What I find interesting is the fact that if you go to earlier versions like Alpha and Beta, it is actually much harder to do stuff, eg much less forgiving worldgen, harder caves, slower movement, lack of automation, and worse gear, which progressively gets easier until 1.13 or so when time investment spikes, but the difficulty stays the same.
Nah, seems to be a different meaning, and I think it probably has to do with dot files as other comments have mentioned. Also rice burner and other terms seems to have been used directly in conjunction with Asians, to insult products made by them or the people themselves. As Unix is not really a Asian product so to speak, I doubt they're related too much, and if so only tangentially.
Not really, from my experience its very easy to share files to apps within shelter, and there are configurable options to make it easier or harder as you prefer.
I would agree with you, but maine has had basically non-stop rain for the past two-three months. Hell in order to start the bonfire in the first place it required 10 people blowtorching it for like 10 mins, and in addition to everything being wet, its on a small sandbar like island.
I would say that early alpha and beta was quite difficult, and was significantly harder than modern Minecraft.
