Minecraft is such a fascinating game, I could spend all day playing it

Can I say both?

There's a lot I like about Minecraft, but I hate some of the things Mojang/Microsoft is changing about it. I'll never deny my belief that they're a bunch of soulless drudges.

And then there's my creative block. Sometimes I open up the game and do absolutely nothing. I could never get into survival. I've tried many times, and I always lose interest in the world I'm on. Yet, I can't do a data pack, resource pack, minigame, or other crazy project because:
a) I've got non-Minecraft stuff I want to do in life
b) the commands or functions just won't do what I want them to do simply because it's not possible (thanks a lot Mojang)
c) the passion isn't there and I don't really have anyone to share it with. Past experience tells me no one really gives a sh** about adventure maps or minigame maps anymore. They won't give much feedback or appreciation for a resource pack or data pack you worked hard on, even when they've downloaded them

Can't live without it(sorry poll closed)

maybe a little

definitely not a hater...i just don't play

one reason is because it doesn't run well on my pc
another reason is because it just doesn't hold my interest for very long...i'm more of a breath of the willd/ tears of the kingdom/ terraria person myself
it was introduced to me by some old friends of mine and the game became more of a social outlet, but those old friends aren't really friends anymore so the game lost its purpose
that said i do return to it once in a blue moon...a very rare blue moon

i do enjoy making content for it though, thus my reason for existing here on pmc

Loving it...

To me, and I probably speak for both of us over here, Minecraft is the kind of game which somehow always manages to catch your interest again, one way or the other. Before this month I haven't been playing for quite a long time, in fact.. we were more focussed on Empyrion (= "another game") as of late but the main reason we got interested in that is also because it is a bit of a Minecraft-like game. Just set out in space.

So this month things changed. I set up a Minecraft LAN server for us to play with during the Holidays, powered by Forge. To be very honest I still don't care as much about vanilla Minecraft as I used to, but this month my gf and me got completely sucked into the game again thanks to our collection of favorite mods. As I was hoping for the mods, and all the extra ores and stuff, made our mining trips really appealing again. Well, the mods and the new caves & cliffs environment to be perfectly honest: I really came to enjoy the bigger expanded world a lot more than I would have given it credit for a few months ago.

We play on 1.18.2 btw, because some of the mods we love only support up to this version. Suits us fine anyway because it was caves & cliffs which somewhat made us stop playing in the first place ;)

But yah, I've always been quite a Minecraft fan. And I can prove it as well!



Yah, and for the record... there's a bit of history behind each of those accounts. Well, local history; related to the server which we heavily played on at that time ("Empire"). But still... when you're building and messing around then nothing beats having a 2nd window available to look at things from another perspective. One thing led to another and before you know some players actually thought "TheOtherShell" was actually someone else, despite me telling 'm otherwise (yet not stopping the roleplay) ;)

Good times :)

But yeah, that's my story. Figured I'd share because I >< missed the poll and I love Minecraft, always have!

I am a minecraft lover aka an Minecrafter

I'm just Minecraft player

Silly question given the venue in which asked…
