gollark: Quite a lot of the time if someone *tells* you "you are stupid, I am much better at this" they're just being a triskaidecagon.

gollark: Also, half of it gets reworked every version.

gollark: They tend to use crazily outdated OpenGL stuff, invented NBT instead of using an actual standard like, say, CBOR, and massively inefficient programming (it allocates hundreds of megabytes of RAM a second apparently).

gollark: Minecraft is just so bizarrely designed from a technical perspective.

gollark: Except disk space, where it's mostly outclassed by newer, even worse-designed games.
