>>13785 i keep thinking someone should make a mod that makes it harder for me to go into a village steal all the beds and bread and go away to look for a mountain in a matter of minutes
like a faction mod that adds different villages and pillagers and you can become hostile/friendly to them depending on your actions and stuff

>>13786 It's even worse when you play on a tech-focused modpack like GTCE or Manufactio. In the latter you can even shit up your home chunk's air with pollutants and make it completely inhabitable until you craft a respirator and even then you'll have to manually refill it with spare filters or you'll die once the current one runs out.

>>13795 I'm sorry it's just lately everything seems so surreal and all these opinions become something people hold unironically. internet ideology i suppose.
So minecraft's production has a ceiling, right? Unless after updates people find more efficient ways to produce something, like iron, gold, etc. it has a cap, and many players hit that cap some time in their playthrough. All products lose their value, iron becomes dirt cheap, gold too with pigman farms. Diamonds maybe, but they'll find ways to dupe them too. In any case, most of the game's resources are easy to get. Production in most serious playthroughs is as automated as it can get, so the game is in "the highest stage of communism" as some people would say. But regardless, for the highest stage of communism we have to ask about separation of labor? Nowhere. Class society history? Nowhere. It's a solitary game. Development of productive forces? Well there is progress in that but it's isolated from other characteristics of human society. Minecraft is a solitary game, you're a little master doing your little master stuff. There is nothing that matches human economics in it, if we tried simulating that most of minecraft would *poof* go away.

Minecraft is a chore simulator for people that can only draw stickfigures.

>>14382 >first example Symmetric circles and squares. An eight year old could have (and has) drawn that.
>second example The same circle, but from the inside.
>third example 3d printer, no distinct features which are the hardest part of a human body, as I said, stick figure-tier.
>rows of the same color Can be done in paint in literal seconds. Copy paste a single pixel times 1300.
These are just examples proving me right. And here I am just talking about pen and paper. None of that fancy computer assisted art competent adults are capable of. There's zero reason to play minecraft when you can load up mecabricks or any sufficient paint tool, but you don't because you can't actually draw anything beyond stickfigures.

it has a very industrial capitalist vibe where you have to optimize natural exploitation for mass production

>>14504 >>14811 >>14854 Yup, it takes a lot of time for modders to update their mods to new versions. Mekanism for example is still 1.16.5, and some large classic mods like Gregtech, ThaumCraft and Railcraft are forever stuck in 1.12.2 because migrating them would be a giant pain in the ass for the devs, as well as the fact that it will cause new bugs and exploits to crop up and they will have to spend another couple of years hunting them down to make the mod stable again.

is ok tho, Create already allows you to make way better trains.
but people tend to forget about ships
