My argument AGAINST updating also stands as support against the argument that since the original creator left, mc has taken some unexpected turns. Originally, MC was built to be a survive-and-thrive game that mirrors, in its own blocky format, the real world. Where one could build villages castles, and dungeons like those in medieval times did. Where one would need to collect resources and food. Hostile mobs were only a means to push the player to need to gather those materials. Now, with dragons, and elytra, things look like they belong in a child's version of Skyrim instead. The lotr books try this same approach. Yes there is magic and dragons, but those were never the main focus. It was armies, and swords, peace, and war. Different races gave the world an ancient feeling, like mc mineshafts and temples try to do. There is not much useful in the new updates which turned survival into fantasy. I conclude.
