Heh i wonder if we ever get Minecraft 2.0, i get a good chuckle how it just barely runs on consoles and ultrapowerful PCs yet looks so "basic"

Myself and my son absolutely love it and spend months in this pandemic deep in minecraft worlds

That’s mostly a product of Minecraft’s technical choices. Modern computers can render axis aligned voxel grids on the order of 1,000,000^3 (think Minecraft scale but the blocks are sub millimeter) with PBR/GI in real time. Interactive would be another story I suppose.
