We have that. Its the mods on top of Minecraft. Nothing made will ever come close to those.

[–] A_Random_Idiot 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I eagerly look forward to not playing it.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago

Notch is a fascist.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure Terraria already exists.

I mean, to this day I haven't played a Minecraft clone that left me satisfied so I doubt Mr. Bored Depressed Billionaire over there will manage to capture lighting in a bottle twice...

(And I doubt he's using his free time to learn a new programming language either so it's gonna be Java again god help us all)

[–] 2ncs 2 points 1 hour ago

I believe he has been using JS now so all is good 🙏

[–] DerArzt 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Real talk what's wrong with Java? It's runtime is rock solid at this point and it's a very mature lang with a great ecosystem.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

To be fair I'm being a dickhead.
I'm sure Minecraft's slowness has more to do with how it was built/tech debt and such than Java itself, as the mods that massively boost performance show.

Notch has a track record of announcing things he wouldnt add

I am still waiting for fortress mode to be added to Minecraft, for the planned dlc and for the game to be licensed under an open source license

[–] TheEighthDoctor 4 points 1 day ago

Yes, the DLC we were promised for life for buying it during alpha.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Don't forget the story mode he said they're be adding.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Did they ever actually specify what they meant with that promise?

I mean, datapacks ARE a modding API. Not the kind we would have liked to see, but if a modding api is all they promised, then they did deliver on that.
It's called data-driven modding, and not exactly a rare approach among official modding APIs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hasnt that been added in bedrock edition?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

No idea but it was promised for Java

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Note it says work on, not finish.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

He still never finished Minecraft.

At this point, he should just rehire Jen's to do it again.

There's no Infiniminer 2 for him to crib ideas from though so hows that gonna work

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Infinifactory?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I assume he is still transphobic trash.

[–] TheEighthDoctor 84 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hard agree, fuck him for his dumb views, also I feel like I'm getting some downvotes because of him 🤣

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds 37 points 1 day ago

I feel like I hadn't heard shit about Notch since Trump's first term. Is this a bad sign

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This. I strongly disagree with his decision to let Microsoft take over the thing that is basically cocaine for kids.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Okay, for me the racist and general far right stuff is the bigger problem with Notch.

[–] Agent_Karyo 101 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Didn't he get all fucked up and miserable from all that money from the sale to MS?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's why his new game is going to suck, on purpose. 😃

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

So it's going to be AAAA

[–] icecreamtaco 32 points 1 day ago

Ten years of early retirement is probably enough time to refuel his interest in creating

His controversy section on wikipedia is fascinating. Is he still a Q believer?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I was wondering the same when K saw a similar post earlier... Can't find anything about his current views or beliefs.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

His positions have swung around a lot, and apparently he's inclined to depression and moods swings? I hope he's come out of the cult thinking, at least, and making a new game is a sign he's not in that obsessive mindset anymore. I'm not interested in giving him my money, but it'd be better for everyone if he wasn't into conspiracies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That's good to hear, I think. Not all bad.

Who's Notch? I thought Hatsune Miku made Minecraft.

I thought there already was a spiritual successor to Minecraft: Vintage Story

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There’s hundreds if not thousands spiritual successors to Minecraft.

[–] Buddahriffic 2 points 5 hours ago

My favorite so far has been Enshrouded. Voxel world that doesn't look like it's made of cubes, plus souls like combat (though not nearly the same difficulty).

Okay, but haven't we already had this in the form of [ Insert Failed Game Here ] or Luanti?

[–] garretble 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We already have Dragon Quest Builders.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

The superior game and it already has a sequel!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

This is the way. Dragon Quest builders 2 is a joy to look at and play.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago

What happened to 0x10^C ya bigoted fuckkkk I liked the concept of that one

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Sounds like he finally ran out of that Microsoft money.

[–] Diplomjodler3 13 points 1 day ago

Only white people will be allowed to play.

[–] BombOmOm 14 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Hopefully it will be a banger like the first!
