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.

[@talk4562]

Finally, thank you! its so cool to find a KZbinr who isn't all "Oh no Mojang is so lazy they're killing the game and the mob vote is evil" for clickbait. 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.

[@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. No fancy editing, no doomposting, none of that bullshit. It’s all genuine. Honestly, Minecraft itself isn’t dead, but the community is on the brink of dying and you’re one of those few diamonds in a community that’s now full of dirt.

[@Hound4004]

Amazing, I appreciate you sharing the truth on this! your like the only person ive seen actually be kind about this!

[@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)

[@Guylock]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@privatechannel1272]

Your channel *seriously* needs more attention!

[@Cygnus_MC]

Thank you!?

[@Nord_Act]

>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

[@user-tq2wi6dh4p]

[@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.

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.

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 feel like every community gets ruined by some annoying sh*ts online nowadays... can't have fun after 2015, awe man

[@randomsnow6510]

i think your right however i think a abstract rant about "the community" is fundamentally analysis that does not properly adress or exsplain the causes for all these things i think it would be better for a more indepth systemic analysis for why this is so in the first place.

[@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

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@lordmeowsk]

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

[@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.

Great video

[@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.

[@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

[@hugedeer22]

LET HIM COOK NOW

[@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 :)

Fabric does have the Tools for Mini Game Servers... there is a Server called Nucleoid MC as far as I am aware that is completely Open Source and Collaborative with the Community.

[@jakkaljakobie8774]

I remember watching the world of Warcraft community devolve over the last 15 years as more and more frustrations, disagreements, and even gameplay features fractured the community. For years, the pokemon community has been united in general positivity, that ended with gen 8 and dexit. I don't know what's happening, or why, but it hurts. Do what you gotta do to keep yourself sane man. I wouldn't mind hearing your takes on the Bethesda mod community, if you're looking for greener pastures.

[@Cygnus_MC]

That would be nice tbh, talking about other mods. Keep urself sane too man

[@PhonyLyzard]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@StickManBlue721]

If you keep making updates so fast there will be nothing to be excited for and wait for and also they will run out of good ideas quickly

[@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!

[@dontmindme8709]

I am fortunate enough to have been shielded from the worst parts of the internet. On the contrary, I have so much love for everyone who works to make Minecraft better. That goes for both the community and for Mojang. I've played long enough to see the game transform completely and somehow it's still as fun as when I was a kid. Back then I would have never imagined that I would still be playing over a decade later.

[@no_the_other_ariksquad]

Minecraft server software just needs to be revamped. The 2013 Bukkit code still there. Something like Velocity needs to happen to backend.

[@aterzos9107]

A lot of people need to realize that these updates are free. and even if they are bad and even if mojang doesn't give what they promise at the end of the day its a fun game that is really meant for the developer, modder and casual player. the point is that you can make and play whatever you want. That's the real beauty of the game. a lot of people get echo chambered and bombarded by opinions its easy to forget about the silent majority of players just having fun building a house and surviving their first few nights before moving on to a different world. The community is actually overwhelmingly wholesome and positive. most people who just watch the latest minecaft drama video and comment on youtube videos dont actually play the game.

[@riptide3340]

Fr, people are complaining about a game they bought when they were 8 not getting bigger updates while other companies make you pay a sub just to log on to their buggy mess of a “video game.” Not to say Mojang is perfect, but I think the 40$ I paid 15 years ago has more than earned itself by now lol.
