Minecraft has a diverse population, to be sure. Everyone from my little cousins to people twice my age from all over the word play it. I don't expect everyone to want the same experience as a gamer who has been playing for over 2 decades, but I hope you can understand why this is such a grand improvement for us.

If you aren't great at games or you just don't want to deal with a challenge, you have and have always had options: You can play on easy, you can play on peaceful, you can play in creative mode, you can turn off mob-griefing, etc. All of these tools are available to you without any mods or additional hassle.

If you wanted a real challenge, you didn't really have that many options. Sure, you could put the game on hard or play in hardcore mode, but that really just updates stat values behind the scenes or greatly ups the cost of death. It doesn't require more skill or create a more nuanced experience, it just affords you less mistakes.

The people who only like to build have gotten plenty of updates aimed just at them. This update was for us: Your survival players, your pvpers, and your end game content crushers. And, honestly, that's fine because our concerns are no less valid than any other players.

So, before you get all upset and start demanding that Mojang change your game back to the "perfect" state it was coincidentally in at the exact moment that you were most invested in it, maybe remember that you have a slider in your options menu to take you right back to the same unengaging, watered down experience that you so crave.

If you hate the update because of PvP changes, I don't know what to tell you besides try to keep an open mind and experience the changes before you summarily judge them. Like flying the Elytra, it may not come as naturally and it may be a chore to master, but once you do you'll be soaring through the heavens.

Mojang, thank you for hearing our pleas and adding new content for everyone, instead of just focusing on making your game as mass-appealing and easily digestible as possible, which is what most game producers would have done in your shoes. Your bravery and dedication to high quality deserves praise.
