Good ol’ buttcraft 
I don’t really mean in terms of mods, but like go off if you wanna. I’m a lifelong Minecraft enjoyer, played it basically from Alpha right up to release, and dropped off around 1.2ish. I’ve played it in bursts again over the years, but the more weird stuff they add the more weirded out I feel. I just wanna build houses with sloping rooves, sheesh… It does kind of make me wanna just give up and play Legacy Console on Wii U or something weird.
[Minecraft boomer alert I guess]
I don’t totally hate what they’ve done with the game itself but it’s clear that the launcher is a lost cause. Plus how does Java chug this badly on a Ryzen 2600? I have to choose between a performance mod that makes the game run, or pad support, because one of them uses Fabric and the other uses the other thing. Remember when Minecraft mods was just dumping .jar files into the game’s directory?
I mean to ask, what is the way cool kids play Minecraft nowadays? Are there cool alternative launchers or modpaks or a specific version or whatever I can play that’s cooler than Microsoft Occupied Minecraft and are more fun?

All the cool kids are meeting their soul mates and getting gay married while their parents write angry blog posts about how they weren’t invited to the wedding.
I am already gay married fwiw =)
Wow brag about it much
I play the original aether mod while listening to the yogpod and old paul saurs jr vids and do a little cry. This is the way to play.
yogpod
oh my god
‘sadness and longing for less bad times’ methodMy home life was shit but this era of internet and minecraft is a vibe and level of emotion i will never achieve again. Loading the latest cooptional/tgs/yogpod pod onto my mp3 player and walking to school. Coming home to og tekkit with my friends and my first venture into hosting servers and understanding how networking works.
It’s something I’ll never experience again. Especially total biscuit. Nobhead but i loved him dearly.
Yeah, the “its a rainy night in 2011 and youre playing a modded minecraft server” meme is kinda real.
I use Prism as a launcher, makes seperate instances and installing stuff a breeze.
Also a lot of (popular) mods will have cross modloader versions/ports, like Sodium has the (Neo)Forge ports Embeddium (AFAIK this is currently the best one) and Rubidium, and Controllable has a separate Fabric version in addition to Forge

I feel really dumb now, ty.
https://prismlauncher.org/ this is a good launcher but I’m sure most any will work (except polyMC hard avoid). I don’t really play anymore either tho so idk
To me, the correct way to play Minecraft is with a friend and pursuing silly, enjoyable goals.
Something I had a lot of fun doing is playing as “The Heart Tree” while my partner tried to support me. Essentially, I chose a tree I really liked, cut it down except for its lowest block (now designated “The Heart Block”), and I always would have to be touching or very close to logs which descend from the original tree.
I also had fun playing Modded Skyblock with my friend from high school, focusing on guiding progression and decorating (since I knew how to progress a lot better than he did), but not making too much progress personally.
To me, I intrinsically feel a drive to constantly chase progression, but ultimately find myself more fulfilled when I try and lay back and weave progression with genuine attention and enjoying the “unproductive” things, looking to make nifty floor patterns and building materials and interacting with friends.

I mean to ask, what is the way cool kids play Minecraft nowadays?
idk how the cool kids do it but as a big fucking nerd? i’ve been trying to get into Gregtech: New Horizons which is Minecraft for a very specific subset of autistic masochists who like to spend 18 years doing basic shit. I only really quit because every time I booted it up I could hear my ram chip crying
I think part of my issue is I do not have the correct autism, I never got into redstone or whatever, the weird engineering shit people do in minecraft yeets my brain… I can still remember when it was just about blocks…Fair. idk what type you got but i got the type that like to play factorio and seeing all the big machines go wheeeeee
I have the slightly different autism where I hate gregtech but love most other tech mods, especially applied energistics
oh that’s beyond fair. Gregtech is bizarre and sucks and that’s exactly why I like it. I don’t think I’ve even made it to actual machines, unless you count a windmill multiblock
i’ve been trying to get into Gregtech: New Horizons
i heard it takes 8,000 hours to beat this modpack, good luck
Preferably with telemetry disabled.
Instead of being anonymous/pseudonymous (at least, the ids in the snooper screen don’t match my user id), it now sends the XUID, your Xbox user id, in plain text… which means this data can be traced back to your user.
Death to america
but the more weird stuff they add the more weirded out I feel.
what weird stuff?
Uh I’ll have to go boot up my save to find out specifics, but new weird ores, new weird crafting methods, the entire nether changes since 2012…
Things got a little out of hand with the beastiality update.
I don’t remember a beastiality update
Update 1.7.2
I don’t see it in the patch notes
Look again
Prism launcher with fabric, sodium, lithium and distant horizons
The way to play minecraft is with mods, friends, and at least 2 types of drugs in your system
I mean to ask, what is the way cool kids play Minecraft nowadays? Are there cool alternative launchers or modpaks or a specific version or whatever I can play that’s cooler than Microsoft Occupied Minecraft and are more fun?
I use ATLauncher, it’s broadly fine. Pretty easy to find and install modpacks from various sources. I was playing the Create Astral pack but it kept annoying me into tweaking it until I gave up, so now I’m waiting for the hexbear server to launch.
Pretty sure the 7600K that I have is even worse than the 2600 and it runs fine on my machine. You do have to enable the thing to allow it to use enough ram. This guide seems to cover how to do that in a bunch of different launchers.
Oh it needs to be given more ram? Wild, okay. Ty for ATLauncher.
By default minecraft java is restricted to 4gb of ram for bizarre historical reasons, probably something to do with 32bit nonsense leftovers idk, but if you set it to be able to use a reasonable amount of ram it runs a lot better.
What the fuck, that is so fucked. New Vegas 4GB patcher shit, ty for telling me!
Yeah, it’s one of those weird things you’d only find out by playing too much modded minecraft
Install Cocricot. Make comfy cottagecore cafes and apartments.
Fuck you maybe I will!!!
Make sure you download it from the official site https://cocricot.pics/

I don’t know either. I recently got it on my phone when it was very cheap in play store.
Reject pocket edition, retvrn to java edition
I don’t know what these are. I bought it on phone cause it was very cheap.
