In fact, I'm most likely downgrading my game to a previous version. There are many others who would agree with me, and I myself am certainly stopping all updates on my game, unless there's an update that actually means something. It's not going to make the previous ones better nor will it improve the future ones.

Don't stop the rest of us from allowing new updates because you don't like it. I once again apply the 'just don't update then' policy. I do understand that this section is a bit unrelated compared to the rest of the thread, but I just wanted to add a little bonus to the discussion.

Survivalcraft is by far the best of them all, as it features realistic survival mechanics while still retaining the feel of the original game it came from. Plus, there are other, better games like Minecraft out there. I actually do personally believe that this will be THE definitive alternative to the vanilla game we've now grown to despise. Oh, and a few more things: In my signature is my proposal for my personal vision for Minecraft if it were developed by a professional AAA studio. It's about time we all moved on from this mess. Not that I'd prefer those over the many AAA studios out there (in fact, quite the opposite personally myself), but they themselves prove that you can do much better than Mojang has ever done over the course of their lifetimes. I mean, there are individuals out there, such as FlowerChild, who have created better experiences through Better Than Wolves and TerraFirmaCraft, than Mojang as a company have ever been able to do. Performance issues, the many bugs and glitches, the lack of an official mod API (I bet many others have forgotten about this), the willingness to DMCA a platform for adding plugins to your very own server (Bukkit, I'm looking at you), not giving a dang about servers who clearly give people unfair advantages through 'donations' and in-game currency despite their EULA saying otherwise, the fact that Mojang themselves is willing to rely on huge servers, the very thing that they've spoken against, just to keep their game alive after the infamous Beta 1.8 Adventure Update, are just some of the many things wrong with this game as of this thread's writing, and just some of the many reasons why the game should stop all development after this year's update. Future updates have only made these and others like it worse, and that's putting it very lightly. There's no pointers or anything that will guide you along without having to resort to outside help. And how do you build a raster screen? That requires a guide too, since the way redstone works gives you no clue on how to put it all together. First, how would anyone know what 'quasi-connectivity' is just by looking? You'd need a guide just to know it. I know it's meant to be learned, but not only do some people prefer to have everything learned after only a few hours of play, or, in other words, from the beginning, but even that system has major problems. And this results in, if we had no friends to play with, us spending potentially hundreds of hours working on some lame sort of 'city' that looks more like a mishmash of buildings than anything like a real city. But nope, Mojang insists we build with friends to get the result we've always wanted. Just getting a basic house is a grind, even in Creative mode, and we're talking about the fact that we could've had a feature where you could build a pre-built setup from a blueprint and take it from there. First of all, like I've said, it's never been interesting or fair, at least not to me. Now, there's a lot of reasons why I feel it's the best for the game itself.

Given how the 1.20 Trails & Tails Update just dropped today, and on the same day as the Wild Update just last year, in fact, I feel like it is best that we terminate all development on our rave blocky game of Minecraft and move on to the next big thing. This is also proof of (unrelated to the game's updates) the fact that indie games just don't last compared to AAA games, but I'm getting ahead of myself here. Given how little value the recent features of Minecraft had added to the game, and the many good opportunities missed out on, such as glowstone circuitry and an old thread on the new Nether, I personally feel that it's time to terminate all development on the game itself. Please remember that this is just a suggestion. But both times, it was deleted without my knowledge of it happening, so naturally, I've decided to post here instead. Also, I've tried posting this on the feedback site on the official Minecraft website, twice. NOTE: The original thread for this opinion is right here.
