> A thread from former Hytale dev Sphax, who worked on the game "during its early-development days," seems to detail some of those promising features, including: blocks that could stream video in-game, real-time block painting, submerged blocks "way before Minecraft," and playable "mini-games on a single block."
Sounds like feature creep was there from the start? Streaming video in game is certainly the last thing I'd expect from an RPG-like Minecraft game.
For the Minecraft RPG experience I personally go to wynncraft, very well thought-out server.
