Anyone else come back recently after very long break and feels like a whole new game?

I mean this in a good way, but has anyone else come back to the ranks of the builders, rejoined the clan of creatives, embraced the life of the crafterr I mean; started playing minecraft recently after a few years hiatus? Because DAMN, I never thought they'd take it this far. My friends know things that I never thought would exist in the game but with foresight I should have known they'd only expand, they had to give looting and exploring more purpose and definitely should've expected all the new realms/bosses after seeing the nether for the very first time, I should've known how far they would take this game and I love it so much all over again because it feels like a brand new game again like when I was NOOB.

Yes, i have the same. I still play only Siege R6, PUBG and few times lol per week.

It's so weird but I think it's cool because I get to explore all of the new features!

I played when the game first came out, and after seeing videos of it now, I am not wanting to return.

Yep, it feels absolutely like an another game , still didnt understand some of new mechanics

Funny you should say this, as Minecraft is actually back on top and ahead of Fortnite in terms of popularity. More people are playing Minecraft than Fortnite and I'm presuming it's due to the completely different feel it now has compared to when people first got the game.

Minecraft is more popular than Fortnite again, but has the bubble burst?

Well, yeah. They made a lot of new things and the base feel is still the same but it's definitely not the same experience as 1.8

Yes, they added a lot of new things and a lot of new mechanics
