    Well, which do we think would annoy nerds more: Lego bricks changing so that they or some combination thereof achieve a truly cubic aspect ratio (currently they’re not and they never have been; a 1x1x1 Lego brick is taller than it is wide or deep, and no approved combination of stock Lego parts can produce a truly cubic 1x1 piece) or Minecraft blocks suddenly changing to be vertically elongated to match Lego?

      Lego used to have a brand called Modelex with 1x1x1 aspect ratio bricks. The brand is still around, but not owned by Lego anymore.

    I would keep playing Luanti/VoxeLibre and Vintage Story.

        The first is a FOSS recreation of Minecraft, and the second is ‘realistic’ (ie incredible hard and annoying) Minecraft with DRM and costs money

      Hey what’s your opinion on vintage story if I’m coming from Minecraft? Is it comparable to a big modpack or is it just wearing the pelt of Minecraft?

        It was originally a survival focused modpack for minecraft until it morphed into a separate game and it is very good at that.

        I also like the engine better, the fact that you can chisel out blocks allows for really beautiful building and makes creating tools interactive in a simple but fun way.

        Highly recommended!

    Same thing that happened when Microsoft bought it. MONETIZATION.

    They’d hire Bloc Party to be the entertainment at the announcement party.

    Wasn’t that kinda what LEGO Worlds was meant to be?

      Minecraft Worlds got canceled pretty quickly.
