August 2021 < Minecraft

Minecraft has never been a stable game online. This knowledge has come with quite the tenor of running Minecraft servers on and off during the last decade. The default software Mojang provides isn't suitable for a large player base. The ability to produce the changes to bring up the quality is hard. This is where other Forks of the default branches come into play; a Fork is like taking a recipe, for example, a pie. Someone else copies it and starts making changes to the point where it's almost their own pie. Mojang's pie is full of bugs. Bugs do not create a good pie. Therefore the chef's with their Forks work tirelessly to scrape all the bugs out of the pie and replace it with that sweet, sweet Jam. This leaves the servers requiring a long wait time of around a fortnight. All before an update; even then, the bugs keep crawling out of every surface.

New content now! Cry the masses. Does the general public even know what they're asking for? Every update, there is a lul of a month of lag, bugs, unwanted deaths and everyone's favourite -crashes. Crashes bring the community to a crashing halt every time. They're not acceptable when they happen before an update, so why are they suddenly accepting after one? Do we really need to get the new content as soon as it comes? Why not wait for us to experience playing without portal petrification, Elytra electrification or frames fracturing? The bugs in our pie hurt our playing experience and enjoyment of the game. Some people will always want the content straight away; remembering why to wait is essential. Good things come to those who wait.
