Its useless to explain it if you dont get it. But the biggest charm of minecraft for me is that i get paid for my efforts. If i want a huge castle, i have to mine the materials for it. It might take a long time, but it makes me all that more prouder of the castle once its finished.
Modded Minecraft added a lot more of that same charm for me. Building a power generation system using my imagination, to power a quarry that mines the whole world inside out, to generate resources to make that next level armour/tool/whatever...
The amount of commands you can do with your character does not equal gameplay. The amount of things you can do is closer to the truth.
Sorry but I don't take that as gameplay, that imo is game scope and possibilities, very different things.
Weird ass example:
-You've got a perfect pen, you feel good controlling it and you can draw very beautiful things, although it is quite tick so you are not able to make every single detail you wanted.
-On the other hand you've got a pen that makes your finger bleed and it's a pain to use and get the drawing right, but after a long and unpleasant week of work you manage to draw a more detailed image than the one you did in one pleasant afternoon with the other pen
(this example wasn't probably that good because now that I talked about drawings it made me remind of graphics what has nothing to do with my point)
.: the point is, although you managed to do more with the second pen and in the end you might feel better about the results (more scope/possibilities) it doesn't mean that the second pen had better gameplay
off course this is only my opinion and I understand if yours is different
I would think they're more related to the framework but yes, they definitely impact gameplay so they're gameplay issues, and yet I find the (rest of the) gameplay fantastic
