!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Honestly used to love Minecraft, still have a soft spot and will likely return to it at some point. All that said, MSoft has made me give up on Mojang and Minecraft. Mojang also just ignores pretty serious feedback about gameplay and don't seem open to discussion with the community which always creates friction between mojang and the community.
Luanti (luanti.org) (née Minetest) exists!
The world size is much smaller, but as a play system and exploration thingy it is still quite fun. Also has several games (adventures), mods and gamemodes.
But Minecraft's ecosystem makes it super easy to run any version you like best. Play the Minecraft you loved and ignore the latest versions if you don't like them. It's basically just a game engine anyway, the actual game is all the mods you install.
Definitely a good point, Minecraft would have faded without the modding scene, especially performance mods which seem to be the backbone of any Java based playthrough. That's also part of my problem, I don't want to have to download mods to turn off the telemetry, chat reports, a button for their servers that are awful. I'd rather invest my time in an open source solution like minetest or other non MSoft options if I'm relying on mods to remove junk.
If you enjoyed the survival aspects of Minecraft, maybe you'd enjoy Vintage Story? It overtook Minecraft for me in terms of block games I enjoy, since it feels a whole lot more rewarding getting better tools, weapons or armour in game.
I’ve never been a big Minecraft fan, but has Hytale reawakened any of that passion in people?
