My friends’ 13 year daughter thought it was so weird I never encountered the Ender Dragon or any real enemies in Minecraft. I never play on anything harder than peaceful. Because after working all day, I just want to explore a randomly generated world and create stuff sometimes.

I had more or less gotten over the game when the ender dragon was added. It was too grindy and slow and I felt like I could never get far enough to even approach the end. Then I joined a server where they had a bunch of infrastructure already set up. Suddenly I had access to enchantments and elytra and the game became super accessible, and I discovered just how much faster and more fun the game is now with all the incremental improvements. It’s given me something to play with my kids.
