    lol. i haven’t played anything past 1.20.1 because they’ve added nothing meaningful imho.

    shader mods will forever beat out anything mojang could possibly code. they’ve proven they care only for money and not their player base.

      I mean, realistically, they were purchased for 2.5 BILLION dollars. That’s a lot of return to try and chase down. Money will indeed be on the agenda.

        The money isn’t going to come from the game… It’s gonna come from licensing… Everything labeled Minecraft that isn’t the game…

        Games are hard… Tshirts and cheap plastic toys are not

          Its Microsoft we are taking about. They are not gonna be content with couple avenues of revenue. Everything must make billions or they will be thrown into the oblivion.

      I’m glad java and its array of mods exist. Name one game where mods made it worse! Minecraft is AS great as it is because player-coders made it great.
