What I Wanted To See From 'Minecraft 2' by Notch

In today's video I talk about what I'd like to see from "Minecraft 2" as Notch recently announced a spiritual successor to the game.

This video is only my opinion and I would love to have a discussion with you guys in the comments. Let me know what you'd like to see, whether you agree or disagree, and what else.

Thanks so much for watching!

I think it's important to note that "Minecraft 2" was never said that it's to be made, but that a similar successor would be coming if there was enough demand. This is not "Minecraft 2" but more like a similar style game made by the original creator.

I’m am aware that project was cancelled, unlucky

I have never understood how people don't like the hunger system, the old one was so primitive and basic, and the new one makes so much sense and is a fun mechanic. I'm not even sure if farming or food would have much of a point if it went back to the old ways.

Hello Moonglow, you won’t recognise me as this is a new account but you are the reason for it. I love your videos so much man, they literally made me start doing them myself. I’ve really missed sitting down and listening to you talk and build such amazing things. It’s always hard for small YouTubers but you’ve got lots of people like me who are always gonna stick with you so please keep on going man.

16:18 I disagree because I think adding a lore to the game can support exploration pretty well. You do not just explore land, mobs and items, you also explore the lore behind the game slowly. If it is done correctly, adding a lore is a good way to support exploration in the game. (Maybe not creativity, because there is no theories.)

17:45 If you think villagers should not be in the game at all because they are not useful, I disagree again because they are so fricking useful that you can buy FULL ENCHANTED DIAMOND ARMOR from them.

20:05 WAIT WHA-

14:13 Instead of using cards to get abilities, using XP to maybe become faster, or stronger, can be good. But I think we do not need a system like that at all. Because it does not feel vanilla friendly to me. I think we need to stay in the vanilla style of the first game here.

I could not find the timeline to this but stuff like cameras come way to unminecrafty to me. I think taking screenshots and somehow placing that screenshots to maps are a lot more vanilla friendly

What would make Minecraft 2 stand out? Planets.
That would make the difference. Not an infinite world, but an infinite universe. And it'd actually be relatively similar to Minecraft already, just large finite worlds in an infinite universe.

MY MAIN MAN IS BACK! until the next upload maybe 6 months later haha

Your first suggestion being "get rid of the hunger system" really goes to show how unnecessary a "Minecraft 2" would be. Minecraft is so easy to mod that it's difficult to think of useful features that wouldn't be feasible without rebuilding the entire engine. To succeed, "Minecraft 2" would have to offer features that even the best modpacks are incapable of delivering. All these suggestions taken together would make a very interesting "Classic+" style modpack, but nothing here is outside the scope of what modders already do with the game.

Its quite interesting how your opions on things are much different from mine, but we seem to have totally different visions for the game. For example when you wish for smaller biomes im thinking the current ones are not large enough, because i hate when im in a biome and i can see 3 different ones on the horizon because its kills the immersion for me.
I think either mojang or notch with minecraft 2 could add many more options when it comes to terrain generation right from the getgo without complicated datapacks.

Have you heard of Cosmic Reach? It is a space-themed Minecraft clone but it's kind of good in my opinion.

Some people don't understand that a new Minecraft is not going to be the Minecraft people remember, so they'll play it and then remember why they still play Minecraft instead.

i think that the custom things (paintings, music, etc) would be a good edition, as would improving fantasy-feel of the game. i feel like he would definitely go down the fantasy route anyways. what im concerned about is that people are very simply expecting minecraft 2, just basically the exact same block game, when i really dont think its going to be like minecraft. i am certain that there is a target audience for the new game, but i think its going to be mostly populated by the original players of minecraft that arrived before the story of minecraft was added and consider all the updates since to have ruined the game more and more, making them believe minecraft 2 will finally be going back to its roots. and im sure it will. but im also sure those older players are going to soon realise that minecraft changing wasnt the problem, and that they simply got older. but then again, i only started playing in 1.8

I can really agree with the idea that if there were to be a "minecraft 2" it would work best if it built off of what made the game so great back in Beta. The liminal horror and wonder is gone from the modern game, and I think something that brought that back would be great. It doesn't need to be an alternate version of the game, or even a product of such grandeur, but a continuation of that old vision.

If you'd like to bring back the old rendering and maybe even some old gameplay elements to the current game, I recommend the Nostalgic Tweaks mod. It's highly configurable and non destructive. It replicates the way the game used to look perfectly

Hi, long time no see! I'm a little torn on the idea of Minecraft 2. Do I think that current Minecraft is perfect? No. But, there are still many aspects of it that I enjoy. Particularly the wide block choice. I enjoy the hundreds of building blocks that can each be used in different ways. It makes it so that beginners and people who aren't particularly good at building have an easier chance getting off the ground. That's just me though, for all I know Minecraft 2 could be something amazing. Only time will tell. I enjoyed the video and hope to see you again soon!

[Bodoko]

ima still watch it even though he basically said he isn’t making it anymore

[ZeeSips]

flying makes you focus on the destination, and you end up forgetting the journey? I dunno why I'm watching this video even though I've played minecraft like 5 times and the last time were probably 9 years ago lol. Hearing about how games change through the years is fun though

[Tdubble]

He's back! I checked back in on you channel recently and was sad when there was no new video, and now, this video :)

[Understandableincompetence]

Sounds like you’re searching for nostalgia, possibly the simpler times.

[zentoa]

I want to see how Notch envisioned Minecraft if he had had the decade and so amount of development time

[existsthefoox]

moonglow comeback, season 2, the second arc, the character development will be insane

[Understandableincompetence]

I’m just thinking real world Minecraft. things don’t need to be cubes real trees, real animals, your own little world where you can make or have anything you can imagine.
