Reinstalled Minecraft recently and had that exact same reaction. I fucking hate how busy the new launcher is. Compared to the Utilitarian old launcher.

Back in the day there used to be such a minigame called "dwarves vs zombies" which a few different servers ran. Probably the most fun I've had on Minecraft ever. Unfortunately all the servers are essentially dead now
This brings up a new question:
What mini games do you miss playing that servers don't have anymore?

For me, there was a server that had something called "Earth Games", where you would fight other players in a dirt arena and use shovels to dig around to make your own paths. There was chests in spawn that let you buy weapons and armor with points earned from killing enemies.

The nu-launcher isn't meant to be a launcher, it's supposed to be an ad wall for Minecraft products. Same as the modern minecraft.net site. If you can actually navigate to the content you want with expediency they consider it a design failure because the goal is to advertise Bedrock Marketplace packs to you.

What mini games do you miss playing that servers don't have anymore?
There was a very popular gamemode back in the day called Dwarves vs Zombies. Everyone would be on a team of dwarves with different roles and you had about 30 minutes to build up a giant castle to defend a central structure. People would build walls, ramparts, battlements, towers, etc. to defend, but some of the food-makers would build little bakeries and hand out food to people who went by. After the building time was up, a random set of players would be stricken with a plague and become monsters who had to raid the dwarven stronghold, kill everyone, and then demolish the central structure. Any dwarves they killed would become monsters, and there was no "win state" for dwarves, so the goal was to just survive as long as possible, culminating in an epic last stand on the structure.

It was a blast and there were times I'd just mainline it for like 4 hours a day every day. The problem is that the one server running it was made by a guy who wanted it to become a "real Minecraft server" so it started constantly going down so he could add SMP/factions and a whole bunch of other SNCA content. When those plans fell through (because people just wanted to play DvZ) the server died. I think there are fan recreations now but they probably add a bunch of gay retard shit.
 
Honestly it's kind of hard to enjoy Minecraft nowadays. For a game about "doing whatever you want" it's always the same repetitive gameplay.
1. Get wood
2. Build tools
3. Build house
4. Mine for resources
5. Build better tools.

Not really any other way to play it.

What was that server called? I played DvZ a whole lot when I was younger but the actual name of the server it was on is escaping me. MinePlex had a somewhat similar minigame I really liked where there was a “king” in a castle that half of the players had to defend and the other half played as the invading hostile mobs trying to get to the king and kill him.
