Here's my opinion: Minecraft for 3ds is not the worst minecraft version, but the 3ds is the (technically) worst device to run minecraft.

The difference is: the terraria 3ds version has unique content, and a lot, it adds new bosses, weapons, armors, enemies, pets, accesories, etc. To the point where there's a mod called "consolaria" that re-adds all of the 3ds version content and even reworks some of it

Not even just the mobile version, since the current mobile version is the exact same as the current PC version, but a very VERY old mobile version, one that's equivalent to 1.2.1 of the PC version, which came out in **2013** . So it's officially a whole decade out of date, lol.

The c stick on the 3ds is so incredibly bad. It’s better than nothing, it should’ve been on the original 3ds model, but it’s so weird that it doesn’t move at all and using it for a long time is super uncomfortable. The one upside is that I don’t think it’s as likely to drift as a circle pad.
5:30 The Pocket Edition version it was based on actually had infinite worlds, I think the world size has to do something with the save data size, I don’t think the save data it’s allowed to be infinite so that’s why there’s a limit

The 3ds modding community is great, recently someone found out how to raise the render distance without affecting performance, there's kinda shaders, texture packs, and someone is working on adding 3d to the game, iirc, it's pretty cool! Just checked, and apparently there was drama with the guy who raised the render distance being an asshole.

My friend's daughter had this for her 3DS and she played it a lot. I remember helping her do some technical things and changing settings. She had 406 hours on it in 2019. She said that she would play it until it got too laggy and would just start again. She did beat the Ender Dragon a few times as well. She probably played it way more as all she had was that, and Pokemon Omega Ruby. I think she had a few other games but nothing that would've kept her as occupied as Minecraft or Pokemon.
Honestly its pretty nuts they even got a fairly recent version of Minecraft running on the 3DS. This and Xenoblade 3D are probably the two most impressive games on the console.

same! I also just love the 3ds. It fits nicely in my hands and the controls are fluid. I swear there were two circle pads though?
The lack of mobs is also most likely due to an old issue in Bedrock Edition/Pocket Edition (That was only recently fixed) that caused mobs to not properly despawn when in water (Or something like that) which caused the mob cap to be stuck, and less mobs to spawn
Loved the video! You can really tell how much love and passion you've put into making this. And genuinely worthwhile watching! I can't wait to go check out your other content, and give 3ds Minecraft a shot myself
This channel's going places. What a comfy and informative video!
I really like this vibe from you as a creator, the overall self-aware quirkiness. And there was something about the Captain Toad story and the png at 10:45, and then the Rayman 3 and Luigi's Mansion music that made me hit the subscribe button. I could somehow relate to you in every aspect of the video and I really enjoyed it.

it's so refreshing to see this video and channel in KZread these days
(3:00) A normal joystick as varied speed depending on how far you push the stick. I can only assume you always push the stick the full way. But if you increase the "sensitivity" (the max speed) of the stick, and don't push it fully, you get more use out of it. The further you push it, the faster you can look around.
@fenn_fren
3 ай бұрын
Yeah. As a PC nerd I had this same problem, always push the stick in completely. Once I got used to it being a dynamic input, I bumped the sensitivity to max and only went as fast as I needed. To me, it still feels really clunky compared to a mouse, but it felt much better after this adjustment.
Since I didn't own my own phone or a Switch for a while this was my main version of Minecraft for like a year or two, I personally loved it (part of that was cause I had a "modded" New Nintendo 2DS which was literally just the C-Stick replaced with a PSP one) Now that I have a Steam Deck that can run Java with mods I obviously don't play it regularly anymore but I still like to go back to it at least a few times a year.
I really like your editing style & humor. I appreciate the life it brings to your videos. The constant jumps from real life to gameplay, to the little skits in-between, it's just fun- all while still being comprehensive, new sub.

In pe, I loved building bases up against the world edge so I could see if it was day or night without needing to peek out and potentially get killed. I didn't know about beds or glass at the time... Also I liked the nether reactor core. And the limited world size means sometimes there's no access to basic things like water.

The best compliment I can give is that I clicked on this video in my recommended, and figured probably 100k+ views upon watching. It’s only upon going to like it that I see it has less than a thousand. I don’t suspect that will stay the case for long. Subscribed.
This is the version I play. Seriously. Years ago I used to pour hours into the OG version on PC, eventually I stopped playing, and then eventually I (for various reasons) ended up with basically no gaming device other than on my 3DS. When the eshop was closing I found myself looking at this port, and the novelty of the control scheme and being able to fully utilise the abilities of the New 3DS’ hardware ended up moving me to actually get it. And you know what? It’s fine. Good, even- the only thing that’s unbearable is trying to play in rain at night (view distance is reduced in the rain. Night makes it harder to see. Rain makes it harder to see. Lag make it all feel even more restricting… *shudder*). My main complaint is that I miss being able to load up mods and select specific versions of Minecraft, but even if I did have a laptop to play the Java version I doubt I’d use it much. These days Minecraft is one of the games I choose when I just want to chill on the settee, I don’t want to sit at a desk playing it…I guess if I ever go back to the Java version it’ll have to be on a steam deck or something. Oh, and the ‘mario worlds’ gimmick sucks. PS Vita got way cooler gimmicks >:o Anyway, great video! Very well put together and explained, and a pretty balanced opinion. The skits were fun, too, I imagine your channel will grow fairly rapidly
This is a really lovely video! You're very funny. Best wishes for your channel in the future!
loved your style! made me laugh, and this is a topic right up my alley! excited to see what other videos you have or will make :)
your editing is fucking gold dude Like at the beginning, you could have just closed your eye, for that 3d segment, instead you stuck a card in your glasses and the song makes that part even better, like that takes some time to set up. Those segments add a ton to the video, along with those adorable transition cards. And making captain Toad a reoccuring part of the video is super creative as well. I mean how do you even think of that lol I could never see myself doing something like moving tables for a video, especially not one on such a niche game and this effort really makes for some amazing entertainment. I was only mildly interested in the topic of this video, but the execution made it super worth it to watch!
It was a nice time playing this port. It was nice revisiting older versions on my favourite handheld. The controls were managable for me second 1. Glad I got a New 3ds so i can play this port
you have such a charming yet engaging style of editing i love this
This video is so good bru when i saw the little pop up to subscribe that said u had 5k views blew my mind. The effort is incredible
I remember being in high school and a kid I know was playing the 3ds minecraft. I was so confused cause I'd never knew that it existed. I didn't know it was so recent in terms of a 3ds game, wow.
i feel the same way about this as i do the 3DS port of terraria, even though as a kid i did have access to a pc that could happily play those games, there was just something exciting about it being on the DS, (and ofc lets not forget multiplayer, local multiplayer on the ds is some of the most fun i've had gaming to this day)
Your editing is really well done!

Wonderfully made and funny video, was surprised to see your subscriber count! Your channel is sure to grow :D
I’ve had worse Minecraft experiences. I say that, because I actually beat this game! I actually legit managed to get enough Ender Pearls for the End portal with some patience (it took me up to 3 days?). But yeah, the final boss was too bothersome, because of the 3DS’s limits. …So I SORT OF cheated - I set the difficulty to peaceful, so the Endermen were gone, but the dragon still remained! I actually had more fun with the fight through this adjustment AND it was still somewhat tricky, but not in a tedious way. I’ll prefer more powerful versions, but 3DS has the honour of being the first version of Minecraft I beat. ❤
I always had a soft spot for this version. I think my favorite thing about this version is that due to the poor screen resolution, the stars at night twinkle, which I feel looks much nicer than any other version. The only things I dislike about it are that the sides of clouds have buggy textures, the void does not have a flat plane of collision like in any other version, and the fog is a flat wall instead of a sphere so in a way it’s the creepiest version of the game
Subscribed as soon as you started singing. Bravo, I love this energy.
This was such a good and fun video, definitely subscribing, you deserve many more
i played through the entire game when i was away from home, it certainly was a challenge at some points (especially the ender dragon fight) but i say that it was overall a fun experience, being honest, it probably is one of the worst ways to play minecraft officially but i still got good fun out of it, so i wouldnt say its necessarily bad
