I've been searching for good youtubers on the Minecraft topic for a long time. I think I got a couple of good-ones whom I really really enjoy watching, but that's it (I'm not going to put those in for now, it could be seen as advertisement). So, I think that my point of view could be a good confrontation start.

1. I really like Let's Play series and the biggest error I see on all of the videos I've tried to watch was the absence of cuts. I don't want to see people grinding out everything. I understand the "building" part, from time to time; the "redstone" stuff too. But not just mining or chopping down threes, c'mon! I've seen 2 different solutions to that, the simple cut or the timelapse stuff, pick wich one you prefer maybe.

2. We are not therapist, I understand talking about something from time to time, but I ensure you nobody wants to know what you did with your family today. There are vlogs channels for that.

3. Too many minigames, tutorials and "catchy titles" with missleading contents. (PS. This troll stuff is getting out of hand clearly).

And I think that's it for now. I don't know if i'm gonna add anything anymore, but I bet people are gonna suggest lots of more improvements down here. Please don't take this as an attack, take it more like feedback.

Peace

I've been trying it out for awhile and while it was rough at first I am warming up to it.

First off, there are lots of trees and shrubs. The biggest pain is to clear out an area to build in. Jungle trees aren't too bad but the big oaks can be a big time waster. The bushes below don't help either. With that said, there is something very satisfying about carving out your own little home in the dense woods.

Secondly, it's isolating. I'm lucky enough that I'm fairly close to an ocean so I can boat out to different biomes, but aside from that it's given off a lonely vibe that's a little unsettling but interesting.

Lastly, it feels like you are surviving. This is probably the biggest positive for me. I've got a nice little plot of land with everything I need on it, but I know if I wander off too far I might not come back. Overall if you haven't tried it I feel like it's a unique and challenging experience when compared to other biomes.

TL:DR- Try surviving in a jungle biome! It sucks, but I guess it's a good kind of suck!

I realize that an immediate reaction to complaining about console versions would be to get a PC. Ultimately I agree with that, but putting aside cost of a computer and everything, this post still is relevant to the PC version as well.

I want to start by saying that I think Minecraft is one of the best games ever made, and the frequent updates just further asserts that. IMHO

BUT. Lately I feel like the developers don't have any idea how the more long term, technical players play the game. Either that or they just simply don't want to develop the game for that audience.

Either way there has been a significant effort to remove technical mechanics and glitches that are harmless to most players except the few technically minded minecrafters I mentioned.

I would be able to understand this decision by the devs if they also gave as much effort to fix the numerous game breaking bugs that have been in the game for years.

My gold farm and my guardian farm have both been nerfed by ~%80 since the last update to the point where the gold farm especially is almost worthless.

Again, just my humble opinion, but I would fix 1000 things before I nerfed gold and guardian farms.

If they continue to ruin the game for people who dedicate hundreds of hours clearing ocean monuments and building portal farms, I hope they add enough llamas and 1 time spawning mobs to keep the kids invested.

For now I will continue to exploit the game no matter how they try to prevent me from doing so. I simply ask for a little more focus on polishing the simple mechanics before driving the technical community away.

Thoughts?
