Hunger system removed the fun from exploration, and fundamentally hamstringed the game as a result. The game could have had way more cool stuff that changes the way you play that you could acquire via exploration but the high food demand that the game presents fundamentally slows the game and hurts exploration immensely all while impeding creativity.
When the nether was added, it was supposed to be the first of many biomes that radically changed the game, but it remained functionally useless until nether fortresses, which in turn really only served as a source of potions and tools to reach the end, another biome that remained unfinished for a very long time (and arguably still is, over a decade later). Even now I'd argue that the nether is flawed conceptually.
Beyond this, the developers routinely showed that they don't understand certain things that were clearly wanted by the players, for example, the Anvil was meant to create a system in place that allowed players to keep their tools forever, something that players wanted, but they slapped on an increasing level tax on repairs that made it so tools eventually became useless (unless you have mending). This is further worsened by the increasing shift toward making it a lobotomized roguelike instead of elaborating on the survival aspects.
The game is dead and I have no pity for those who still play vanilla. Download GregTech mechaenetia.com/downloads/
What high food demand? You eat like 1 steak a day. Play creative if you don't like it. Its been like over a decade and you people are still seething about hunger. No one else agrees with you. How can you criticize the lack of survival features and complain about food in the same breath? Also, its a fucking kids game. Grow up loser.
you eat 1 steak a day if you are a lego faggot iddling in your house thinking about how to decorate it, the moment you start to sprint you will be eating like nicokadoavocado and you know it, fucking disingenuous faggot

old good, new bad

I really wonder what working at Mojang was like. After the halloween update the development became completely directionless and slowed to even more of a crawl. Did they all just come to work, not talk to each other, write like 12 lines of code then punch out?

if you like old minecraft so bad then fork classicube and make a beta 1.7.3 clone.

There are literally animals as you explore.

In like 1.13 (and a parity change coming in 1.19 for Bedrock) hunger takes forever to dissapate.
And even prior to it, you're a retard. I don't know how often I sprint a bunch and then fly into a wall or jump off a building pillar to the ground and take damage or something and only have to eat maybe 2 or 3 times a day doing that.

The flaw with the nether is apparent when you see that they need to actively force you to go there or else you never would. The nether just sucks as a place overall and having to add onto it enough that years later its now only sort of fun to go to the nether unprompted really shows how shit it is

Hunger was shit, but biomes killed immersion >take two steps >snow >walk five more >jungle

The least they could do would be to boost the number of animals that generate, and make animals drop a lot more food, like 3-5 pieces of meat per cow and pig minimum.
Hunger systems in general piss me off desu. They never feel "immersive" or whatever buzzword it is people who enjoy the feature would associate with it, personally I've always just found it a tedious hassle. Food items take up inventory space I could be devoting to other more important items and stopping everything I'm doing just to eat because if I don't I'll die doesn't make me "feel like the character" or something, it just reminds me "oh hey I gotta use this consumable or my guy with die/rapidly lose health or stamina or some shit"

It's piss easy to deal with, cope and seethe faggot.
Wyatt Hughes
Also didn't read lol
Gavin King
That's the point you imbecile It's a useless time wasting "feature" that has nothing to do with survival
Samuel Carter
>i sprint and fly >i jump and take fall damage! boy oh boy you're fucking retarded, try searching for the end portal on foot while throwing eyes and sprinting, then come back and tell me you didn't eat like 20 fucking fishes on a day's trip you ESL cunt.
