Minecraft has a community surrounding older versions of the game thousands of people just playing these decade old versions for fun but why why would people want to play a version of the game that is so old you think with all the features Mojang is adding people Would want to play the modern game more but the Golden Age Minecraft Community as they call themselves is growing bigger by the day but let’s go back in time and see what features Mojang actually added that made the game Less Fun for some players and let’s start With beta 1.8 the adventure update the adventure update outed the long of new features such as sprinting new combat mechanics Villages and more but one feature that stood amongst all the other features was the addition of the hunger bar at the time this feature was very controversial in previous versions if You wanted to heal yourself you could right click on Fe to regenerate your health instantly you weren’t required to eat just for moving but that changed when the hunger bar was added the hunger bar is probably one of the worst things to ever happen to Minecraft it is a Nerf On everything and quite frankly it’s terrible I’ll show show you how our first reason is the fact that it’s a constant annoyance I don’t mean to say that you have to eat in the game every 2 seconds but just having it there forever taking down sucks while you’re in the Middle of doing more enjoyable things like hunting mining stuff that the game actually is meant for you can’t help but get distracted by that little stupid ticking time bomb in the corner of the screen secondly the hunger bar just makes the game way too easy the H bar constantly regenerates instead of only Regenerating when you feed yourself off also gives the ability to Sprint which is extremely overpowered in combat a creeper can be defeated very easily by simply Sprint attacking them which will knock them far back and diffuse them skeleton fighting also went from a tactical maneuver to a quick and much Less entertaining Affair in general a lot of people don’t like this mechanic because it feels more like an annoyance to them than an actual challenge the thing that the for post mention is how the hunger bar future and sprinting just serve to make the game a lot easier and That’s a reoccurring theme that you’ll see that the Golden Age Minecraft Community really doesn’t like the next update after the adventure update was the adventure update uh part two that added the end Dimension which is basically Minecraft’s end game and enchanting there’s many reasons that some people would not like Minecraft Having an end game but I don’t want this video to be an hour long so let’s talk about enchanting before version release 1.3.1 you needed at least 50 levels to enchant and after You’ enchant your item all of your levels would vanish into dust but after version 1.3.1 enchanting Got a lot easier as now you only needed 30 levels for a Max Level enchantment and most of your levels would stay 30 levels was still hard to get but obviously enchanting was a lot easier than before because of this change overpowered enchantments became a lot more accessible later on more things Were added that just made the game easier shields were added in 1.9 The Shield blocked all forms of dam damage PVP PVE projectile and explosion in 1.11 moang added elytra firework boosting before this update you could only Glide with the elytra but after this update You could fly as far as you wanted to till your elytra broke and this essentially ruined the exploration part of the game for many players why even build Railways anymore when you can just zoom around your world with the elytra this update also added one of the most Controversial items in the game the totem of undying you could now essentially cheat death in survival mode there isn’t even a limited numbers of how many times you can use this item as long as you had one in your off hand you’d practically become invincible in survival mode and with 1.14 the Villager Update the totem of undying even became a farmable item let’s talk about 1.14 though 1.14 is probably one of the most hated updates in the Golden Age Minecraft Community now you were able to easily buy enchantments from villagers you didn’t even have to go mining for diamonds anymore since you could now Just buy diamond tools and armor from villagers it completely overhauled and changed the game’s economy forever and those are most of the features that the Golden Age Minecraft Community hates by making this video I am not trying to say at all that the newer versions of the Game are bad what I’m trying to explain is why some people would dislike these features and play older versions of Minecraft instead I also made a video about why people actually play beta versions of Minecraft so consider checking that out I apologize if this video isn’t the best of quality I’m Still new to this type of content so this style is very much new to me but if you enjoyed this video consider subscribing to my channel thank you Video Information
