Hi
I wil tell you why I think it is, but I would hope there is some discussion as I do love discussion. So I do play Minecraft, I binge a lot then take short breaks.
One of it's greatest appeals is the sandbox, but so many other games have this now. Same holds true for the building, so it is not that one aspect either. What I feel makes it so appealing is the blend between the survival, sandbox, and building.
Few games manage to combine these in just the right amounts to make them memorable, but somehow Notch managed to create the perfect balance. So what about it's future?
It appears that the future of Minecraft may not be so bright. In the pressure to add more content, they may be going too far into one aspect and forgetting the rest. Don't get me wrong, I love the additions coming in version 1.14 so much I am waiting to reset my server for that update.
But 1.13 added a few questionable elements to the mobs. For one, the turtles, their mechanics are so alien and unworkable to the vanilla game. As a mod it would have worked, one that changed all the tamable mobs to behave similarly but in vanilla the turtles feel out of place.
The trident also feels out of place, as cool as the concept is the mechanics for it feel forced. Like a last minute addition made just to appeal to some unknown niche of Minecrafters. The phantom is another such element that feels forced.
The phantom is an unnecessary pest in the early game, then a necessary but annoying pest later. Which saddens me because Minecraft needs flying mobs, but mods have done it much better.
The great additions are the fish, love it! The few blocks they added don't add much to building though. I do like the water zombies, but please change them to something more unique. Sharks would have been a much better addition instead of more zombros.
1.14 however, I could post a million words praising the new additions to that version, so I'll keep it to 1.13 and earlier here.
What would be nice is a crafting recipe for the elytra, to make up for the change in how it's repaired. As it is, on multiplayer echat servers elytra are more omeglz valuable than anything in the game.

i played minecraft for few years now, not sure why tho u are a bit upset ( just wonder) about new update in 1.14 im right now at 1.18.2 theres more to explore there is more building blocks to find, there's more and more. minecraft will always suprised me with more content - I'm on PC, there's alot of thing that i do like to add to my game such as resourcepack and other modd that makes the game feels fresh. especially when u played Minecraft modded such as RLCraft, i didnt know until recently this mod really got me in everyway ( i mean in the good way - feels like a kid that cant wait to go home to explore the world). overal i dont see minecraft would be dead anytime soon, with moded minecraft and open source game, theres always something new to try especially the VR Minecraft i'd love to play that
Minecraft Pocket Edition followed around the same time, releasing on Android in October, and on iOS in November of that year.
Since then, Minecraft has spread across a number of platforms. It’s currently available for Windows 10, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo 3DS. You can also still play the Java Edition, as well as Pocket Edition.

It has reach, but interestingly it's also become a family gaming experience that can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. My 6 y.o. nephew really enjoys playing the game alongside my brother and sister-in-law. Games like that can be hard to come by.
I actually never ever played Minecraft. I still don't get the hype. I've seen a few youtube videos but they never interested me

That was me years ago, i was like what is the fun to put the block together and bla bla bla about minecraft, then i played Trial Mod with friends. It really hooked me since until today I was still playing it once in awhile its just theres always something to build if you have a project in your world or server.
Because there's nothing else like it. Minecraft is basically its own genre. There might be other games that people claim are similar, but I've never seen another game with the same vibe.
