Whether you've heard of it before or not, welcome. You will eventually love this game over MC (mainly because the devs actually care, and uphold their promises).
Vintage story is one of the best, if not the best survival games I've ever played.
The best part about vintage story, is that it's not even finished. Meaning that despite what it lacks compared to MC (minecarts, 'redstone', bosses, etc...) it makes up in community, developer trust, and superior gameplay.
Vintage Story will one day be in all fronts superior to MC, and that in itself is one of the best feelings ever.
