@sun@mikemccaffrey It really shows in 1.13 and newer versions. Pillagers and related are the most useless mobs ever, while being very annoying. Phantoms are just there to annoy you to bed and nothing else. Raids serve no purpose other than to annoy you. The cave generation is so bad and boring since 1.18, it is unbelievable. Villager trading got so overpowered to the point of being able to skip most of the game with it, which got nerfed later for obvious reasons.
But hey, at least it has foxes now, which I had in Mo' Creatures in 1.2.5 Technic Pack.
@mikemccaffrey I don't know, since Microsoft bought Mojang (which Notch sold), the game has turned into a heap of disjointed ideas and useless cruft. It's as if it was lacking something called "direction", which a certain previous owner would provide.
@phnt@mikemccaffrey I don't know why people can't admit that a problematic person, however you define that, might be good at something.
I have been there for the whole ride, I got the game in first beta and still play it now, and after Notch left it's got some cool new stuff but the charm is gone, now like you say it's a grab bag.
