How I Fixed Survival Minecraft 

They need to add a battle pass then the game will be like fortnite and be finally good.

I practically jumped out of my seat when you suggested adding zombie horses to abandoned villages. I was just talking about how cool that would be the other day!

For me, it's been less "I have to get every enchantment for the sake of it" and more "enchantments mean better quality of life".

I would pay to have this whole video become a modpack

The part about enchanting just feels like you're romanticizing memories. Mojang added mending, anvils, grinding stones because people wanted to do more creative things in their survival games than being constantly grinding for diamonds to craft gear. Enchantment as it was was absolutely unfair and time consuming. You'd spend hours grinding for level 50, hours in the mines to get diamonds, all of that for rolling Bane of Athropods, it just wasn't right.

I loved how you didnt just go with the simple lazy solution such as "add more slots" thinging about the long term. Sprisingly (for me) I agreed with most suggestions here. Criminally underated. Keep it up!

I like the dragon breath idea, as it brings more attention to the secondary uses. You're far more likely to make a lingering potion if you just have a bunch of dragon breaths just laying around than if you had to go out of your way to collect the stuff initially.

This is the first of these "i fixed minecraft" type of videos I've seen that actually has good ideeas that fit the game and make sense within its current design philosophy, in stead of just turning it into somthing completely different. I came in thinking "oh god another one of these" but you actually did really great work on this.

I love all of these changes, I find starting a new world or server too daunting as I know I’ll just spend the first dozen hours trading or speed running elytra / creeper farms. After getting those I usually burn out

Just found you through cubicmetre’s announcement post. You have already become one of my favourite RU-vidrs! Thank you for this compelling and fix-focused video instead of falling into the common trap of just pointing out what’s wrong and just telling Mojang to fix it. Seriously love the vid.

I'm a fan of how many points of interests are around the world. Running through forests and plains for 10 minutes and not seeing anything notable is lame. I guess that changes when you're zooming around at the speed of light or just looking for open space to build a functioning redstone chess board. As someone that's never gotten that deep into minecraft tho, it's perfectly balanced to me

I couldn’t agree more. This is the most comprehensive and well thought out critique of Minecraft that aligns with Mojang’s current philosophy. I hope they hear this.

I disagree with the rocket fix, because that's mostly just a band-aid over the real issue. Making it more expensive isn't going to make players think about when they're using them, because they will still just stockpile rockets. The only difference it will make is that the process of stockpiling will be much more grindy, because you won't be able to just afk at a farm. You have to remember that given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game A better fix would be adding grappling hooks. If a player wants to have gain speed to fly infinitely, they should be able to, but they should have to interact with the terrain. Grappling hooks would be a more skill based solution that forces players to think about their surroundings to get an optimal swing to build up speed. It would also allow for paths of towers to be built between destinations to make swinging easier. Maybe you could also make rings that would give the player a speed boost, allowing for faster transport and even elytra courses for multiplayer servers where players can race and see who can get the fastest time, like that old minigame on the legacy console edition

On regards to horses falling off a cliff, I think a cool solution would be allow them to equip an elytra, but only allowing you to glide; no rocket boost.

The issue with capping the number of enchantments is that updates are always meant to allow you to keep your same world. This means that people will just try to craft as many god armors as possible before the update, and losing your last set of god armor and tools would feel horrible. You’d never be able to get back, thus a permanent debuff.

i absolutely love your take on enchantment balancing

I don't agree with all the changes suggested, but this is a really great video and you articulate the various issues with the game very well. A great contribution to the discussion.

Is it only me now desperately wanting to play such a version of the game?

Holy crap. Each and every of these ideas are truly amazing. Simply charging XP based on the output item, and having a total cap, allowing removal of a lot of the exclusivity in enchants is simply a game changer. In addition to the infinity/mending you used as an example, even protectiom types would not need to be exclusive. Another one of my favorites is allowing loot gear be enchanted above the maximum is to encourage exploring. The 3D end is also amazing. Litetally the only idea I am not in love with is elytra failing in the rain. I think rockets not working but still allowing glide would be a better choice than punishing players with a fall to the ground. I'm assuming you've been workimg on this masterpiece for a while since vilager curing discounts no longer stack as of 1.20.3. Such good solutions here.

Being forced to choose enchantments like slots from an RPG is genius. That brings gamestyle into play and I love it. The example with the agility and the heavy armor styles and both being able to defeat the other if played well over just the guy with most enchants wins... That's genius

You are sooo right. Enchantments can enable different play-styles. It would be really interesting to do stuff like that. Everyone starts the same but then you choose your class(or play-style) with enchantments.

Now someone make an update with all of these and wait for it to get more people playing it than vanilla

Green Jab’s ideas for enchanting are good, but I would like to add some of my own suggestions for enchanting: 1. Efficiency 5, silk touch and mending picks are possible to make, as instant mining is important to me. Unbreaking doesn’t have to stay on these though. 2. Too expensive limit is increased for fresh anvils and decreases when anvils take damage. 3. Higher cost enchantments will damage anvils more. 4. The repair cost has an asymptote at one below the too expensive limit, meaning it will never be too expensive to repair at an anvil. 5. Mending has 3 different levels, mending I is 67% effective, mending II is 100% effective (same effect as current mending), mending III is 150% effective. Effectiveness could be how much durability each bit of xp will add, or it could be how much total durability the item could be repaired to. 6. A fortuned sculk catalyst will occasionally drop a deep dark key that will allow access to vaults in the deep dark, making swift sneak and a new enchantment renewable. 7. Deep Miner and Hell Miner enchantments: Deep Miner will allow instant mining deepslate, provided the player also has efficiency V and haste II, but the pickaxe will take extra durability. It can be found in vaults in the deep dark. Hell Miner will reduce the chance for a pickaxe to take durability from netherrack. It is obtained from bartering. These enchantments are mutually exclusive.

the dragon's breath firework would be nothing but a minor inconvenience it sounds good in theory but it's really underthought just put a hopper and storage system below you as you collect the dragon's breath, and when you need more you can just grab from a chest

I like a lot of the ideas here, but not being able to get max level gear will probably just end up being annoying, people get mad at the exclusivity of the infinity enchantment so imagine having that annoyance applied to all your gear, ultimately I think people might just end up backdating to where you could get max gear, I know I would, or if stuck to the current version there would end up being meta tool enchant sets that ultimately leave some previously used enchantments to rot, like unbreaking is not as useful if you've got mending so nobody would use it which in turn just means more annoyance at having to farm exp or rifle through their chests for diamonds to repair their gear since nobody is going to let those tools actually break. Also grinding for multiple sets of gear especially netherite just sounds like a nightmare but that's partially due to problems with grinding for gear. I do enjoy the over enchanted artifacts thing, but I feel those could easily become sought after and possibly just even more annoying since instead of being able to make them you have to sift through structure after structure to find the one sword you're looking for. I can understand the dragon rockets but not flying in rain is just going to piss people off and makes the coolest part of the riptide enchant useless as it would be incredibly dangerous.

Moving container blocks has the possibility of creating insane lag machines, which is probably why they aren't in Java. Fill a chest full of book and quills full to the brim with complex ASCII characters, rapidly move it from one block to another, and watch as the server gloriously struggles to move so much data so fast. This is why I believe container data should be stored globally instead of inside the block data with only the position of the container needing to be updated. The only downside is that there could be a slight delay in seeing the items in a chest when playing on a server since they aren't automatically loaded with the chunk, but it could possibly speed up chunk loading as a benefit.

I really love your take on the enchantment and inventory problems. Making players choose which enchantments they want instead of being able to have them all in the same tool is a great idea. I also agree that the problem with the inventory isn't necessarily the lack of slots, but the lack of navigation between slots and storage such as shulkers (also making the bundle more useful for smaller builds where you don't need stacks of the same item, but a medium amount of many items).

Oh my god, this is so incredibly well made! Best video on improving Minecraft I have ever seen! Mojang please listen

Please suggest this in the Minecraft website and provide a link in the description so those who want to vote can do so. Though this will only work if there is a suggestion for each category of features.

43:45 that's actually the reason they changed it so everywhere templates can be looted, you always get at least 2. that way you necesarily will see one of them vanish on you before running out.

genuinely absolutely genius. if mojang implemented things like this (which they would never, far too scared to make changes that upset their player base) i feel like it would be incredibly difficult to argue minecraft isn’t one of the greatest games ever created. generally, all it needs is better balancing, and you generally provided excellent solutions.

Your anvil idea was the highlight of the video imo. The concept of having to choose between enchants (especially for pvp situations) sounds extremely fun!

Have to say the anvil rework ideas are very unique and sound like the best fix possible, without changing the core mechanic too drastically.

Pretty good ideas. I didn't expect to watch a hour long video about changes for minecraft because I've seen too many of those in the past and I wasn't interested in them anymore. That said you explained the different aspects really good

This is honestly a VERY fascinating change to enchanting! Remove the RNG aspects of the enchanting table that so many people hate dealing with by possibly replacing it with a reagents system, and you'd still have to go out and explore for your enchants! It just so happens to be a matter of finding a villager selling what you're looking for, or going on a more dangerous grind for a guarantee of getting the enchant you want.

I like the idea of loot having better enchantments, because that could also make the curses an actual trade off apposed to just limited to a dumb prank item for putting on pumpkins,

I’m rewatching this and this is such a good video. Really interesting way of approaching the different issues and your ideas are well thought out.

Perhaps to fix phantoms AND the end being basically not dangerous at all, make phantoms spawn in the end (like how they originally were meant to be implemented) but not in an annoying way that just knocks you into the void, maybe they spawn when breaking the end crystals, or during any of the dragon fight. I think the phantom membrane should see more uses too, I suggest a type of bed that can be used to skip the day instead of the night.

Maaaan I totally forgot how enchanting used to work. Kinda like that grind better than what we've got now, ngl

33:40 If I was going to change bundle, I would allow player to right click in inventory menu to open a separate window (like opening file explorer in Windows), moving it, close it, and while it is opened, interact with it by manually moving items from it directly to player's inventory.

On that topic, quickdraw should be added to the bow, power only able to be put on the crossbow, finally being able to add a spyglass to the crossbow, with different items to form crosshairs (spiderweb etc.) A flatter ballistic curve by making the arrow go faster with a crossboy and adding infinity to the crossbow as well, but at the same time reduce the maximum quickcharge level when used with power, so no quick charge on power V, quick charge I on power IV, quick charge II on power III as the maximum, this could be a really good tradeoff. Maybe create a triple crossbow by adding 3 together, to make up for quickfire, but having to use enchanted ones so that all three of them have to be enchanted equally? And definetely adding a quiver. There is no excuse to not do this, talking about inventory management. Also, making it not possible to enchant an item with unbreaking and mending simultaneously. These are all the changes I would make if I were to make a datapack for minecraft. It is also neccesary when thinking about these balancing changes to not disturb the building and redstone section of minecraft. Some of these overpowered features make it easier to express yourself in survival mode, let you be creative, which always was an very important part of the game. By the way, I also have a (partial) solution to the inventory problem. Simply removing all block variants! For example: You want to make a detailed stone brick wall. You begin by building up the whole wall with the normal bricks. Then you crack some of them with your pickaxe to transform them into the cracked variant. Right-click with moss to make them mossy, and with moss carpets for a less dense moss part, azalea bushes to make it have flowers etc. Moss can be removed with a single right-click with a brush. Then you take a new tool, the chisel. Hold right-click on the block to make it a chiseled variant, similar like using the brush on suspicious blocks. Left click to remove parts of the block that you don't want, essentially replacing slabs and stairs. The "bits" you removed, are not dropped as an item, but if you removed enough parts of the blocks to make up for a whole block, a whole block gets dropped instead. Vertical slabs everybody! Right-click with another block on the existing one to fill the gaps with the new texture. You can dye blocks with dyes to add a specific shade to them, essentially removing the block variants that are exaxtly the same except for the colour, whilst making things like blue-ish stone bricks possible. Make any block emit a very subtle light , by right-clicking with glowsquid ink. Now imagine building with this! It makes building a lot more immersive and enjoyable, you don't have to remember hundreds of different recipes to be able to make nice builds. A whole new experience, massively decreasing the inventory clutter, and making the hotbar a lot more easy to use. Also making you able to revert changes by doing another action, like using a water bottle on a block to remove the colour (if it had one) Also introduce the hotbar saving to survival, by just switching trough the inventory rows. What about every block being able to be converted into a trapdoor or door, by adding

For the enchantments, i really like the enchancement mod approach, where you can only put one enchantment on your gear but every enchantment isn't just a stat increase but it actually changes how the weapon works

I really dont see why mending is so hated, aside from its accessibility. If the book was easy to get, that would just be a great quality of life feature. Breaking a good pickaxe means you have to get a new one, which is a grind. Mending may be overpowered, but it also prevents the player from needing to grind for a new pickaxe every other mining session, making the game ultimately more fun. Saying that mending ruins the game just kinda gives of the energy of "Back in my day we had to walk 15 miles to get to school! Uphill! In the snow! Both ways! And we liked it that way!"

I love the enchantment idea

"These ideas are just unfun restrictions placed just for the sake of balance." Later "I know how to fix it. Here are some unfun restrictions for the sake of balance."

I play on a SMP where our border's 500x500 and we don't have access to the Elytra. It's so fun to use other forms of transport over a elytra, and i even made a tunnel system for us to get around more easily.

the camel and horse ideas were absolutely fantastic. nicely done on those

Honestly, if you ask me, trims should _not_ be so absurdly expensive to dupe in the first place. I can see why upgrade templates are so expensive, that makes sense; but trims are purely cosmetic. Duplicating one should not be more expensive than every diamond tool in the game and 3 of the 4 diamond armor pieces.

This is honestly the best take on fixing enchanting I've ever heard.

On the topic of Enchantments: I didn't see Curses being used for something a bit more than what we currently have. How about purposely adding Curse of Vanishing/Binding to an item (or if the item already has one); it would allow said item to get 1 whole enchantment? Like allowing a Chestplate to have Projectile Protection IV even if it already has Protection IV. This would make some Players consider using Cursed items or even put the Curse themselves on their item for more powerful Enchantments, but at a risk of losing it on death or being unable to be taken off until death (or both). This way; cursed items aren't just treated like trash and more like risky-but-rewarding items (it would also be a pretty interesting meta in Hardcore mode). Either that OR: Items that are found with Curse of Vanishing/Binding would always be Overenchanted, maybe even both.

That suggestion for how bundles could work is like, literally just that one backpack mod. You know the one.

Finally someone who understands what makes The End unique! They all say End should be exotic like the Nether, when there's so much more potential in desolate world of bare stone and structures clinging onto their past glory.

Haven't even finished the video, and I'm already in love with your ideas regarding enchanting. Seriously good stuff, Mojang should hire you

The problem with the unchanged inventory isn't that the number of blocks in the game has bloated - that is _a_ problem, but not _the_ problem - it's that the number of items you should be keeping on you has bloated. Consider, for a moment, all the items you'd probably have on you, and immediately available to you, at all times in the lategame. A full set of tools (maybe foregoing a sword in favor of just using an axe, like a true gigachad), a shield and/or totem of undying, firework rockets, ender pearls, at least one shulker box, ender chests, food, golden apples, at least one bucket, a bow and/or crossbow, arrows, a building block of choice.. I could strain my memory to go on, but suffice it to say, even with what I've already mentioned, that's like, half your inventory space gone.

Most of the enchantment and pvp stuff feels more like a critique of everyone’s play style rather than a critique of the game- 100% agree that we need a horse overhaul tho!

"It's a bird! It's a plane! Wait. We don't have those in Minecraft." Parrots, which are birds: Are you sure about that?

I enjoyed this video and all the potential solutions to the current problems in Minecraft, however I loved the outro the most. Very cool Green_Jab, keep it up and always do what you love :) b

Ridiculously amazing video, not only I agreed with pretty much everything in the video, but I love that you tried to not only account for more casual players but also for sweatier, more technical players like myself. I personally don't enjoy the mending changes because I feel they might slow down the rate at which I can build, but that might actually allow me to enjoy the process more rather than rush it. Only thing I really didn't agree with was elytras not working in rain; just imagine you are getting some items you need for a build some few hundred blocks away from your storage and mid flight a completely random and unpredictable rain hits, you fall from a hundred blocks in the air and splatter on the ground, not fun at all and feels super unfair. I would change it so elytras can still glide but fireworks don't work, however another thing I'd change is to allow rains to be skippable like thunderstorms by skipping. Outside of this small thing I would defo change, video is great and I am really looking forward to your content moving forward!

I remember when I used to be thrilled to find a village just hoping it had 1 diamond in it. In the newest updates I have searched dozens of villages but came away feeling so underwhelmed and disappointed. They don't really reward exploration anymore.

24:28 I think a good fix would be to allow you to duck on your horse to make you two two blocks tall. It would be cool and help with traversal

this is really the creativity Mojang needs. mods have done this for a decade now.

1 hour video from best youtuber? Im so excited!!

I like the inventory ideas! Though I also think it’d be useful to have a back clothing slot and add a backpack to expand that inventory. Other back equipment could also be added: a blaze powder-fueled booster for the elytra, a parachute, a large spool of thread to mark your path for easy backtracking, air tanks for longer underwater breathing.

if there's a turtle master potion with a buff and a debuff (more armor, less speed) there should also be a hog rider potion which gives you some kind of buff but only if you're on a pig. even the most seasoned PVPers will quake in their boots when they see the hog rider approaching over the horizon

It's finally here hype!

You'd call me a madman, but I would love for phantoms to spawn in groups of only one, and in between end islands in the End, instead of their spawn being connected with your sleeping, it doesn't make sense, it would be horrible to look for an end city because of the risk of being pushed into the void, but what's the fun of an adventure without danger? And exploring the end feels safer than any other place in the game, so a little bit of spice would be good in my opinion of course.

40:53 one of my ideas to fix the phantom is to decrease its health to 2HP (one heart) but also make it ignore 75% of enemy armor, this would make them more of a threat and less of an inconvenience, instead of the players waiting so it comes down, hitting it once and waiting again, a single precise arrow or a well paced sword swing kills it instantly

Another suggestion for firework rockets is to make them much less efficient (either less acceleration or shorter duration) when moving slowly, meaning take off takes a few more rockets but once in the air, keeping your speed up is normal. This encourages players to use the elytra for medium-longer journeys, or at least not spam it to move over a hill or go 100 blocks away.

This guy has all the references. Absolutely amazing video.

wow, loads of really great ideas here, i liked this a lot more than i expected! but i have a few problems with some of the enchanting changes and elytra nerfs.. i don't want the game to be grindy. i wanna actually play Minecraft, not grind for hours just to be able to actually play for a bit, and then have to grind more. however, i can definitely imagine people liking those changes too, and i understand that. having more gamerules to customize each player's experience is really great, in my opinion. anyway, really great video, imma go share it wiv ma friends now!!!

I love most of these ideas, and would love to try to incorporate as many as possible into some modpack one day

Everyone talking about how minecraft needs this update or that update but what it really needs is a quality of life update

The thing about being able to scroll your hotbar through your inventory, factorio does something similar! it isn't exactly the same since your factorio hotbar isn't tied to your inventory, and is rather shortcuts to items in your inventory basically, its extremely nice being able to have a different hotbar for each scenario you'll need to be frequently using different sets of items for

While I don't agree with most of your proposed solutions, I do agree that most of the things you proposed solutions for are issues that need resolved. Also, there were several ideas you had that were interesting concepts, even if I didn't think they should be the route Mojang should go to solve the problems.

The quality of this video is actually amazing. I see the effort and good editing without the uneeded 4 second attention span edits to keep me engaged. This is good, and the ideas you provide are really interesting, I think they could do a lot of good to the game. It's essentially based on slowing down the game a little bit and creating more playstyles avaible, which most minecraft veteran would be relunctant to in the beginning. But I think that slowing down is exactly what those veterans (like myself) need to stop burning out: actually taking the time to enjoy the game and do whatever the hell you want without having the fully min-maxed path to victory. It is when the game slows down that we start to have new ideas, and when the game becomes fun. I don't know why I wrote such a block of text, I just enjoyed the video I guess. So yeah... very cool :D

that new enchantment system idea sounds so much better than what we currently have

When it comes to the elytra, I think it should only work in the End. Not outside of it. I think it ruins the game way too much.

I've always felt that sleeping, as a mechanic, objectively making the game easier at very little cost to you is kinda poorly balanced from the outset. I think that phantoms' role should be inverted; they shouldn't punish you for _not_ sleeping, but instead punish you for sleeping too much.

All of these suggestions are amazing! Can't wait to see the modpack!

Transporting villagers with camels is such a goated idea.

You can’t use the elytra in water/lava on bedrock anyway, that’s a java only feature

Changing the gameplay for the enchantment system to revolve around making tradeoffs rather than grinding is such a good idea! It would be much more interesting to have God Gear be uncraftable, and instead have legitimate choice for what enchants to put on it. My personal preference for the repair mechanic, however, is to get rid of Mending entirely, along with the anvil use penalty. It's much more interesting and fun to need to get more of the same material to fix your gear than to sit at a mob grinder or the like.

This is so great, I’m glad to see other people discussing how to revamp the survival experience. The core issue with survival is that over time it has morphed into creative-lite. There are few challenges outside of the early game, achieving unlimited resources is not just feasible but mostly simple, and there’s a lack of meaningful choices players can make that actually impact gameplay. Stellar video, please make more!

I really like the enchantment idea. I feel like the biggest reason Mojang hasn't done it is for fear of backlash, changing core mechanics hasn't always worked in Mojangs favor.

I really enjoy starting a world and beginning from scratch in survival mode. The most fun part is chopping wood and crafting the first tools. Once I have a full iron set, I usually stop playing :D

It's refreshing to see a really well thought out deconstruction of many of Minecraft's problems without throwing out band-aid solutions. I may not agree with every detail of every solution proposed, but in general you present a direction I really hope the game moves towards. In regards to enchantments, I've always thought that players will always maximize whatever they are given, so even a system that limits "max enchantments" on a tool would be "maximized" to get the best value out of a tool. On the other hand, incentivizing more tools and armors for different situations only makes the inventory problem worse (although you do present a few good solutions to that too later on in the video). From that angle, I think the best solution for fixing enchantments is to make the grind for max enchantments to be as fun as possible, rather than a villager gui clicker game. I don't know exactly how to do that, but for example, letting chiseled bookshelves influence the enchantment table based on the books inside them would be a great step towards adding some depth and fun to enchanting (I could imagine the most dedicated players designing and building libraries out of redstone that could dynamically switch books around, thereby influencing the rolls of an enchantment) Specifically the idea of building out infrastructure that lets you make more powerful tools is appealing to me. I also wonder if the solution to mending is to made it (very slowly, as it mends) reduce the max durability of a tool, thereby putting a maximum (although very long) lifetime to a tool. As long as getting your tools back is fun, I think putting a lifetime on all tools is ok, and it prevents players from leaving entire game play systems once they find some mending books.

Honestly, even the shield is frankly overpowered.

6:42 BRO I WAS EXCAVATING AN ANCIENT CITY, THIS GOT ME LMAO

As I see it, the main complaint is that optimal play is boring. Your suggestions seem to be focused on balance changes, which sometimes touch on this issue, but not always for the better, and never actually address the core problem. Some of these make for more interesting build decisions, like the enchantment overhaul, but others of these just add more chores, like the rocket recipe requiring a tedious grind. Making more things viable is all well and good, but you haven't analyzed why the progression itself sucks so much. There are some principles that require consideration: - Extrinsically reward interaction with fun mechanics more than boring ones. - Don't waste the player's time, especially by putting chores in the way of the fun stuff. - Replace boring linear progression with branching specializations. Methods of achieving these principles with examples: *Reduce and repurpose redundant systems:* - What benefit is there to having 3 different mechanics that let you mine blocks faster? We have upgrading the material of the pic, enchanting the pic, and setting up a beacon, all to increase a single stat. Instant mining feels wonderful, so just let a netherite pic axe instant mine any appropriate material. Let enchantments function only to affect the way a tool is used, like silk touch and fortune. Let beacons have more interesting effects that aren't available to other systems, like limiting or altering mob spawns and other behaviors. - A good example of a mechanically different change to mining is TNT. Its use and power are drastically different, allowing for novelty that simply adding speed to the pic axe can never match. - Similarly, having weapon and armor enchantments that just increase the damage or resistance is boring, and it makes them mandatory instead of meaningful. Sweeping edge is a cool enchantment with its own benefits and drawbacks, and the trident has a lot of versatility already. Thorns, knock back resistance, movement speed, jump height, and improved regeneration are all more interesting mechanics than simply upping the defense numbers, though I do see some value in specializing certain resistances if they are very powerful. - I'd also trim down the number enchantments by making them apply across item types instead of having their own versions. Flame, fire aspect, and fire resistance could all be one enchantment, for example. I'd especially like it if burning arrows lit up dark places, even if it's just where they land. Punch and knock back are the same concept, so make it one thing, and let it be knock back resistance when placed on armor. - Reduce the number of levels of enchantments. Once again, linear progression is boring. Each one should have its use, rather than being a weaker version of something else, or a part of a long grind. - Make most defense enchantments limited to the chest plate, but make them 4 times stronger. Now you don't have to grind up the levels to apply 4 copies of protection 4 for every set of armor. This also make elytra a bit riskier. *Streamline cumbersome systems:* - Letting food stack was a huge step forward in this regard. - The inventory upgrades we've gotten are quite powerful, but they're super clunky. If we could just see the contents of a shulker box and transfer items to and from it while its inside the player's inventory, we wouldn't have to go through 1) opening the inventory to place the box on the hotbar, 2) closing the inventory to place the box on the ground, 3) accessing the box's inventory to transfer items from the box to the player, and 4) exiting the inventory to break the box and pick it up. Steps 1 and 3 would be combined into a single step, and none of the others would be necessary. - I've thought for a long time that a crafting table should be an upgrade for the player character that lasts for a life. You often need to craft on a 3x3 grid away from home, but keeping the table in your inventory clogs up precious space, so they get left everywhere. It just adds another step to crafting, and I don't find it necessary or fun. - I've also wondered for a long time what the point is to having so many tools. Why must we carry both a shovel and a pic axe for digging up terrain? In real life, tough dirt often requires a pic before it can be shoveled anyway. We've seen from Terraria that combining these functions has only positive consequences. I think the tool belt is a good idea too. There could even be a button that automatically selects the correct tool type for the block the player is facing, though you'd still have to be careful to select the correctly enchanted pic axe. - Instead of rounding up and imprisoning villagers, I'd rather enchantments work kind of like how armor trims do now. You get access to them from exploring, but you don't lose access to the specific enchantment when you use it. This way, you expand your library of available enchantments as you play the game, and interacting with the systems is MUCH less tedious. Though for both armor trims and enchantments, I'd make applying them cost a resource instead of consuming the item, stopping players from accidentally destroying their rarest items. Villagers could still be a source of enchantments, but players would only need to get each book once, instead of kidnapping the entire villager and farming resources that can be sold for emeralds and all that. *Cut out bad ideas:* - Phantoms suck. Just get rid of them. Not everything is worth the effort of reworking into something good. - Dumping your inventory on the ground when you die ranges from annoying to heartbreaking. Let players just drop their items into a container on death.

Your enchanting rebalance ideas are so fucking good i’ve never seen a video that i wanted them to add this much

1. The anvil idea for enchanting is good, i like the idea of having a limited amount of enchantments. Too add onto it, they can add a lot more smaller enchantments, that are unique. Anything you enchant has 10 points you can use. Heres a list Swiftness 1 (+20% walking speed and running speed) (requires 2 points) Jump 1 (+0.5 blocks) (requires 1 point) Scavenger 1 (arrows can be picked up even after hitting the enemy) (requires 2 points) Slowness 1 (slows the enemy down when hit. Can be put on weapons only except for bows. Slows the enemy down by 50% for 2 seconds) (requires 2 points) Deficiency 1 (can be used to slow enemy attacks. Can be put on weapons only. Skeletons, creeper explosion, blazes, and piglins all attack slower by 25% for 2 seconds (requires 2 points) Also think phantoms should be tameable and can be like what dogs are lol but fly

Those are very brilliant ideas and a mesmerizing video quality. The fact that you created a footage and found a mod for every topic/example makes this video amazing! I would absolutely love to see a full mod of the said changes.

If you want such a unique combination of partial enchants to be quirky and unique and different, then nobody is stopping you right now. Don’t ruin the experience for everyone else by forcing those limitations to be the only way.

Minecraft is like tf2. The games are, by themselves, great. But the true beauty and fun to both games is not in the games themselves, but the people in them, the people you play with.

after the changes to netherite upgrade being way more expansive than it used to be, I don't think making people craft multiple tools for multiple jobs is a good idea anymore.

If they were to update this it wouldnt effect some players who have like 8 extra max sets

Finally found some time to watch it all. Such a good video, so many good ideas. You did a great job man!

I think horseshoes should be added to the game if for no other reason than to give frostwalker to horses.
