What Could Destroy Minecraft?

Minecraft has some serious staying power in the gaming world, but there must be some situation where the most popular game of a generation finally loses it's footing and falls to pieces? For fun, let's talk about some 'Doomsday' scenarios that could end Minecraft for good!

11. The same way older games, like the earlier battlefields, have unofficial servers that will keep them alive for as long as some interest exists, Minecraft will always have unofficial support as long as there are people that want to play. With endless mods, plugins, and gamemodes to play with, it'll take years to explore most of what the game offers. Even when most of the player base has moved on to other things, there will always be a small, dedicated community in the game. Minecraft will meet its end slowly and gently, when the playerbase has dwindled to an unsustainable amount. Whenever that is.

If Mojang/Microsoft requires player authentication and then mess up or just stop running the auth servers, MC is dead pretty instantly.

[@horlzonline1131]

@@travcollier People would probably make their own authentication servers at that point. I've seen people bring back games that were absolutely dead in the water with full legacy servers and player authentication. People would lose the stuff on their old accounts yes, but they wouldn't stop playing. They would just make a new account on the legacy server. I don't doubt someone would figure it out. If all else failed, deadass, I bet you that someone would rebuild it from the ground up, no joke. Minecraft fans can be REALLY dedicated.

The thing with Minecraft is that it's one of *very* few games that's proven to be truly multi-generational. That's it's strongest asset. It defies trends.

The only thing that could destroy Minecraft is the expansion of the sun into a red giant which, while it doesn't necessarily mean the end of humanity, as we will likely have space travel by then, would evaporate all water on earth and render it inhospitable. If humanity has already colonized other planets by then, it is likely Minecraft will survive even that, and will continue to survive until the inevitable heat death of the universe/freezing over of the universe/total collapse of the universe/imploding of the universe leading to a second big bang that would start the cycle over again and have Minecraft be created again in a different world

[@anipodat394]

@Blade Gaming If you feel like Minecraft seems to "lag behind" mods in adding features, I think that's because Minecraft takes a very, very cautious approach to it. Minecraft has an enormous and diverse community to satisfy. People have different preferences and hardware limitations. A mod, by virtue of being a third-party, specific mod that people seek out, it's much easier to give users what they want. Mods have no obligation to be compatible or balanced with other mods. Whereas Minecraft updates must be thoroughly debugged, new features must be compatible with old features without making them obsolete and should consider the longevity of the game. It gives a very curated, minimalistic and grounded attitude to features as a whole. Contrast a game like Terraria, a 2D RPG sandbox with more of a "mixing pot," wild attitude towards adding features. Yoyos, a tower-defense-style event (both including collaborations with lesser-known companies), outlandish events with unusually specific inspirations and innumerable references to other media in general.

[@danishqureshi8583]

@Blade Gaming I don't think any cave mod successfully pulled off local water levels, though. Plus, the 1.17 cave biomes are already miles better than any cave biome mod I've seen. The addition of copper also fixes the really big issue of having way too many mods add their own version of copper. Mods have done what 1.17 is doing, but only in small amounts, and now it's going to be available for every player.

[@hdskipper9878]

Hytale is a very nice take on Minecraft but it won’t kill the game. The reason it was made is because mojang decided that they wanted to give servers less money (big mistake) they are def gonna lose a lotta money to hytale though.

[@violxiv]

As a person who has closely been following Hytale for almost two years now, Hytale is going to have complete freedom with modding, exceptions being shaders/anything that changes the client itself (to prevent anti-cheat, but the engine is custom, not based on Java and will be stable & able to be dramatically updated and improved over time) Hytale's modding tools include a very impressive model maker and animation tool - with embedded features such as attachments to allow for near infinite customisation to a model. (think of guns and gun attachments) Hytale has systems in place for things like behaviour, wayy advanced pathfinding, and the such. Hytale, with its own custom engine can do some incredible things for modders. If you think Minecraft modding is 'absolute freedom' think again; Minecraft is limited by its outdated java core. Modders have many hurdles to climb to get even then, a somewhat satisfactory product. The only thing imo that will detract modders from Hytale is the art-style. I've been creating art in its particular style for a long time, I can say I'll be comfortable making mods. But the art-style requires a lot of artistic talent to closely replicate and make good looking items/creatures/players for.
