Not really,
New generations need to have time to find out about "Factions" and "HCF" if thats what your trying to ask.
Regular Survival minecraft has never died but alot of people have stopped play "Servers" because most NEW players don't know about servers yet.

Minecraft is not even close to dieing. 1.7-1.8.9 pvp has been growing around 15% then it was last year, and way more people are coming for this kind of new type of minecraft that is more realistic. Minecraft will never die as it is one of the best games and the main reason is, you can create the gamemode. This is one of the only big video games that lets you custom create gamemodes. I could have this conversation with someone for hours, but ill keep this short (if you want to talk about this feel free to dm me 
).

What's on your nose?
Minecraft is at the middle in this point. I wouldn't necessarily slap the "dying" label on the game because that's what game enthusiasts predicated many years ago, now look where it's at. I think to look at the game and say it is dying is too broad of a topic. Minecraft, even though it was released on May 17, 2009. The game is still extremely popular, and still holds the title for being the second most popular game in selling over 154+ million copies, compared to Tetris for selling over 500+ million copies. Mojang also released Minecraft: Education Edition on November 1, 2016 that aims towards being an excellent tool to engage students in learning, collaboration, and critical thinking. Additionally, In a study by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, 71% of teachers using digital games like Minecraft reported subsequent improvement in students’ numeracy and computational thinking. These are vital skills for future jobs in Computer Science. Currently 58% of all new jobs in STEM are in computing. Only 8% of STEM graduates are in Computer Science. This technical skills gap in today’s job market is substantial and only growing.

Also with the new updates that are being released that are stunning to the community, it really only pushes away the "dying" term. Just recently Minecraft released Update Aquatic which has attracted popularity. One thing we should really look at is the versions that are dying, and the general pieces of the communities that are dying. I would strongly recommend that the communities behind the versions spanning between 1.7.10-1.8 are dying. Less and less players are funneling into these communities, and the ones who do quickly leave after they're favorite servers shutdown. Communities such as Mc-Market are composed of a majority of users in the 1.7.10-1.8 era. This means, when you log onto Mc-Market everyday, and you don't really notice much changing, this is because there isn't really anything changing. The versions have evolved to nearly the most it's potential can hold without updating to higher versions. If you update to a higher version, you lose the community that you're targeting and you begin to walk into unknown territory. Territory people like us don't recognize or understand because we see PvP written on every wall. It's a territory that other's identify as a "new world", a world that we dislike and refuse. This is why I believe these versions are dying. However, as far as the game as a whole..? No. Far from it in fact. We just don't perceive it like that because our communities are dying and they'res aren't. It's also difficult finding communities that are more geared towards the newer versions, and then adapting to the sense of it.
Think of the game like Runescape, a perfect example. If you play the game just for killing monsters and player vs player combat, than you're not feeling the lore, and quests part of the game. Then, later on down the road you attempt to PvP and you die. You believe for the sake of everything you'll get better, or you're good but you face death constantly. This is because you're not adapted to that new region. The same thing is perceived with Minecraft. If you're apart of the PvP community, you don't feel what it's like to be truly authentic and creative. To be innocent. You only feel back stabbed, and like you want to "get players back", or just kill them for the sake of a joke.
This is how I perceive how "Minecraft is dying". Thanks for reading.

Love how you put it in quotes says a lot
MC is on a rise right now for some reason and I don’t think it will ever replicate the nostalgia we had before
This era is dead, and if Lunar fails, I think HCF as a genre should be abandoned
