Minecraft

Ehhhhhhh. I don't think this bodes well.
I want Notch to make Minecraft 2 as much as anyone else but I don't forsee it turning out well if he's just doing it to appease everyone. Hopefully this poll means he's come up with a good idea for it and has realized that it'll have a far bigger return on investment than his dungeon crawler.
Wouldn’t Notch have the mother of all non-compete clauses ever in his Microsoft deal? I doubt all the likes, retweets, and updoots in the world are worth risking a billion dollars over.

It has been over a decade, remember?

I have a lot of nostalgia for Minecraft under Notch, when updates were frequent and fresh, bringing lots of new stuff to the game constantly. That's a mood that is long gone now.

They released the next big Cobblemon update if anyone is interested. Unfortunately it's Neoforge/Fabric 1.21 only, we'll see if that changes.

Total Create Death.
Call me an autistic retard as much as you want, but this shit feels nefarious to me. A huge proportion of kids play this game, and with mods getting more easily discovered and easier to access, how many kids are getting exposed to trannyshit this way? I was thinking about this earlier because I discovered a "trans bee" in one of the modpacks I've been playing, but this is a far, far worse example.

Only autistic retards deny this, which is fucking wild considering how many deny it, what a world we live in.

A lot. You can probably find threads on here exposing that madness because there's sure as shit no one on JewTube going to even suggest that beyond singular individuals in a dicksword drama, you can bet your ass they'll do everything they can to make sure they use the "correct" pronouns (reminds me of >her prostate). It's way more than just mods anyway, you see stuff like that in real life often, but the "surface web" peddles that shit in spades and you're banned for suggesting that or mentioning it in a negative connotation. If they include eggs in that mod (eggs being the tranny term for vulnerable children they can corrupt, the sad thing is they're gleefully admit that) then you know the dev(s) has a bigger graveyard in their closet than initially thought. There's a reason why the term "protect trans kids" is popular, I saw that on a poster in front of my old kindergarten. Considering that school gave zero fucks about mental health and safety (one kid was nearly impales on the super sharp fence, first time I ever saw a pool of blood and someone near death, like it never happened the next day, anxiety was a myth to teachers and so was suicidal depression) you can imagine what horrible things they try to push on the youth.

The resourcepack? I saw that once and insta-deleted the modpack. There was also a bee in one of those 3 big bee mods that has one which I used a mod (in-control) to prevent the spawning of. Cancer. Malicious at worst, and always assume the worst with troons.

I don’t really see what a “Minecraft 2” can even offer that hasn’t been tried before. Obviously nothing can complete with the absolute magnitude, but the only things I can think of are focusing on a particular aspect and polishing it to a sheen - which has been done (Factorio is basically 2D “modded technical Minecraft” writ large, there’s that vagabondstory game, etc).

Someone could write a version of Minecraft that was much more performant or better architected but that doesn’t change the gameplay.

The idea just doesn't make sense to me, because really, what can you do that hasn't been already been covered by the first game or mods surrounding it? There really isn't much uncharted territory left, especially not enough to fill a whole new game.

I genuinely cannot wrap my head around how you can even do a Minecraft 2 without it just being a lesser version of Minecraft, or as you said, something mods have already done. There's plenty you can say about the way its being run, but Minecraft at its core imo is the picture perfect idea of what a video game CAN be, and its staying power is a real testament to that. Theres almost nothing you can do to "improve" it that the dev team and modders haven't already done over the nearly 20 years the games been around.

I have to agree with Broadside. I think Notch is just bored as all hell and just wants something to actually do with his insane wealth.
 
I cannot play Minecraft without developing a headache for years, which is why I rarely touch it nowadays. Used to not be this bad in the early days. I've tried playing with the FOV and turned head bobbing off, but I'm shit out of luck.

Maybe I just need to get a darker themed texture pack and low brightness.

If Notch does pull off a Minecraft Boogaloo 2, I hope it doesn't hurt my head like Microsoft has done.

I think notch isn't talking about his penis necessarily, here. I think he's making a sly joke about how Microsoft is dickless.

I read this thinking you were going to talk about the community or something, sorry about your condition. Do you get headaches from other games besides Minecraft?

Just Minecraft pretty much. The only other game that has given me a similar headache is the short section of Silent Hill 2 Remake when I was in tight corridors of the prison with the small areas iluminated by the bright flashlight being the only thing I could see.

I've read a bunch of people mentioning headaches from playing Minecraft yet it's still strange to me, I can only guess that the pixelated textures and how the game looks overall just right to fuck with certain people's brain, maybe something psychosomatic. One person's friend I read straight up can't look at the game, their brain refuses to process it even slightly, they can look at a house and just see a bunch of colored blocks on top of eachother without understanding it's a house. Another said that turning their screen brightness (not the game's gamma, in fact turn it up) down a lot helps, and considering you got a headache from that SH level you might get some relief from this?
And just to be clear, no matter what setting in the FOV you put it to it still causes this issue? First person in MC is visually strange, maybe third person might help? Sorry to hear otherwise.
