1 no, they have added too much things which makes it feel modded
2 alot like it used to pre 1.10 and such with just bug fixes
3 I thought MC would die soon after, but it came back 10 years later!
4 yes, I do not like 1.16 and how it looks with all the new mobs and them removing zombie pigman, but ill still play it a little bit but ill always go back to 1.8
