Mojang, Where is the End Update? 

In my brain, 2015=3 years ago

@@kevinwheeler4061 3x that lmao

That’s partly because there’s nothing in the end. Only reason to even go to the end is to get the elytra and a single shulker for a shulker farm.

I agree and can u also add that wolf variants and wolf armo(u)r, since they are pretty much finished, finalised and perfected, they are probably going to be released in 1.20.5 okay thx.

What % of players give a damn about trial chambers or hell even the archeology mechanics.

I mean I do since I think Minecraft chambers are actually amazing and a great addition to the game

Also the archeology mechanics are kinda okay, they're not the best nor the worst but adds more replayability and stuff to do to Minecraft

Hmm, probably is.

This gave me an idea. What if instead of travelling in the end to find a biome. The biomes will spawn in islands above the end. And the player can only reach their with an elytra. Also, there should be a special elytra boosting rocket that can be found in the end and only works there.

You aren't wrong, but this argument also. Applies to the nether, with its hellish esthetic, and it wasn't that much ruined. The real reason the end can't really be updated is that most propositions don't understand the main problem of the end

@@minestar2247 well the nether still looks pretty much hellish, it's ambience and thematic didn't get worse. They could add just a few things to the end and with care

@@lucasmatthiessen1570 bro is correct and if we get a new structure which connects outer islands to the new end

well that doesnt really reflect mojang’s creative direction as theyve already made an updated end in minecraft dungeons

Agreed.

less gooo

imagine there was ender omen in 1.21 it would add a ton of things to the end ender omen will make the end harder to defeat now to activate it if u Already defeat it is respawn it then something will happen to the towers they will all be protected and adds more health to the ender dragon

@@sayemahmedjMinecraft Dungeons Echoing Void is the End Update for Mojang to adapt it already adds new biomes, blocks, structures, mobs, and it's already part of Official Minecraft Lore.

That's what people thought about the nether update, everyone loved it. It didn't fit the simplicity of Minecraft yet they still did it because people wanted it

@@danielduke832 okay it’s just what I think from my mind don’t explain it it’s just what I think from my mind

I HATE all those videos that say the end mods should be the end update The end ISN'T THE NETHER. IT'S LITERALLY THE END OF THE WORLD. NOT FUCKING HEAVEN

dude you have better english and grammar then most people who have spoken it their entire life 😂

It's very good English, but one problem. The nether update was 'one of the most stressful updates' and this obviously tired them. If they are going to do another, it's gonna be a bit small, because they have ptsd from the nether update.

Or maybe very small patches of biomes that when bone mealed spread like wildfire That way we can keep the barren feel and have a motivation to explore

@the.axolotolgirl that’s actually an awesome idea!!

they've stated before that they are going to update all of the dimensions before adding any new ones, so with the implications of a sculk dimension i think we'll probably be getting the end update relatively soon, like at the very most in 1.23 if 1.22 won't be it

There's a twist. They're making the ender dragon harder than before and is also adding new features and textures to the end and the dragon itself! So give it time, it will happen. Eventually.

well not really

also, i think the reason they wouldnt add an end update is because the end is supposed to be literally "the end". a barren wasteland devoid of life, because theres nothing more after "the end". does that make sense? or maybe im just yapping

That is true that there's nothing more AFTER the end. But why not maybe add stuff IN THE End itself? Since the community wants it so much as well

@@miro_theburgerIt can still be dead and void with new biomes and enemies. Try Nullscape, Stellarty, or Eldrich End. All revamp the end in different ways to bring flavor to the end without destroying the dead void concept of it.

Or possibly a Void or Darkness Blaze? I imagine it will look like chorus fruit for some reason

@@miro_theburger they can probably still make it dead but they could add a secret way to open a portal to a different part of the end which u can open by getting key or smth on a small ender island which are rare. in that different part of the end it will be cooler

I hope It's going to be cool in 2038.

tbh 1.21 was not as bad as previous they are trying harder but i really hope they update the end in a way where it still feels like empty but not really empty just mysterious

1.21 is the best update we had since 1.16

​@@PhoenixHeist34 Caves and cliffs?

Oh Yeah I Hear The Similaraties

Hehe thanks man appreciate the kind words❤️We are all waiting for an End Update

bro they split it because of covid 19 now the pandemic is over and covid is a lot weaker so they dont need to divide into parts

Nobody reading all that

@@DZag6149sorry if it’s too long. But just to simplify. Endermen are not corrupted humans. They’re goo monster who are trying to destroy the overworld. Also, the end is actually the future of the overworld where the endermen took all the blocks. Not another dimension. If you wanna know why. Read the full comment.

@@lucasmatthiessen1570 That is so much better for other people now

Now you are wondering, why did my main comment was about my Bedromcraft world and my complaint about 1.21 have ANYTHING to do with a possible End Update with the community shouting about it that will never end? Well, my complaint with 1.21 is that the content feels small in general as well as with its features. Looking at it all and the previous updates, I have a strong gut feeling that the 15 Year Anniversary in May will NOT only have the release of 1.21... but an announcement of 1.22 with also a 2024 release. It has been 3 "good" years since we previously have had a year with 2 major updates with the last being Caves & Cliffs Parts 1 and 2 in 2021, I think now is never a better time to do it again to acknowledge and celebrate the milestone. And if you noticed something, we are celebrate 15 Years in 2024, not 2026... so the anniversaries are from when Minecraft was first made in Infdev which is 2009. And if you look at 2019, the 10 Year Anniversary was indeed *1.16* Nether Update. If you are wondering what update occured for 5 Year Anniversary - it was the *1.8* Bountiful Update in 2014. While I don't recall it being celebrate in that year, it was the final major update that Notch made before Microsoft purchased Mojang and the head senior developer role got switched to that silky smooth ginger haired Jens which got switched again in 2019 with the now loveable Agnes. 2014 was when Console Editions of Minecraft was released... and died off in 2019. The Bountiful Update added and introduced a LOT of things that would practically be normal now in Minecraft like the Alex skin as a default which is actually the -silky ginger smooth- ... Jens. Ocean Monuments and its mobs and blocks, Endermites, Spectator Mode, Banners, Armor Stands, Iron Trap Doors, Rabbits, Mutton dropped from Sheep, and of course - every Redstone Engineer's favorite block - the... -piston- Slime Block. The Bountiful Update is least talked or celebrated about because of the Microsoft Acquisition of Mojang. If you look at Sonic The Hedgehog, the recent releases are usually announced and released at anniversaries. *Sonic Frontiers* in 2022 to celebrate 30 Years, *Sonic Forces* & *Sonic Mania* in 2017 for 25 Years, *Sonic Generations* in 2011 for 20 Years, and (sigh) *Sonic '06* in 2006 for 15 Years. For games that has been releasing updates and entries of their franchises to the point that we are acknowledging milestones, the game developers will WANT to give something back and do a BIG Update. And we all know what we want to see to celebrate 15 Years of Minecraft... and that is definitely not a Combat Update 2.0... it is an overhall to The End... in particular, the Outer End Islands... aka what Java and Scottish players would say - *The End Highlands* (plays bagpipe sounds). The last update that we had that significantly changed to the dimension was *1.9* Combat Update all the way back in 2016, and we are approaching what would be in a couple of years be 10 years since it had no change. The reason why not many would visit The End Dimension is that a lot of the newer and returning players that played Minecraft since that update only thinks that The End was only one BIG island and nothing else with it being designed as a way to Fight The Dragon and end the story. They never think to actually look around them to see the End Gateway portal. They wouldn't piece together that you can craft End Crystals and placed it so that you can do the fight again. And that is because the update itself had a HEAVY emphasis on Combat instead of The End Dimension. So much like the Bountiful Update, people would think that The End has always been part of the game instead of "WHAT!? There's More?!". Forgotten because the updates it receives weren't themed around it which explains why The End Highlands are largely forgotten unless you are out looking for Shulker Boxes and Elytra.

⁠i aint reading all that

Now you would be wondering why I believe 1.22 being not only potentially be The End Update but also releasing late this year in 2024. The simple answers is the 15 Year Anniversary and the scales of the previous updates since the 10 Year Anniversary. Now, I an aware that 1.16, 1.17 and 1.18 were stressful for the developers. *1.16* Nether Update was stressful due to 1.15 being released literally 6 months prior to it, and they literally had to add in 4 new biomes, a couple of new mobs, new blocks, a Respawn Anchor, Netherite and its functionality, and of course Piglin Bastions. Of course you would all be stressed out if you had to try and get it working to the approved quality and have it work on Bedrock as well as Java. Bedrock literally caught up to Java in terms of update naming in the previous year. *1.17* and *1.18* Caves & Cliffs Updates was released in 2021 which was the peak of the pandemic. So of course working from home was going to be a struggle for the developers. They also were VERY under-estimated with their plans that they have planned when they showed these features in 2020 that was originally intended for 1 update. The scale of a cave generation overhall, the new cave biomes, world height increase, ore redistribution, and on top of that, the Biome Vote that requested overhalling the Mountains due to some funny Goats. That along with The Warden, the Deep Dark and Archaeology that they showed off in 2020... it was DEFs not going to be done in 1 update. They went OVER ambitious on their plan and it backfired back at them which is why updates currently since Caves & Cliffs has been mostly on the small to medium scale. If the over ambition is considered as Strike 1 for the developers, Strike 2 immediately happens with the following update of *1.19* - The Wild Update in 2022, the update that has been mocked by the Minecraft community as being *_"not wild enough"_* and they have broken a couple of promises which forced them to be open about it to them. One was that they showed the concept art of an overhall to a Birch Forest that never made it to the development stage of the update. The other is one concept that did get to that stage that got scrapped which upsetted the community yet again, that being the *Fireflies* and its whole debacle due to those glowy bugs actually being poisonous to none other than Frogs which got added in 1.19. Since the Buzzy Bees, the developers has been staying true to any real animals that do make it in to Minecraft, and that goes down to what they eat and can't eat. They realised that feeding Parrots food that contains chocolate is actually poisonous to them and they added that detail into Minecraft that you can murder them with that sugary treat as well as having Seeds be their preferred food. The Bees, yeah... if you get stung by them, not only will you get poisoned by their stinger but also their stinger breaks off and much like real life, bees will die after losing their stinger after a short while. Out of all of that, Frogs is where they draw the line to the point that they prefer to eat Slime instead. Now that I think about it, it does make sense why since you typically find that glowy bug in swamps and has been the most incorrect story trope when thinking of Frogs and their eating habits. Many players were upset about the removal of Fireflies since the developers could've just simply remove that little detail and have that mob be an ambient mob that you can use as a light source. Mojang has been listening to community feedback during 1.19's progress and its release and realised that the community is completely upset about the update as a whole. With that, they started becoming more transparent and not only talk but show development of their game updates from concept to release, and because of their mistakes of over ambition and broken promises... that is when they decided to put a foot down and outright listens to the feedback. They only showed features that are already well into the development stages and in their dev builds of the game, and only announce the update's title when all of the features that will be in the update is shown off in that stage. Plus they also focused on having it be available for community playtesting with Experimental Previews for Java Snapshots and Bedrock Betas to get that feedback. They probably had these ideas for a good while, but getting additional input from many players can help add in balancing and extra additions to the features that they can fit in before the inevitable bug fixings of the last month or two before it gets ready for release with the game's retail build. It takes time due to practices of both Xbox, Nintendo and PlayStation requiring testing of the updates to catch any last minute platform exclusive issues before it gets the all clear. If it is severe, it would take additional bug fixings before it is ready for an all platform release day. I have seen games like No Man's Sky that releases BIG updates on different days for different platforms rather than all at once. The newest Orbital Update for NMS was a complete upset for Xbox and Switch players cause they had to wait to well after Easter to get the update that Steam and PlayStation had got before Easter. So if you are wondering why won't Mojang hire modders that can do it in 1 day, well they do but they have a standard that they have to meet in terms of quality and performance... and it has to work on ALL platforms. It is practically impossible to add mods to games on consoles. Ask The Sims 4 modders and Minecraft Java modders and they'll say the same thing. Bedrock Edition finally has mods but are more marketed as a way for creators to monetize and make money out of them in the Marketplace + they are called Add-Ons. It isn't at the point that Creators can easily make anything. There is some restrictions and rules that they have to folow, but once the restrictions are lifted, it'll probably blow up just as much as Skin and Texture Packs.

I don't know why I read all of your comment, but good luck with your projects in Bedromcraft :)

After all of that heavy discussions about development. You can see now why since 1.16, the updates has genuinely been on the small to medium scales due to the multiple mistakes the developers did that forces them to restructure how updates are released and with heavy emphasis on community feedback and transparency. So far, the updates for 1.20 has been genuinely positive and 1.21 seeing to being positive on the same levels as 1.20 with the community feedback. They listened and learned what makes the players feel happy and willing to play Minecraft again. They manage to get a couple of Singles if we are going off baseball terminology with the updates. With all of the features (except Bundles) that they showed in 2020 being released now in 2023, where do you go from here in 2024 - especially with it being Minecraft's 15 Year Anniversary. The stuff that we are getting for 1.21 have mostly been stuff that we got to play with that was announced since October 2023. They didn't mention anything that is in the future due to their ambitious mistakes with Caves & Cliffs which took them 4 updates in 3 years. The answer is pretty straightforward, and there is plenty of evidence that shows that Mojang is actually working on 1.22 as well in the background in secret, and it is all down to how 1.21 was presented and the features it has compare to previous updates. *One* is that the update feels small in scale with its features being heavily focused on a theme that wouldn't cater to all players. In this case, 1.21 is focused on combat with Trial Chambers with better loot, and is also an overhall function to the *_Bad Omen Effect_* from 1.14 update. It is clearly catered toward combat players over the other types of players like the casuals and the creatives. True, we got a revolutionary redstone block, but if you are not a redstone engineer and a casual that plays on for example Peaceful, you only have decorative blocks. The best updates that players remember such as Update Aquatic, The Nether, Village & Pillage, Caves & Cliffs, and Trails & Tales has all been catered equally to a wide variety of players. So the update feeling like there's not much for everyone shows that 1.21 was NOT meant to be the big one update of the year that we all got accustomed to since the infamous The Wild Update. *Two* is that 1.21 at its full feature completion did NOT include a new biome. If you haven't noticed, The Nether Update and its future updates included at least 1 new biome in each update. 1.16 had 3 with its Nether biomes, 1.17 had Dripstone & Lush Caves, 1.18 has the new Mountains & Cliff biomes, 1.19 has Mangrove Swamp and the Deep Dark, and 1.20 has the Cheery Grove. If you look back before 1.16, the last update that did NOT introduce a new biome was the 1.15 Buzzy Bees Update which was announced in 2019 ALONG with the announcement of the 1.16 Nether Update. They were working on 2 UPDATES which corrolates to their stress of the development crunch which only escalated with the start of the pandemic mid-way through development of 1.16. And if you look at the scale of the Buzzy Bees Update, it was incredibly small. And if that for some reason doesn't scream a big red flag saying to you that they have been working on 2 updates in the background then... *Three* is Minecraft's change in video content on their socials. Before the 1.13 Update Aquatic, their videos on their channels used to be focused on update trailers and videos of official skin and texture packs. Since 1.13, the scale of their video posts has been drastically increased to include development videos, lore videos, Minecraft Live videos, and especially now Minecraft News videos. The last one is especially important since apart from Minecraft Live, they have recently been uploading a news video called *_Minecraft Monthly_* which showed off recent of new development progress as well as ANY new announcements of features coming to the current update. And since that series has been started well after The Nether Update, who knows if the 15 Year Anniversary will be when May's Minecraft Monthly be happening AND be when they'll announce 1.22... well before Minecraft Live this year. And based on the scale of what we want to see happen to The End, we actually don't need to wait a whole year to get the next update. They can do it in 6 months like with The Nether having it release in the Holidays like with 1.15 and 1.18. Having 1.22 be announced on a Minecraft Monthly not only gets the attention of the viewers and the players, they can easily announce 1.23 at Minecraft Live this year and have it release in Summer 2025. With the new Experimental toggles as well as Bedrock Previews and Betas, the game can maintain interest between updates without the worry of a content drought. So if you are wondering when we will get an update to The End Dimension announced, I actually don't think we will need to wait as long as you think for it to happen. We only need a name for 1.21 + a bunch of bug fixing which is happening as we speak and we will be done with 1.21... with my guess being May for its release to coincide with the 15 Year Anniversary. And if 1.16 was announced alongside with 1.15 for the 10 Year Anniversary can mean something, it is that Mojang has indeed changed structure and can definitely work on 2 updates yet again as a celebration! It makes total sense why we are getting a minor update for 1.20 with the Armadillos and the Dog Armor as a way to keep us entertained just incase there's been hiccups with the bug issues which would cause it to be delayed to days or weeks after the anniversary. With the structure and the scales of these small to medium updates that we got now, I think Mojang is all set as long as they keep it up with the routine with the help and input of the community feedback. They got a big team, they got content for their socials, they are all set with the only thing being to keep maintaining it and to not make terrible mistakes like we got with Caves & Cliffs and The Wild Updates. That level of transparency, feedback and content is something that some game companies are doing now, and it should be that way for nearly all game companies. The game industry now realises who they're competiting against, it isn't other game companies, it is the community and the creators that plays their games. If we aren't happy, we will tell them that we aren't happy and if they don't change their ways they'll lose their player base. Simple as that. We stopped Loot Boxes in the late 2010s which forced them to do Battle Passes due to the height of the Battle Royale genre. Now in the mid-2020s, we as the gaming community are now discussing and criticizing Battle Passes and their monetize structure which in its current states gives everyone FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and its being unfair to players that WANT to choose what progress they want to work towards getting the goodies from without FOMO and without the price tag. Just have us unlock the Passes with in-game currency and add new ones for each exciting update.

In short. The end is meant to be a barren and lonely place. Honestly, I don’t think the end does a good job of that. It’s still possible to add life to the end while keeping it barren. What they could do is change the generation of islands so that they can generate higher or lower. And the only way to get to those islands are with an elytra. Or maybe an end version of a strider. If they want to add biomes then maybe the biomes can spawn either inside the islands or in islands that generate in layers above the end plains. Also, I heard someone say that maybe there can be a small part of a biome that when bone mealed will grow into an entire biome. But the real reason we want an end update is so there can be more reasons to come back to the end. Because once you’ve got an elytra, shulker box and dragon head. You won’t need to come back there anymore.

​@@lucasmatthiessen1570 In my opinion, I don't think it needs more life than it already has, though it'd be nice if there was a bit more to explore. Given that it seems that it was meant to once be inhabited by some sort of life, it'd be nice if there was more showing the history of the End. But hopefully, regardless of what happens, that a bit more than what we have been getting comes out eventually.

i mean i am mad at the fact that mojang has been continously updating the overworld so much at this point theres too many stuff in the overworld. they should start working on something else

u seriously think we are gonna wait 100 years to get an update?

​@@MrBreast-gc4ziPeople who said a Cave update would never come have been real fucking quiet the last few years

Horses, Pistons and many other core features started as mods. Truthfully speaking Minecraft is a game of mods.

@@darth3911 atleast those features are minecrafty when most of the mods overhaul minecraft a lot

those were added wayy in the early days before minecraft had any sort of direction

@@fldom4610 Not really, most overhaul mods are stuck in the old versions or died off. Majority of mods nowadays bring parity to Minecraft between different features. This includes making Java more like Bedrock, adding variants for all wood blocks and or items, expanding stone and brick types, reworking glass and lastly adding lava logging. Very few total overhaul mods are still alive I only know of epic fights, twilight forest, modern aether offshoot mods, the physics mod, and lastly minecraft comes alive. Those mods account for the majority of modern mods that heavily add new features or rework existing ones beyond vanilla style.

@@fldom4610 Reason why so few mods overhaul the game is because it doesn’t bring in money. Small mods are quick and easy to make and maintain and thus more profitable. To truly overhaul the game in modern versions you’d need at least 50 mods instilled.
