Why can't mojang just make the game pretty. He colored blocks are an okay start but look at that atmospheric tinting, look as those side block gradients, look at those edge highlights. would it kill mojangto implement touches like that?

It probably would, what the fuck am I saying.

Looks another shitty update again. If I was to play I'd rather stick to modpacks but even those are mostly tedious shit.

>>379390095
>what are texture packs: the post

>>379390505
Texture packs don't adress basic renderer issues, they just repaint blocks

I want engine changes. Minecraft's lighting and coloring is goddamn abysmal

1.8 wasn't as bad as people make out.
No, the real mistake happened when Jeb was put in charge. The game went downhill so quickly it isn't even funny.

Why would I play on the nearly-modless lastest version with parrots and llamas when I can have monster grills, waifus, magic and machines in good ol 1.7.1.0?

>>379391359
what happened in beta 1.8? I hanve't played this game since the jungle update or something like that

>No stained glass
What a joke

Why does it take minecraft devs so long to make shit when modders managed to update there mods like every week?

>>379400736
They literally have no ideas. They sit around doing fuckall and brainstorm at random, or they get (((Advice))) from Microsoft on what to add next so merch can be made out of it, like Parrots.

>>379385843
Seems more like 'monkey see, monkey do' than using creative energy, if you ask me.

>>379400736
Is modding even still alive? I haven't seen a new worthwhile mod in months if not years. It's all just modpacks with a different combination of mods now.

>>379386737
Isn't it literally the gay pride month.

>>379401243
Modding is "alive," but thanks to Curse Jewery everyone just makes their own flavor of the same, tired concepts because that's how you make the most Cursebux and Adfly Pennies.

>>379401243
I don't think so. I dont play mc anymore but i know during it's prime a few years ago mods were always being updated
