It's a great game, both on its own and as a platform for mods. I don't begrudge it its popularity one bit.
I'm indifferent in regards to the community.
And that's because despite it being so big it's massively fractured. You have to go looking to find its community.
There's the youtube community, which is itself split by the thousands of different youtubers. They can be volatile, but that's the norm on YouTube. And not only do you have to search for the videos, you then have to read the comments to see that community, so they're easily ignorable.
Then you have the forum community which is massive. You may have a bad time there just given the sheer number of people, but you do have to choose to visit the forum, and unlike ours you will also find mods off the forum so you aren't compelled to visit.
Then there's the sub-communities of different mods and servers, often on their own websites, so you can go years with never encountering them.
Really the community is not an issue at all because you are never required to meet them.
Unlike Blockland there's no server list, so no chance of meeting random members of the community without looking for them.
Instead the only minecraft community you meet can just be your friends, or members of another community, like Blockland.
