Playing Minecraft Like You're A Kid Again

[@soodle_noup_3890]

Imo I think Mojang needs to take a step back and be more like terraria with its next couple of updates In the sense that they should remake/add structures to explore and have boss fights and things of that nature to spice things up for more casual players.

[@flowstatevideo]

If they kept the additions simple I think it could work, Terraria is def more fantasy and action packed. It's a different vibe.

[@joseaugustoleonardemoreira9798]

I dont really in favor of boss fights. But i am a buider so i cant say much.

[@viper_exe_]

honestly, i wish mojang would overhaul mobs and ai +add new nightime mobs. Hostile mobs right now are more like pests that just get in the way rather than an actual challenge. They don't synergise with each other or have interesting dynamics when grouped up that makes a fight more interesting. Like if endermen could teleport mobs to you at night, or if there were more mobs like the evoker and illusioners that spawn on the surface. Mob ai in general is just awful, almost every mob in the game feels like a statue or slab of meat that just sits around, and I hate it.

[@StarShade0]

Minecraft isn’t Terraria :/ You have mods for that reason.

[@XpMega]

I wish Vanilla Minecraft had these types of land generation. I always have a hard time finding a good spot to build anything where there is too much hills or too much mountians or even too many trees. But the land in this video is the flat type of land I'm looking for. Its perfect.

[@Canovar]

there is a generation type called something like, larger biomes, you can choose it when creating a new world and it's actually similar to this generation

Vanilla generation has its place. But there’s mods to switch it up however you’d like. I like all the options there are. It’s nice.

Bro, your videos have some sort of majestic tone to them. I love it

[@crazedhark5200]

I've always wondered why old minecraft has that feeling that is so hard to explain atleast for me for the past years, only until recently I was able to pinpoint what it is, but first of all, minecraft for me now represents time. A time wherein everything was still so simple, a time wherein the only problems I had was to figure out what to eat by dinner, always drink water and be mindful enough so I wont be holding my pee for a long time cuz I was so absorb in the game. Those things represents the time and a state of mind I had when I was younger, in fact for all of us, we were all once was kids. exploring this vast, vast blocky world. I find it mesmerizing that the closest thing I could now compare DH was the fog on older versions, theyre the complete opposite but it took me a while to figure out why but now I knew it. It was the mystery the fog creates. The fog creates this illusion of these unending world just waiting to be discovered. Now this, Distant Horizons gives the complete opposite of it, maybe a more grown up approach to it, it gives and provides the realization of just how vast the world is. You see, for me its like a representation of a kid growing up. when you were a kid, you had all this time to exists in a world you created yourself, thats why the fog works. But as you grew up, you have more things you carry, your responsibility increases, and you no longer have that much time to sink in to it without it fading out and realizing you have other shit to do. Time is now a luxury for us. But at the end of the day, it was still the mystery that gives us meaning. to live. I guess thats also where the saying "Ignorance is bliss" came from, sometimes its so uplifting or at the very least its weightless and effortless existing without knowing anything, without a care in the world, like a kid just walking on a foggy blocky world. where just existing is more than enough of a reason to live.

My favorite activity in all of Minecraft is to explore and create landmarks in anywhere catches my attention, either be small cabins, igglos, sky islands, towers, bunkers. camps, etc. It makes the journey even more meaningful, knowing that at the end you the world will remember you.

[@tastycakes1339]

idk why but the items actually moving to where you click in your inventory is so nostalgic for some reason

[@cast1e_survival]

Hey Flow, I just found your channel not long ago and I think this brings a breath of fresh air to Minecraft. When you said that you were concerned about someone else being in the world and about horror games being comedic with jumpscares, it made me think that there's a few mods that could add the horror aspects that people felt as kids back to minecraft (without ruining its awe). I'd recommend two simple mods which are Hardcore darkness (optional) and From The Fog (not the modpack, just the original mod). You can set the Herobrine spawn rates to incredibly low settings so that he has minimal impact on your gameplay experience (if he can be added to this version). I think it'd be interesting to have those very rare moments where you start to figure out you're not alone in this world... Regardless if you do it or not, I'll still enjoy this series and wish you the best with the future :)

[@pokepoke1889]

When I was a wee lad, my first time experiencing Minecraft was on my PS3 watching my older brother and sister play. I remember 2 distinct things from back then. - - - - - - - - - I would always go and play on the tutorial mode as I didn’t know how to play survival or creative yet. Usually I’d get stuck on the tutorials and not know what to do, but then I discovered creative mode and just flew around exploring the tutorial maps. The maps were so good, I remember my older siblings saying that they built the mountain village map, funnily enough I believed it back then LOL. - - - - - - - - - My next memory takes place a few years later. Me and my little sister had a amazing creative world we played in because we were absolutely terrified of playing survival. This creative world had everything you’d expect, random buildings made of ore blocks, diamond and gold blocks, etc. a random McDonald’s built in it, a super market with a little note block thing in front of it, and lots of railways and roller coasters! I pretty much built everything while my sister built a few things.

[@13_cmi]

Hello fello ps3 player. I played on ps3 with my mom. She wasn’t excited when I said that playing on our Minecraft worlds was some of my fondest memories. I have had NO memorable moments since then. Either that or my memory is fried.

I used to watch a lot of Minecraft when I was little, people like StampyLongLegs and BallisticSquid and even some PrestonPlayz. I stopped watching them a good 7 years ago and didn’t really pay any attention to Minecraft except for when Dream vs. Runners was a big thing. I absolutely love the way you commentate while you play and how you interact with your community, really makes me love the game again and find the childhood joy i once had. Keep up the amazing worth dude, much love from Texas 🤠

[@jacksonsainsbury8523]

I never played minecraft as a child, I started playing at 23 & I'm 26 this June. I started just after caves & cliffs, as an adult I missed out on the magic as a kid but as a adult this is what I know & even now I'm in awe. I have 1062 hours clocked & loved every moment other than void deaths💀

[@Empyreiator]

About the game mechanic of the ocean monument jump scare, I’d like to say that they actually didn’t intend for it to be a “jump scare” per say and that it was only meant to be a visual indication of when you got mining fatigue, but they accidentally made it a jump scare for a lot of people but decided to leave it in because it was funny. Also the reason why most jump scares feel so cheap is because there is usually little to no buildup for them in most horror games, but when there is good buildup then a jump scare can be really good.

I feel like Mojang needs to focus less on adding random features that nobody will ever see and put some effort instead into improving performance and just making the game better in ways that everybody will experience. This video made me want to play Minecraft, but I know the things I see will never rival this in terms of beauty. It's kinda sad how Minecraft has lost so much of the wonder it used to have, and I wish I could play the game the way you do.

[@Canovar]

now this combination needs; a better structure generation which is rarer but bigger, better transportation, bigger portable storage. also atlas mod would be nice on this atmosphere. there is a new mode that you can build actually working ships, that would be nice as well, you could even make it your base.

[@flowstatevideo]

You can add all of those mods if you'd like; Better Adventures+ is strictly vanilla+ mods.

[@Canovar]

@@flowstatevideo i mean they are vanilla+, no? for example instead of scattered small villages you are gonna have a nice big village. or some horse mods that make using horse actually viable. i mean yeah bigger storage could be little too much. antique atlas mod is a very vanilla+, although im not sure how it's gonna work with this terrain generation. lastly ship mod could make sea journeys a little bit better instead of using a dull vanilla boat. i am looking forward to part 2 tho

Screw shaders. 1000 fps 2013 minecraft here I come.

Also if you haven’t encountered what I call “the search effect” don’t get into the loop because when you really want to set up a camp or something you keep getting distracted by structures and don’t even get a moment to rest where it’s actually desolate but that’s just me tho
