I feel like all of the recent updates had this lackluster appeal to them. It might be because I’m outgrown it, but the last big update I felt excited for was the terrain generation one (I think 1.18?). Other than that I can’t really get behind any of them. I mean, archeology sounds cool and all but it doesn’t really feel like Minecraft. Also, while having more mobs is cool, it just doesn’t matter as much to me anymore. They keep pushing out these updates and it feels less and less like Minecraft.
nb4 “just play an older version” yeah no duh, I know that’s an option. That’s not what I’m complaining about.
I don’t think I’ve played vanilla in a decade, modpacks are so much more fun in my opinion. Although I wouldn’t mind more mods being ported to more recent versions. But even modded 1.12 has way more content than vanilla will ever have. 1000% try modded Minecraft if you’re bored with vanilla, try modded Minecraft even if you aren’t bored with vanilla. At this point there’s got to be a perfect modpack for anybody.
