To be clear IM NOT QUITING MODDED MINECRAFT! Just covering the stuff surrounding it, im going to focus on developers rather then historical and current events Also, join discord? discord.gg/cygnusmc

Brother while I love the game and basically agree with everything u said. Minecraft is too big not to spect to have at leas 100k people in the community that are either idiots or assholes. I suggest taking it easy and not leting it get to you (more easy said than done) as still most of the people love the game and the developers, even the people who agree the game could be handled better.

I am a mod dev. And like yeah, technically we can push out a lot of features, maybe more than Mojang itself. But we don't have to worry about the game itself, the servers, the technicalities. And we got bugs, many bugs. So, mods are mods, and while awesome, their success does not mean Mojangs failure. Sure they have made mistakes, but who doesn't? They are trying to fix it and I believe they are doing so really Well! And for the question of mod loaders: who cares, really? Yeah sure, sometimes I see a cool fabric mod that I as a forge user can't use, but oh well. All four are good, what's the issue.

[@Thunderbolt18367]

People like you are DESPERATELY needed in the Minecraft’s shitty community. You are one of the most positive people I’ve seen in this community in years and this video is fantastic.

Honestly I think nearly all of the "heated topics" people are constantly arguing about and blaming Mojang for have a pretty simple explanation if you just stop and actually think about it for a minute, and I find it really annoying when even massive creators with lots of influence just blindly follow these trends.

I hope you keep making videos because they are very interesting and often talk about things that can't be seen anywhere else. 100 people might be able to talk about why mojang is lazy or something but there is only one person who tells us about the history of modloaders and server software and that is you!

I originally almost entirely left the Minecraft community back in October because it was just so damn hateful. I’m a third-party creator for D&D, and that game’s creators are actual corporate assholes who tried to illegally deauthorize the license people like me use to make stuff and make a living. We fought back and won. And then, a couple months later, here are these spoiled little brats trying to act like they’re oppressed and that they’re rightfully taking what’s there’s?! It made me goddamn sick. Mojang is one of the best developers out there. Good content, healthy business practices, and listens to the community. This community doesn’t deserve Mojang.

Another example is 1.20 when it was in early dev and they announced only features that were complete & not announce things that arent fully coded yet & make disappoint, but players still complained, just like when biome revamp was not in 1.19 & cave update got split in 2

[@Cygnus_MC]

An honor seeing you here! And correct, Mojang promises less out of fear of dissapointment

[@Myne1001]

*Cave Update split in 4 but I see your point

[@theConcernedWyvern]

I saw people first complain that the update got split in two and then later they complained that the caves and cliffs update was "just" a terrain update. Im no game dev expert but I am at least a touch familiar with coding and I almost lost my mind. Revamping a whole terrain Gen system, adding new underground biomes, which they hadn't done before, dramatically increasing the world height and extending it to below level zero which was probably hardcoded into the game since it's inception, is phenomenal on its own. Not to mention a new structure which is literally a city, WIRELESS REDSTONE, copper, which helped clutter in the modding community, and probably a ton of other stuff I'm forgetting. Mojang did so much in those two updates and proceeded to then add whole new boss level mob with unique mechanics later as well. All people can do is complain, it seems. I'm tired of it. Compared to so many other companies, Mojang is phenomenal. Also the fact that they understood when they needed to split the update, informed the community in a respectful way, and actually took care of their workers. As far as I'm concerned, Mojang is up there as one of the best game developers. They are absolutely not lazy and it's digusting to see their "community" try to tear into them like they have been.

[@guard13007]

[@IMC-zx6xl]

6:27 Thank you for brining this up, fr. I think the main thing that I would say on this though is that cubicmetre's was seriously lacking in the department of explaining that paper is not bad, but that it is not for technical players. I think he was pissed because he was getting a ton of comments of people asking why things don't work on paper, and that showed in the video. The video itself was informative, but also horrifically simplified and the title was quite misleading.

[@AurelienSama]

Good video straight to the point ! Regarding the buyout and delay between 1.8 and 1.9. I actually attended all the irl Minecraft Summit in Stockholm And jeb said at one of them that the delay was cause by the legal process. Bassicly the whole code was put on pause and nothing could be added until the buying process was finalized, wich took close to a year. Then after they sought to correct the game from all the Notch code, wich took several update as we know. Hope that help clear up a bit this past event.

[@Ishbosheth.]

I too have been very frustrated with some of the toxicity coming out of the Minecraft community as of late, but I will say that I don't think the whole space is rotten to the core, and it *is* possible to step away from the toxicity and find communities and groups that aren't that bad. I do think a lot of the toxicity has been a vocal minority that has ruined it for a lot of people, but I think the best possible solution is to simply be the change you want to see. I personally have started trying to go back to the simpler way of playing Minecraft, not caring about all the opinions that are constantly being thrown around, and I have sometimes been surprised to find myself simply enjoying things that I would have normally thought I wouldn't like. Even though I personally may not like everything that mojang has done in more recent years (frankly, I never liked everything that was changed, so nothing new there) the game I once loved is still there to be played and enjoyed. Don't let them take that away from you :) I've appreciated your efforts to cover less well known projects that are attempting to unite mod loaders, and your efforts to shout the pros of all the mod loaders (rather than blindly subscribing to one or the other). Choose to continue making videos or not, but thank you for what you have done.

>Paper is not designed for technical players One of the issues with Paper that Cubicmetre brought up: it's Bukkit fork that keeps dangling a lot of outdated stuff. Also he shown a case when Paper happen to perform much worse than Fabric server AKA just vanilla MC with a little bit of extra™ >Fabric at the moment does not have the tools for *list of things* I guess you didn't even bother to look up for server side mods then. Recommend to check out Patbox's mods btw, he did a lot of cool stuff in this regard and even beyond >Forge can be performant For owners of weak machines it's often the case that they literally can't launch Forge modpack consistent of similar mods as Fabric counterpart. I've heard of plenty of such cases. And even when mid tier PC is on the table, when we're speaking in hundreds of mods, each FPS, each TPS is a huge victory. People don't use ton of optimization mods to play Bedwars in 5000 FPS, they do so to play modded in stable 60 FPS rather than witnessing their stable 60 FPS dropping to 10

[@Cygnus_MC]

Paper: Bukkit is showing its age, but its always been the best choice weve had for a long time, fabric is just now getting the mods its needs Fabric: Im actually interviewing Patbox and his PolyMC software soon, cool stuff but i guess you didnt "bother" trying to make a minigames server on Fabric. Forge: I litterally just did a video that mostly prove there was no difference between fabric and Forges modloaders as forge nowadays uses mixins more and more, loading takes longer yes but now embedium is out i can even get 60 fps with 100 mods loaded on a 970

[@Nord_Act]

@@Cygnus_MC Patbox made Polymer, not PolyMC. One is a library and other... something very cursed imo And as of Forge performance situation: it's manually issue with Forge's libraries doing some things in not really efficient way, as far as I know. And I'm speaking about pre-NeoForge. Sure, you can just say "screw it" and via some hackery with mixins and access transformers bypass all of its systems with your own interpretations, but most modders will choose easiest route

[@Camper_Samu]

This video pretty much sums it up. The only thing I campaign for is to make everything on a single loader, kinda like the old days when we only had Risugami's. For this I suggest Fabric because it's very lightweight and minimal, fast to update and is already home for a ton of solutions, but nothing prevents a new loader to be made exactly for this purpose. I look at Paper and I realize that it can very well live in modules inside something like Fabric, its API be split from most of the optimizations. The whole community needs to wake up. People don't realize that there will always be drama and splitting into projects solves nothing, that the more we split the more we hurt ourselves. The same goes for Linux, the recent Hyprland fiasco is disgusting from every point of view as an example. We need to stay strong. Lunar and everyone that helps keep this amazing channel alive, keep doing your job, we need to start somewhere and having an educator like this one is a great milestone.

[@OrangeCat__]

There's a mod called Cardboard that aims to implement bukkit, spigot, and paper APIs on top of Fabric.. It's a WIP, but looks promising.

[@Camper_Samu]

@@OrangeCat__ I know this goes against what I said, but Cardboard should be avoided like the black plague. The lead dev is kind of a fraud, with multiple incidents of stolen code (should be somewhere on DramaMC) and multiple lies about the status of the project. (the code used to have hardcoded checks to report some plugins as working even tho they weren't) Politics aside, both Cardboard and Banner (from a Mohist developer) tackle the project in the worst way possible, using the @Overwrites function in a lot of places to do the job quick and dirty, breaking comparability in the process. (Banner is slowly improving on this aspect but it's far from usable and stable) The only time we had something like this working well was with FukkitMC, but the project died due to a lack of time from the devs. If you want a more complete statement on the status of Cardboard and Banner, you should check out Patbox's Gist on the matter.

I agree.

[@SpartanNat]

POV: You’re a Halo fan so you’re either a Bungie shill (A good thing apparently because old = objectively good) or a 343 shill (A bad thing apparently because new = objectively bad). Apparently I’m a 343 shill because I prefer Infinite to Halo 3 even though I could write an essay on all the issues I have with Halo Infinite; any of my praises for the game are apparently too circumstantial but all my criticisms are also not enough because 343 bad Bungie good. I’ll praise 343 when they do something good (Firefight is honestly really fun still and Forge is the most powerful map maker it’s ever been) and I’ll criticize 343 when they do something bad (POV: Halo Infinite shop prices). Infinite is not the peak of gaming, but neither is Halo 3, and it’s crazy how invested everybody gets into their franchises instead of stopping, looking around, and realizing we’re all attacking each other over something we should be coming together over the love instead of bicker if the old stuff or the modern stuff is better.

[@Cygnus_MC]

Its more about my personal experience more then the actual reason tbh but maybe

[@lunashenck]

My theory is that the explosion of popularity in 2019 caused it. Before pewdiepies series, it was not cool to play minecraft. Like if people found out you would be made fun of. So the community was mostly made up of people who liked the core gameplay of building cool shit. There were always pvp servers, but it wasn't nearly as popular as it is now. Once minecraft got super popular again though, newer players who are used to more combat focused games latched onto those servers. You can also see this in the kinds of youtube videos that were popular. Before 2019 it was mostly just mod reviews and a couple smps. But then with the new players, it switched to manhunts and speedrunning, which appealed to the newer, more competitive players. In 2020, they released the nether update, which added a new dungeon and a super powerful tier above diamond, which gave them the impression it was a progression and combat based game like terraria. However, because minecraft is not really a combat focused game, these people get upset when updates do not cater towards them. Sure cherry wood looks nice, but it doesn't make more powerful weapons or improve my personal record, so that means its useless, right? Sure a camel adds some nice atmosphere and is a useful early game mount, but why would I use that when I can speedrun the game in half an hour and get an elytra? Basically, people can't appreciate the game for what it is, so they criticize it for what it isn't TLDR people want minecraft to be terraria when its more like digital legos

[@hardVatsuki]

@@lunashenck well, back in time we got called nerds for playing any game in general, that was slowly declining and since covid even more normies started to play games. I can understand why they are upset about minecraft being different game that they expected it to be, I personally find minecraft very boring - I tried beta versions, huge modpacks - nothing got me interested yet, I don't know exactly what is the reason for that, highly possible it is just not my thing. But it is still good to comeback to the game eventually until I get bored again xd

It has been quite a while since I last subscribed to a Minecraft KZbinr. I am also sick of the complaining, and ungrateful people in this community. I started playing Minecraft at the end of 2019, and I've seen a lot of stuff and learned a lot about the game. I would have never thought a game would last as long as Minecraft has. The fact that it even gets updated still is amazing. Sure, there have been things in updates I didn't like, but it's still Minecraft. Thanks for sharing something different than other content creators, your video seemed genuine.

I would hope that on the side of custom modifications more projects would merge, especially the mod loaders/server software, so that most shortcomings can be addressed.

This is the reason why I enjoy the Beta-Minecraft content so much lately. People still upload videos playing beta 1.7.3 and even encouraged me to play it myself. I enjoy it, it's simple, it doesn't have overcomplicated mechanics that have been added and started a new war on why Minecraft "sucks" nowadays, no arguments about which version is better, yada yada... JUST a simple version of Minecraft you have to get into because it's been such a long time. And it's great! Now Imagine needing a year to release an update, changing things over and over and over again and having so many meetings over some pixel content for a game. And when you finally did it, your boss is finally happy and your anger towards this whole situation can be turned into a feeling of pride and happiness, some smooth brained-"organisms" as I would call them here rn, go into the internet, talk big as if they could do everything better and call YOU lazy after making all of this. It's not like Microsoft is the reason updates take so long. Look at the poisonous potato update. They could fingersnap new features into the game like Thanos, but Microsoft wouldn't let them.

I play on bedrock and it’s tiring arguing with friends and I hate it. Someone needs to stop the Java community from being so hateful.

[@Vulcagon]

I'm agreeing with almost everything in the video but the one thing I hate the most is that Minecraft seems to not care about the redstone community at all. They refuse to add quasi-connectivity to autocrafters (which wouldn't just open a whole new world of opportunities, it would also be more consistent since droppers and dispensers react to qc already) and didn't wanted copper bulbs to have a one game tick delay just because these kind of things don't exist in bedrock. But as a redstoner who made redstone in both versions, redstone in java is waaaayy better than redstone in bedrock, it's more reliable (due to update order) and there are a lot more things possible in java than in bedrock (also because of qc). So there should rather make bedrock redstone more similar to java than the other way around (the only thing I miss in java are movable block entities). The things Minecraft didn't want to do because of bedrock where also things everybody in the redstone community heavily wishes to be done and I see no reason to not listen to the redstone community when it comes to redstone features since they know best what's best for Minecraft redstone. I just think there's no one in the Minecraft team that has knowledge about redstone and they don't think it's a big deal for the redstone community to implement the new redstone components differently (not how the redstone community wishes). I also have the feeling Minecraft hates that qc exists in java but they can't just remove it since this would break too much. Minecraft just disappointed me as a redstoner too often lately the reason why I lost all the hype for the new update and even quitted Minecraft. I don't get why Minecraft doesn't listen to the redstone community at all.

[@Cygnus_MC]

U know what, thats completly fair

[@syedomar1060]

What do you mean by "They refuse to add quasi-connectivity to autocrafters"? Autocrafters have not been added, and it seems like you are already making assumptions. How do you know that Mojang refuses to add quasi-connectivity to autocrafters? I don't think minecraft hates quasi-connectivity as it was added in april fools 2023 snapshot/update, probably to test the feature. Mojang is probably planning on combining the java redstone system and bedrock redston system together. The only time I can think of Mojang messing with the redstone community is with the copper bulb change, and I can understand being disappointed in Minecraft for that, but not to the extent you are feeling. I am not a redstoner, but I feel that Minecraft adding autocrafters in 1.21 which is more focused on combat is enough. I do think Mojang focuses on other aspects of the game more such as building and combat, so hopefully one day minecraft receives a redstone update to satisfy the redstone community.

[@PhonyLyzard]

I think the main issue is that Mojang knows Redstone is quite complex already and wants to try and make new features easy to understand. Still holding out hope that they're trying to make the old copper bulb work on bedrock and that's why they haven't added it yet. I still think the crafter is pretty good though.

[@PhonyLyzard]

Actually there are people who work at Mojang who are redstoners. Gnembon for example.

[@quazimanipulation4121]

quazi connectivity was a bug that was never suppost to be added into the game, it makes redstone incredably unintuitive and difficult to understand for the average player, mojang has made it clear that they do not want it to be a part of the game (with them not adding it to the bedrock edition which is already notoriously buggy)

[@Meowser-vu6if]

I just hope that eventually, we get a modloader that everyone can agree on. I know its probably not going to happen, but one can dream. I do greatly appreciate mods like Sinytra connector for trying to achieve this, and i'm not trying to hate on one modloader or the other, I just think it would be really nice if everything could be done together.

[@forest_895]

Great video, I wish there was a modloader that allowed any mod to be used with it.

[@doomsdaydoc6129]

I was saying the exact same thing! I rarely find bugs in the game (sometimes in mods but very rarely) but that also could be due to the simple nature of the game 😀

[@SRAZKVT]

hell i'm a technical player and even i play on places with spigot or paper sometimes what we're saying isn't it's bad overall, it's great at what it aims to do, it's just not good for vanilla survival

[@dustyMiller_photo]

Minecraft has been in my life since beta, scine leaving school, getting married, even now my daughter plays it with me and I have a son on the way who will undoubtedly join too. That fact that it is a quality game that has stood the test of time should tell the community, everything we need to know about it

[@joejoetv1337]

I would call myself a technically interested persaon in regards to Minecraft and have played around and created things with commands blocks from some time. For every snapshot that comes out, I am as much, if not moreso (sometimes) interested in the technical changes to commands, datapacks and more that allow people to create continuously more awesome things inside of Minecraft and I think Mojang has been doing a nice job in bringing the game forward in that aspect with really interesting changes and additions.

[@GoldKitsuneBrony]

I use a custom launcher with every major mod loader built in.

[@mmgmismas]

Lately I am getting one controversy video after another. The worst part? Most of them have under 100 views! Btw, I am so glad soemone is finally talking about the real issue.

[@GearMaster-ku1xf]

i reformed my wax cube to this video

[@kenny_the_real]

Thank you. Period. Just thank you.

[@Dreymasmith]

thank you thank you thank you thank you

[@greenylie]

Hey Cygnus, I hopped on the train a bit late, but lately I've been back on minecraft after 5/6 years of so, and started watching your videos as a consequence. I just wanted to point out the fact that, unfortunately, the drama part of a community is always the noisiest one. What I'm trying to say is, some people don't act like you described in the video, they just don't speak up as commonly as the "haters". For this reason I also wanted to let you know that, that quiet part of the community not only loves you, and the content you are portraying, but also would be much sad if you stopped making it!

[@leochangesnames]

Oh, btw, there's a few other youtubers that share your opinions about the community being too negative, check out Xisumavoid. There's stuff on his xisumasays channel, a video explaining why mods aren't integrated into vanilla on the main channel, and a couple others iirc. I think the only way for the narrative to start shifting is to start forming groups/quasi-groups of youtubers that sometimes discuss this with each other in videos. The main problem is probably it being mentally taxing, but on the other hand having a thinking, reasonable person to talk to usually improves your mental health.

[@notdrowned]

Banger video

[@Cygnus_MC]

Banger comment

[@mistrdavid]

I bought the game ten years ago. Im actually happy and suprised that it still have updates. I feel that people just nitpick.

[@lorenzzz8630]

That taxi really was going backwards huh or my eyes are playing tricks on me

[@Cygnus_MC]

:)

[@Mentally15broken]

2:26 i love how the car is going backwards to represent him going back to the statements of people one by one

[@Cygnus_MC]

Yeah! That was totally what i was going for! (Thats so good why didnt i think of that)

[@brentd2940]

You sound like an voice of reason, in an ocean of yelling. I have seen a lot of videos like you said and your perspective is honestly refreshing and reasonable. I didn't even know Minecraft had an mod loader or the server issues. This is a pretty good video, enough so I wanted to comment, its an shame you are tired by the community's toxicity.

[@Cygnus_MC]

It gets tiring to get the same comments over and over and over again, and all the bigger people then me are just feeding the flames more and more, im not saying im the only reasonable one, but i do feel isolated yknow

[@lordmeowsk]

I agree with you 100% everyone in the community need to grow the fuck up and just appreciate what we have.

[@MrPug-po7ks]

Great video, overall a good summary of what is souring the community rn. It's definitely unfair to criticize Mojang for being lazy for not "making enough content", as overworking the devs is not really something good for them or the game. Although I do think they can be more adventurous with the changes they decide to implement (a good example is the crab claw, it would've changed minecraft in a very significant manner) while scrapping some of the more boring changes to relocate dev time, I can't really blame Mojang's devs for not working enough, my dissatisfaction has mostly come from the approach they have taken. As for the modded side, I wholeheartedly agree with your points of the community. Having used most modloaders throughout my years in Minecraft, I can definitely say all of them have their uses. I just wish none of these modloaders or bukkit-derivative software tried to establish themselves as the status quo for every player. Paper can't market itself as being for every server, as it doesn't explicitly state that it has made any compromises to any unknowing player. Fabric on the other hand works well with small amounts of mods, however it can't really compare itself to Forge in heavily modded scenarios. Every loader has something it excells at as opposed to the others, and trying to market one as "the ultimate loader" is just misleading. Those were my ramblings, I hope they weren't too incoherent lol.

[@villager736]

Instead of saying mojang is "lazy" they should be developing more tools to make updating minecraft easier. They also need to work on increasing performance for minecraft by maybe trying to implement features from mods into minecraft, like immediately fast, memory leak fix, ferritecore, and entity culling. It does not need to be done all at once, just get added eventually. Infact, this approach has already been done with the starlight mod.

[@Tydeph]

Finally someone has mentioned it I thought I was the only one who remember just how much code was being changed in the game during 1.7 - 1.13. The only thing I wish that was also mentiend is that before 1.13 Minecraft was still using the old block ID system and from what I remember they where running out of block IDs. 1.13 remove block ID and comply used the new String name system the game uses today. I still remember an early tweet from some dev saying that they cant add colored beds during the time of that tweet cuz it would add too many block IDs. Modloaders like forge got around the block id issue with some fancy trick in code that I don't understand. And does anyone remember just how smooth the game ran during 1.10-1.12? instead of focusing on features they can focus more on performance.

[@jordon_]

it doesnt help that the community focusses only on a bunch of new features and don't care about changing the code of existing features nearly as much, and its way easier to advertise the mace rather than 10% more fps

[@FaerieEnderHare]

I'll be honest, I admire the mojang of the present, while they have their flaws, the fact that they allow, and encourage creative modding and changing to their game in general is a decision that can keep minecraft alive even when the game is in between long update times. And for the record, I use any modloader I can get my hands on which play the mods I want to use.

[@chackr4358]

This is the most red-pilled and based piece of educational content I've seen in a while man. Minecraft is not what you choose to see as, it's just Minecraft, a fricking block game. I don't really care about hatred or whatever the hell others say, I just want more absolutely magnificent jokes about watching shorts on a toilet. So please don't quit as this is one of the only channels to fulfill our basedness needs

[@Lalovoe]

This is SO TRUE!!! Why can't I just share my enjoyment of the game without being judged, lectured on about loaders, configs, or other useless crap without getting ridiculed. It is sad to see this much in-fighting

[@PhonyLyzard]

I know it's dumb, but It was a jumpscare seeing my comment in the video.

[@link1581]

Like I heard in a video about something similar to "Minecraft sucks" or something. Is, "Just play the game". Which I think is so true, to stop the hatred, and just play the game you love. CygnusMC stay save man.

[@Jimbob_Offical]

Finny Someone standing up for mojang

[@fedecastano6738]

Updates used to be a lot bigger, since 1.16 updates have been lacking content, even for the big ones like the Clif and caves that was divided into a few updates. I just hope that all the optimizations and updates in the game's code allow for more content heavy updates in the future.

[@krooton729]

I fail to see how previous updates used to be bigger overall. 1.10 through 1.12 were notoriously lackluster updates despite having a few neat or massive features. I also don't feel like updates have really been lacking content the way the playerbase makes it seem. A lot of what you get out of the game is what you put into it. It's designed to have no objective because your creativity is what creates the objective. Updates will not fix that because it's an inherent design choice, not a problem that needs solving.

[@kameleon_chr]

You're so honest ab it. And it's the truth.

[@dragonsprojects]

I spent a long time working on a Fabric modpack because i thought it had better performance than Forge, but now I'm feeling like i wasted a lot of time because there are some Forge mods i really wish i could use. Was i really just duped? Is there no difference?

[@Cygnus_MC]

I made a video diving into the issue!

[@crossscar-dev]

the way their driving backwards

[@RossLemon]

It's helpful to remember that the 1 percent of reddit nerds online, that complain about the mob vote or whine that the updates are "boring," are only a small minority of the overall Minecraft player base. Most players will see the new armadillo and go "Wow new mob? Neat!" or "My wolf can have armor now? Wow!" Instead of going into a 3 hour geek rant about the literary complexities of Minecraft and how it "lost" its original illustrious charm.

[@umeramin6135]

I have only one single friend and that because of playing Minecraft I love this game so much I want this game to be forever alive❤❤❤

[@umeramin6135]

And thanks for showing us the next true story❤❤

[@UltimaCoreAnimations]

Hate is something that happens to big games like this and I do have my own personal problems with the game. I do believe that most of the newer content is a bit more fun than past updates, not saying they are bad, but all new content adds more value to the the game but most don't want to accept newer content, because some people are not to adaptable to change. My point of this comment is not to gain anything none other than hopes that this community starts to accept that this game is bound to change, evolve, all overall be a better game, everyone in my views needs to accept the roots of the game and if notch was still the owner of the ip, minecraft would be a hell load different.

[@UltimaCoreAnimations]

I know that I have been guilty of some of the points I have made here, but in terms of spreading this comment I know that we all make mistakes and it is that we learn from them that makes a difference.

[@lavenderstyle4579]

I use arclight (fabric and spigot plugins) BTW

[@virtcreates]

I just wanna go on record that I have made every important farm on a paper vanilla server. From an extremely complex mangrove farm with a very finicky ilmango vertical piston block mover, fallenbreath tree farms, multi-sorters that rely on subtick mechanics, to cubic's own blast chamber and first (second? Not the mega tall-one but not the most optimized one either) iteration copper oxidizer. Granted, we were as optimized as we could be with other forks of paper, but that's definitely besides the point - do your research on what's right for you! The idea that you can't use paper and what has been built off of it is silly. No, it's not for someone trying to break vanilla minecraft, just everyone else :)

[@Cygnus_MC]

Is that you vert?

[@mushroomjuise2349]

never got involved in any controversy since i stopped paying attention to the updates and went back to beta 1.7

[@ChrisWillem-vl9nv]

Hmm...yes. You earned my 🙏 respect.

[@Kd_Gaming117]

I agree with everything here. As a community, we need to stop and think before we speak and provide constructive feedback when we say somthing.

[@martingogaming1777]

I Don't know what to say, but I defenetly agree.

[@jack-smith]

Minecraft is my number one most loved game as well so much in fact It's the only game I have spent extra money in keep backups for and made my own skins on Minecraft Skin editor and every single update except for Phantoms put into the game has made the game so much more exciting with all the infinite biom generating creative adventure that no other Open world game I've played has ever matched
