This is a post to brainstorm some ideas about the game and what it could have been. I’ll start by listing some old features that I really liked:

  • As I mentioned in my previous post, isometric screenshots. They just look good.
  • The old smelting system. It was only in indev version 0.31. You would smelt iron by using flint and steel to ignite a fire in which you would then drop the iron ore onto the fire, producing iron ingots. It was definitely faster and more “atmospheric” than the current way of smelting in my opinioni even though it was simpler.
  • The saturation of Alpha and below, it makes the simplest places look nice.
  • Indev world types.

What are your opinions and ideas?

    Why do caves look so ugly? I got into a Minecraft binge a few weeks ago for the first time in years and was shocked at how ugly the caves were. I get that there are new materials, but it makes exploring suck with how bad it all looks. Anyone else?

      Possibly the worst take in the history of mankind, old caves were so boring my eyes would glaze over trying to go through them.

      I love the new caves in 1.18+. Their monumental sizes combined with the new underwater cave systems makes exploring them so much fun.
