Minecraft's incessant updates that add absolutely nothing to the game need to stop. I'm absolutely sick of terrible additions that add nothing to the game - today with the release of the 1.9 snapshot is a prime example. Shields? Dual-wielding? What is the point? Why are these implemented? The game is slipping into a void of apathy and utter crap. From horses to endermites, customizable worlds to "shulkers," the game is slowly becoming worse and worse, like a poison drip. The ability to add sounds to a texture pack sent the game down a few notches; even creative mode has negatively impacted the game. The "golden age" of Minecraft was late alpha, when the best implementations were present, without any of the noise.
I'm sorry for this rant, but something needs to be done about this. Let's rise up and convince Mojang to revert the game back to its alpha stages.
To start off, you just listed a bunch of additions that negate your statement about them adding nothing. Also, everything you have listed have been some of the best additions. Especially creative mode. And have your forgotten that Minecraft used to be creative mode only? Survival was an addition as well.

Alright, so let's get this clear.
You like Alpha.
You don't like updates that add nothing.
1: You can go back to Alpha.
Simply select it in the launcher.
2: Think about what's being added.
You stated that horses, custom world generation, and resourcepacks with sound are useless.
However, if you had used these features, you would realize that it opens Minecraft to a wider range of players. I like being able to create empty worlds, or ride horses around. I especially love the addition of resourcepacks and sound, as it allows us to make our own experience.
That's what I feel Minecraft is about. Exploring and discovering what we like, and respecting other points of view. Even now, I am not trying to bash your view, rather, I feel that it is a little harsh and does not respect the views of others. So instead of howling for reversion, simply open your launcher and pick the version that you want.

You wanna explain how improving this game's horrendously brain dead and broken combat system adds nothing to the game? Or actually making The End somewhat interesting? Take your damn nostalgia glasses off for once and realize this is the first update in a while where Mojang appears to have a clue about what actually needs to be changed for once.
If not, go back to Alpha and don't complain. You have this handy feature in the launcher that lets you go back to any beta or alpha version, you could have simply done that instead of writing this thread.
To all who are saying "go back and play alpha in the launcher." What am I supposed to do? Play single player, entirely alone, with no mods? Nobody is playing those updates anymore, and most mod support is a thing of the past.
What needs to be done is a permanent revert to alpha, rendering it the default version. Then you can "go back" and play your "better" version with all the useless additions.
To be honest, these are all things that actually made Minecraft better... Shields are completely logical, considering the fact that there are bows and swords, duel-wielding makes the game slightly more realistic, horses are EXTREMELY fun, endermites made beating the game harder, which is great, and new sounds in a texture pack made the game less bland... If you don't like Minecraft, then that is your own opinion.. Stop complaining about it on the forums, because obviously, it's not going to stop changing. Changes are normal... How would real life be without changes? Obviously there are bad things that have been added to the game, but all in all, people learn to love the game how it is.

you say you want mods. Wtf? 1. You can still download old versions of mods. I think. 2. Mods are the same as updates!!! I mean, what mods add that are not useless if creTive mods is useless?!
rendering the alpha the default version? You don't understand a lot of things in business managing and sociality and I won't try to explain. The point is, it's impossible. No matter what you do, it's not. Even if you get 1000000 people sign on something, not gonna happen.
about multiplayer, you can still play with friends in old versions pretty easily. If you don't wanna play with friends go to servers forum and create a thread of looking for alpha server. I don't know if you are gonna find any, and if you don't it's because people don't wanna play alpha. Which means your idea won't solve your issue anyways, because people will just stop playing minecraft.
No, it's because most players "go with the flow." If the game updates, players will too, regardless of what is implemented.
That's because most players can adapt to change, unlike some others.
I'm sorry, but Mojang's not going to revert the game to alpha, that's beyond dumb. Alpha wasn't the holy grail of Minecraft, it was a buggy unfinished mess - an alpha. If you don't like the updates or don't consider downgrading as a solution, you're outta luck. Don't like it? Too bad.
You're literally complaining about every single update Minecraft has had since Alpha.
If Alpha is such a godlike edition of Minecraft, apparently to the point where development should have been abandoned afterward, enable alpha versions in Minecraft's launcher and play them instead. Have fun with your constant crashes, bugs and nonfunctional multiplayer.
You're saying these things should be, when obviously you're in the very, very small vocal minority. Reverting back to alpha would lose Mojang millions.

Also you didn't respond to me 😂😂😂
you are just wrong and that's it. At first it was an opinions but your idea about making the old versions default? That's not an opinion man, that's not knowing the facts.
Minecraftforum's large lot of complainers that add nothing of value to the forums need to stop. I'm absolutely sick of redundant threads that add nothing of importance to the discussion of Minecraft - today with the post by Oceandrop for example. Complaining about a new update? Another one? What is this? Why are there so many of these threads? The forum is slipping into a complaints box.
I'm sorry for this, but I saw the opportunity and took it.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I'm just a Minecraft player that likes to give my opinion. Nothing special to see here.
Unless you have a pirate copy of minecraft, just start the launcher>New Profile>Allow use of Alpha/Beta>Select Verison> Play. That's it. If you have any issue with the new version or whatever they implement, just play in the version and stop complaining.
Minecraft, like many videogames, TV shows and anything, needs to jump the shark.
Jumping the shark is when something is getting old, they do something to refresh it and continue to be successful. A good shark jump can save from getting old and forgotten. That is what mojang is doing with minecraft and all the updates, so every 6-8 month, with new additions to the game, the players can do something new, refreshing their game experience and giving minecraft mor lifetime.
I'm not saying it's not Ok to dislike the new updates, but you cant simply write a post and say "no more updates". It is Mojang's game and they decide what to do with their game. Whenever you have your own game, you can decide what to do with it.
It's not enough that you want to play the original. You want everyone else to go back to that obsolete version, restricting themselves to just one playmode.

I thoroughly disagree.
GENERATION 37: The first time you see this, copy it into your signature
on any forum and add 1 to the generation. This is a Social experiment.
I just took the Minecraft Noob test! Check out what I scored. Think you can beat me?!

MEEAP
Go play an older update if you have a problem.

Hello. I am a noob. Help please? Thanks.
I like the new updates... I've also played from the 1st official release, and liked the game ever scene.
And you could go back and play the beta releases, Pretty sure some servers are still using it
You wanna explain how improving this game's horrendously brain dead and broken combat system adds nothing to the game? Or actually making The End somewhat interesting?

What?
By this logic absolutely no change has a point.
What would you like to see added?

Tl:dr, it's not gonna happen.

They should really have a "complaint" section on these forums
To be serious, just go back to 1.6, it has plenty of mods out there that are compatible with it. (Texxit,Yogbox,Portal Gun, DImensional Doors)
Mewtwo is the best pokemon!
That's because most players can adapt to change, unlike some others.
