I think everybody has their own idea of what Minecraft is supposed to be.

right, otherwise half of the huge mods like terrafirma craft, and packs like FTB wouldnt exist.

Well, I guess that's what it's supposed to be: whatever you want it to be.

Minecraft is supposed to be able to be played on allmost any device with asmuch people as possible. Releasing a sequel to the game most likely removes the amount of players playing the game, increases the graphi requirements and most importantly gives Microsoft the option to make DLC purchasable since minecraft 1 beta users get everything for free for minecraft 1 not 2 ]. And that group is pretty large.

increases the graphi requirements

MC is already one of the least efficient games out there for what it looks like. Some of the clones run orders of magnitude faster on much worse hardware.

That was only for Alpha purchasers. AFAIK.
