Pokemon in Minecraft...

...holy crap...
The insanity starts after 11:00.
Ampera:
It's pretty neat what you can do with command blocks in this game.

I absolutely fail to grasp/comprehend/understand what the 'Thang' is with kids these days 'liking' MineCraft?? :phew: :scared:
The visual Graphics is absolute RUBBISH, so what is it that they SEE in it??
Maybe it's like 'South Park', as opposed to others, where the graphics/animations are deliberately crap, but that's part of it? |O
Ranayna:
Ever seen or used LEGO? It's just a pile of plastic bricks, what do people see there? :p
Just look at this video, realize what is possible within Minecraft, and you can quickly see what is so fascinating about the game.
Or would you rather see everyone just play the 112th iteration of Call of Duty?
I play a lot of games myself, and while i can appreciate nice graphics, they can never, for me at least, be the "be all, end all" in games. The "game" part is so much more important :p

OK Boomer.
It's one of the most modded and customized games ever. That is just the tip of the surface of what you can do, just with vanilla programming with command blocks and redstone. Modded gets even more crazy.
There are mods for just about everything out there, and alot of technical ones too (that don't require a VM setup) with several computer mods called Computer Craft and Open Computers that you can code your own graphical operating systems in game from scratch, program drones, do CAD and 3D printing, exc. Plenty of factory style mods too, while totally "video gamey" in their science, still involve critical thinking and engineering mindsets to build complicated systems. That's what gets kids and even adults to love science and engineering, rather than than scream at people in Fortnite and COD.
Sure, most annoying kids that play Minecraft are dumb and just want to kill other players and prank them cause that's what the popular youtubers do. But there are alot of smart people that do amazing things as well.
