Well I ended up trying it out for a bit and it's a lot of fun especially with all the mods. Those creepers for some reason still surprise me unlike any other mob in gaming ever.

For me a dm all my friends (19-20 year olds), it was when that Minecraft streamer died in his 5 year long hardcore series. Brought us all back to the nostalgia of having old worlds and building communities. So much fun to do that again.

I love how they conveniently leave out the LGBT and more importantly the autistic community who caused a surge in popularity a couple months before pewds played it
