A number of Minecraft fans have come together on Reddit in order to discuss which aspects of the game they would like to see removed.
Minecraft is an incredibly popular title with a still-active fan base. The game released over a decade ago, yet it is still being supported and played to this day. Minecraft has maintained its popularity, and it does not look like it will slow down any time soon, especially as the title continues to see new content such as Minecraft's Minions DLC.
Despite being so well loved, there are aspects of Minecraft that some players would like to see gone. There are things in the game that upset fans and serve as major inconveniences to their experience with the title. Minecraft may have a lot of features loved by those who play it, but there are still things that could be adjusted.
On Reddit, a user known as pencilchatwastaken posted the question of what gamers would love to see removed from Minecraft. One of the main things that fans would like to see changed is the reporting system in Minecraft that Mojang has received backlash for. Many players dislike the fact that they can be banned for using words that are deemed inappropriate in private servers, as well as paid realms. Another feature that fans want altered is the level cap on anvils, which prevents players from being able to permanently keep an item as they can no longer repair it when the cost gets too high. The third major aspect that gamers want to see changed or removed are Phantoms. The mob is considered to be a major annoyance by many and is one of the top components of the game that players want to see disappear.
There were also a few smaller grievances brought up by Redditors. This included poisonous potatoes and the game's Marketplace. One user mentioned the bat mobs, as they feel they're only good for triggering Shriekers. Another said silverfish, which once again was due to the mob being annoying. The post showed that there are a number of major issues with aspects of Minecraft that many would like to see changed in order to help improve their experience.
Despite the things that many players would like to see changed in Minecraft, there are some that are tackling amazing ongoing projects. A YouTuber known as Minthical recently streamed themselves playing the game, showing off the progress they've made in attempting to completely mine a Minecraft map and strip it down to bedrock level. The player has been at it for five years now and hopes to complete their task by September. It is estimated that 47 million blocks need to be mined in order to completely clear out a map, and last December, the YouTuber had mined around 38 million blocks. It is a monumental task and very impressive that Minthical has already come this far.

From the General's Desk...
After reviewing the features that some Minecraft players had stated they would like to have removed from the game, it is my opinion that to do so would in fact diminish survival play. I am a Minecraft player that believes the more challenging the better. I am a true survival player. To take things away to make things easier or less annoying just doesn't cut it for me.
Regarding the new reporting system.... As a father of seven, I am a big supporter of this. I feel there are no guarantees that my children would be prevented from joining private servers or Realms that contain language or content I do not approve of.
As far as the repair cap is concerned, if this were removed, two things would be lost: The need to achieve/find a mending enchantment, and the opportunity to proudly display our very used and worth tool or weapon on an armor stand or item frame, like a trophy. If we are not forced to still find some good use for these items due to our inability to repair them further on an anvil, then we would either dump them in a pool of lava or hide them away in a chest pointlessly for eternity.
Phantoms, Phantoms, Phantoms. If you want them to go away, sleep... Done.
Ew! What is that horrible smell?! Oh... Some of my potatoes have rotten and now have become poisonous. This may not be such a rotten thing after all. What better way to troll my friends by serving up some of these festering goodies....
Ok, now to say you want to take away the Minecraft Marketplace....you have gone too far. There has been so much wonderful and amazing creations and collaborations that have come forth because of the Marketplace. New ideas, inventions, creativity abounds endlessly. It is my opinion that without the Marketplace, Minecraft just wouldn't be half the game anymore.
What do you think? Do you agree with my assessments or not? leave your comments about why or why not and perhaps share some of your own ideas on what you would like to see eliminated from Minecraft.
