What happened to Minecraft is exactly what happened to Slender: It got overpopularized.

Basically, Minecraft's charm, the survival and learning element to it, was lost; much in the same sense that Slenderman stopped being scary when every person was talking about him and the main focus of his character was ambiguity, something that was swiftly shoved under the rug when a bunch of little kids with no understanding of the subtlety of horror came along and decided he'd be better as a soul eating monster.

Minecraft, by popular demand, became more about creation, less about survival.
Every server began focusing on one of two things: PVP or creation, both of which only made the situation worse.
Servers where survival was centric used to be tons of fun. In many ways, it was like Don't Starve Together: You start off in an unknown world, work together to explore it and make your own bases or houses, find materials, etc etc.
Basically what happened was that everyone, particularly the children I spoke of who wanted instant gratification, gave you everything off the bat. There was nothing to achieve. There was no viable or original goals to set out for.

Everything in the game began feeling like a repetitive cycle of "I or someone else has already done this".
There was also the problem of too many things, such as alchemy, being added to the game (This was an issue because the initial focus that made it so popular was its simplicity), but that was a minor issue in comparison to what its own popularity did to it.

Nowadays, and I hate saying this, Minecraft is really a game that appeals to the younger audience BECAUSE it's so centric on instant gratification, where as its original, older audience liked to work towards goals and feel like they achieved som

If these are the problems you have with Minecraft, and not the repetitive gameplay, unstable game, etcetera...

Then stay away from public servers. Boom, problem solved. Get some fellow Minetards together, set up a server of your own, pretend you aren't just doing the same sh*t that you've been doing in Minecraft since you started playing it.

Don't see how someone else plays effects how you play. If you want to earn stuff and survive play in survival, if you want to just let your imagination go wild play on creative.

Dude minecraft may have some survival aspects to it, but the game isn't focused on survival. Minecraft is about being able to build and do what you, not just survive. I will agree that it lost some of its charm, but personally I enjoy the new updates. If you have a problem with the game being mainstream then just don't play it.

i agree mostly with OP.

singleplayer will get boring in around 2 hours max. the only exceptions are if you haven't played in months and/or you have never played before. at first it seems fun trying to acheive your goals (find diamonds, make castle, complete the game) but then you just suddenly lose motivation to do anything.

mods can be fun, but it only delays the sudden loss of motivation in singleplayer.

multiplayer can be fun but you gotta search for the right server.

I hate how back then, we had to build our own houses but these kiddies make them out of manuals.

My brother, sister, and I came up with the craziest stuff. We built an a castle, a flying house, and even a huge underground base inside a ravine.

Then they started selling those "How to Play Minecraft!" manuals and now you see the same, generic house over and over. The same thing happened to Clash of Clans when people followed instructions on how to make the "best" base like blind sheep.

Manuals are just money grabbers. What they should have done is make a book about the creation and development of minecraft.

you should have seen what my brothers and i did in terraria

different floating islands, but only one has a rope to get up. you had to gain enough speed on a minecart to fly off the ramp on the rails we put down and land on some other rails leading to different islands.

it was awesome.

minecraft is boring just for that reason, creative. What's the fun of creative? Besides building things easier.. There's no set goal. Maybe it's just me complaining too much, but eh.

I use creative to build cities that would take forever in Survival.

Very fun, especially with friends.
