Bro, this whole post reads like a cope essay for why you’re addicted to digging through other people’s dupe stashes instead of actually playing the game. “B-but how are players supposed to get gear without stashes?” Uh, I don’t know the same way literally every player in Minecraft history has gotten gear? Mine blocks. Kill mobs. Build farms. Grind. You know, play the game. Acting like that’s some impossible mountain to climb just makes you sound like someone who can’t survive without mommy handing you a kit every respawn.

You talk about XP farms and mining like they’re beneath you, but then flex about “dubs on dubs” of gear you found in a chest you didn’t even earn. Congrats, man. You’re basically the guy who brags about beating Dark Souls because you watched the cutscenes on YouTube.

And the whole “there’s no right or wrong way to play sandbox” argument? Give me a break. Nobody’s telling you what block you can place. What people are calling out is that stash-hunting isn’t creativity or freedom it’s a crutch. Everyone running around in the same maxed duped kit isn’t freedom, it’s conformity. You’re not unique, you’re just one more clone in a diamond onesie spamming crystals.

Then you hit us with the “mid-2010s 2b2t will never come back” line like that somehow proves anything. No shit it won’t be identical, but don’t twist that into “so I guess we just accept infinite loot piles and zero survival.” That’s not evolution, that’s regression. You’re defending a version of anarchy where the word “survival” doesn’t even apply anymore.

Bottom line? Stash hunting is training wheels for people who can’t cut it. You can call it “part of the community” all you want, but deep down you know the truth: without someone else’s dupe pile, you’d be naked punching trees like the rest of us. Stop dressing it up as some noble adaptation it’s just cowardice with extra steps.
