Alpha felt scarier, don't know why

it was an obscure game

>potential
Sure. And there are some genuinely spooky moments.
>Caving, making sure to not put your lights too far apart and create patches of darkness
>Come back to your main tunnel
>A Creeper is waiting for you right there

I hate to admit it, but minecraft cave sounds make me jump sometimes.

maybe it's the lighting,

also I don't really get scared by a lot of the new cave sounds, anyone else?

It's all about the immersion and goals you have, if you wanted to you could just survive by having a farm on a floating island

Torches only emitted grey light. Now theyre orange and comfy

In later patches, they added noises that are totally over-the-top just for spook factor, which is dumb.

the lighting was different and the old block textures and overall graphics gave off a different atmosphere, plus the game was way more difficult

Played Minecraft with VR at my friend's house. Scary as fuck, loved it.

is there no easter sale on steam this year?

It turns out you only need to add a Baritone bot that chases you to make Minecraft even more scary. youtube.com/watch?v=O60zJzhYGEA&

People used to call this a survival horror game when it first game out.

It was pretty spooky being alone out at night I guess but the thought is still funny to me.

Also that it was generally more difficult. fire could get out of control really quickly, creepers were silent before they exploded, and the player generally didn't have as many tools at their disposal to deal with the threats they faced. The stakes were higher and that combined with the atmosphere made it very creepy and mysterious.

Modern Minecraft is more wondrous and mysterious, although they do seem to be adding creepy elements back in slowly. As irritating as Phantoms are, the concept and their screams are genuinely unsettling, and I really like the basalt/soulsand biomes for the Nether, the particle effects and especially the new music is fantastic and makes it scarier. But there's still a long way to go to achieve the same creepiness Alpha had, especially since it isn't obscure anymore.

All mobs shared the same footstep sounds
>hear footsteps
>have no idea if it's a creeper or a chicken until you stop and hope you hear idle mob sounds

Exploring caves makes me tense as fuck. I always look at my back to see if someone's staring at me.

Some mods have some good horror elements, like increased difficulty and more intelligent mobs. I would recommend the Invasion modpack, it becomes straight up survival horror

I agree, but the stupid villagers kind of ruin it. It's like their inclusion made the game less eerie somehow.

creepers could see through walls and would always pop up as soon as you turned around, they where also silent and you did't have enchantments and shit, so being thrown to the lava while mining diamons was still deadly they where much scarier back in alpha

It's definitely the lighting. When I was younger and played the alpha I remember that freaking me out more than anything else.

>void fog was removed ages ago
Not anymore, no.

Wasn't there a meme cave ambience that had a 0.01% chance of playing and was just some bongo drums?

Also yeah the new ones fucking blow. The minecart ones are good but the rest sound like fucking unity game horror stings. It's trying embarrassingly hard to sound scary.

a lot of recent editions make the game less eerie, even the nether has a real ecosystem now which makes it feel too much like a real place and not a bizarre hellscape

well the game IS meant for kids, user. or so MS thinks.

what's the comfiest version of the game to play?

>Vanilla
Whatever version has your favorite custom maps.
>Modded
1.7, forever and ever.

A lot of the random worlds that just got added in the April fool's update make me feel super uneasy

God, you just reminded me of something awful.
>Guy who made the Super Hostile series is finally making a new (full) map, made a decent mini CTM a year ago
>It's actually going to be a fucking modded CTM map...
>Featuring RLCraft

really simple there was a room of mystery not everything was shared on the internet the game now is much more documented everyone knows everything and if you dont know you can easily google it

Minecraft is unironically one of the best games out there

>play a modpack that has eyes in the dark
>mfw

Is MC worth playing nowadays? I haven't touched it since they added levels and potions and all that shit

cave update when?

Probably because for some people the Villagers give off the sense that the world is "populated", sort of, despite living at primitive levels and being almost defenseless due to their pacifism. Take out the Villagers/Pillagers, and the Overworld becomes this huge, empty wilderness full of eldritch monsters with very sparse, advanced structures indicating that someone built them at some point, but who, for what, and what society they had, if any, is lost to time. The Nether is literally Hell, trapped/tormented souls and all, with similar signs of intelligence scattered within but only the sparsest clues as to what happened. The End has an alien, almost unfathomable society that's still alive, but rapidly dying along with their world.

Despite their barbarism the Villagers seem much more like a functioning, if vulnerable, society, and one that's not in danger of dying out anytime soon. That might take away from some of the omnipresent Shoujo Shuumatsu-style desolation present everywhere else

The what?

play with mods

It was in a sorry state for a while but it's getting closer to being a functioning game again since 1.13-ish

there was more room for your imagination to go crazy. now everything is locked down and quantified with goals and villages and so on

There's a random world generator you can use. You type in warp commands and (most) phrases act like really fucked level seeds. Others are hand crafted as Easter eggs. I think it's PC only

Oh, neat.

I never got scared lol

looks like blighttown from ds1

Villagers were a fucking mistake. They're like retarded housecats that just exist and do nothing, but they keep designing content that revolves around waiting over them.

Should have just left the world unpopulated, or at most leave them as a super rare occurrence like they originally were.

only if you like doing dumb shit on servers

>super rare occurrence like they originally were.
when were they first added, and when was their spawn chance increased?

It was the sheer mystery about the world, I constantly wondered if I was alone or not and what kind of place I was living in. With the introduction of villagers and witches and stuff it made the world feel more typical

dang, that's pretty cool. Kinda wish he'd do it with the cubic chunks mod so the true size of the city could be fully exploited.

I believe it's called the infinity update.

No

agreed. 1.8 Beta was great

Yeah you gotta play with mods. Vanilla isn't worth it and Microsoft additions are mostly trash.

The world was actually ALIVE and DANGEROUS. Now it's just mush

They should have kept them as weird pig people, because at least that was creepy and sort of fit into the world. Villagers look too silly and that has a knock on effect of having the pillagers and other similar enemies also looking silly.

people always say minecraft isnt fun vanilla, but i think the actual problem is just playing this game alone. I cant play for more than 20 hours without getting bored. I need a friend to always play with me or I run out of steam real fast.

Name a good minecraft mod that isn't just adding bumblebees or building tubes all over the fucking place that automate the game for you

>Name a [subjective taste] minecraft mod that isn't just [subjective taste]

The first time I played it (like 10 years ago) I was scared shitless. I hid in a hole over the night and then climbed out in the morning only to be blown up by a creeper.

you really cant think of anything? jesus

I have to agree there has been nothing more satisfying than setting up an immserive engineering bio-diesel production factory and turning on those 3 giant diesel generators and just watching the sounds and animations.

I honestly don't know a single one.

The new ones are all just too long.

>caving in silence
>volume on high
>arrow out of fucking nowhere

The biggest mistake by far is their appearance. What the fuck were they thinking?

>CLATHUMP
>proceed to spin my mouse wildly

Hunger update killed the game for me. I'm still mad.

Yes, i know.

The lighting, but also the game is optimized to the point where you know what you’re getting into. If you want some good exploration that can actually surprise you, play Super Hostile.

Am I the only one that remembers how the game sometimes made random creepy noises? I heard it was because it was supposed to indicate when you are close to a mine but it was still creepy since it came outta nowhere.

>Name a [subjective taste] minecraft mod that isn't just [subjective taste]

Find something that fulfills your subjective taste yourself?
You really can't do your own searching? Jesus.
