Oh wow this video is popping again! If you have ANY idea/things you want to see me talk about next , I’d love to hear em! Just recently went into the new $70 price tag for games!
The bit about Mojang's commitment to environmental awareness is especially hilarious when you consider how the game has from the beginning practically forced the player to be environmentally unfriendly. Need resources? Dig out massive stripmines, displacing local ecosystems entirely in your quest for materials. Make the forest safe from creepers by cutting down every tree and spamming the area with light sources. Food? Just cram a bunch of cows into a confined space that's on par with some of the worst factory farms in the real world! Wool? Put a sheep into a small containment chamber, it will be sheared automatically every time it regrows its wool! Villagers? Best, most efficient way to use them (and least frustrating too!) is to cram them into a small space where they must stand forever, never able to sleep, always waiting to restock their trades, and always in danger of being turned into zombies, and you'll Stockholm Syndrome (ironic) them into giving you massive discounts by curing them. Mob farms? Lots run off of inhumane methods - iron farms rely on villager torture and gold farms rely on zombie pigmen trying to trample and crush turtle eggs, which btw can never hatch because they're not on sand - congratulations you have condemned innocent baby turtles to purgatory for a valuable resource. List aside, it's absolutely asinine that Mojang doesn't want to add real life animals because "muh environmentalism" when the game has from its very inception, all the way up to the present day, *encouraged* environmental exploitation.
I think Mojang/Microsoft themselves forgot that minecraft is supposed to be imaginative. Literally add whatever animal or creature you want, it's a game encouraging you to go nuts. follow your own advice-
I guess, but feeding a parrot cookies is very different from all of that. some young kid might do the former, but I doubt they would play minecraft and come away wanting to do gentrification.
I never archived anything in Minecraft, because I had to replant every tree and leave all terrain exactly as I found it. I would carry wood block to build ledges for climbing, because I didn't want to destroy the natural mountain cliffs. I was horrified when I saw other people playing the game and leaving huge parts of the world in ruin. If you play this game as a game, then obviously the optimal way is to ruin the environment to gather as many resources as you need as fast as possible. But if you want to engage in the tiniest amount of role-play and treat the generated world like a real world that was given to you to care for and keep and make beautiful, then it's not optimal at all to ruin the view you have behind your window. It's like Sims, playing to win is not the intended way to do it.
Am I the only guy who doesn’t confine villagers to small spaces? I let them just wander around town and wait on them to return to their workplace. Maybe I stalk them and steal their bed, but I wonder how many people share this same method.
@@boogie6419 I am fine with walling off the Village to keep them safe but Most People already move them to their all over so what do you lose by trapping the villager in a cell? Nothing. Something like that happened in Terraria where most people would make Apartments or Prison Cells to mass horde the NPC's and they added a tax if you horde the NPC's... with expected fire and brimstone. The only reason the NPC were mostly spared is due to they added a Teleporting System linked to the NPC's
I've been thinking about this for so long but so many fans claim that if we want cool stuff in Minecraft then we should just go buy a pack or download a mod. Which completely misses the point of me wanting the base game to be more interesting. Great job on this dude 🔥
why do you all assume you are owed massive amounts of FREE updates to a game you make such a big deal out of saying you "already bought"? Like, you paid for the game, you got the game, and then you piss and shit and cry and puke that there's not enough extra shit being added FOR FREE? also it's incredibly funny you're still faking outrage over chat reporting. show me one person who was mistakenly banned from servers and I'll stop laughing every time you weirdos mourn the loss of using slurs in chat
Mojang has laid out their rules for developing the game and what their vision for the game is very clearly. They know what game they want to create and they make it very clear that they try not to bloat the game with features. Are you saying you want the base game to... Be like a modpack? Like, I don't understand wtf you mean.
Console players weep. Microsoft keeps pissing me off more and more on the daily, to the point where I reget buying an Xbox one 3 years ago. Spent almost a thousand euros on a good gaming pc, haven't regretted it one bit 🔥
I find it funny how basically copper's only feature is that it oxidizes.... When copper in real life is one of the only metals together with gold that doesn't oxidize easily (unlike iron who oxidizes easily)
....and then we never get a Rusted Iron Block or even a Rusty Iron Golem after Caves and Cliffs using the exact same systems Copper uses for.... reasons
@@NotTheGaslighter the reason is simple, keeping some features as exclusives. What would happen if every metal rusted? It would feel like a commonplace feature instead of the unique thing it is!
@@SaishoVibes i do not see the point of why someone needs to feel so conservative and shy with the existence of a new and interesting building block that can easily make its way into landscaping and industrial/underwater builds... its a silly argument to say copper and rust wouldn't COMPLIMENT each other perfectly with their uses! .....also, gold doesnt rust, rust is inherently a property of iron oxidization, please at least google your arguments first, it took me 30 seconds. please try harder next time.
Ever since they refused to add sharks because they think that it will teach kids to attack sharks irl (which is like the whole videos game cause violence argument) I knew that they Mojang was changing for the worse.
i hate this argument so much, games dont have to 100% reflect real life and im sure most kids can tell the difference between a fictional block world and real life right?
While I agree with the sentiment, and abhorre the idea that video games make you violent, we have tangible examples of how widespread art has affected peoples views on animals. There is a strong correlation between the release of Jaws, and the number of sharks killed by us. The image of sharks seems to have been heavily tarnished by Jaws, and the author of the original book tried and failed to fix their reputation. They might be an endangered species because of the cascading effect of ONE piece of art. So I don't blame Mojang for being worried by the effect of such a large scale succesful game on people's perception of these animals.
@@rogoznicafc9672 Debatable. But what better time to internalize the idea of man eating sharks than childhood? Now, the thing is that the idea is already widely believed. It's in everything. Minecraft might not even be a blip in the way people view sharks. But I wouldn't blame developpers to not want to take the risk.
Sharks could be implemented so well into the game. Have them work like wolves and be passive until you hit them and they hunt mobs. What if you could take them and they’d fight for you underwater!? That’d be so cool bro
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 that’s what mojang says and thinks, That’s why they removed fireflies and instead made frogs eat slimes because there’s no way kids can buy or make slime irl, it’s the evil fireflies that need to go
Man I remember when the Iron Golem was added. I was so excited to see it. But with the current Minecraft updates, I haven't been that excited. And that is depressing.
Don’t you think your perspective as a long time player might be a factor? The iron golem probably looked amazing to you as a kid, but how much do people use then for today besides iron farms? New features might be more exiting for newer players because everything seems new, but older players who understand the complexity of the game might think otherwise.
@@Elfking94 Notch was shooting out those updates like crazy. I wasn't even aware of Minecraft at that time and only started playing it in 2019 just before Pewds started playing it.
Before: Wow, Iron Golems, I can use them to add more defenses to the villages in case they are in trouble! Now: Wow, Iron Golems, I can enslave villages for them to infinite generate iron!
They also have a full development team, and can only come out with a single new mob every summer. Making a blocky entity with new features should take a few days for the development team.
EXACTLY. No matter how much they say "its far easier to create mods than to code the game" and "we have to think of how would this add to the game and other features" and then they go and add ONE usseless mob and an new item with only ONE spesific use. All that in 6 months while still having a 50+ member team...
@@rogoznicafc9672 something you need to remember is that there is also a ton of other factors involved in adding something than just coding it in. There is marketing, design iterations, and planning. There is also any potential unforeseen bugs and issues that they might run into (which is very likely), and parity is another issue. And despite the relatively simple graphics, Minecraft’s internal code is very complex due it being a Sandbox. Keep in mind, this is a sandbox game. Other games like Minecraft dungeons can easily have set levels and monsters that nail the atmosphere because you don’t need to worry about the player breaking blocks. Id rather have a few new balanced features with interesting memorable designs that feel like they fit in the game, than 50 new boring mobs that were slapped together with duct tape in a day, do the exact same thing, are buggy, and absolutely destroy the game balance. That’s not even taking into consideration making sure the path finding is actually good, and also the fact that an update that large that comes out that quickly might feel way too overwhelming for some players. And the developers who have said mods are easier to work on used to be modders themselves (ex: kingbdogz is one of the creators of THE original aether mod). Unlike modding, which uses an existing framework, the developers are working on the base game and have to create features from the ground up. Also, not all 50+ developers are coders. Some of them are artists or work on sounds and music. And even then, some developers also mainly fix bugs or work on back end technical improvements. Also, the last time an update only came with one new mob (besides 1.17 which focused on overhauling worldgen, and 1.15, which was a much needed bug fix update) was 1.9, which only added shulkers (and even then, they also added skeleton traps). Adding a bunch of new blocks and flowers in a biome sounds nice, but they will also make the current inventory problems way worse. That isn’t to say there aren’t things Mojang does that I don’t like, but most of these are related to their design philosophy and not their content output (ex: Mojang having a bias towards passive mobs in recent updates, trying to give every feature a use regardless of what it is and scrapping it otherwise).
@@Weldedhodag there have been a few attempts at fixing it, like with bundles (although iirc they were having trouble getting them to feel right in bedrock due to mobile controls). The 1.19.3 changes to the creative inventory is also a step in the right direction, and the devs have acknowledged that the current inventory system has a lot of issues that need to be addressed. It’s just a pretty major issue to tackle while also making all players happy, so a lot of big ideas on how to fix it usually fall outside the scope of an update.
"Should take a few days" is VERY debatable. A couple of weeks at best if we're talking brainstorm phase all the way to the final fleshed out and polished product.
Why don’t they update old stuff either, like the dolphins with saddles, new mode of transport, boom new feature. Goats don’t do anything except horns, make a block that uses a horn so people can use it in tandem with the not block and bell for music , boom new feature. The bat, make it destroy skulk or something or give it a drop which can combat the skull or warden or to just detect skulk, boom new feature. Update pigs , sheep’s and cows textures abit for instance horns for cows, snots and tails for pigs and more fluffy coats for sheep, also muddy variants like for Minecraft earth, boom new feature. Better foliage and biomes, Birch forest, add mushrooms that grow on the sides of them, hollowed birch which act like hoppers but only move down not to the side, more grass textures that are randomises for better foliage, more variety in trees so they are bushier, boom new features. Allays spawn randomly not just in dark oak mansions, allow them to be used to move stacks of item’s between two chests/ inventory’s, boom new feature. There are so many things they add which just end up being useless and with little updates and additions it would make the game so much better. Also they need to sort out the inventory
I had the idea of adding different levels of pockets to leggings and chestplates and headlights to helmets (neither are enchantments, they're something you craft onto armor), directly fixing the inventory size issue while also not only giving people another thing to reach for, but also making progression not just getting diamond, an iron chestplate that gives you another row of items is arguably better than a diamond chestplate. Also, we need better dungeons. a 3x3 cobblestone cube with a spawner doesn't even remotely cut it anymore
Mojang is “environmentally friendly”, And they want to “represent animals realistically”, that’s why the removed fireflies, it’s because *SOME* firefly species are poisonous to *SOME* frogs and they thought kids would force feed fireflies to frogs, Same with dolphins, They also want to add “endangered species”, like the retard axolotl and polar bear and they don’t want hostile animal mobs for some reason but it’s pointless, because polar bears don’t eat vegetables, they eat people and whatever meat they can find, In other words, Mojang has gone “PC”
I played the Beta in college. Had fun with it for a while. Forgot about it. I'm on 1.19 now going through it with my daughter. She's 5. I like building things for her after she goes to bed like a train or a castle. She likes populating areas with animals. It's a vastly different game from when I first played it. I'll always have the memories of being able to play with her.
The thing I want the most is the most basic one : Ambiance sound, like birds, wind, trees leaves … depending on the biomes (which should also get an update, I mean just how sad does the forest biome feel)
Damn this reminds me of how disappointed I was when they added copper; and people on Reddit were mad at me for saying it was basically useless. Like, yah, it’s pretty to look at but we have ENOUGH pretty blocks man. I want something that actually impacts the game for christs sake
I honestly think it's time for mojang to shake minecraft up. Right now minecraft has 3 core pillars, building, crafting/exploration, and redstone. Each update adds on to each of these pillars, though typically whatever they add is either 1) too hard to get for what you get in return or 2) have too niche a use to be useful. I believe minecraft should honestly add a new "pillar" to work off of to keep the game fresh. Something like magic or reworking the potion system so there's an actual incentive to use it and it becomes a pillar of the game. Idk everything mojang does just feels like pointless detailing.
An overhaul to Magic, combat, and exploration would add so much Imagine if they added more to the overall player arsenal (taking inspiration from mc dungeons). We could have a wider variety of gear where people can focus on different combat aspects (say a set that improves crossbow recharge but makes melee damage 20% less) would add alot. Make it so that full netherite isn't the final goal for everyone. Maybe there could be some deep ocean ravines that has gear suited for underwater use. Some sort of magic wand/crystal/structure that allows you to "tame" skeleton to fight alongside you like wolves. There are so many possibilities
@@alexs3469 i loved when they added zombie and skeletons variants to the game, and after seeing MC Dungeons i felt like this kind of thing could be explored further like armored mobs(not just random armor, i mean some actual high level monsters that are tougher and can spawn sometimes). Minecraft really needs to put more nuance in that "keep it simple" philosophy. They need to add depth to features that have none but make that depth not be a core mechanic that impacts average casual gameplay from someone who barely plays it but something that makes the more advanced minecraft players have something to do with them
@@alexs3469 idk man, I mean those specialized sets of armor could be cool but what for? I don't see any use for such specialization as the game is right now (in singleplayer at least, it'd be nice in pvps). There isn't much use to pve since you can make a farm for any resource you get from mobs, even xp. For such a deep specialization of gear they first would have to make a need for it in some way. Idk those were my thoughts, I'm interested to hear what you guys think.
A complete overhaul of combat would be nice. New weapon types, magic weapons, magic. All the good stuff. I’d also be a warm welcome if bedrock Edition also got the pvp update
@@alexs3469 yo, it has been confirmed potions are going to change since a dev confirmed in the future each potion will be a different icon. So we might get the magic update
@@darealepic You really think the microsoft account migration would have happened without microsoft breathing down their necks? A few of my friends now can't play minecraft because the email they used to sign up was made back in 2010 and mojang's customer support is dog water. Won't be surprised if they add microtransactions to java edition because microsoft deemed the game "not profitable enough".
I feel mojang’s design philosophy most of the time has them creating external additions rather than interacting with the systems and features the majority of players use. I think this is out of fear of upsetting players like they did with the combat update, but it’s a shame that it’s happening. Their best updates have come from bold decisions to fundamentally alter the progression and experience of the base game, because it helps old players like me enjoy the game again, and it improves the experience for a new player.
This!!! Most of the updates feel like neat little additions that are attached to the outside of the core game, and that core game is getting less and less interesting the more neat stuff is placed on the outside, but the neat stuff on the outside is only useful for a bit.
@@stefanofeblesverastegui8869 for dark souls fans who like slow ass boring combat. Combat update literally bricked most good pvp mini games and single handedly did shit like kill survival games
I'd like to point out the time between the last truly _good_ mob to be added, the warden; and the second last good mob to be added, the evoker; was literally 6 whole years. It took Mojang a third of the entire time I've been alive to add a new mob that truly wowed me.
but it isn't "good" it is just an opinion of yours. Bees are a good mob to me. Piglins are a good mob to me, heck even phantoms are a good mob to me (for what they were designed to do, I want them in the end instead of overworld tho)
I really do think they are too scared to do something big and effective, definitely too safe Like dude, instead having some 'boat' made out of blocks just sitting there in the water, allow me to make it sail
Yeah, and I sorta blame the community for this since they never really get satisfied with any update. Oh you released a performance update? Well no it should’ve had WAY more content. Oh you released a content update? Well no you should’ve made a performance update instead. And I’m not saying Mojang is flawless but my god this community can be insufferable at times.
@@thebushbros6626 they are never satisfied because Mojang simply makes so unsatisfying Updates you can't give the Community the fault they are literally complaining about a lack of content, why would they then hate a Big Content updated? Like use your brain
@@thebushbros6626 I don't wanna be that guy but 1.17 to 1.20 have been very minor updates with a few legitimately cool things in each one. I think people are reasonable in wanting something bigger by now.
I haven’t played Minecraft in a long while, but I do remember as a kid watching a video of some people fighting in pirate ships with a cannon mod and really wanting to be able to try it. Looking at it now, though updates have been substantive, if feedback from the people that play the game isn’t used, then you probably won’t get the things people really want. Great video!
Sokar and Keralis are probably the guys you're thinking of, just search their names followed by "minecraft pirate ship battle" and several videos will come up. Map download is in the description if I remember right.
You're welcome. Stayed up all night long watching those sort of videos once, from 9 pm to 8 am. If you know by any chance, I'm trying to find a few older RU-vid videos; A short, maybe 57 second FNAF 2 Garrys Mod animation, done entirely in sliding camera shots over still frames. I distinctly remember a model of the sniper, maybe with that goatee beard cosmetic or whatever, and it had a slightly faster, higher pitched cover of the man behind the slaughter song in the background, also with less instruments possibly. Garrys mod map of gm_construct in minecraft textures, older video for sure. Venturiantale video, small house map, papa achachella, and a tree prop (large one) fell down. Minecraft tornado mod video, male voice with a cheap mic, further away from the mic for sure, custom asian map, he was in a rice field and got hit by a tornado, maybe british, definitely before 2015. Minecraft video from way back in the day, it was an adventure map, maybe referencing vampires, very dark, prison? Player could only break clay, had to break clay and get under iron bars. Not a video, but a ps2 or ps1 fps game, only level i remember was a gunfight in an airfield at night, highly lit up, several fighter jets, and you had to run to the command tower to get a briefcase; I always died trying to get to the briefcase or getting it and in a lone voice recording from the last time i played it, said it was something along the lines of "Spastist spy." (spas-tist) Garrys mod flood video by a MAYBE popular RU-vidr, had a group of friends on a couch, and a wall of water hit them on a flat map with a custom concrete pad with ramped edges. I remember they were all early 20s around when i watched it (pre 2014(?)), They were on a couch when it hit, van prop used later. Garrys mod tornado series from around 2012-2013, person made a bathtub car with a ladder, breens desk, large wheels, and took off and the video ended. Possibly related to these videos is the avia 31 prop in a seperate video being turned into a crude flying car, 2 or 3 people in the video. Some ytp made before 2018, All i remember is a joke about one of those excercise tilt chair things being great for sex, then something about tap water using bieber to kill 99% of Germans. I remember the Discovery Family Hub logo. Might update this later with anything else I can remember, but if you recognize anything or have any leads, it would definitely help.
The amount of things they have promised that never came around is immense. The amount of POTENTIAL this game had isnt prevalent anymore. The mob vote for the phantoms why only just one? All of the mobs were cool and truly unique. What happened to fallen trees or combat overhaul? Why do only one biome revamp? Even just two biome revamps would be better than just the one. A MULTI BILLION lemme repeat. a multi- BILLION dollar company WITH OVER 500 talented devs can't manage to keep the game fresh for more than 2 weeks. Can't even add 2 pixels that fly around because they are poisonous to frogs. Lets add 1 new block and a useless item. People aren't angry at mojang, not in the slightest. we're just dissapointed.
To be fair to Mojang, I think the real reason they didn't add fireflies is because they were unsure of how they would fit into the game. The new birch forest also never had any in-game footage, only concept art. These ideas were most likely scrapped because they were unsure how they fit into the game. For the biome vote as well, they have stated that the biomes that won would be prioritized while the biomes that didn't would still be updated, but later. And Mojang have only ruled out mobs from the 2017 vote, which means the others are still up for grabs.
I think Mojang, when they decide they're actually going to do something, it turns out really well. 1.16, the new World Gen from 1.18, and on the smaller scale Frogs and the Mangrove Swamp are all great additions to the game and achieve everything they set out to do. The issue with Mojang I believe is that they're Short Sighted, not lazy. Examples given in the video of things like Mending making Anvils all but entirely useless is a good one, Elytra now dominate the game, the Caves and Cliffs are beautiful but they're a hassle to maneuver around without an Elytra. They add these great things, but they never add things to compliment these new features, or seem to think of the longer term ramifications of an addition. If they took that year to add other things to make the update even better, a great example is 1.14 adding in things like the Stonecutter as a peripheral thing that fit into the main update and achieved something, then I think the long wait would be more acceptable. Though an elephant in the room that I think has been largely ignored, is the distrust towards Mojang that has developed over the past 2 years that is the fault of no one but themselves. It seems they've at least somewhat learned from the mistake of promising things for an update before they're done (Keep in mind the Warden was supposed to be in 1.17), but it doesn't wipe away the issues that came before. Then you have things like the Birch Forest revamp and Fireflies that could have easily been added without any issues, as especially with Fireflies all they would need to do is disable the ability for Frogs to eat them. This, I don't want to call it Dishonesty, so I'll say Overconfidence, is what has made a lot of people extremely miffed with Mojang in combination with everything else. As for their "Environmentalist Message" it's just a farce to look good. I don't claim that lightly, but they've added things like Dolphins, Pandas, Polar Bears, and Parrots, and among them only the Dolphin does anything but spawn in a rare biome and exist. I get not wanting to add Aggressive Mobs from Real Life, but there's a ton they could do with Neutral mobs and just not have them attack the player unless provoked.
Finally a comment that isn't "modern Minecraft is garbage, old Minecraft is goat", first of all old Minecraft is only playable with mods, think about it the old minecraft updates are even simpler than the wild update and tales and trails update, in other words old Minecraft is boring and nostalgia based And all the Nostalgiatards will attack me but i don't care because i'm based
I'm still basically mad at them for saying they "never promised the birch forest revamp" and then saying "oh that was just concept art idiots hahahaha". Gaslighting.
I’m noticing more and more parallels between Mojang and Bethesda as time goes on, like the “keep it simple, stupid” philosophy, starting from scratch, and trying to monetize everything
the downfall for me was when mob votes were introduced. went to even more crap when it went from "get mobs not added to minecraft added to spin offs!" to "delete the idea of the other mobs that were even suggested and make the votes easy to rig"
Take a look at the most recent vote and tell me there wasn’t some background tomfoolery to get the sniffer added. It was the only mob with a remote chance of winning because they blatantly and clearly put more effort into it than the others…
Honestly I loved what they did with the villagers. Before that update there was almost no reason to go to a village. At least now villagers have useful trades and I have a reason to keep them around.
Nah. For me villages lost all value after the update. For a simple reason: how common they are. I remember in past, coming across a village was so rare it legit felt like coming across civilization after spending years stranded alone.
Loved your video, and definitely agree about the community being a huge part. Minecraft is and always will be a special game to me cause that’s where i met my life-long friends on. we met through this closed friend server, and now we’ve been friends for a decade. Minecraft is a great time, and i’ll always be thankful for the people i’ve met, and everything about it.
They're scared to add sharks as they don't want real life mobs to be hostile. Then don't make them hostile? Mojang pretending to care about sharks while acting like they're intrinsically murderous creatures. They only need to attack the player if the player attacks them.
I think the number one issue with Mojang and the development of Minecraft might just be the size of the team. There appear to only be a HANDFUL of Minecraft gameplay devs at any one time. Like, less than 10. This to me is absurd. Minecraft is an absolutely HUGE game. There are literally hundreds of thousands of bug reports. There are two completely separate versions of the game. Why is there SUCH a small dev team? If there were double the devs, or even triple, the likelihood is we would see updates a lot faster. They could be much more fleshed out. But right now, this tiny dev team is incredibly overworked and burned out, particularly after the Nether Update and Caves & Cliffs. We already know that the Nether Update was "one of the most stressful updates of all time", likely involving much crunching, and C&C was so big they had to split the update in two halves to save the health of the team. Guys. You make 9 digit revenues every year. HIRE MORE DEVS.
I think that they need some brainstorming and listening a lot more to the community, I need Minecraft updates to feel like the game is going forward, not having a new hope of boat xd
Now this has easily been the video I’ve become most proud of in the past year of this channel. It really puts together a few years of frustration into words! I would really mean the WORLD to me if you could share this video with even just 1 friend to help get those algorithmic steroids going!
Well, now they're going after the community. Censoring words, guns, servers, heck, you can't even have sponsors anymore without breaking their stupid community guidlines. I think it might be finally time to let Minecraft rest in peace. You know the quote about dying a hero or living long enough to become the villain? Minecraft (update wise) should've been category one. You made the previous 10 years better, sorry you had to go down like this, Minecraft.
But they still let gambling crates on servers to be sold to literal children, as long as it makes them money then they have no morals, you would think gambling to children would be one of the top priorities if they were truly morally conscious
Because Java is a compiled programming language (there's way more behind it, but it gives off the idea) , to run anything it must always be compiled first, therefore to produce an update they have to "build the game all over again", it's nothing that should matter that much and its even a pretty common practice, since most games are programmed using compiled languages
@@dsihacks I know (it's what i'm referring to with "there's way more behind it but it gives off the idea"), just didn't add that because it makes it a bit more confusing for people who don't know much about programming
Striders came out after the Elytra haha - really we are lucky to be getting free updates consistently, and more ways to play - I like playing in different ways, so sometimes I will trade for gear, other times I will mine for gear, and other times I will loot for gear 🤷🏻♀️ Its fun utilising the different forms of transport and mechanics, and for me some of the best things about minecraft are late game crazy farms and mega builds in a community with a few friends -
I mean striders I find are better than people think. I've seen people get annoyed at having to travel through the basalt biome (I don't it might be my favorite nether biome) but striders make it a cake walk (no lava or magma block damage, just walking over the uneven terrain instead of parkouring over it.
Broken promises, useless mobs, the Warden being insanely overpowered and dropping nothing after taking an hour to kill it, incredibly underwhelming updates, Mojang refusing to give us cool stuff because of their hypocritical stance on environmental preservation. Seriously nobody playing Minecraft is actively thinking about the environment and learning environmental preservation while they're playing the game. In fact, it encourages the dead opposite. Do you see "preserve the environment" when players blow up villages, make trading farms, breed cows until they're crammed and can't move, etc etc etc?
and don't tell me the Warden is a "passive" mob and that killing it is essentially like "killing a blind man" that is such a stupid argument. The Warden doesn't spawn in peaceful mode for a reason. Because it's a hostile mob, and it's a hostile mob because it's always in a constant state of trying to attack and kill you as soon as it spawns. Unless you throw a snowball, it automatically knows where you are upon spawning and starts coming after you despite being blind. If you move out of his path, it doesn't matter because he sniffs you out and adjusts his direction so he can come after you, and when he gets close to you, even if you're standing still and not making noise, he still attacks. Why isn't he neutral when he spawns? Why can't you just wait him out? Why upon successfully being able to kill the thing in survival do you NOT get a reward for it? At least give us a ton of xp. Would make sense too for the biome we're talking about, but no, the community doesn't want that because they're afraid of people making farms out of it... Dude, so what? People make farms out of literally everything in this game. If you can build a warden farm in Minecraft, you've earned that right. It's a limitless sandbox survival game afterall. People should be able to play the game however they want. If you don't want to make mob farms, don't, but don't encourage the prevention of features and abilities that give the player even more ways to play. It hurts nobody. We're not playing on mass SMP survival worlds, most of us are playing singleplayer survival. Get over it.
@@kompst_tuMojang have said that they aren't gonna give the warden a good drop because "players aren't supposed to kill it". I mean, be thankful they didn't make the warden invincibe, because they actually thought of doing that
Truthfully I've almost exclusively played modded Minecraft since probably 2012, tons of mods that add new stuff though not stuff I'd inherently think would be fitting to the base game. A good video and highlights a decent amount of points; shoot Mojang could just look to Alex Mobs to see some of the unique abilities those critters have for inspiration. Most of the new updates haven't really captured my interest apart from the great new world height, depth, and cave generation. I missed having lots of fancy cave systems and it was nice to have an update dedicated to that.
Honestly this video needed to be made. Aside from the Nether Update (Which slapped) the newest updates have all been disappointing. 1.20 looks like the absolute worst update since 1.9, they just added random bullshit that doesn’t affect the game in any positive way and called it an update
@@thebreadbunny1863 if I play a survival I clearly do it because I want to be an archeologist, not because I want to explore, gear up and kill the boss.
@@ybd killing the dragon and getting good gear hasnt ever really been the point of the game. Its a sandbox game with a huge ressource gathering aspect, and some techy stuff inbetween. Survival is somewhat of a misnomer, yeah.
How you described Minecraft at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="170">2:50</a> , reminded me how Epic Games overhauls anything that upsets players who have trouble winning. The problem I see nowadays is that developers think anyone who plays video games is young and doesn't understand. Minecraft with the more simple and easy enchantments, Fortnite with random tips popping on the screen, and even on GoW Ragnarök *no spoilers for the character even if you know*, Atreus, and Mimir just keep saying "Shield Block!" Or something like that
My skeptical theory is that minecraft will purposefully allow mods to thrive by not adding new features, this in turn makes sure the pc version of minecraft is always going to be superior, now people will be buying both windows & java edition to play the best version of minecraft, this makes more profit for microsoft and mojang, since microsoft owns mojang it gets a double benefit.. this is a very loose theory but kinda makes sense logically.
Mojang: we don’t want to encourage kids to do things that harms them or the environment. “Kid dies from trying to get honey from beehive because he did it in minecraft”
The copper thing is so true. Imagine how useful copper could be as a completely different way to transmit signals that redstone or what it could do if it just straight up transmitted redstone. It would be sick.
Not realizing that having to update a game on two different codes on multiple platforms not to mention an idea for the update have to go through a lot of different team and check to even become a feature takes a while
We see this with a lot of global franchises though. The creative team is motivated to keep Minecraft static and recognizable to market to the widest audience possible. This is probably why they usually don't expand on older features now; those features are iconic, cemented in valuable nostalgia. Instead they can add new items and features that evoke the same style and function that people remember. They're not lazy, their goals just aren't necessarily the same as ours. Mods are meant to expand the game and make it more fun. Updates are meant to strategically increase the value of the game while staying faithful to the original vision of the most popular game in the world.
That's the part I think people are really missing here. Especially post-Microsoft, Minecraft has to be like Pokemon now. Each new generation is more content, more products, more screaming-goat t-shirts and plushies to sell to make up for the fact that the updates are free. Thankfully (and not unlike Pokemon), because of the sheer size of the community, there's always gonna be someone who sees how much better things could be, and that's something I suspect we'll get to enjoy for a long time after the game is driven into the ground. I of course hope it doesn't go that way, but my point is that even if it does we'll be alright.
Easily the worst part is what’s been happening with the mobs, and it’s not getting any better. Horses were a good addition, but then they added the Mule, Donkey, Llama, Goat, and Camel. Has anyone ever used these mobs for more than five minutes? The mobs they add either intentionally have no function (foxes, polar bears, pandas) or are so outclassed that they’ll never see use (all the previously mentioned mobs). It wouldn’t be an issue if these mobs weren’t touted as premier features for new updates.
i absolutely agree and i’ve been saying things like this for a while. It’s annoying the minecraft fanboys just defend for the mediocre content Mojang releases
Personally think a optimisation/parity update should be high priority. Not running a bad system but recently upgraded from rtx2060 to 3060, had optifabric but yet to install it and java chugs hard in vanilla with default settings. Yet bedrock just works. Will say after a break from streaming/playing coming back to the latest official release of the game I am pleased to see early game progression on new worlds is harder, or at least that was my experience on both versions from a few seeds I tried.
Optimization does not sell well. They have to do what they can and optimize little parts of the game while still adding shiny new features for the kiddies
Use sodium and iris instead of optifabric since they perform a ton better for strictly performance. There are many other mods that bring other things from optifine, and they all work together alongside other mods a lot better than optifabric does. (Additional mods include C2ME, Animatica, Colormatic, Enhanced Block Entities, Lithium, Starlight, OptiGui, and many more)
Java runs on additional layer of abstraction, at a certain point you cannot optimize any more. From my experience, optimized code is hard to work with, I used to often rewrite portions of codes I erased, because I had to add a new feature and it wasn't possible without a code. Bedrock runs directly on your CPU, this is why it will always be faster.
I think mojang is going through the same thing that twitter was going through pre-elon musk era. Too many workers with little to no direction and way too much benefits for as little work as possible. If you saw the average twitter HQ before musk, most of the workers were on the food court than in the actual offices. Most of the things that mojang promises can and WERE developed by modders in the span of literal hours. And most of the stuff they promise doesn't even get released. Like the bunch of cool mobs that got scrapped from the mob votes and will never be added back? The concept pictures of the birch trees that never happened (and we were gaslighted into thinking it was our fault for thinking it was going to get added to the game), and ofc the archeology system which we still don't know if it's going to get added
"mojang is not lazy" they literally took almost 3 years to make a thing that was already made before,and even get rid of some functions and then create fake excusses,and when you say "mojang have to create everything from zero" and "mojang is lazy at creating new things" ,doesnt mean every minecraft update is lazy?
Agnes mentioned during the most recent minecraft live that Mojang's vision for the game is longevity, which answers the question of why they aren't adding in huge updates or tons of mobs. They see it as they can add one mob and one feature per year and that stretches out the life of the game into the decades. We're 10+ years past the original launch of the game which is far beyond what 80-90% of most games will ever reach in terms of how popular it is, and this train isn't stopping. Mojang sees that and needs to keep it fresh and funky even at the cost of actually good content.
honestly some of these videos are people just ranting about how the developers don't give them what they want but they don't really consider that there are millions of people out there who the developers are ''responsible'' for giving the best posible expirience for the player Also, more o the same people mention ''oh but the mods'' not realizing that mods are *specific* being just for those who are actively looking for that kind of game changing mechanic
I feel as mojang is too scared to actually add complex and creative features again. They probably think the community will probably react with negativity (to be fair anything and even something good that mojang does is always gonna be reacted with negativity) but honestly seeing how they took big steps and added a whole new armor set/weapons that were stronger then diamonds and literally changing how the game generates terrain massively, they might come out of their bubble. As for now, there still scared to actually add conplex features.
that aether reference hit me so hard… as someone who only plays minecraft in spurts now it’s sad to see how far the updates have fallen. i remember being so excited for 1.4 (the pretty scary update) but that changed pretty soon after that unfortunately…
Literally if a modder could port and improve the caves for the older modpacks, would be amazing. Hell I would just play the old Technic Singleplayer if I could.
@@Subject_Keter ehh, I don't know, unless there is a mod that extends the higher limit for older versions (I know 1.12 has cubic chunks but that's still in developement still)
minecraft runs like shit on the ps4 like it lags to start up the menu and press start and i have hated mojang since removing 90% of the skins i could use and forcing me to make a microsoft account
In my opinion, the rate at which the game is updating and the number of new features added is actually too much, not too little. The issue is they will add a new update along some theme and only touch on the most surface level details and then leave that feature completely alone for the next 5 years. The number of features since 1.12 has skyrocketed, but honestly with the exception of the new villager trading all of them are not enjoyable in the slightest. I think either Mojang should get rid of themed updates entirely (probably a hit to marketing so that probably won't happen), or they should at least not shy away from adding or changing features from other themes, or choose the theme of the update last after they decide on all the features they change (I think that's how it used to work pre-1.13). Just because 1.20 is probably already themed doesn't mean we shouldn't get some new nether biomes or villager balancing. This way the depth of new features can be expanded on without us having to wait 10 years, allowing the game to evolve more dynamically as it did in it's early days.
The Minecraft community i what keeps the gears turning... Sometimes Mojang adds a little oil to make it run smoother other times the accidentally pour sand- but above all else they try! And some days i think that we put the bar that they have to surpass a little too high... In any case we need to change our views on how updates are maintained especially since Mojang was bought out by our overlords
Tittle: Why Mojang sucks Chapter 1 Exploring & and Goals For example in the overworld you can do a lot of stuff and explore a lot of stuff same like the nether but the end is just the most trash dimension ever its supposed to be the end of the game but it looks trash for example the end of games are cool and the most favorite part of the game but in Minecraft you only go there to get an elytra and kill the dragon there are not much goals to do or explore. Chapter 2 Useless Updates For example 1.16.9 was the only last good update cuz 1.17 its was only part one but i was like okay fine its added bigger caves so it made diamnods and any other ores where easier to get but i was like okay its a fine update but 1.18 this is where mojang start to get more worse and lazy the moutain update is the worst probably update ever it added moutains which lag you game a lot as heck a lot of kids couldnt even play the update cuz it lags to much cuz of dumb big moutains which are useless it extended the height limit and overall trash 1.19 the warden update was like okay fine the warden cave completally useless dont get me wrong it looks so sick and cool but its trash cuz its useless like 1.17 and 1.18 why would you got to the cave for ? also i found the allay which was completaly trash and useless the copper golem would be better cuz it would make automatic farms so much easier 1.20 bruuh BRUSH TOOL USELESS SNIFFER UGLY BOY USELESS bamboo wood fine cool frogs bro you sick? chest boat we have shulkers the only good thing in the update is the new pink trees Chapter 3 Mojang Lacking Mojang has been going in the worst path ever there updates are useless and they are updating more slower and slower and the updates get worse and worse also the Mojang ruined the game by making people vote For the mob vote cuz we could have so much good stuff if the trolls wouldnt exist i know its not mojangs fault but the comunity broo Dream well its so funny like people get mad over a block game lol but he just made the game worse we could have ice pillagers krakens copper golems better biomes but we got PHANTOM MOST ANNOYING MOB WE GOT ALLAY USELESS TAIGA BIOME USELESS we could have badlands better desert no its Taiga bro if mojang wouldnt allow us to vote then it would be better Mojang has been doing bad decission's after bad deccision's they are lazy and hiring people what just want money and not improve the game like they are hiring the most lazy people ever like why mojang why but it still leads my to a one question mojang what the heck are you doing in your office? I hope you read this and spread it to mojang goodbye.
I think the problem Minecraft has right now is that its developers are trying to be too safe. If they add sharks or alligators then they risk getting a worse rating (which currently is E for Everyone). Minecraft developers also probably don't have enough creative freedom to truly do the things they want.
It is just so astonishing to me how Mojang is actually fooling most of the Minecraft community by yes providing updates but ads nothing of value. First time I played the bee update with friends it was clear that 1/7 of us were interested in them, and just because bees are cute. For us others it was business as usual. And you can argue that you make ur own adventure/story etc. But at least it should keep me mentally engaged. Looking forward to testing out the Create mod.
Minecraft isn't a simple game, it just look simple because after all those years it didn't changed much so almost everyone know how to play it, but put someone that never had contact with Minecraft to play it, or just remember how it was in 2011, when almost no one knew how to play it... The argument of "they want to keep it simple" is just dumb and unreasonable
Some people say that minecraft is no longer vanilla and that we should not add any more features that are too different from 1.0. And others say that the new features are not so innovative anymore. The biggest problem of the game and at the same time its biggest strength is the community. No matter what happens Mojang will not satisfy all its players because they all have fundamentally opposite desires and a unique vision of the game! So what they do is to be in the middle, they please less people but they don't disappoint as much as if they had taken a part. They started with 1.20 to take feedback from the community and I think that's what was missing, it allows them to do what most people want.
i wish the redstone scene got some love :(. i appreciate that they were trying with the warden update but i dont think it was enough. copper wouldve been the perfect opprotunity to make vertical redstone lines, unlucky man :(
@@thebreadbunny1863 target blocks were a W i agree, honey is pretty niche imo tho, only rlly applies to the slime block engineers which don't rlly make up a majority. target blocks are v nice tho
for the quality of life mods point, I totally agree, however they can't put a lot of optifine mods in the game because optifine straight up said no, at one point mojang asked to actually fully implement optifine into base Minecraft but the creator said no
This is one of the reason why I think 1.19 is one of the better updates. Maybe it didn't add an entire new dimension, an it's only 1 biome, but I feel like the deep dark was actually really well done. It added an entire atmosphere that I've based my entire Minecraft world around. It added new sneaking mechanics, the largest structure in the game, and and honestly uniquely interesting and useful warden, structures, and the sculk family. I think that the deep dark was genuinely one of the most creative, and (in my opinion) best additions Minecraft has seen, which makes up for it, even if the update was relatively small. It's potential, creativity, atmosphere, and features are just amazing in almost all areas, if you're one who likes those features. Even if you're not, it's an optional engagement. I seriously think that the deep dark was one of their best ideas. The only thing it's really missing, is really more unique items & loot to get from the deep dark, which they've already started doing in 1.20, and potentially a deeper secret with the portal, which they may very well expand on in the future, as it defiantly has the potential to do so. I honestly think that the 1.19 update was a good direction for Minecraft to take a step in, and hope to see it expanded upon, and have future biomes have the same level of creativity of it. Then again, that's my opinion. Feel free to debate it.
Ive been on about this for years, ever since Microsoft announced they bought Mojang it went downhill, the updates quality is still there but lackluster and has no direction for the game, heck they didn’t bother updating the old structures with new blocks so its just there with no exploration in mind. And that they want this game feels the same while trying to make it educational baffles me. Just do it education edition, nobody wants to play a game just to learn environmental problems. That’s why people are switching to different games or waiting for hytale
@@thebreadbunny1863 1.7 add so many biomes, flowers, blocks and the latest updates just felt lack luster, yeah they did improve caves and cliffs but there could be better stuff for copper, more stuff for amethyst crystals, heck the new mobs are just there and provide nothing for the game or just lazy reskins (panda,glow squid,husk,stray.) and probably many more if they continue this direction.
@@EdgarinoEv that was a minor part of a far bigger update, and it was exactly what the community voted for. Also, the next biome vote revamped all of terrain gen, so
The issue is its not as simple to fix as you think. They have to keep in mind the giant playerbase and all systems when they make changes to the game, and its quite hard to make it perfect. Modders dont have to be concerned with balance or stuff that fits, but Mojang does. Thats the issue with comparing them
Yup to the modded part, That’s why I mentioned it! :D A modder is really able to implement WHATEVER feature they want even if jr goes against that “vanilla” feel, where as Mojang doesn’t But that STILL doesn’t excuse not atleast try to implement mod features that are clear improvement to the back end of the game, MouseTweaks, FasterWorkbench, Better Anvils, etc. Implementing community ideas directly is something Mojang used to do all the time and has added some of Minecraft most iconic features
@@KindofBradAtThis It's probably not as simple as that is the thing. I talk to game devs often, and while we as a community think they are good ideas, in practice maybe they don't work, break othee stuff, ect
Oh 100% but unlike other games, a lot of the fixes to some of Minecraft’s backend issues are a download or two away. It’s not just community saying “fix this”. The solution and creative ideas for features are already there and playable, which makes it a much more frustrating experience
I get people being upset at the lack of communication with 1.19, but also, this is still a huge set of updates. People used to be impressed when an update was a spider variant, now people turn up their noses at the entire skulk family + warden because they didn't get fireflies. I get that there are many features we want out of Mojang (I'm really wanting a return to the combat test snapshots), but they have churned out many of their best updates in the last several years: they went from the frostburn and world of color updates to caves and cliffs and the village and pillage updates.
@@Subject_Keter that is your opinion. Others love the update. Stop stating opinions as facts when tons of technical stuff has been done that makes modern minecraft amazing for devs
Yeah, 1.19 was honestly a pretty good update. I understand some people being upset about some of Mojang's choices but some people really seems to overreacts sometimes.
@@SaishoVibes He never did anything like that, if anything from your comment it sounds like you're stating your opinion as fact. I mean you literally said it like a fact that there are things which make minecraft "amazing for devs", which is objectively an opinion.
Sad thing is, they have SO much potential to make minecraft amazing. They just refuse to for no reason, or come up with stupid reasons like "dOnT FeEd FIrEfLieS tO fRoGs" or "sHaRkS aRe EnDaNgErEd" and it's honestly such a waste of potential to turn a "good" game into an "amazing" game. Here's how they should start: 1. Remove mob votes. All they do is cause controversy, when all of those amazing mobs with amazing potential could easily be added. 2. Make better dungeons. A cobblestone cube with 0 - 3 chests isn't exactly thrilling to find. 3. Add more biomes/ore types. These would both be amazing for people who love to explore underground and on the surface. 4. Overhaul the End. The End is very underwhelming with only those cheese looking blocks (endstone) and the occasional End City. Very dull and boring to explore. 5. Maybe add another dimension? Possibly related to the sculk that generates at the low points of the world. This would have a lot of potential for something that's endgame related, possibly the portal in the ancient city could only be ignited by using a rare item from the End Update, potentially leading to an area with very powerful mobs, ores, and maybe even a new final boss. 6. Sharks. Instead of making them hostile, make them like wolves where they only attack you if you attack them. 7. A few new structures. Some cool ones would be a cherry blossom biome temple, an underground village, and maybe a new nether structure! 8. Add more types of wolves. They did it for cats, why not dogs? 9. A new enchantment called "smelting". It would be applied to pickaxes, and would instantly smelt the raw ore into bars. Very useful! 10. Birds! There's quite a lack of birds in minecraft, with the only type being parrots. 11. Make the ender dragon harder. It's quite the underwhelming fight, being easily cheesed by water and a few beds. 12. Add more bosses. Maybe a stone golem in the overhauled dungeon! 13. Add better plants. Really, all we got is a bunch of grass, a few flowers, and, well, that's really it. The forest biome is a bit depressing. 14. Update things from the past. This has been done a few times, but most updates are entirely new features. A few examples of this are the forest biome, the end, the nether fortress, the dungeon, and the mineshaft. 15. The sky feels empty. Maybe add a sky based biome that's really rare? Kind of like the sky islands from Terraria? 16. Expand on the (very interesting) lore. 17. Remove the new "Netherite Upgrade" smithing template that's coming in 1.20. Netherite is tedious enough to get. 18. Add the Aether. It's so much wasted potential to just get scrapped. 19. In the nether, maybe there would be a very rare "red dragon" as a new boss. This would make the nether more interesting, although I have no clue where it'd be found. 20. Deserts are kinda boring, maybe update them! And those are my 20 suggestions for minecraft. I'm not the best at making ideas, and I'm sure people in the replies will make better ones, or maybe expand on mine.
What sucks even more is that there are mods that came before copper was even an ore, essentially they added it but watered it down more vs what it used to be in modded, copper, great electrical conductor so is gold. Instead of adding Niche additions to the game. Why not add some science or something that helps everyone learn something unique and new.
If mojang can't provide quality updates it's time to just add in an in game mod menu like in skyrim or fallout 4, that way the community can continue outdoing what mojang can't and as for paid for content fallout 4 and skyrim both have creation club aka paid mods although they are bring released in special editions
These eyebrow raising dramas weren’t the main reason I’m essentially retired from the game, but it is something that should be addressed and ask several questions about.
Bro this is an awesome video! The narrating, editing, writing, and the continuity were all incredible and I think it sums up many of the issues Mojang and Minecraft have been dealing with over the past few years, along with the players' frustration with them about that.
We will not add fireflies cuz frogs can die when they eat them in the real world (it depends a lot on the species of firefly as they can actually be eaten) Makes you put a tropical frog tadpole on literal icy cold weather just to get a green color, that surely would be healthy for a frog irl
@@Tyranid_HiveMind Yeah but no kid is gonna feed their frog magma. That's just not something that's realistically going to happen. But a bunch of kids feeding their frogs fireflies because they saw it in Minecraft? That's so easy and low-cost that I can imagine it happening very, VERY easily, and if 1/20 of those kids' frogs die that still probably wouldn't be the best look. I get their decision on that, but I guess I don't see why they couldn't have just... made them not be eaten by frogs.
My only two problems with the game currently: Half the biomes are completely dead. And having to wait an entire decade for them to slowly give each biome a few little additions make no sense. We need a big biome update, even if it's purely decorative. Not necesarily to differentiate them, but common stuff that could appear in any biome (birds, rocks, more plants, some animals...) I also think we need a completely challenging structure where there's a huge chance you'll die. Most structures either have some way to avoid the danger or are very easy to go through. Something like ancient cities but where you don't have to sneak around and be quiet.
Actually it's worst than that about the copper state. with the arrival of the Cave and Cliff update you have to dig deeper to find iron so copper can now be used to make tools
I love minecraft and how it's changed over the years. Your video excellently brings to light a lot of the problems we as a community have been facing but I feel like there is a bigger problem which I wish more people would talk about. The problem with world sizes and corruption. The greatest appeal to minecraft is the ability to build and grow the same world forever and see how it changes and progresses. But sadly most people can't do that due to files becoming too large. This is primarily and issue with bedrock edition, specifically realms. I've had two worlds now that I've played on for years, the first one died several years ago and I was unable to recover it though realms. So sadly we all made a new world which eventually became the greatest world I've ever been a part of making. Massive cities and hundreds of thousands of blocks traveled. But when you travel hundreds of thousands of blocks the file becomes "too large to download" according to realms. Then you start seeing corruption issues that force you to reset the world to a previous save over and over again to recover the world. Eventually, even that will stop working and the realm becomes impossible to save and load into. We just put to bed our world of the last 4 years because it got too big. I know most players don't make it that far but when a game starts to lose it's biggest fans to factors like that you know the game has a bigger problem. The game is advertised to be basically infinite but as soon as you cross some undefined boundary the world simply cannot handle it's own file size. So what's the point? If all the work we do will eventually overload the game, why play at all? Isn't minecraft supposed to be a game that never ends? It hurts to write this because I know in the grand scheme of things my world means nothing. But, when this keeps happening to people everywhere who put equal if not more into their worlds only to lose them it's proves my point. Mojang, stop trying to push us half completed updates and fix our game! Optimize the files and make the game run smoother before adding more content. You just added massive new world generation but haven't refined file sizes? We the community need to talk about this more in my opinion not just the watered down content. What are some of your opinions?
I kinda hate how they refuse to do anything with the late game. They’re always making new features for new players, but once you get deep in a world, there’s literally nothing to do, unless you do it yourself. Mojang has really got to refocus where they’re putting their effort it. Also, I just hate the way Mojang does stuff. They’re afraid to “hurt the environment” yet they let me punch and kill dolphins and pandas, but won’t add Fireflies because they could *potentially* harm Frogs, or Sharks because “they don’t want people to approach them or think they’re ruthless monsters” ok then… make them neutral to the player and they only attack if you get too close? I don’t hate the game, and I sorta don’t hate Mojang, but I hate where they are going… I’m not talking about the Chat Reporting feature. That would make me go into rant overdrive.
Mojang doesn’t want to encourage “bad” behavior, but then encourages kids to mess with beehives. And depending on the bees, especially the dangerous Africanized bee, it can lead to some kid dying. So by this logic bees are also bad, but Mojang doesn’t care.
"You have never made this" Me: if you say so *stares at the SMP I play on with a bunch laying all over the oceans and rivers for that underwater cave mining
I learned to hate Mojang when they changed the height and depth limits in Caves and Cliffs, which had the effect that it broke my old and heavily explored worlds by saying I was out of storage space. Never mind the fact I had enough space on my hard drive and that a different newer world that I started using, which quickly grew to the same storage size as the broken worlds, still works.
I'm willing to bet Microsoft acquisition of mojang really sped all these problems up. I'm also glad someone other than me took the time to complain about useless mobs.
I generally disagree with updates being lackluster "lately". From 2017 and thereon, updates have been quite huge with the exception of the wild update. I don't quite count the busy bees update since that was the second update in 2019 after the village and pillage update (which was a pretty big one considering it overhauled villages and added new village/villager types). Mojang has heard the people complaining about the wild update being lackluster and not having features that were promised and acknowledged it. They said they learned their lesson and would do certain things differently from there on. "Updates are taking a longer time to release and have a larger scope" I mean...larger updates obviously take longer to release, besides Notch released those little updates frequently because they were little and he had a smaller team (heck he was on his own in the first years of the game's release). That doesn't mean they're trying to keep the game as simple as possible. The elytra isn't easy to get your hand on obviously, so that still doesn't literally replace minecarts and boats and running around. There's balance to each new item. Mojang also fixed what you call an "inventory bloat" with new organization. Also calling lots of new items useless is a bit much. There are a crap ton of items i don't use much, if at all in minecraft and I could call them useless, however other people could be using them. Like gold tools and armor and dyes and colored wool. Besides Mojang can add more onto these items in later updates like in the nether update, having a gold helmet is no longer useless since it can keep you from dying in the nether. I still see no reason to use a gold pickaxe. The views on items being useless to you is subjective since it may not for others. It's all about making the game feel full of content and also aiding creativity for players who use creative mode. Also sure there are some animals that seem pointless, but have you maybe thought they were trying to add life to the game? I agree with the mob vote being not that great. A lot of of the problems with it comes with youtubers and content creators telling their fanbases to vote for this mob they want and yes the recent mob votes have had mobs that don't do anything for us players, so yes I do agree with a mob vote revamp or just discontinuation. Arguably the greatest minecraft update in my opinion would have to be the caves and cliffs update as a whole. The entire world and cave generation was revamped and everything is so much cooler. From narrow spaghetti caves to vast caverns that go way down to deepslate. Ores are both easier and harder to find now with this new ore disperse rate. I find a modest amount of iron and gold in caves, but not that much diamond in the caves. The mechanics of the terrain gen revamp are much more intricate than you think. overall, Mojang is doing great with updates, and does have things to learn too. In the last minecraft live, one of the developers promised 50+ years of updates to the game, and hell, that is exciting.
Would it shock you if I told you that anything you mentioned is completely pointless? You can still beat the ender dragon even if you do not explore or do everything you mentioned!
@@ybd and? You can beat the game in 10 minutes, if thats your definition of truly completing the game. Basicly nothing in minecraft works toward the dragon. And thats not a bad thing.
I bought the game when it was at the 1.9.2 version, it was cool and I liked it, but after the 1.13 update, nothing has made me say "Oh, that's cool", which is part of the reason why I left the game until 1.17 when I made a Survival world which I still have. The thing is, in my survival world, I never used or discovered the things that were added after 1.13, since I find them kind of boring and useless. I also have to say that I'm not a huge fan of the 1.18 update, the worlds generators are unrealistic and the mountains are so extremely high and the new cave biomes are just ugly, in my opinion. Sad to see this game on this path.
About the part at around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="610">10:10</a>. I have Minecraft on my computer, and it can only run at max 20 fps. It’s not a bad computer either, it can run other games with ease. With Minecraft though, it sounds like it’s about to take flight.
The 1.19 update encapsulates a lot of the problems I've had with Minecrafts recent development. Mojang bit off more than they could chew and had to split the update into 3. The Caves and Cliffs had features that actively discouraged exploring those caves and going underground. Underwater caves are way too common and are more of a hinderance than unique place. Making ores less likely to spawn when exposed to air is just straight up asinine. Look guys! We've made all these new caves and updated the ore generation! Cool. What did you change about ore generation? Uhhhhh we made it to where they are more common and ironically easier to find by strip mining! ...isnt that what you were trying to discourage? And then the Warden. As a hardcore player, I have never seen such a a disaster. Ah yes a mob with more health than the Wither, does more damage than the wither and enderdragon. Can two shot you with fully enchanted Netherite Armor. And even if you follow its rule of staying quiet can still *find you by sniffing you out even if you didn't move*. I slow clap at that failure of game design. Oh and insult to injury it drops a worthless item. There's a reason why one of the first new redstone chunk machines built was to make sure the warden couldn't spawn. The lack of communication and refusal to listen to community feedback is especially irksome. If you show off concept art and go into an in-depth discussion about what you would plan on doing with it, you can't just go back and say "Well we never said we would implement those features." That is chicken shit. Nowhere in those 2 hour showcases did you ever say "Oh by the way these are just ideas, we can't confirm these will be implemented." So to fall back on that excuse is just the ultimate cowardice. The whole environmentalism is a whole other can of worms. The fireflies is just a symptom of there complete lack of self-awareness when it comes to updates like that. Performance? I run a 3070ti with a 11600k i9 with 64 gigs of ram. On a server which at most had 4 people, I maybe had 60 fps on the newer updates. How much of this falls on Microsoft and how much falls on Mojang I don't know. The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle tbh. And as you brought up its sad because its like they take really good ideas and then don't know what to do with them, purposely dumb them down and make them forgettable and shallow, or get completely headstrong against community feedback. Partly why I've gone back to play modpacks from 1.7.10 and 1.12.2. Those updates might not have the bells and whistles or even a number of the actual good QOL items like honey but the modding community has made them so much more impactful and depth rich.
Caves and cliffs didn't have features that actively discouraged exploring those caves and going underground. Not really they are just common enough and aren't really a hinderance. No it isn't asinine at all and makes sense. They are not easier to find by strip mining, look into how it actually works and how it's distributed. The Warden isn't a disaster at all. Yes you aren't meant to stay too close to it. This isn't a failure in game design, it's just good game design you don't understand. Yeah you aren't meant to kill it, that's the point. Yeah that shit really did suck. That doesn't always happen though lately. Not all of them are more impactful and depth rich or better.
mojang should just work on things already in the game, I think minecarts should be faster than elytra to account for how railroads take to build My personal complains: Glow squid: literally glowstone + ink sac this mob itself sucks so hard.
You can't please all the people all the time. It's easy to point out the things you see as negative but they might be somebody else's positives. I feel sure that if you were to ask every player what their number one priority update would be you would probably get a million different answers. The cold hard truth is that Mojang is a business, it has to make money/ profit to survive but they are probably one of very few that interact so openly with their community. The most simple solution is, if you don't enjoy the game then don't play it.
