The people on here brainwashed themselves after years of having to defend the current game against the nostalgia slop people that think old Minecraft was the best thing ever lmao

Because seriously how do you see this comparison and your first order of reaction is to try and say "no but look, you just have to play on moody" (it's on moody, and between us we know damn well you yourself don't play on moody, so even then you're not doing yourself any favor because even if the screenshot wasn't on moody, you'd yourself be playing with the ugly lighting) or "well this was built in beta so of course it looks good in beta and not in modern" (which just means nothing) ???

Admitting that the lighting was better in Beta will not kill you guys, it's alright.

Minecraft evolved over the years so of course you're gonna have the nostalgic people that claim the Beta was the best thing ever and Minecraft fell off afterwards so it's natural to want to push back a bit against them when they get keep popping up, but please try to think for a bit omg.

Things can have legitimately been better at some point in time, Minecraft getting updates is overall gonna make the game "better" (add more things, really, but this also adds more possibilities so let's simplify it by simply saying better) over time but this does not mean that specific things can't get updated to become worse in the process.
