hi everyone i wanted to ask what you guys think of the new minecraft updates like 1.6 and 1.7 and so on but does minecraft need these new features because i dont think it does i really love minecraft when it was in the beta stage and alpha it was just so fun. before it turned into some crappy rpg game i know some of you will remember the time when everything was simple and fun i aslo know that all the kids and people that stared with 1.0.0 will get buthurt over this but what do you guys think
i just want to say that am not hating on the new minecraft and that what am trying to say does minecraft still have that magic to you because i was a noob back in early beta/alpha that time was the most fun for me but thanks to every one who adds there opinion
i think we should all use common sense and logic when we answer and ask a question but always stay open minded
just cause science fails to explain something does not mean its real (afterlife,big foot, ghosts etc..) does not mean its fake try to stay opened mined instead of closed
I don't get why people get so mad about updates. Not trying to be mean, but how is it an RPG game? I've been playing for over two years, and it has never felt like an rpg. But everybody is entitled to their own opinions.

I like the new Minecraft. I have a few tiffs with each little update, but I get used to the item, and eventually, I start to like it. I really don't see how it's turned into an RPG, having played many RPGs to compare to this. Then again, I'm no butt hurting Nostalgia Critic. No offense meant to anyone, by any means.

Minecraft is no more an RPG than Terraria is a building game. They each have elements of the other, but each remain mostly dedicated to their primary genre.
Another way of looking at it is this: The experience, potions, bosses, etc... they aren't compulsory. You don't have to use them if you don't want to; you don't even need mobs on. Just flip your game to peaceful and build if the new stuff bothers you.

Ugh. RPG doesn't have to mean potions, spells, exp, levels, etc. RPG means Role-Playing Game. Even Call of Duty is an RPG according to the actual definition.
I, for one, enjoy seeing the new updates, and what they bring forth! Each little update seems to bring just a few more new things you can do in the game. Sure, there are plenty of silly things that have been added (witches are one big one), but overall, I'd say the updates are usually well done! Plus, the great thing about Minecraft is that it's a sandbox game, so if you don't want to use some of these features, then you don't have to! The game doesn't punish you for it, either!
I play it like I always have. As a builder game. Exp, potions and enchants are great because then I can make better tools to get stuff faster and build more.
...what am trying to say does minecraft still have that magic to you because i was a noob back in early beta/alpha that time was the most fun for me...
Each and every one of us is nostalgic for the time when Minecraft (or any other game, or computer games in general) were new and exciting. To me, Minecraft 1.6 is as special as beta is for you. To someone else who started with a different version, that is the one that was special. People who start in 1.9.8 will see that as the special, exciting version, and later versions will be dull ... for them.
It's not the game; it's the player.
Whatever was your first version of Minecraft will always be the special one, because you were exploring a whole new, unique, exciting world. Nothing afterward would ever be able to match it because you knew the world already. Besides, you were used to it, and here someone went and changed things. And that's true whether that first version was Pre-Classic or 1.6 or anything else.They say you can never go home again. I'll believe it, especially in a game sense: you can never recapture the excitement of seeing a new game world for the first time, of learning how a new game works, etc.
I remember the first science fiction novel I ever read. It's obscure, to say the least. Impossible to find -- I think it only sold a handful of copies, and all of them to libraries. Last week, I got to re-read it for the first time since I was about 8 years old, which I'll just say was way before anyone who's 8 years old today was born. Y'know something? It really wasn't very good. It wasn't bad, in the way that, say, Circles is bad (few things are that bad) but it was a mediocre book at best. But while I've forgotten many things about the thousands of other books I've read in the past *mumble* years, I remember that book. I remember it as being spectacular, as a revelation of a whole new genre of literature ... just an amazing book. If I'd read some other SF novel first, I probably wouldn't even remember that one. But I remember it. I remember daydreaming about living in that world. Hey, I was 8! I remember it as a really, really, really outstanding book. And it wasn't. It was ordinary. Mediocre. Forgettable. Except ... it was my first. You never forget your first.
It's the same way with games. The first version you played is always special, not because of what is in the game, but because of the sheer novelty of the experience. That experience isn't specific to that version; for each version, there are people having the exact same experience you did back in Alpha, and someone else did in Indev, etc.
By the way, there are few things in the newest versions that are mandatory, aside from things like the world generation itself. Don't like horses? Pretend they're just background art, kind of like cows without the steaks. Don't like redstone? Don't use it for anything. Etc. With a very few exceptions, they haven't taken anything out of Minecraft, and if you want the same experience you remember, just don't use the things they've put in.
"But it's not the same," you say. And no, it isn't. Not because of the game; because of you. You're not a newbie anymore, and you can never recapture the excitement and novelty of playing the game for the first time.
Ugh. RPG doesn't have to mean potions, spells, exp, levels, etc. RPG means Role-Playing Game. Even Call of Duty is an RPG according to the actual definition.
I'm glad someone with intelligence said this before I.
Go back to the first version of minecraft you have played. Go back to around alpha. See how long you last until you fall asleep at the keyboard. Your first time will always be the best time. I remember alpha, I remember how awesome it was, but now if I go back and play it, it's just...lacking. Believe me, if you play an old version you will see what I mean.
First of all: Minecraft is not a role playing game. It's sandbox. But if you look at it that way than okay, I understand.
Second of all: I love the new updates, and not just because I joined the Minecraft fandom around 1.4.5. I tried Alpha and I loved it too, of course, but I adore 1.6 and 1.7 and it annoys me how much people complain about the updates because Minecraft worked hard on them, the whole team did. And theres a launcher that allows you to change the version. Use it and quit complaining like spoiled brats for once. -.-
Admittedly I only play on Normal, not Hard, so hunger isn't really that much of an issue for me. Every so often I look and think "oh, I need to eat something", I scarf a steak (I keep a pen of cows for steak production), and it's all good.
As for the things you don't like from the updates:
Potions? Don't make any potions.
Enchantment? Don't enchant anything.
Beds? Don't build one.
Nobody is saying that you have to make potions, or sleep in a bed, or anything else.
Though I'm a little unclear on how beds make you lazy. Without a bed, I spend the night AFK, waiting for the sun to come up so I can go back to playing. With a bed, I fast-forward through that part, and I can keep doing things. Well, nowadays I spend a lot of nights on my castle walls, sniping mobs with a bow and arrow, particularly killing spiders for their string. But I have the option to fast-forward through the night if I intend to be inactive, instead of staring at the inside of my door, which I think is a good thing.
