So, like many others, I have felt Minecraft has gone steadily downhill after the so-called Adventure Update. The pretty scary update sorta helped with the Wither, but.... This is not a rant, okay? The main reason I dislike the new updates is because everything is so easy to get. Health (hunger bar), mobs are easy to get away from, everything is farmable now, etc...
Anyway, so I decided to give 1.7.3 a second life. I downgraded with MCNostalgia, put back the old sounds, and played for a few minutes. But I quickly lost sight of a goal. It seems playing post-1.8 for a year has made me forget any past goals I used to have and I seriously need one. Antvenom's hunt for the golden apple is a great one, but I don't exactly want to copy it. Kurtjmac's farlands or bust... Well, I frankly do not have the attention span to play for 800 hours.
Any goals you guys may have that doesn't require seriously intensive gameplay for beta 1.7.3? Please, no hate for complaining about the new updates, I am not complaining, I am just asking for some help for a goal. All help is appreciated.
Some people really need to stay away from the government propaganda department. Let the brain-washing machines have a day off, they must need maintenance by now.
You could not waste your time on a severely outdated version
Why not? It was pretty fun. Twenty minutes with marvelous terrain and actually semi-difficult gameplay? Not sure where you can defend the later versions from. Apart from things like redstone lamps and such, I guess.

Why don't you try to recreate the experience?
Play like you did at that time.
I.E. When I played 1.7.3 again, I just dug a hole in a mountainside and create a bunch of random tunnels, just like I used to do.
That's the problem. If I were to play like I did two years ago, I'd be shrieking at every mob running around in my cobblestone huts.

Yeah, but the lack of smooth lighting and general features prevents me. One crucial feature is pistons. They are almost required for me.

god i loved 1.7.3 1 goal i can think of would be to make like a big cathedral, something that was atctually amazing to see before creatve, now its just " you built a giant as hell temple, oh sweet... ya"also if someone would make a 1.7.3 server id be glad to join them
Wow. People who purposefully downgrade their Minecraft for any reason other than mods is a lunatic, in my opinion. The main thing changed, that leaves no choice, from 1.7.3 onwards, is the terrain generator. Everything else is an addition, and you can choose to not use those additions. Btw, I'm fairly certain you wanted to spark a debate with your title, and aren't just after goals.
Oh the gargamel seed. I loved it for those mountains.

Be an explorer to look for awesome looking landscapes you can't find in the current version and rub it in to all of the faces of the people who play the current version.
This thread has inspired me to start a 1.7.3 server for those who've downgraded. It is currently vanilla (I might make it bukkit soon, to prevent griefers and xrayers (If I do download bukkit, there won't be any major gamechanging or gamebreaking plugins)). It is running the gargamel seed. Unfortunately, due to error message: "Failed to login:<Html>", I had to make it a cracked server (I think it has to do with migrating your Minecraft account to a Mojang account, but I could be wrong.) IP is 199.241.140.87:25565. (I don't mean for this to be taken as server spamming or anything, I just want to play some 1.7.3 multiplayer, but I can't find any other servers that are 1.7.3)
I'm glad to see there's finally some people who share my point of view on minecraft being too easy. 1.7.3 was where the difficulty was. Hunger bar, nerfing mobs, and buffing armor, as well as making gold and iron farmable, as well as villager trading, has made minecraft too easy.

I am ninja'd far too often.

Edit clarification : This is not a hate post against 1.7.3 purists. I genuiely want to see some of these awesome landscapes.
Here is a quick one. A nice canyon-type area with a good forest in the distance. This was found in like 4 minutes of playing.

You're not complaining, just listing reasons why you hate current versions, then downgrading, and compla-listing reasons why you hate that too.

A religion based on Minecraft?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore..
It will be glorious and victorious.
