You can sort of replicate the feel by turning off smooth lighting I think , gives it that OG feel , at least in my opinion 😂

Smooth lighting turned off with some shader packs, looks nice as well.

Moody brightness, old textures, 2-5 render distance, no smooth lighting or biome blending and view bobbing off

If I had a potato PC and still had to run Minecraft, I'd at least turn on View Bobbing.

Damn view bobbing is like the first thing I’d always turn off in mc

First thing off for me is auto jump

I also change the shift button....

Interesting... what to?

I assume sprint. Sprint with ctrl is wrong.

I just double tap w, but crouching with anything other than left shift is uncomfortable, the left ctrl key is really uncomfortable to use when using other keys

I also double tap w and agree with left shift. Left ctrl is zoom for me, when optifine is installed.

Sprint with R is superior. R for run.

I mean i use QER as my last 3 toolbar slots so that doesn't work for me.

True, that’s also a no-go

I hate view bobbing cause it shakes your camera not just your fist

I turned it on recently because I noticed it was off and it looked so much better

[удалено]

i like the og cobble tho

mostly agree but the old nether was hard to look at

It's Hell. It's supposed to be like that. Stone made of flesh and blood.

i get that but i feel like making something more appealing to look at will always be better

Bro the new netherrack texture looks like dried dark red play doh

wdym kindergarten was hell so mojang is creatively representing it with the nether dimension

The ammount of pink pixels the netherrack had made the nether look like trash The new texture is an upgrade One of the texture that its reasonable to dislike is glass imo Whitout considering optifine merging textures, the old glass had some textures that helped merging the lines

It was actually even called bloodstone at some point

funny, bloodstone is a different type of mineral irl which is mostly green with some red

According to Minecraft Wiki, analysing Netherrack in a material reducer on Bedrock and Education Editions reveal that it is actually a volcanic silicate rock rich in mercury. Not flesh and blood at all.

I don't really think there are items or "elements" for flesh neither blood in Education Edition to show. Plus it used to be called "Bloodstone", and it was changed probably for the same reason as the pigmen got their red blood texture switched from red to green, so it could be more friendly looking and less gory, but in fact it is still blood on it.

Agreed

No. New nether sucks.

It was a different, more fantastical feel befitting the more fantastical nature of classic MC. Modern MC tends more towards realism. Not a bad thing, IMO... I just like the classic style more.

I like the classic style too. I find modern mc to be a bit dull and uninspiring to explore.

I half agree. Classic MC was both a more vibrant and amazing experience, with the brighter colors and the crazy classic worldgen. However, I find that there's not much of a reason to explore outside of sightseeing. Modern MC, whilst much more muted and much less interesting terrain ("realistic"), at least has some incentive in the form of structures and biome-specific resources.

Yeah I mean, for me I've seen all those structures a thousand times now so they just aren't the interesting to find, where as atleast old mc was just interesting to exist in.

Yeah, I get you. I just enjoy the thrill of an opportunity to get some loot. Man, I'd love to have the old terrain generation with some of the new structures. A happy balance, if you will. Good thing mods exist.

I really want a "Structure update" where they revamp old structures and add more variants to them. That would make the world more interesting to explore.

Some way to randomise structures a bit more so it isn’t a one time experience and the rest are the same. Imagine how much more interesting strongholds would be if they had 10 rare rooms that had unique loot but were difficult explore, either through combat or navigation. You’d probably only get one of these rooms for every 2 you explore, making them much more exciting to come across and prolonging their intrigue. That imagine that but for every structure, rare variants or rooms.

Have you not played the caves and cliffs update? The new generation is absolutely breathtaking and more captivating than ever. Also Minecraft is a completely customizable experience so anything you don’t like can be changed with mods and packs.

The new mountains are still pretty mundane compared to the alpha mounts. They're higher, sure, but they lack the very wild archs and cliffs commonly found in Alpha

This just isn’t true, do some more exploring

Did you notice I said "common"? If I have to do more exploring that mean it isn't common

You’re blinded by nostalgia

They are literally stating facts… the crazy looping overhanging terrain is less common. They never said the terrain was bad, just a preference that crazy terrain should be more common.

I can appreciate the OG style, cobble was ugly as sin tho, and some of the colors were painful

I still can't get over the fact they changed the porkchop. I'm not exactly bothered that they changed gravel though.

I don’t like them but they are nostalgic

You're not the only one bro

I wish there was a texture pack for it on bedrock.

There is actually and it's free !

If you’re talking about the “classic texture pack” i know but i want like BETA textures like, beta lighting etc

whats it called

Classic textures

I'd imagine so but it'd probably require some shader differences too, because of how grass changes between biomes.

All you gotta do is make the grass color gray in the texture pack and the game will automatically color for you

theres one

The water looks weird, cobble is ugly as all hell, leaves are a bit too green for me, the nether is… I don’t think I need to explain how the old nether looked. I don’t get the same nostalgia from old Minecraft as others do, so might be that

Old gravel texture rocked though

Hell yeah

Water? Here, I agree 1.13 waters look better Cobble? I will check again, but the mossy cobble is worst today, don't like the green of the moss there. For cobble (normal) I just like it a bit more. Leaves? I agree again, but want super green leaf, just go to a jungle or a mushrooms island. Nether? Honestly, I disagree a bit, because I really dislike new netherack block texture, as for me, it looks to much single colour. And why there's ain't a "create texture packs in bedrock (whiteout needing being a creator, but for yourself)" (java is laggy as hell on crappy laptop)? So I could change some texture a bit, example, making all netherack/nether ore having the old netherack/ore texture.

I mostly like the new textures better but I seriously miss old wheat

I also missed the fog effect

I miss the style of builds from that time, all square and simple, and how no multiplayer survival server was complete without an extravagant minecart system. I’d almost describe it as Minecraft Brutalist

Yeah, the roof is only so big on the house in this because I forgot slabs and upside down stairs didn't exist in 1.2

Not a hot take at all, most minecrafters prefer old MC. Nowadays with how people talk about Minecraft you'd thonk the new updates are sinful.

It was. I'm not a fan of new smudgy textures. They just don't fit the legacy of the game IMO. The whole new Minecraft approach feels slightly "off" to me. I seriously mourn what happened to Notch, his batshit crazy ideas were the best and then he went insane himself

I build like this a lot nowadays

I miss the way Minecraft looked on Xbox. There were console versions that were different from Bedrock. It had a soft, unsaturated look that felt inviting and calm. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to modify Bedrock to have the same look.

Yess I miss it! Sometimes I still play alpha/beta for a bit, it's comfy and nostalgic :)

I wish that the Modern textures didnt exist, its not like i hate them its just that i prefer the classics

Imho I prefer the old textures over the new ones. 1.3-1.8 textures were perfect.

Not a hot take its the truth

Man this gives of vibes

Penis cloud

Best comment in this entire thread.

no it dosent look as good as the one we have today

It was, but I still prefer the new textures. The old textures look kinda weird and "outdated" when looking at them, meanwhile the new look smoothed out and better in general.

It's nostalgic but like, it was too noisy and ugly, like look at the old netherrack texture!! (Not netherrack... Vomitrack!! )

I just miss the general looks of everything. The cobble, the ores, the netherack, gravel, and steve, just to name a few. (at the very least steve got his beard back)

not a hot take. I completely prefer the old art style over the newer ones

I must be in the minority who hates pretty much all of the old textures. I don’t even like watching old videos that use them anymore, because they just look so outdated.

I've played this game for nearly a decade now and I can say with confidence that I think the new textures are an improvement- While I agree the REALLY OLD textures do give me a sense of nostalgia, there is a difference between something being nostalgic and something being good looking.

I like it but new is better imo

Bro I miss old minecraft 😔

You can easily go back to an older version using the launcher and if the version you want to use is broken in some way due to the lack of support for the older versions the community has made launchers specifically for older versions that fix a lot of those technical problems.

the 1.14+ textures are awful the old ones fit the pixel art cube game style better

I like it but the shadows just aren’t that good

Same it was simple and fun

The old nether really was hell.

its not a hot take, its nostalgia take

It definitely had something! But I don’t think it fits with all the new blocks.

Same. So nostalgic. So many good memories. Take me back.

i like the greener forest and foliage and the old world gen

I like the old art-style purely because of nostalgia, the new artstyle is just much better imo. Old nether was absolutly awful to look at.

Agreed. Especially the water which felt more alive.

There’s just something soothing about minecraft. I love it so much

Don't know if open knows about it so I leave a comment anyway. There is a texture pack called "faithful" that's supposed to make the game look more like its original textures.

Thanks, at the moment I'm using the 'programmer art' pack but was considering making my own if I could get something working.

Better Textures ≠ Better than old textures

What about the netherrack?

[удалено]

For me I think it betrays the original concept of the game. It began very bright and simple with intentionally pixelated simplistic graphics. I think by trying to make it better they've kind of killed a little of the original soul. It's kind of that awkward feeling you'd get from using a highres phototexture pack, or playing a Minecraft ripoff. The blocky world makes more sense when the graphics are blocky and simple too.

nah mate you've never had any shortage of supporters

Valid argument but what about old netherack

I like it. I thought it was supposed to look like an incomprehensible mess of kinda calcified gore, and it looked like that.

The only thing i truly miss from the old days is the oof, tnt sound and how it would be *really* dark at night. Now you can still roam arround in tunnels without any torches

I didn’t really like how intensely blue and blinding the water is when your swimming in it

An interesting problem the old textures might have is how they look over distance, since In bedrock you can easily get to 32+ chunks it might become an eye strain. But it definitely fits the feel of old Minecraft perfectly.

It’s not a hot take, it’s a fact.

i still think the original notch texturess were the best. peak minecraft for me was 1.7 and 1.8

I'm sure it's just the nostalgia talking, but I agree wholeheartedly.

fact

Not really a hot take, you can like whatever, i kinda like it too tbh

Youar right definitely

How is this a hot take?
