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

960 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?

Answer: That’s an aesthetic choice. It doesn’t look the way it does because of technical limitations. There are many other successful modern games that went for that retro/pixelated look, and Minecraft isn’t alone in that (Terraria, Enter The Gungeon, Celeste, Shovel Knight, etc). And I am just writing more than one sentence because this sub requires me to do so. But yeah, there’s not much more to say about it.
