What a weird passive aggressive headline. A better default is a good thing, and doesn’t stop modders from doing their own thing.

So long as there's an option to retain the normal experience, especially for those on older hardware that can't run fancier stuff. Then it's all good!

Everything is rage bait nowadays. It's exhausting.

Wait, what makes it passive-aggressive? I didn't interpret the title to sound as anything other than fully positive.

“You don’t need (and therefore shouldn’t want) this obviously good thing” has this connotation that the Minecraft team has been wasting their time on pointless features, when in reality first-party support for a feature is nearly always more stable than a mod.

Plus read the article, the author is a vehement hater of Minecraft. What a joke.
