Let's be honest, Minecraft Dungeons was way more of a legend than Minecraft Legends ever was

[iBridgee]

Mojang: creates awesome game
Also Mojang: ghosts the entire player base

My favorite thing about Minecraft dungeons is the bug where a black box pops up on your screen and then it just perpetually loads. And the message on the bug tracker that says "We won't be fixing it, figure out how to fix the issue yourself" is the cherry on top.

Minecraft dungeons if they added mod📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

[fertileplanet]

Honestly, the Heart of Ender would make a great third boss for Minecraft. They should slowly start incorporating content from the spinoffs into the main game (outside of mob vote)

Me and my dad would play this during covid. We would stay up all night grinding for new weapons, and we beat every dlc very quickly. It's sad to see how quickly the game died

[lasercraft]

I miss the days when a game could come out, be played, MAYBE get DLC eventually, and then be done. Now suddenly if they stop being updated they're just dead and its treated as some horrible thing. If people _enjoyed the game_ then replaying it every once and a while should be enough.

But nooo they had to add a battlepass. :/

[pacboy]

I still play Dungeons to this day, and it hurts knowing that there will never be updates that add Mangrove Swamps, the Deep Dark, and Cherry Groves

Glad I was helpful!
Minecraft Dungeons was a very fun game. It had its weird quirks and that's what made it fun. There's no denying that it would've been something much greater had it received more updates, but sadly there are many things that come into play, such as time constraints and development costs. Nobody should blame the developers for not extending the game's lifespan any further than they already have, as that was not planned at all and they've already tried. From their perspective, it was complete, and that is completely understandable. I'll forever be sad about what it could've been though lol, because I genuinely think the game had a lot of potential.
-Also I'll never understand why they took 8 months to announce the discontinuation of the game-

Accurate and well made video, that pretty much sums it up!
It's a real shame that with all the potential it had, it was abandoned like this...

[anthonypena]

It was story based. All stories come to an end

[TheCounterspell]

I’ve never played dungeons but maybe a good idea would be player-made community levels, short challenges that people could make and share for free.

Minceraft's dungeons might be dead... But the ost will *always* live on. Imo I think Minecraft dungeon's OST is easily better than minecraft's current (modern day OSTS) if you loved C418 or IDM or you're simply an Ambient music enjoyer in general I think every album is worth giving it a listen.

The ost for a lot of the osts reminds me of retro Minecraft a lot, the themes make every single DLC/level feel *unique.

Howling peaks makes use of the shepherd's tone, which is an audio illusion that creates an "ascending/descending" effect.

Flames of the nether has savage almost tribal drums throughout the ost, or alien howling ambience.

Echoing void is downright ALIEN unfamiliar, experimental, grating and uncomfortable to listen to, which in a funny way immerses you further as you explore the strange world of the end.

Please give *all* of the OSTS a listen if you can, Peterhont is the absolute GOAT I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

This game reached it's natural cycle of development, and besides a few bugs there wasn't much they could have added tbh.
I've played this game since launch and absolutely love it, and I still understand why they stopped updating it.
Also, the game didn't really die, its growth just slowed.
It had 10M players in 2022 and 23M when it was discontinued in 2023 if you need proof

[Cottonthefox]

heck, minecraft story mode and dungeons are both better then legends ever would of been

[Allligator_Loki]

Minecraft dungeons lasted 3 years, That's more than Minecraft Legends lasted 😂😂😂

[big_axolotl_]

I loved Minecraft Dungeons so much. I really hope they bring in a bunch of stuff from it to regular Minecraft.

You people really need to stop using words like "abandoned". Not every game is meant to be a continuous dripfeed of content. Why people have normalised this practice is beyond me. You can't even blame developers for enabling it because they serve supply and demand. A game can have multiple updates and years of support, and people feel like they're entitled to more and that the game should keep growing. It's not healthy. Games used to be one and done, and majority of them still are, and that's totally OK. It's not a big deal. Those commenters at the end are honestly ridiculous and read as though they don't understand a thing about game dev or even creative passions, for that matter.


On this matter, your content constantly exaggerates trivial things for clicks. Don't get me wrong, you make well-produced content with good script, research, narration and editing, absolutely. But it's kinda irritating to see videos make a big deal out of inconsequential things like a game not receiving more updates lol. The great "untold truth" is literally that they stopped working on it. Current title makes this video come off as unnecessary bloat content. Calling this video an analysis might be a better representation of the subject matter and video content. I do want to be constructive and not just mindless, but the way you present your content (and I suppose the way you're FORCED to present your content) just isn't for me.

[Husky_Ranger]

Me and my friends always like to play dungeons, we usually take a few months brake and then play actively for a bit sad to see it stop updating

[justsomejerseydevilwithint]

"Lets hypermonetize and not update the game hardly at all"
"Why don't they like the game?"
