Mevans is a very tallented minecraft mod developer, but that doesn't mean you can make a good game, for a number of reasons: 1. Games are usually written in other languages than Java (That's the language Minecraft and Minecraft mods are written in). These languages are really different from Java. 2. Making games is really difficult. You know Shadow of War? Hunderds of people work on that, every day. And yet it takes 2-3 years to make it. If Mevans were to make it alone in his free time, we would have to wait (3 * 3 (I'm guessing that what a game developer at WB Games does takes Mevans 3 days) * 100 = 900) 900 years before it's finished. 3. Mevans is a coder, not a artist, composer, level designer, CEO or one of the other 10 things needed to make a good game. 4. Minecraft isn't dying. It's still growing, but a lot of the community makes it look like it's dying.
