Is Minecraft dying or thriving?

i really like minecraft but it's sadly dying , but for me it will stay #1 for me , the number of the players will decrease but it wion't die like boom beach , cross fire , etc , but i think that it's just couple of years and it will be just a game that you play to remember the good days when you was playing it , it will be like AOE2 ,red alert , IGI , mario , etc
