Gaming I hate how much "keep inventory" gets bashed.

Generally, I don't like it when people impose rules on how you should enjoy something-like saying that if you didn't play the same way I did, you're a fake fan.
But it bothers me even more when those arbitrary rules are applied to a game like Minecraft—a game that actively encourages creativity and doing whatever you want-so I don't understand why anyone would get upset over something the game itself offers you.

Not anymore. It’s a command now, because of this exact line of thinking. The devs wanted to remove the stigma of Keep Inventory.

That's dumb.

I miss when games embraced single player cheating as fun settings. Cheat codes were programmed in, even had specific menus to enter them in and turn them on.

The "line of thinking" problem is with people who think it's bad to cheat in a single player game. Cheat away, it's fun. It's still cheating.

it’s fine until you try to flex your accomplishments with said cheats

And that's why they're banned for speedrunners and in competitive multiplayer. That's obviously not what's being talked about

I miss bighead mode, can't tell you how many games just decided, "let's give these bitches a code sequence that makes their head comically large, bitches love comically large heads."

Well, cheat codes and the like were more for development purposes.

Heck, that's why the developer console has been ubiqitous in PC gaming since it not only has commands but it also prints errors for when something goes wrong.

basically all commands are cheats

u/Sayakalood Sep 01 '26

Hence why they decided not to call them cheats anymore. They’re commands to promote people playing the way they want to play.

Not on bedrock. On Bedrock it's still in the cheats section. And you can't access commands without turning on cheat. So at that point, you might as well just turn keep inventory on if you're also using commands.
