I absolutely fail to grasp/comprehend/understand what the 'Thang' is with kids these days 'liking' MineCraft??
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?
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.
Hi there,
Cyberdragon... Hahaha... I guess I am a '
Boomer'.... as in...
https://www.vox.com/2019/11/19/20963757/what-is-ok-boomer-meme-about-meaning-gen-z-millennialsI don't take offense at that, although it seems it was originally derogatory!
I admit I was previously 'uneducated' about not just the original 'MineCraft' as it was, but the amount of work/effort that was being done
behind the scenes by many coders, to achieve what you showed me in the Youtube video in your answer to me! I DID watch that video, and
I do now understand a lot more. And how it has become a 'Platform' to present and do many other things. How ever...
I personally, am not in 'any' way a 'multi-player'/'online' sort of person, as I understand now that the likes of 'MineCraft' IS! And I noticed a few
times within that Video, some text popping up to the effect of...
"
Your screen resolution is too high for a live feed to be sent to other players!"... Then I guess it 'clicked'! about details & transmission?.
Previously,
Ranayna said to me... "
Ever seen or used LEGO? It's just a pile of plastic bricks, what do people see there? "
Yes... I GET that, and if it was a 'LEGO Simulator' then I would expect it to look like... 'LEGO'... that's a given! (Not into 'Call of Duty' either!)
I'm just surprised that 'kids these days', accept/tolerate the simplistic blocky graphics, as much as they do??
Have a nice day/night... P.S... How old are you??
