Special thanks to YOU for checking out my content! - เกม
In case you don’t make it to the end of the video, I want to announce content is slowing down. I want to make larger, bigger videos with longer run times. I’ll be leaving home to visit my family this week, so this is the last video for a week or so.
This marks a pretty significant shift in my content and I’m working toward doing more of the work that I want to make. In the mean time, feel free to join either (or both) of my discord servers to hang out with fellow fans or even play on my Minecraft server. ❤
Good luck on the change!
mojang is not mojang microsoft gutted them and turned it into somthing else.... they are doing this with blizzard too :) just lost its founder and mike 2 of the most loved people in the company microsoft is outsting. They do this to near all publishers/studios they buy out.... They are a monopoly they buy competition instead of innovating to beat its competition. Most law firms have microsoft labled as a monopoly due to this and old lawsuits :) so yea if you think minecraft will get anything meaningfull look at story minecraft..... its bearly minecraft....
🎉🎉🎉
1:47 its incredibly rare but you can get brown mooshooms from breeding two red ones
What really bugs me is they *didn't* update swamps! They just added a new, super rare OTHER swamp with shiny new content, while the old ones still have nothing but oak trees and lilypads.
Same
To be honest... It wasn't a swamp it was mangrove, which is obviously not the same. But I do agree they should give a glow up for the older biomes, at least with a bit more variations on trees and such would be cool
Yeas
I like that they are separate, which is a hot take I know. It makes the world more lively because there are definitely different kinds of swamps and it's better they don't generalize them into one biome.
@@arcanine_enjoyer that’s a good point
I want more particle effects that are tied to biome. Fireflies would be a good one that's tied to swamps exclusively. Give me a reason to build in anything other than a planes biome.
So essentially the “fireflies” would be a biome particle similar to how warped fungus biome has the spore particles?
im so pissed they didnt add fireflies because theyre "poisonous to frogs" cocoa is poisonous to parrots, and feeding them cookies kills them in game.
True! Falling leaves in forests, gusts of sand in deserts, ripples in oceans... Right now a lot of biomes feel cluttered or completely empty.
Mojang removed fireflies because they were poisonus to frogs in real life, and the next thing you know is that there is an in-game feature where you can poison parrots with cookies, that can also happen in real life.
Camels can't drop anything other than xp maybe, but a polar bear can drop around two or four salmon and cod, polar bears being a ecologically vulnerable species of bear. Even if Jeb added polar bears because his wife liked them, still, still.
Why does Mojang say it would take a "long time" coding all the mobs from the mob votes in, yet they have literal prototypes of certain mobs like the old Warden in the works, alongside with some additional mobs in past and recent updates. They may be a big and slow corporation, but they have the time to do such things in a short period of time. So what's preventing them from doing so, the team, Microsoft, or something outside?
Sometimes taking slow steps is good, but when there's controversy behind, you can't catch up. The snail tries to escape a predator, the predator is faster because its prey move around, the snail is slower because the vegetation is all around.
@@pumpkinpiesoupcatyeah and swords are poisonous to every creature, and witch potions are poisonous to US.
I think the end needs a big biome update, specifically alien looking eery but not nescessarily dangerous biomes, just unique alien biomes that don't look like just "forest but purple" like every end upgrade mod does
I totally agree, I think too many end mods are too bright and lively, and don't play enough into sort of eerie strangeness of the end. Maybe stuff like hives and biomes that hang from the bottom of the island, or maybe even a geyser biome.
I like the end as it is in Minecraft dungeons, it’s pretty unique. I’m not sure why they can’t just add what’s in that game to the base game.
I think end islands need more variation in their shapes and generation.
I think the end would be more interesting (maybe more tedious) with just the addition of more significant elevation changes between the islands
Take the xen inspired aesthetic and actually do something with it. Because as of now it has nowhere near the charm of the place it was most likely inspired by.
Birch forest is a MUST, especially how common they are and how beautiful that concept art was
Yeah
One thing I disagree about is reusing existing wood for palm trees. Palm trees IRL are actually very unique in that they're technically not even trees, they're closer related to grass than trees. Because of this, their wood is quite different from the typical tree, an example being is they don't have tree rings. I agree that Minecraft is loaded with wood varients and it really doesn't need anymore, but it would be so disappointing if Palm trees were added and it was just like every other tree with how different they are in real life.
Yea, it would be a really big missed opportunity if they just used jungle wood, there’s so much potential for palm trees/coconut etc, maybe it will introduce oil maybe they will have a future biome rework that will change generation to make it more continental again so we get cooler beach generation
Idk, they made trees out of mushrooms
@@davidlz830 that's more of a fantasy thing. It's a tree sized mushroom, not a tree made out of a mushroom
The new mountain generation is cool but I still think it should not be around the whole world and instead in more mountainous terrain
@@fennecishere Its an overgrown mushroom... Of which stem you can use as wood and it also acts like wood does.
Maybe the mushroom caves can have like, glowing mushrooms, that grow from all 4 sides (not just ground, from walls and ceiling too)! That would be hella cool
Why?
It would definitely add to the atmosphere! I'd like to have more glowing variants of things for the caves!
more variation to mushrooms are definitely a good idea.
Toadstools, of course. There could be poisonous mushrooms that resembles a real life poisonous mushroom in real life.
Not only brown mushrooms and red mushrooms but also other colors, tall, low, a patch of it, a harmful one that damages you when you touch it, actually cookable one thats a good food source
Yeah maybe Minecraft could just be Terraria
@@seancooper4058 I didn't know that was in Terraria!
I think it would be prudent if Mojang takes like, 2 years to do a COMPLETE overworld overhaul. Improve a bajillion features and add in 2-3 new biomes for basically "Minecraft: The Update That Changed The World - Part 2"
Of course, have snapshots be a weekly thing so that the community is actively involved, but the overworld needs a complete overhaul. It feels stuck in 2018.
I totally agree
i honestly feel like i'm back in release 1.0.0 whenever i'm in a birch forest
About birch biomes, there are actually two currently in-game. The regular one and the old growth birch biome. It’s a biome of tall birch trees, and peculiarly enough, as players, we have no way of replicating such tress other than building them by hand. It gives just a tiny bit of mystique to the biome.
Also, in the earlier minecraft versions, because there were fewer tree types, there were more variants of the each biomes and biomes were tied to terrain generation. There were multiple types of forests, each with different percentages of tree types and different levels of tree density. The only remaining trace of that now is perhaps the sparse jungle, a jungle with spread out trees and bushes.
IMHO, I think the birch trees in the normal birch forest should be the height of the ones currently in the old growth forest, and the ones in the old growth forest should be even taller. Birch trees are generally taller than other trees in their age group.
rainforest was great
I really like the idea of growing palm trees on sand, it would give a new interaction to the otherwise boring sand block
Terraria moment
@cavemanbuddyolpal Oh, so that's where god got them from, I knew they looked familiar
Same
Damn bro god ripped off terraria wild.
I think mangrove should be changed. Remember that concept art? Steve and alex in a boat swimming through fog, fireflies and different vines, cattails...
What I'm annoyed most of, is that mangrove swamp is a *hell,* there is no wide rivers in it, a huge amount of holes from caves & cliffs, and a lot of mobs hiding behind trees. Very hard to move through and very dangerous. Also looks bad without shaders and better fog, lack of bloom and fireflies 😔
Also, remember biome vote? Spiral mountians would be SO GOOD.
I have seen mangroves IRL (from far distance, on Sinaloa) and on photos, and they are mostly like in MC except for tree density, they are WAY DENSIER, but they have river channels shaped by river currents, and they often are behind a sand bar.
having gone to a real mangrove, the minecraft biome is missing so much. one of the things is ambience. you hear pistol shrimps snapping all around you, its very loud. also more spikes on the ground
I would love small rocks to be added! That would be so cool, maybe add small insects to hide underneath or worms to use when fishing or something. There is so much they could do.
I had an idea of adding River Otters and Pebbles. (Maybe Beavers too, I just thought up right now), the River Otters would swim around rivers and occasionally kill fish to eat. If you were to give a River Otter a Pebble(tiny grey rocks that spawn alongside river shores), it would give you a random item from the Fishing Loot Table, much like how the Piglins barter with nether materials.
They have decorative pebbles in BTA I would love to have them in vanilla
It ticks me off we even have literal Proof that things happen 'off-screen' - i mean, just look at Shipwrecks, nothing more has to be said there. It's absolutely confirmed we play in a 'simplified version' of what could be called 'the real minecraft'
Rather than a constant change, rare modifiers might be a fun idea
E.g:
• fields of pumpkin patches with a 5% chance of sometimes generating throughout plains or basic forests.
• "Old/wild" variations to forests, with old having many more fallen logs and dead trees with those fun toadstools, or wild versions having thicker growth that maybe generates bushier trees or creeping vines. They could spawn creepers more frequently or even have wolves be aggressive at night if spawned there.
The point is that these would be rarer variations that hopefully change very little, but can make different places feel unique instead of just, "wow. This updated birch forest sure does have tall trees. I kinda miss the old type where collecting wood was easier and I didn't lag every time I use a bed from all the bees"
I absolutely love these ideas!
I love the idea of the aggressive wolves in the forests!
Amazing ideas, mojang will not add any of them
Great ideas! Mojang would absolutely not use the wolf one because that would lead to harming an animal
@@MidnightCapricorn2696as if people didn't do it before the game existed or even added wolves
I love your beach idea, but given beaches can spawn next to any biome, I think they could be conditional. Like I wouldn’t necessarily want palm trees right next to my taiga base. BUT perhaps they could have a warm beach and cold beach. The warm beach could have palm trees (which maybe could grow coconuts like cocoa beans), and the cold beach could have extra rocks and boulders much like mega taiga biomes.
They already have stone beach and gravel beach, warm and cold would be the next logical step
Warm and cold beaches make sm sense omg
Not technically its own biome, but I would love to seem them make some updates to lakes. I used to work at a summer camp that was on a massive lake, and there is so much you can do with a lake. More fresh-water species of both fish and amphibians, plenty of more insects [RIP the Firefly], more hazards in the form of leeches and other waterborne parasites, new underwater structures that you can ONLY find in fresh water lakes, more animal mobs being attracted to the area to drink, maybe even new vegetation in the form of algae that can serve both decorative and functional purposes, and of course manatees.
Maybe yes, but my main personal most severe problem with them is that current lakes are just puddles. IRL lakes are measured in square kilometers for a reson.
@@tlotro625I agree with this, the only "overhaul" I can think of mojang made for lakes was removing the famous puddles and added aquifers instead, but those aren't really lakes.
@@fresanegra77 personally, they could make current "lakes" slightly bigger, a bit rarer and more shallow, rename them into ponds and make tall grass spawn more around them. And add new lake biomes of proper size and, maybe, with their own fishing pool. Maybe, make them spawn as parts of the rivers. And make rivers flow for good's sake. But that's one way to do it, and for sure not the best one.
@@tlotro625 Oh I definitely agree. I wish we had much bigger lakes, and maybe even a lake biome.
@@tlotro625 that sounds amazing, really!
I always thought mushroom stems should be a log that gives a new type of wood, the mushroom island would literally be the perfect starting biome if it weren't for the fact that you have to transplant trees from somewhere else in order to make it livable. It wouldn't exactly be an upgrade to the mushroom island since any giant mushroom would do the same thing, but it would be really convenient for those lucky enough to spawn on one
It’d also be the perfect overworld parallel for the warped and crimson stems of the nether. Perhaps they left it out because they wanted the mushrooms from the nether to stand out and be different from the overworld, though.
It ticks me off we even have literal Proof that things happen 'off-screen' - i mean, just look at Shipwrecks, nothing more has to be said there. It's absolutely confirmed we play in a 'simplified version' of what could be called 'the real minecraft'
@thomasdevlin5825
As someone who really loves birch trees I was soo sad when they said it was just a concept, I think if they added or changed the birch leaves to be orange that would be fun! And gives us something other than green (we have lots of green leaves and idk adding a different color would be fun)
I agree! I use a fall mod for mobile/bedrock that turns most of the trees orange and gives the grass a more yellowish tone to match and it’s so pretty! The mod also gently transitions back into the regular greens in some biomes so it just gives my worlds so much more variety
Yeah that’s the one I agreed with most here. They are pretty boring lolz I try to avoid them normally
Funny enough, Origin Realms (a vanilla Minecraft server with a lot of mod-like features) actually fixes basically all of the issues listed in the video. They have palm trees. they have fancier giant mushrooms, they have fallen logs and more birch tree shapes, they have icicles, they have granite/andesite/diorite boulders, and they have pebbles, plus a LOT more.
Hive does have that too
The lobby also have some modified vanilla features
Like a grass path slab, dirt slabs, some new trees and etc
It also does have a train station with a real train passing over the lobby
I think a good change to the birch forest, would be to make the leaves all yellow and orange as if it’s autumn to give birch trees a better and unique aesthetic
that would easily make it one of my favourite biomes
I would rather add Populus tremuloides (has yellow leaves).
yes!! birth leaves are arguably the ugliest but adding yellow + orange + maybe even red would be cool
More mushrooms in Minecraft is my dream, Different types of mushroom trees for the mushroom biome could be a good idea, as I would love to decorate with lion manes or big Cantrells Mushroom trees. variance Just imagine the use for decorating and cooking or even a new way to improve potions or even make a new type. This could be a fun way to get more mooshrom variants
Also, I want birch logs to drop birth bark and make paper that way as you can write on birch paper. While it can be its standalone item it could also just be paper just a way more tedious way to do so.
It would be cool if they added mushrooms with a Nauseating kind of effect to resemble psychedelics
@@elijahberg3606no that’d be toooo dangerous!!!
I joke of course, that’d be super cool!
I was thinking about birch bark the other day while I was stripping logs in a build. It feels like stripping logs should give you something, especially with birch. Birch bark is famously strippable and useful in so many ways. In game it could be used to make paper, an alternative to Flint and steel, bowls, boats, and all kinds of stuff.
@Sasbatabata now I want a birch-bark canoe boat variant
For the beach, they should add seashells which can be used as a decoration block. A variety of colours would make it cool. Perhaps there could be extremely rare seashells that can be used to upgrade tools with different buffs. Not sure what kind of buffs.
Instead of super rare new shells with abilities, why not use nautilus shells instead?
@@fresanegra77 That could be a good alternative too. Maybe they should make it so the shells at random can either make your tools worse but also make them better. That makes the player actually take risks.
@@flet__ that's a good idea too! I think a combination of both and a bit of thought as to not make it overpowered or useless would make a great adittion to the game
@@fresanegra77 That’s the difficult part and that’s what I think Mojang has struggled to do. Especially with things like mending, villager trading and anvils. It’s too worthwhile with no downside.
@@flet__ exactly! I hope they fix it someday and the community as a whole accepts it instead of whine and cry over it
I would like it if Mojang would occasionally add a new biome to the nether instead of the overworld.
would be even better if they added something new to the end
@@ratqt.How bout all 3
The nether just got updated and I don't think it needs more, the player only spends a small amount of the game in the nether, I've beaten the game a ton and I don't think I've seen all the biomes
What the end needs is an update, the only thing i go there for is shulker boxes and the elytra
@@Zelurpio I think that's just you man.. I've been playing for 12 years and I still see myself in the nether a ton
microsoft is an indie company, coding is hard, be happy for what you have, mojang don't have money for new updates
Etc etc
i personally think every biome should have its own exclusive blocks and mobs so theres a reason to go there.
I dislike this.
Currently, with how mob votes are going, that's already happening; we got Axolatol, Armadillo, Sniffer, Allay, Goat, Mooshroom, and Frogs
All mobs that require you to hunt a specific biome to find them... and then take back home as pets.
Maybe I would be okay with it, but we need more dynamic mobs like birds or deer. Adding fish was a great step and was taken well. By far, it's my favorite update. Wouldn't it be better to have mob bundles? Why are mob votes only real life animals now, and we never get to see the other two again?
I also think mobs like the phantom should get reworked and appear as a hostile mob in the end or goats dropping hide or milk. So why are mobs just a single-use feature now, Sniffers and Armadillos only have one use and don't drop anything when killed... it's like Mojang is too afraid to make passive mob drops.
Blocks, I agree with since this whole game should encourage you to explore, and I'd be convinced to say mobs too. But we need mobs for every biome, or else it is just pointless to make mob votes for one mob at a time.
In bedrock edition trees in snowy biomes have icy colour to their leaves. I really liked this but if you planted your own tree elsewhere and put snow on its leaves it wouldn’t change. I think those features in Java could look so pretty
No, we don't have enough wood types. We lack cold-colored planks (and there are not enoug blue building blocks in general), we don't have white planks (no, birch isn't white and can't replace it), so more tree types must bring more wood typpes. Also with new Sakura trees being pink we are now not limited to the natural colors, so palms being, say, green - is totally posible. The overworld big mushrooms should have their own wood type (maybe white), and I agree, they should grow in more different shapes.
Overall I think we need a big tree overhaul, because old "simple" trees look too different from the newer ones, like Sakura or Azalia (btw Azalia also needs its own wood type)
Ice biome can have a new structure, something like an "Ice Castle" - not too big, but bigger then desert and jungle temple, maybe like an ocean monument.
The cave mushrooms are are great idea, but I think is should have some unique mushrooms (together with the original ones), maybe like light-blue glowing ones. And yes, they shpould give us the light-blue planks.
I think the desert could use more variation (different cactus shapes, sparse oases with palm trees, common desert fauna, etc.) as well as a revamp to some structures *desert well*. The plains are so iconic that I wouldn’t change them. The tundra NEEDS something to break it up. Even without trees, there could be ice patches or more arctic animals. A big blizzard that happens infrequently would also be nice. Finally, I would like to say END UPDATE WHEN???
Flowering cacti would be so sweet :D get some cactus fruit
No plains change? Plains have a lot of potential, mainly adding steppes, more flower plains, in fauna adding bisons, elk, etc.
@@Jesus-qv5sw at most I'd just like a couple more flower types lol, the plains should be, well, plain. A simple area that's ripe for building
Personally, I feel like the End at this point deserves a wood type for itself.
Like this dark purpleish wood with a faint glow effect
maybe this type of wood is more blast proof instead of fireproof
or something like that.
just something more then the weird teleporty fruits.
And yellow wood to should come from the end
I wouldn't mind more wood types... More building blocks is never a bad thing (despite popular belief).
It can be if the inventory issue isn’t addressed. I think a lot of people misunderstood me. I’d love a new wood type… I just want Mojang to fix the inventory issues first
@@TheGeekFactor_ Don't worry, I understood you, I could tell what you meant (I just did a terrible job at showing that I did understand).
The one positive part of the Mushroom Fields that makes it still somewhat useful is that it cannot naturally spawn hostile mobs, even all the way down to bedrock. That means ANY features that generate underneath it are entirely safe to explore. I had a Hardcore world that had a huge cave, a mineshaft, an even a deep dark underneath a gargantuan Mushroom Fields biome, and it was basically free riskless loot.
Very true, thats the best feature of it, even more freedom to build whatever you want there, especially underground, even no stupid slimes spawn
I have a few proposals:
1)I would like to see a Dead Sea biome. One that is completely devoid of any water and has dead coral sprouting like trees, hostile phantom fish swimming in the air, and an ambient fog making vision difficult. If the player manages to kill one of the bigger fish, it has a chance of dropping the soul fishing rod. This item stays with you even when you die and can be used to teleport to your last death and then break. Since oceans are massive, the Dead Sea Biome would be more like a giant crater than an ocean.
2) Jungles need better content. All there is that is unique are Coco Beans, Jungle wood, Parrots, Ocelots (which do nothing), and Jungle temples. I would like to see Jungle villages but they are in the trees. Maybe a new type of vine that lets players swing places. Monkeys and Bananas can also add more ambience and maybe a new tameable friend.
3) Please bring back lost mob vote mobs. The Iceologer is a unique variant and can maybe drop a magic weapon or enchantment book, the Copper Golem can be used for all sorts of redstone contraptions, the Vulture and Ostrich can serve as great ambience, and just for the fun of it, Mooblooms because they are adorable.
Very cool ideas, however I think what the oceans especially need is a deep sea abyss variant, which has much steeper terrain and goes much deeper and has very different animals and plants, more dark, new loot, maybe was leviathian mob, the ocean needs some more "hardcore" biome, similar to what the deep dark is to the overall caves
@@s66s46 maybe like the Abyssal Chasm from Alex’s Caves?
i hope they update the desert at some point, theres nothing more boring than spawning in the desert damn well knowing it has nothing to do
9:37 Another thing about the "Just use mods" argument is that mods aren't always compatible with the game when it gets updated and some mods aren't even compatible with each other and that means that the mods also require constant maintenance from the creator.
I love the pebble idea! It would be cool if you could use pebbles not just as a decorative block but as ingredients to make cobblestone or other stone types. (Example: 9 pebbles equals one cobblestone or something like that). That could be fun for some survival worlds.
The ice sickle idea is great too and more variation in birch trees sounds like a huge. improvement!
Peat bog is obviously the ultimate Minecraft biome but they passed it up for mangroves. Check it:
- Moss blocks can generate in patches above the water
- Water could be colored brown, since tannins dye it like that in the real world
- Peat could be added as a fuel source, which would synergize well with the Allay and the Conduit
- Bog wood could be added, a black-colored, non-renewable wood that resists fire. In real life, bog wood is fire-resistant because it's like 12% mineral. It's basically wood that fell into the bog 1000s of years ago and became partially fossilized. Using bog wood in your builds would be a dramatic flex
- will o wisps could be added as a mob
- Peat bogs are perfect for archeology because they preserve anything that falls into them, and some of the most iconic stuff IRL gets found there
- bog mummies can be a new mob
- bog iron could be represented as iron ore that generates in springs of orange-colored water
- slimes, witch huts, frogs, and sweet berries can all generate there
Etc. It's one of the most fascinating biomes IRL and has tons of cool stuff in it
About the ice spikes biome, I still get SUPER excited whenever I see said biome to this day despite there being little of use besides the ice itself lol. The ice spikes biome seems like the PERFECT place to have a winter version of buried treasure, that biome gives off such mystical feels and I'm surprised there's not any abandoned structures or at least some interesting loot to be found there. The biome seems rare enough that adding specific loot would enhance the biome, not degrade it.
ALSO WHAT IS THAT SONG THAT STARTS AROUND THE 8:20 MARK, I love it and want to find it for playlist purposes!
The song is a remix of the Minecraft 1.20 disc, Relic. It’s called Relic (monolism remix)
i love birch forests!! while ive never settled down in one, i do like to live near them because they're my favourite trees in the game (i think you could do a lot with the logs when building) and living near them just gives me a good vibe and makes playing more enjoyable for me. perhaps an update i'd like to see for them would be more plantlife and animal variety, maybe some birch-forest-specific mob, nothing fancy, like a new variety of horse or some sort of salamander or something modest like that.
I play desert solo survival. Desert should only have water in ravines or mountainous areas shielded from the sun, and those places should have palm tree oasis. These oasis should be rare. Agree that palm tree wood should be jungle logs or another pre-existing type. Should have salt flats. Should have wind noise as a weather option, (Not blowing sand, that is overkill). I also wish the dead bushes were bigger. Actual desert has 2 meter bushes.
Special Feature: Currently the desert does not have rain. I want it to rain very rarely, and on the night of the next full moon a white moth appears and flies around. I want the moth to lead the user 100+ blocks away to a rare flower that has appeared out of the sand only for that night. I would be happy just to have rare flower for decoration, don't care if it is used for potion or whatever. Hesperocallis undulata as model for flower, it is rare and I have seen it in person.
I would add many desert biomes (proper biomes and transitional ones), in particular, cacti forests (which are large sahuaros) and dry thorny forests (a transition between deserts and jungles).
I've been playing arounds with worldgen datapacks recently and i think Mojang should take some notes from them.
Not the massive ones like Terralith, but the ones that add small yet noticeable overhauls to existing biomes like "Geophilic" and "Funky Flora".
Upon watching opinion pieces like these, it’s made me realise that not every biome NEEDS to have a makeover. I think a biome can just exist for the cool aesthetic like the Mushroom Islands, I believe they’re unique enough without needing structures or new items to be hamfisted in because it’s old. Some definitely need fixing and tweaking but sometimes things should just be simplistic and plain, it makes other unique biomes stand out.
I think there are also three other biomes that are usually overlooked, and now should get updated to keep up with everything else.
1. The old swamp: Mojang added a brand-new swamp like biome (the mangrove) but completely overlooked the old one. There isn't much interesting into them: The trees are just oak with vines, the lilypads are all the same, few animals spawn there, the water just looks really dirty, etc.
2. Deserts: Kinda the same thing you mentioned with beaches; no diversity, just sand. And with deserts is even worse, it's just sand and sand for huge distances without anything different. They could put some new tree, other types of bushes, rare oasis or a new terrain generation, maybe a new variant that looks like the Lençóis Maranhenses, that would be cool.
3. Rivers: This one I have the most issues with: Currently, rivers are just boring water bodies that shares the same height level as the oceans.
Really, they could diversify this a little more: wider rivers, upstreams and downstreams, springs, types of fishes or fishable items that only spawn here, different height levels, different plants than seaweed, smaller streams, maybe even waterfalls? (remember that one in the Buzzy Bees trailer?)
Particularly, there should be a lor of river subiomes based on the adyacent biomes (for example, plains may have populus forest rivers or none river forests at all, or oak forests, deserts may have some bushes, etc.
It’s because Microsoft is scared of changing Minecraft because what got Minecraft so popular was its simplicity
Minecraft changed a long time ago
Oh it's simplicity is loooooong gone. Minecraft is one of the more complicated games nowadays
I would love to see rivers that actually flow from a high point to the sea. Sure, it would probably be very difficult to code into the game, but it would make the world more like our world
move mending villagers to mushroom island exclusive, gives the biome a use that people will seek it out for and making mending a bit harder to get
Mod makers: Did all this stuff since 2011
Mojang: Will do this stuff in 2028
It will take forever thanks to Mojang being inept and Microsoft having a boardroom of boomer executives that don't want to change anything.
Hear me out. Since the mushroom biome is rare they make the villagers have really good items ( they don't have to worry about mobs so they can vet advanced)
I think it would be really sick if they added more diversity of plants. We've gotten occasional new flowers and all the new cave plants but a whole plant-oriented update would be pretty rad. This could also include some updates to how farming is done, which is fine, but would be nice to see some new ideas for. I really like the idea of more leaf litter or small nature on the ground like the petals and stuff.
i wish thy add new fictional bioms to minecraft overworld like enchanted forest or undead island
On my survival world, my base is in a mushroom biome....... I got fed up with looking at the colour of the mycelium that I got some moss blocks from the lush caves, silk touched grass blocks. I then used bone meal to expand the moss through my island to make it look more aesthetic, now it's safe and cute...... Also hidden lighting on the island by putting torches underneath the moss carpet 😉
I think in general, every biome could use more ambience. An update dedicated to adding useless little mobs, structures and other tiny additions would be nice.
Beyond general changes though, rivers and lakes are barren. The only mobs that naturally spawn in them are salmon and for some reason squids, and they’re tiny (in terms of width). For starters, they could use an overhaul in how they generate; maybe they get much wider at certain points or flow through various elevations here and there. But what they also need is some new features. They could have actual running water rather than being a stagnant stream, and flow down from the newly updated mountains all the way down to the coastal biomes. Maybe they could get some new life that grows around them too, like reeds and duckweed, maybe some dragonflies and ducks that hang about, frogs could spawn around them too and try and eat the dragonflies just for fun. Maybe there could be a new kind of tree that only spawns around rivers too, like a weeping willow tree
When we we lost the Iceologer we lost some of the coolest possible Ice content in the game!
One easy and impactful change could be to make all leaves drop leaf particles like the cherry blossom does. They just can tone it down for the other leaf types. though.
It used to be that people could have nearly endless fun with a very limited selection of blocks, no biomes, rudimentary world generation up to 1024x1024 blocks in size, and no survival aspect. And then with a very simple survival game. Whatever happened to imagination? How can you blame Mojang for lacking imagination with their updates when you lack it in your gameplay? Do you even play the game anymore?
I hope they don't change the mushroom islands biome. It was one of the first biomes I found as a kid when I first played minecraft, the fact it hasn't changed at all since then means its like a time capsule to another era of minecraft once you find it.
The apples need their own trees
My boyfriend and I are currently building a medieval city on mushroom island. And I can tell you to remove all of that UGLY dirt and replace it with grass is tedious, but it makes the end-result so much more rewarding!
A thing i thought about the mushroom island is that micelium in real life "connects" plants and trees so they can share nutrients and transmit signals to other trees.
Maybe in that biome, whenever you chop down a giant mushroom, it would send a signal to other mushrooms and they could quickly grow a layer of "bark" to make them harder to break, if you keep cutting it will grow thicker and harder to break. Maybe even mooshrooms start attacking you like in Dungeons. It is really just to make that biome more fun, and maybe the bark could have a use.
The bark would give wood stripping a non-cosmetic use! Haha
I think that the brown mooshroom mechanic is perfect as is
Its kinda useless though but very cool
Nice video, I agree whole heartedly that a focus on ambience would do wonders, I would personally love to see a revamped weather system in the game that would allow for wind direction an the like that would have leaf particals blowing on ocassion, deserts could have sand storms, etc. In addition a revamp to the atmospheric audio would be huge, imagine the ice-spikes biome with the ambient of cracking ice slowly shifting echoing around. I would love to see cave biomes with more variation, crystal caverns, fungal covered, underground jungles, and even rare underground villagers.
As for specific biome changes, I agree that we don't need more wood types without a change to the inventory system but I would me interested in seeing unique reasons for going to and setting up a base in each biome - Ice spikes could have a unique effect where ice could naturally become packed (and then blue ice) over time making it an ideal location for ice farms. Mushroom fields having more large mushroom variations is great but I would also like to see other types other than brown and red mushrooms. Birch forests desperately need birch tree variants as well as more to do in general. Beaches could also be improved (as would oceans) if the way water appeared was improved, the sounds of small waves crashing on the shore line, water slowly ebbing up and down perhaps even slighltly covering blocks near by, the waves becoming larger and louder during storms would all add to the vibe.
I recall Mojang saying they would not add seasons, but I still feel that seeing the biome change around you would be a great experience (Bedrock already has leaves turnning white when show falls on them). This leads me to three related needed updates: 1) Improve transportation so that getting to the different biomes is a good and fun experience, 2) Improve the ambience in the game both visually and audibly using the basalt delta biome as an example of audio and the cherry blossom leaves as a visual example, and 3) Improve the exploration features to the game by improving the inventory problem and make discoveries feel exciting and impactful.
Thanks for another great video.
I personally think seashells along beaches would also be really neat. And among them, nautilus shells could have a rare chance of being with them. They could make for really good decoration and possibly have other uses
I think to balance out the brown moshrooms spawning naturally and still keeping them special is to make it rare, and that they cant breed. For the birch forest my idea is that they not only do what they said they would but also replace the meadows entirely with this new birch forest, or kind of merge the two together. Palm trees would be cool, but don't make them too common or hard to replicate imo and DEFINITELY dont give them a new wood type lol! Also maybe have the iceoliger spawn in outposts and raids in snowy biomes just for the sake of variety
Why not a new woodtype?
Pretty good video, I agree with most of your ideas. Another thing they could do to make biomes more distinct would be to implement the animal variants that were introduced for Minecraft Earth. They could do this the same way a bunch of existing mobs have multiple possible skins depending on the biome they spawn, and they wouldn't even need to design new assets, since the textures should still exist from Minecraft Earth.
You’d have to make the villagers a part of the fungal infection like the mooshrooms are, i think it would be interesting if it infected the player in some way, or any entities that are in the biome long enough eventually succumb to the infection
I want a rare biome update, like mushroom biomes sometimes dropping spores when it rains that can populate empty areas with bigger mushrooms or grow into animals as a repopulating resource some way to have infinite of them without breeding in the background, and other resource based things like a rare mob at a jungle edge. Packed ice within icespikes, etc.
Lightning striking a red mooshroom could give a crimson mooshroom and striking a brown mooshroom could give a warped one, it fits with how lightning + pig = zombie pigman
this is my first video of yours and wow your passion for content creation is so apparent i love it :) great video man
Mushroom fields could really use naturally spawning brown mooshrooms like you said. Speaking of mooshrooms, they could be used as a way to farm mushrooms as well, without turning them back into normal cows. The existence of podzol has made farming big mushrooms much easier, giving mushroom fields next to no use apart from the (not so now) novel mooshroom.
when you talked about taller birch forests it reminded me of the old growth birch forests which can be pretty tall
You're quality is very good, glad to have found this channel. Take your time.
To be honest, I think people talk like every biome should be super interesting and constantly have stuff to do, but i think, for a creative game, part of it is giving a blank canvas. also for mooshroom biomes, they aren't really common enough to get boring. but for how rare they are, they could be more rewarding.
I've posted in the Minecraft suggestions before that they should totally add a grayish/purple foilage to the Mooshroom Biomes. It would definitely add just the smallest amount of detail and change to the biome
I want them to make a moss vine (or something similar to the moss look on mossy cobblestone ) to allow variety to vines or flower peddles or the moss carpet where it can be in all directions and it allows more decorative varieties to different biomes
Something I would love to see with the mushroom villages is a lack of doors and a focus on using mushroom blocks (maybe white where you would see logs) and cobblestone or other stone variations plus instead of crop farms you find mushroom farm. Possibly also a loot table biased towards tools and mushrooms
I want more biomes as rare as the mushroom fields. I’ll be happy with just one added to the nether, one added to the end and one added underground. Why? Cause exploring can get boring quickly with stuff like the elytra where you can super easily find every biome you desire and it’d make it a lot more exciting to stumble upon one of those biomes and be like “oh nice a , now I have access to ”
Mojang is infamously known to make big content they add insanely rare and stupidly useless or abandonned on early idea stages. Just look at the pillager mansion. I don't expect them adding anything to mushroom islands anytime soon.
I actually came up with something for the oceans, coral mushroom biomes. Giant mushroom stems leading to coal made tops, I even designed multiple varieties like some have air pockets while others can have mushroom lights.
I’ve been wanting an immersion update for a while now. Updating old biomes would be great for that. Adding in ambient effects like mist and water splashes would be incredible too.
I really like all the ideas you proposed, the mushroom cave especially.
Me personally, I'd like to see more variety between the ocean biomes
Mojang should make some type of "ambience" and/or "decorative" update where it adds small stuff like pebbles for decoration, sticks on the ground to pick up, and maybe bushes for more foliage. Mojang should also add tables and chairs that have *VERY* simple crafting recipes, like a table is just a wooden slab with two sticks on the bottom that are one block and if you place another next to it, it would combine into a 2x1 table. I mean someone legit turned the model of a salmon into an office chair, Mojang can totally do some as simple as a chair.
6:33 i also think the grass should have a lighter color
i honestly hope they update the mooshroom biome. i wanna see i village there really badly, it would look so cool!
I love how fast you talk it really lets me know how much you want this to happen lol! This video was great I loved it and I liked the old Minecraft CDs has background music
i agree with everything, especially the stuff for forests in the 5th part
recently i've been playing with the mod Ecologics and it adds a few small changes to multiple biomes like fallen over trees in forests, palm trees on beaches, etc and it makes it so much better
One thing I really want is better biome options in custom World generation. Notably better biome selection. For example: if I want to have a large tropical island, I can select all the jungle variants and oceans as the biomes that can spawn. I feel like this would be a great addition.
I would like it if they made several biomes have more dangerous overworld surface biomes , like a dark oak forest, with taller trees, and an increased skeleton and maybe witch spawn rate, like to the point where they are as dangerous as trial chambers.
Also make certain deserts larger and more inhospitable with no villages or water and sandstorms with a possible new mob.
Do a similar thing with snowy biomes.
I would think these variants traditional spawn out away from spawn creating a circle of danger where if you want to travel further you have to go through them. Maybe make it that strongholds only spawn beyond this circle, (most of the time so speed runners won't be mad)
i come back since i wanted some good minecraft documentary type videos and i end up spitting out my water it wasnt even that long ago that you had less then 1000 subscribers ww thank you for your hard work (also longer form videos sound nice could totally use them as a background video and enjoy christmas and the new year most of us dont expect many videos or manga updates or anything like that from anyone this time of year)
since palm trees are coming with the desert update anyway, I'd rather just have those spawn on beaches as well as spawning in oasis. I do think that potentially the baobab and palm tree will end up getting new wood types and maybe the azalea as well later on. if I had to guess on colors, I'd say the baobab will have white/light gray wood, the palm tree will have a saturated yellow-y orange, and the azalea will probably have green or light pink.
I kinda understand not touching the mushroom biome, it's so iconic that changing it would probably piss a lot of people off if it wasn't done absolutely perfectly
but at the same time for something that spawns so rarely, it's basically useless and the only reason to go there is for novelty cows
@@chocobear4078its biggest use by far is that no hostile mobs spawn there (except those fkn phantoms) meaning you have even more freedom what to build, especially underground, where even no slimes spawn
They've put a lot of effort into adding new tree types (we've got what, 8 now?), but I always found that they've ignored the ground! All we've got is short/tall grass in the temperate biomes, short/tall ferns in the taigas, and bushes covering the ground in jungles. They need to overhaul ground foliage. The flower update was a great one, going from 2 flower types to well over a dozen. It would be great if they could do the same with other plant types. Add naturally spawning bushes in forests, dense prairie grass for plains, and cattails for swamps. Do for the surface what they did for lush caves.
I think minecraft really needs more particle effects along with those ambient sounds. I’ve always thought that the ambience in the nether is weirdly better than the overworld with the bubbling lava sounds and the particle effects in certain biomes that I feel could be added to the overworld. Like the cherry blossom biome with the petals or the spores in the lush caves, why not pollen in flower fields and falling leaves in really any biome. Same with sounds. Definetly needs more ambient atmospheres
the problem with custom trees is the larger base are not likely in minecraft as they require a strange system we are yet to have a sapling grow outside of its normal size like the 2x2 trees are requires to make a denser base and for custom beach trees like suggested they seem to have more random sized bases making it a bit dificult to seem unmodded. also ik the mangrove tree can grow different to how i described but i think that falls into a different catagorey since the growth isnt with a solid block u can suffocate in and it also is more suited for a specific enviroment so it being elevated seems natural
You’re humble, some people get mad and ask for an update to every biome adding 1000 new items
I think they could also make that only certan enemy mob can spwan i some bioms, like in the nether. For example in dark oak wood make it spwan no creepers but much more spiders, that also attack you at day because it is much darker there
Funny you meantion the villages thing. I'm making a video about how Minecraft has a structure abundance issue and when I flew through 10 different worlds on 1.4.3 and 1.20 I found you're 4x more likely to find structures in the modern game. (I flew 2000 blocks in each direction from spawn) To be precise, you'll roughly find 1 structure per 776 blocks in 1.20 and 1 structure per 3076 blocks in 1.4.3.
I'd love an update to the windwsept Hills or whatever its called. It felt left behind when mountains got updated. Maybe the new one could become heathland and add heather to brighten it up.
Also i respect your decision but id be so annoyed if palm trees didn't get a wood type. I love new woods, and typically wood doesn't impact inventory as much, as people only harvest a tree type at a time
Honestly, we need more important mobs, ones that are preferably hostile.
I know the mangrove swamp is recent, but I’d like to see a cold variant of the swamp in the form of boglands or Muskeg. A grassy swamp biome that naturally generates moss blocks and spruce trees instead of oak.
Maybe a glacial valley biome in mountains.
Basically more variety in cooler/cold biomes.
I will never stop being mad at Mojang for doing us dirty with the birch forests, in fact they SHOULD HAVE DOUBLED DOWN on adding it after all the backlash, it's so very clear that everyone wante d that, and literally what was shown was not even a bunch of new content, making it even more silly that they took the time to dissapoint us after blatantly showing and portraying that piece of art as planned content.... Great video btw, so many biomes could use some touchups and more splashes of personality, in a game so focused on wanting you to explore they really suck at giving us reasons to explore as the years go on :(
One thing i would like to see with the beaches are the addition to black sand varient, making a third sand/sandstone variety.
I'd like to see birds in general in biomes other than Jungle, and birds that don't make mob sounds so I'm not tempted to hit em with my sword.
Mushroom fields should get mushroom sprouts as an grass like block generating there to fill it up a bit.
