Thread 724047113

why isn't it as iconic as diamond?

x5 more times effort to get it for at best a x2 improvement

You can make coal ingots now?

>>724047113 (OP)
Because it's a brown shit-brick that you have to strip mine for while finding nothing else aside from gold nuggets. I've never bothered to get a full set of this stuff before and I've been playing since 2010.

>>724047113 (OP)
brown

I haven't played much minecraft in years but from what I know, it's excessively laborious to gather to the point where people abuse some exploit with beds to gather it. Like >>724047153 said, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

>Block Breaking capacity stops at Diamond tools, this hits the cap on block hardness
>Because of block breaking speed mechanics and enchanting Netherite doesn't provide a useful improvement to speed over diamond unless you're mining through solid walls of obsidian (this doesn't happen)
>The mistake of durability and repair mechanics has already been bandaged by mending which makes all tools effectively unbreakable
>tremendous pain in the ass to obtain because minecraft devs are retarded and are allergic to making a good game (they never did in the first place)
>If shields didn't ALREADY make armor completely superfluous nothing in minecraft presents any hazard to a player wearing even iron
>"PvP" is watching cheat clients spam end crystal explosions on eachother which TADA is also rendered redundant by enchantments
All this considered all you have is shitty Black-ish diamond equipment you can throw into lava
No fucking duh nobody gives a shit.

>>724047113 (OP)
Because it's new and no one wants to bother blowing up tens of beds to find enough debris to upgrade your diamond items for negligible differences in damage, speed and durability.

I think the reason why I liked minecraft was because it reminded me of the maze screensaver of windows 98 and that it gave off a dungeon crawler atmosphere.

unironically because its grey
if it was any other real colour it wouldnt be as forgettable

What are these ghasts doing???

>>724047585
Also keep in mind like most of this as an issue comes from minecraft basically completely running out of actual game design all the way back in indev and becoming an sdk/somehow the least shit map creation tool we have presently.

>>724047113 (OP)
Because diamonds existed for well over a decade now, and what the fuck even is this.

maybe because it was added 15 years later you big fucking moron

>>724047113 (OP)
they should've made it (or at least the tools/armor themselves) some firey red/orange bullshit
diamond being eye-melting cyan makes it pop out way more compared to this boring gray sludge

>>724047113 (OP)
The hidden truth Notch doesn't want you to know is that Netherite is actually a mix of goyslop, sewage, cum, low quality cocaine and radioactive waste that has been pressed into a bar under extremely high presure.

I learned everything about minecraft from 2009 to like 2014 when I stopped playing it, and coming back to the game after like 8 years was a level of whiplash that I just wasn't interested in investing in.

>>724047113 (OP)
Turns out updating your game a tiny bit at a time every year makes people totally forget the stuff you added. Nothing is ever really huge or game changing, it's like, "Oh ok, that's neat I guess."

>>724047186
they should either buff it or make it far more common, along with introducing enemies that warrant or include an end game plus where mobs now spawn with higher tier armor and enchants to justify getting it

>>724049562
Mobs *do* spawn with higher tier armor and enchantments later in the game, but it just takes so much time of you staying in one place so the local difficulty goes up that most players don't even know it's a feature.
Not that it actually matters much anyway, because if you're staying in one spot long enough for zombies to start spawning in diamond armor you sure as shit have a fortified base (Or you know, a fence).

Because they completely missed the mark on the entire survival gamemode. What is there to do in terms of progression in minecraft? There's no cookbook, no complex recipes or buff effects for food, no weather system, no seasons, no levels that really matter. Enchantment is about the most complex thing in the game. Minecraft has only been going on long enough because redstone, and even that has its limits but its a sandbox mechanic.

Why even have a survival gamemode when its not about survival? There lies your problem. What is the point of a new armor if its not needed to face new dangerous areas, bosses and realms?

Vintage story is actually a survival voxel game where you have to be prepared otherwise you will die.

That's why microsoft has made bedrock with paids mods and gamemodes to turn it more into roblox than a survival game.

Minecraft was never supposed to be a survival game.

>>724049643
I recently learned that there's a ton of things that happen it hard mode that don't happen in normal, including spiders spawning with random potion effects.

>>724049698
well that's the fundamental problem with open world and procedural shit, isn't it. you can't design a proper game that way

>>724047153
You know what the difference is between being hit by a diamond sword while wearing diamond armor, and taking the same hit while in netherite?
1.89 and 1.792 damage.

Netherite saves you less than 1/20 of a heart.

>>724049715
Here's another fun lesser known fact; Phantoms can be different sizes, but for some reason only spawn as the same one every time.
Giant ones would really make this annoying mob cooler.

>>724050000
>70 damage phantoms

>let me get this straight
>You want me to strip mine
>In the nether
>At a Y level mostly covered in lava lakes
>Using beds

Ain't nobody got time for all that OP. Netherrite gonna be cooler when they add Microhardium at the end of the next Xbox dimension that's ultra rare and better than netherrite.

Then they'll start adding netherrite to more nationally spawning structures in Xbox dimension making it even easier to collect.

>>724050000
>Building something in sky 250 blocks up

Thank God this doesn't exist

>>724047113 (OP)
In the rare chances I play Meincaft I forget that shit even exists

>>724049698
>Vintage story is actually a survival voxel game where you have to be prepared otherwise you will die.
that game is fucking ridiculous. A fox bit me on the ankle and it took 1/4 of my health. It also has probably the worst hitbox detection ever programmed in video game. Rift and drifter are just mere annoyance instead being scary (at least while on the surface), and the dev definitely hates water with how awful their water related and fish content.

>>724050413
Vintage story was just an OG Minecraft modpack turned into a game like DayZ

>>724050413
>A fox bit me on the ankle and it took 1/4 of my health.
This is because furries are so fucking disgusting that you take 1/4 of your health bar in psychic damage for making body contact with one even if the actual physical damage only would have taken off 1/100 of your health bar.

>>724050413
The hit boxes never rotate. They always remain in line with the map grid. Someone posted an image of a boat positioned diagonally in the grid and how bullshit the hit boxes are.

>>724051004
>meanwhile any entity can detect you even behind wall and can throw rocks more accurate than anti missile

>>724047113 (OP)
Because it's more iconic. Retard.

>>724047113 (OP)
bloatslop

too tedious for casuals to obtain
negligible upgrade over diamond
visually uninteresting (wow a game where the ultimate armor is black how original)

If they just made it purple or green or red or something people would remember it exists

Emerald armor when

>>724047153
Netherite's only improvement is durability which is not really an issue in the first place with diamond tools.

>>724047153
this

>>724047113 (OP)
no surprise to find. needs to spawn at any height, with air exposure. mojang saw branch mining videos and thought the meta is how people play for fun.
ugly.

>>724047113 (OP)
Because it's an ugly piece of shit (looks like a slab of peat or something) that is annoying as fuck to get. Has nothing on diamond's iconic shape, texture, color.

I thought it was modded content at first, I came back this month

>>724057825
I know that it's a diamond from the top perspective but it always looked like a backpack to me.
They should have used the classic diamond from the side perspective.

>>724058054
>diamond from the top perspective
desu i never even saw it like that, to me it always just seemed like a weird egg-shaped diamond

>>724047113 (OP)
Most stopped playing before it was added
I only played the new cave update for a week or so

>>724058054
>>724058162
I think it's just meant to be an egg-shaped diamond.

I miss Minecraft

This is all I can think of for niggerite

>>724049906
Small, if true

>>724048120
Uuoohhh

>>724048120
she ghastly on my nethers

>>724047113 (OP)
Because Terraria has always been the better game to actually play as a video game and not as a "lego but it looks worse" building simulator.

Mojang won't even give mobs drops anymore because they're ran by the literal biggest pussies to ever walk the earth

>>724047585
I know they wanted "inferior" armor to have niche use cases but netherite would be vastly improved if it retained the unique properties of the gold it's made from
>makes Piglins neutral
>higher enchantability

>>724049906
Netherite's main privilege is that it doesn't burn in lava punishing you less for being retarded and flying into lava

There is no use case for survival mode in Minecraft. Remove it
>create a world
>get infinite farm of every resource running in the first 30 minutes
>enjoy creative without flying (it takes anothee 5 minutes to shank the ender dragon and get it though)
You look into recent updates and it's pretty obvious that Mojang encourages this. There is no reason for survival mode to exist

>>724048120
Wanted a ride from a happy ghast.

because minecraft ended at 1.7

>>724047113 (OP)
Because Diamonds literally existed since the beginning while Nethershit is new.

>>724064524
you could also just not play like a speedrunning autist

>>724047113 (OP)
One diamond block gives you a single diamond, which is already enough to make something useful (shovel and now spear)
One ancient debris gives you a single netherite scrap, which is completely useless on its own.
