Why does Minecraft have to look like a game for the Commodore 64?

967 views

I love the concept of Minecraft and that it promotes imagination instead of being a FPS. But what the hell is with its resolution and pixelation? I am sure today’s computers can handle better graphics, so why does it have to look like a game from the 90s?

It’s like asking why Picasso drew weird faces. It was an aesthetic choice. It’s also part of the message the art is delivering.

If Minecraft had beautiful, high fidelity textures, it wouldn’t be Minecraft. Other have pointed out mods you can install, but even the ability to add a mod you could argue goes back to the original pathos of the game.
