Similar question: is Minecraft still as lego-like as it was back in the beta days with a small-ish number of unit cube blocks, or has it evolved past that into multitudes of specialised blocks and items?

It's an immensely different and more complex game than 5+ years ago (for the better imo), but the base experience is extremely similar.

If you don't like the new changes, they have pretty much every version ever released available to download and play in the launcher.

Perhaps you’ve not used Lego recently? Nowdays there’s multitudes of specialized bricks and items items. Way too many for me to keep organized. :)

It's definitely the latter, but mostly by aesthetic variation not functionality. For example, the original 1.0 version had 4 types of wood - now the game has 10 types - but they still all work the same way. This expands to anything made out of wood.
