I feel like all of the recent updates had this lackluster appeal to them. It might be because I’m outgrown it, but the last big update I felt excited for was the terrain generation one (I think 1.18?). Other than that I can’t really get behind any of them. I mean, archeology sounds cool and all but it doesn’t really feel like Minecraft. Also, while having more mobs is cool, it just doesn’t matter as much to me anymore. They keep pushing out these updates and it feels less and less like Minecraft.
nb4 “just play an older version” yeah no duh, I know that’s an option. That’s not what I’m complaining about.
I play on my Switch mostly, and it's gotten a little frustrating. It's like they don't even test the Switch anymore. For instance, I get notifications that say "Blah blah has invited you to play. Press the - button." And no matter what you do, you cannot reply to an invite. It you are out of the game, the - button does nothing, and ingame they mapped it to emoticons and there's no way to remap either. So they literally stuck another function over the same keypress without even giving a shit, nor do they care, since it's been like that for a while. Don't get me started on startup times. Why does it take 2 mins to even get the game up an going? It didn't take that long versions ago, but again, they don't even seem to test anything on the Switch. If you are on a realm, or any online game and you press the home button, say to check your friends online status, it logs you out of the realm or online game. You used to be able to pop out to the system menu, even check screenshots, and then when you popped back into minecraft you were right there where you were when you popped out, but now, nope, just logs you right the fuck off instantly. It's shit like that that is causing me to sour on it. Stop adding in new shit, and spend a cycle or two putting things back to like they were, and working properly. They forced us to move to Bedrock, and are now just crapping on it, thinking that we want more and more shit. Hey microsoft, we don't. We would just like the shit we have to work properly.
