
Less frogs and more real Improvement, (like the End). To end this, I'm not angry with people enjoying the latest versions, games have that purpose, this is my pov on how I would enjoy it more. What do you think?
snow biomes deserve some update, just adding powder snow and foxes is not enough. How about adding frozen variants of mobs that would give you a freeze?
Sorry, maybe I didn't explain myself. I'm from Spain, here almost all universities are "public", that means you pay a little, but you need really good grades in highschool (that counts a 60%), and to do a hard exam of each subject done by the government called "Selectivo" (selective exam, that counts a 40%), and depending on your mark you can do certain degrees or not, but you always have to pass it.
Well, I guess I've been lazy this year with the skins, I must admit I have been studying a lot because this year I'll try to enter University and I'm working hard, and the little free time I have I spend it with HEMA and learning more history, but I'll try to do some stuff.
