the zombification exploit is an exploit (unless they fixed it? idk I haven’t played since before the update with the warden), setting up a farm with the desired villagers is an absolute chore

Not sure what you mean ? Villager curing is a legit mechanic, and it’s not absolutely required. Personally i never bother, as emeralds are so easy to farm they’re basically infinite. I see what you mean about building villager “trading halls”, though, i used to hate it too. But it’s not really required either i guess. You can just pop into a village, convert 3 or 4 villagers to librarians with the trades you want : mending, unbreaking, efficiency & protection will get you most of the way even if it’s not maxed-out gear you’ll already see the difference. For more marginal enchants you can explore the End and combine equipment you looted from there.

It’s what i like in that mechanic, there’s various paths to acquire good equipment, a minimal setup will take minimal effort but if you geek out you can make yourself a god-tier kit that will stay with you forever.

Anecdotally I used to roll with a crew that had a bunch of PvPers who’d lose equipment all the time, so we had this huge kit-farming district in our base that was really fun to design and build. The system is pretty in-depth and i wouldn’t call it badly designed (even though it might not be to everybody’s taste).

A hundred times soulseek, all the music nerds are there!

I think what makes the game great is that it contains a number of game mechanics, which are all interlocked and play nice together. That gives it enormous versatility. You can be a nomad explorer, or a builder who stays at base and never sees a hostile mob. You can be a redstone engineer, or a farmer accumulating insane amounts of resources. You can create map art and barter with other map artists on the server. You can hunt bases and either grief them or contact their owners and get to know their history. You can play mini games on commercial servers or code your own mods and play PvA (player vs admin) on anarchy servers.

You can find the exact combo and dosage that fits your playstyle, then switch gears a couple months later and turn the game on its head. I don’t know of many games with that kind of variety.

Remove the XP cost increment upon repairing items, so that Mending is not an end-game necessity anymore

Yeah i see your point, it can get frustrating at first. Personally i don’t hate it, getting to keep your tools forever is an endgame perk and as such, it needs a bit of organization and knowledge. You’ll have to have at least some basic villager breeding (for a Mending librarian), and some basic farms (auto-furnace for XP generation & storage, or just some mob farm).

That’s kind of why i think the game is well designed. To get endgame perks you need to interact with different game mechanics at least on a surface level, it’s great for discoverability and inspiration.

What would you want to see different?

it’s about the pixel-art and the cubes, am i right ?

The irony of these projects is that they only seem to appeal to people who don’t really like Minecraft, or used to like older versions but not recent ones. They have zero traction among active Minecraft players.

I’ve tried most of them and honestly they don’t hold a candle to the original - not that they are bad games, but rather they entirely miss the point of modern Minecraft and why it is so appealling to so many people. Although (some vocal fraction of) the community likes to nitpick every single detail of every single update, it is an incredibly well designed game.

Nah the thing you’re trying to describe is just basic social awareness.

Yeah it’s pretty shit. My guess is torrent sites lost a ton of traffic from API users (stremio, kodi etc…) so they have to squeeze harder on those remaining page views.

OP asked for advice, not horny role play. You leaning into their kink is icky at best.

There is a trick! You first need to left click the magnet link, this will bring a modal vpn ad with (iirc) a “continue without vpn” button. That button is the actual magnet link

I mean, people also said that of the first generations of rockers who didn’t know shit about solfeggio. Then they said the same about computer assisted music production.

I think we don’t give the new generations enough credit. They might come at skills from a direction we find stupid, but they’re not stupid and they can develop critical skills just like we did.
