New games are small arcade ones or half of them don't make it past prototype, though they keep ones old enough but can't come up with something like mega walls anymore. Also a lot of the older modes are hard to get into as a new player because how much skill and progression matters, since it's pretty much the older players playing them.

The hatred for 1.9 combat has been dying, especially because of MCC the last few years making people realize it isn’t as awful as all of the KZbinrs made it out to be. The niche group of people who only play on 1.8 servers is quickly dying. New servers that stick with 1.8 are only going to confuse new players who don’t understand why the entire way fighting works is different, which will deter people from playing. Servers should and need to embrace 1.9 combat.

[@darth3911]

@@technoboop1890 Especially sense there are in game commands that nullify the main complaint about the 1.9. Combat update. That being the slower combat speed; this can be fixed by either using custom weapons with there own unique attack speeds.

The only huge issue with tubnet is that it will have a horrible anticheat. If it stays as a cross play then the issue is that bedrock players have higher reach, bigger hitboxes and strange movement that can make standing on an ender chest flag fly somehow. The anti-cheat will we worse than hypixels and players may rage as the hacker count grows. Even if there is somehow separate anticheats for java and bedrock java clients can override that by sending packets (info example: breaking a block) and send a packet saying they are on bedrock completely giving access to bad bypasses.

one thing to note when comparing bedrock and java player counts, especially when it comes to servers, is the fact that console players can NOT connect to any non-featured servers. TubNet will never be played by console players since java bedrock crossplay is not allowed for bedrock features servers .

Yo man, I appreciate your take but pretty much everything you said about MCCi is wrong. 1) It is not made to play the exact MCC games - they specifically make modifiers and take care to NOT copy the original games. They have talked about developing original games in the future as well. 2) It is also not "not their main focus"; in fact, the 'real' MCC event is not their main focus. Noxcrew gets paid by Minecraft to develop bedrock maps and gets paid for MCCi in the form of ranks. MCC is a completely for-fun event. Noxcrew gets paid $0 for MCC, so of course it is not their main focus. MCCi is clearly their main focus: they pretty much doubled their team for MCC island by hiring a lot of new devs to work on the server. 3) It is not made for creators. That's what MCC is for. I don't know where you got the idea that it is for creators. They don't even have a creator rank - only an MCC participant rank, which excludes a lot of huge creators.

[@mcbyt]

1. Yes, they are modified, but based on the original games. 2. I meant their main focus in terms of the MCC brand; I'm aware that overall, their bedrock partnership is probably much more profitable. 3. MCC is made for creators, MCCI is made for their fans.
