Oh wow this video is popping again! If you have ANY idea/things you want to see me talk about next , I’d love to hear em! Just recently went into the new $70 price tag for games!
The bit about Mojang's commitment to environmental awareness is especially hilarious when you consider how the game has from the beginning practically forced the player to be environmentally unfriendly. Need resources? Dig out massive stripmines, displacing local ecosystems entirely in your quest for materials. Make the forest safe from creepers by cutting down every tree and spamming the area with light sources. Food? Just cram a bunch of cows into a confined space that's on par with some of the worst factory farms in the real world! Wool? Put a sheep into a small containment chamber, it will be sheared automatically every time it regrows its wool! Villagers? Best, most efficient way to use them (and least frustrating too!) is to cram them into a small space where they must stand forever, never able to sleep, always waiting to restock their trades, and always in danger of being turned into zombies, and you'll Stockholm Syndrome (ironic) them into giving you massive discounts by curing them. Mob farms? Lots run off of inhumane methods - iron farms rely on villager torture and gold farms rely on zombie pigmen trying to trample and crush turtle eggs, which btw can never hatch because they're not on sand - congratulations you have condemned innocent baby turtles to purgatory for a valuable resource. List aside, it's absolutely asinine that Mojang doesn't want to add real life animals because "muh environmentalism" when the game has from its very inception, all the way up to the present day, *encouraged* environmental exploitation.
I think Mojang/Microsoft themselves forgot that minecraft is supposed to be imaginative. Literally add whatever animal or creature you want, it's a game encouraging you to go nuts. follow your own advice-
I guess, but feeding a parrot cookies is very different from all of that. some young kid might do the former, but I doubt they would play minecraft and come away wanting to do gentrification.
I never archived anything in Minecraft, because I had to replant every tree and leave all terrain exactly as I found it. I would carry wood block to build ledges for climbing, because I didn't want to destroy the natural mountain cliffs. I was horrified when I saw other people playing the game and leaving huge parts of the world in ruin. If you play this game as a game, then obviously the optimal way is to ruin the environment to gather as many resources as you need as fast as possible. But if you want to engage in the tiniest amount of role-play and treat the generated world like a real world that was given to you to care for and keep and make beautiful, then it's not optimal at all to ruin the view you have behind your window. It's like Sims, playing to win is not the intended way to do it.
Am I the only guy who doesn’t confine villagers to small spaces? I let them just wander around town and wait on them to return to their workplace. Maybe I stalk them and steal their bed, but I wonder how many people share this same method.
@@voxelescent I am fine with walling off the Village to keep them safe but Most People already move them to their all over so what do you lose by trapping the villager in a cell? Nothing. Something like that happened in Terraria where most people would make Apartments or Prison Cells to mass horde the NPC's and they added a tax if you horde the NPC's... with expected fire and brimstone. The only reason the NPC were mostly spared is due to they added a Teleporting System linked to the NPC's
I find it funny how basically copper's only feature is that it oxidizes.... When copper in real life is one of the only metals together with gold that doesn't oxidize easily (unlike iron who oxidizes easily)
....and then we never get a Rusted Iron Block or even a Rusty Iron Golem after Caves and Cliffs using the exact same systems Copper uses for.... reasons
@@NotTheGaslighter the reason is simple, keeping some features as exclusives. What would happen if every metal rusted? It would feel like a commonplace feature instead of the unique thing it is!
@@SaishoVibes i do not see the point of why someone needs to feel so conservative and shy with the existence of a new and interesting building block that can easily make its way into landscaping and industrial/underwater builds... its a silly argument to say copper and rust wouldn't COMPLIMENT each other perfectly with their uses! .....also, gold doesnt rust, rust is inherently a property of iron oxidization, please at least google your arguments first, it took me 30 seconds. please try harder next time.
The thing I want the most is the most basic one : Ambiance sound, like birds, wind, trees leaves … depending on the biomes (which should also get an update, I mean just how sad does the forest biome feel)
I've been thinking about this for so long but so many fans claim that if we want cool stuff in Minecraft then we should just go buy a pack or download a mod. Which completely misses the point of me wanting the base game to be more interesting. Great job on this dude 🔥
why do you all assume you are owed massive amounts of FREE updates to a game you make such a big deal out of saying you "already bought"? Like, you paid for the game, you got the game, and then you piss and shit and cry and puke that there's not enough extra shit being added FOR FREE? also it's incredibly funny you're still faking outrage over chat reporting. show me one person who was mistakenly banned from servers and I'll stop laughing every time you weirdos mourn the loss of using slurs in chat
Mojang has laid out their rules for developing the game and what their vision for the game is very clearly. They know what game they want to create and they make it very clear that they try not to bloat the game with features. Are you saying you want the base game to... Be like a modpack? Like, I don't understand wtf you mean.
Console players weep. Microsoft keeps pissing me off more and more on the daily, to the point where I reget buying an Xbox one 3 years ago. Spent almost a thousand euros on a good gaming pc, haven't regretted it one bit 🔥
Sharks could be implemented so well into the game. Have them work like wolves and be passive until you hit them and they hunt mobs. What if you could take them and they’d fight for you underwater!? That’d be so cool bro
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 that’s what mojang says and thinks, That’s why they removed fireflies and instead made frogs eat slimes because there’s no way kids can buy or make slime irl, it’s the evil fireflies that need to go
Ever since they refused to add sharks because they think that it will teach kids to attack sharks irl (which is like the whole videos game cause violence argument) I knew that they Mojang was changing for the worse.
i hate this argument so much, games dont have to 100% reflect real life and im sure most kids can tell the difference between a fictional block world and real life right?
While I agree with the sentiment, and abhorre the idea that video games make you violent, we have tangible examples of how widespread art has affected peoples views on animals. There is a strong correlation between the release of Jaws, and the number of sharks killed by us. The image of sharks seems to have been heavily tarnished by Jaws, and the author of the original book tried and failed to fix their reputation. They might be an endangered species because of the cascading effect of ONE piece of art. So I don't blame Mojang for being worried by the effect of such a large scale succesful game on people's perception of these animals.
@@rogoznicafc9672 Debatable. But what better time to internalize the idea of man eating sharks than childhood? Now, the thing is that the idea is already widely believed. It's in everything. Minecraft might not even be a blip in the way people view sharks. But I wouldn't blame developpers to not want to take the risk.
Man I remember when the Iron Golem was added. I was so excited to see it. But with the current Minecraft updates, I haven't been that excited. And that is depressing.
Don’t you think your perspective as a long time player might be a factor? The iron golem probably looked amazing to you as a kid, but how much do people use then for today besides iron farms? New features might be more exiting for newer players because everything seems new, but older players who understand the complexity of the game might think otherwise.
@@Elfking94 Notch was shooting out those updates like crazy. I wasn't even aware of Minecraft at that time and only started playing it in 2019 just before Pewds started playing it.
Before: Wow, Iron Golems, I can use them to add more defenses to the villages in case they are in trouble! Now: Wow, Iron Golems, I can enslave villages for them to infinite generate iron!
Why don’t they update old stuff either, like the dolphins with saddles, new mode of transport, boom new feature. Goats don’t do anything except horns, make a block that uses a horn so people can use it in tandem with the not block and bell for music , boom new feature. The bat, make it destroy skulk or something or give it a drop which can combat the skull or warden or to just detect skulk, boom new feature. Update pigs , sheep’s and cows textures abit for instance horns for cows, snots and tails for pigs and more fluffy coats for sheep, also muddy variants like for Minecraft earth, boom new feature. Better foliage and biomes, Birch forest, add mushrooms that grow on the sides of them, hollowed birch which act like hoppers but only move down not to the side, more grass textures that are randomises for better foliage, more variety in trees so they are bushier, boom new features. Allays spawn randomly not just in dark oak mansions, allow them to be used to move stacks of item’s between two chests/ inventory’s, boom new feature. There are so many things they add which just end up being useless and with little updates and additions it would make the game so much better. Also they need to sort out the inventory
I had the idea of adding different levels of pockets to leggings and chestplates and headlights to helmets (neither are enchantments, they're something you craft onto armor), directly fixing the inventory size issue while also not only giving people another thing to reach for, but also making progression not just getting diamond, an iron chestplate that gives you another row of items is arguably better than a diamond chestplate. Also, we need better dungeons. a 3x3 cobblestone cube with a spawner doesn't even remotely cut it anymore
Mojang is “environmentally friendly”, And they want to “represent animals realistically”, that’s why the removed fireflies, it’s because *SOME* firefly species are poisonous to *SOME* frogs and they thought kids would force feed fireflies to frogs, Same with dolphins, They also want to add “endangered species”, like the retard axolotl and polar bear and they don’t want hostile animal mobs for some reason but it’s pointless, because polar bears don’t eat vegetables, they eat people and whatever meat they can find, In other words, Mojang has gone “PC”
@@darealepic You really think the microsoft account migration would have happened without microsoft breathing down their necks? A few of my friends now can't play minecraft because the email they used to sign up was made back in 2010 and mojang's customer support is dog water. Won't be surprised if they add microtransactions to java edition because microsoft deemed the game "not profitable enough".
@@unsuspiciousdweller8967like yeah it's a game that's 15 years old with constant updates like eh it 30$ 2$ per year. Companies aren't your friends and well that's like a laughably good deal
Damn this reminds me of how disappointed I was when they added copper; and people on Reddit were mad at me for saying it was basically useless. Like, yah, it’s pretty to look at but we have ENOUGH pretty blocks man. I want something that actually impacts the game for christs sake
I played the Beta in college. Had fun with it for a while. Forgot about it. I'm on 1.19 now going through it with my daughter. She's 5. I like building things for her after she goes to bed like a train or a castle. She likes populating areas with animals. It's a vastly different game from when I first played it. I'll always have the memories of being able to play with her.
I honestly think it's time for mojang to shake minecraft up. Right now minecraft has 3 core pillars, building, crafting/exploration, and redstone. Each update adds on to each of these pillars, though typically whatever they add is either 1) too hard to get for what you get in return or 2) have too niche a use to be useful. I believe minecraft should honestly add a new "pillar" to work off of to keep the game fresh. Something like magic or reworking the potion system so there's an actual incentive to use it and it becomes a pillar of the game. Idk everything mojang does just feels like pointless detailing.
An overhaul to Magic, combat, and exploration would add so much Imagine if they added more to the overall player arsenal (taking inspiration from mc dungeons). We could have a wider variety of gear where people can focus on different combat aspects (say a set that improves crossbow recharge but makes melee damage 20% less) would add alot. Make it so that full netherite isn't the final goal for everyone. Maybe there could be some deep ocean ravines that has gear suited for underwater use. Some sort of magic wand/crystal/structure that allows you to "tame" skeleton to fight alongside you like wolves. There are so many possibilities
@@alexs3469 i loved when they added zombie and skeletons variants to the game, and after seeing MC Dungeons i felt like this kind of thing could be explored further like armored mobs(not just random armor, i mean some actual high level monsters that are tougher and can spawn sometimes). Minecraft really needs to put more nuance in that "keep it simple" philosophy. They need to add depth to features that have none but make that depth not be a core mechanic that impacts average casual gameplay from someone who barely plays it but something that makes the more advanced minecraft players have something to do with them
@@alexs3469 idk man, I mean those specialized sets of armor could be cool but what for? I don't see any use for such specialization as the game is right now (in singleplayer at least, it'd be nice in pvps). There isn't much use to pve since you can make a farm for any resource you get from mobs, even xp. For such a deep specialization of gear they first would have to make a need for it in some way. Idk those were my thoughts, I'm interested to hear what you guys think.
A complete overhaul of combat would be nice. New weapon types, magic weapons, magic. All the good stuff. I’d also be a warm welcome if bedrock Edition also got the pvp update
@@alexs3469 yo, it has been confirmed potions are going to change since a dev confirmed in the future each potion will be a different icon. So we might get the magic update
I feel mojang’s design philosophy most of the time has them creating external additions rather than interacting with the systems and features the majority of players use. I think this is out of fear of upsetting players like they did with the combat update, but it’s a shame that it’s happening. Their best updates have come from bold decisions to fundamentally alter the progression and experience of the base game, because it helps old players like me enjoy the game again, and it improves the experience for a new player.
This!!! Most of the updates feel like neat little additions that are attached to the outside of the core game, and that core game is getting less and less interesting the more neat stuff is placed on the outside, but the neat stuff on the outside is only useful for a bit.
@@stefanofeblesverastegui8869 for dark souls fans who like slow ass boring combat. Combat update literally bricked most good pvp mini games and single handedly did shit like kill survival games
I really do think they are too scared to do something big and effective, definitely too safe Like dude, instead having some 'boat' made out of blocks just sitting there in the water, allow me to make it sail
Yeah, and I sorta blame the community for this since they never really get satisfied with any update. Oh you released a performance update? Well no it should’ve had WAY more content. Oh you released a content update? Well no you should’ve made a performance update instead. And I’m not saying Mojang is flawless but my god this community can be insufferable at times.
@@thebushbros6626 they are never satisfied because Mojang simply makes so unsatisfying Updates you can't give the Community the fault they are literally complaining about a lack of content, why would they then hate a Big Content updated? Like use your brain
@@thebushbros6626 I don't wanna be that guy but 1.17 to 1.20 have been very minor updates with a few legitimately cool things in each one. I think people are reasonable in wanting something bigger by now.
MAJOR hot take: The game really did lose it's touch when Notch left. Say what you will about the guy, but he had a vision and a creative mind that fit well with Minecraft. The dude may have been experimenting here and there, but you could tell he wanted to go places, and going through older versions and their updates really made that clear. He was willing to try things and create fun, unique creatures and mobs that even minecraft today can't recreate. The current updates might have one or two things that make me go, 'oh, that's kinda cool I guess', (allay being a perfect example), but that's it. there's nothing that's been in the game that's made me really go 'wow' like back then. (kinda makes it a stab in the chest to see them not even invite the guy who built the game to the 20th anniversary party they had) There's no drive, all the additions in the current updates have been focusing on trying to recreate 'real life' by adding in bamboo forests with pandas, goats in mountains, accurate bee simulation, frogs in swamps and... it's all just bland now. You look at the creeper and immediately think 'woah, that's weird and unique, I like it', but when was the last time Minecraft gave you that that same feeling? the creativity isn't there, Minecraft isn't the innovative, driving game it used to be when Notch was behind the lead, it's just a sandbox with an 'adventure' mode that really is just the basis for creating structures and redstone contraptions to show off to your friends, hell why even play vanilla when modded offers so much more than that? the soul of minecraft is just completely gone, man.
You are kidding, right? The notch was the largest opponent of adding pistons at Mojang. I remember the time, when redstone was useful for opening doors and nothing else, Minecraft added many great things after notch. It was after Microsoft acquisition that the studio suddenly changed direction. Previously it was a game by geeks made for geeks and it was coincidental that kids happened to like it, now it intentionally targets its largest demographic and you are not in it.
notch is only one dude though, he can only read so many ideas. I enjoy the new complications, it makes you actually have to do things and take time instead of just baloneying around, to make fun creative things you have to do some work and I think it helps with burnout
I think Mojang, when they decide they're actually going to do something, it turns out really well. 1.16, the new World Gen from 1.18, and on the smaller scale Frogs and the Mangrove Swamp are all great additions to the game and achieve everything they set out to do. The issue with Mojang I believe is that they're Short Sighted, not lazy. Examples given in the video of things like Mending making Anvils all but entirely useless is a good one, Elytra now dominate the game, the Caves and Cliffs are beautiful but they're a hassle to maneuver around without an Elytra. They add these great things, but they never add things to compliment these new features, or seem to think of the longer term ramifications of an addition. If they took that year to add other things to make the update even better, a great example is 1.14 adding in things like the Stonecutter as a peripheral thing that fit into the main update and achieved something, then I think the long wait would be more acceptable. Though an elephant in the room that I think has been largely ignored, is the distrust towards Mojang that has developed over the past 2 years that is the fault of no one but themselves. It seems they've at least somewhat learned from the mistake of promising things for an update before they're done (Keep in mind the Warden was supposed to be in 1.17), but it doesn't wipe away the issues that came before. Then you have things like the Birch Forest revamp and Fireflies that could have easily been added without any issues, as especially with Fireflies all they would need to do is disable the ability for Frogs to eat them. This, I don't want to call it Dishonesty, so I'll say Overconfidence, is what has made a lot of people extremely miffed with Mojang in combination with everything else. As for their "Environmentalist Message" it's just a farce to look good. I don't claim that lightly, but they've added things like Dolphins, Pandas, Polar Bears, and Parrots, and among them only the Dolphin does anything but spawn in a rare biome and exist. I get not wanting to add Aggressive Mobs from Real Life, but there's a ton they could do with Neutral mobs and just not have them attack the player unless provoked.
Finally a comment that isn't "modern Minecraft is garbage, old Minecraft is goat", first of all old Minecraft is only playable with mods, think about it the old minecraft updates are even simpler than the wild update and tales and trails update, in other words old Minecraft is boring and nostalgia based And all the Nostalgiatards will attack me but i don't care because i'm based
I'm still basically mad at them for saying they "never promised the birch forest revamp" and then saying "oh that was just concept art idiots hahahaha". Gaslighting.
I haven’t played Minecraft in a long while, but I do remember as a kid watching a video of some people fighting in pirate ships with a cannon mod and really wanting to be able to try it. Looking at it now, though updates have been substantive, if feedback from the people that play the game isn’t used, then you probably won’t get the things people really want. Great video!
Sokar and Keralis are probably the guys you're thinking of, just search their names followed by "minecraft pirate ship battle" and several videos will come up. Map download is in the description if I remember right.
You're welcome. Stayed up all night long watching those sort of videos once, from 9 pm to 8 am. If you know by any chance, I'm trying to find a few older TH-cam videos; A short, maybe 57 second FNAF 2 Garrys Mod animation, done entirely in sliding camera shots over still frames. I distinctly remember a model of the sniper, maybe with that goatee beard cosmetic or whatever, and it had a slightly faster, higher pitched cover of the man behind the slaughter song in the background, also with less instruments possibly. Garrys mod map of gm_construct in minecraft textures, older video for sure. Venturiantale video, small house map, papa achachella, and a tree prop (large one) fell down. Minecraft tornado mod video, male voice with a cheap mic, further away from the mic for sure, custom asian map, he was in a rice field and got hit by a tornado, maybe british, definitely before 2015. Minecraft video from way back in the day, it was an adventure map, maybe referencing vampires, very dark, prison? Player could only break clay, had to break clay and get under iron bars. Not a video, but a ps2 or ps1 fps game, only level i remember was a gunfight in an airfield at night, highly lit up, several fighter jets, and you had to run to the command tower to get a briefcase; I always died trying to get to the briefcase or getting it and in a lone voice recording from the last time i played it, said it was something along the lines of "Spastist spy." (spas-tist) Garrys mod flood video by a MAYBE popular TH-camr, had a group of friends on a couch, and a wall of water hit them on a flat map with a custom concrete pad with ramped edges. I remember they were all early 20s around when i watched it (pre 2014(?)), They were on a couch when it hit, van prop used later. Garrys mod tornado series from around 2012-2013, person made a bathtub car with a ladder, breens desk, large wheels, and took off and the video ended. Possibly related to these videos is the avia 31 prop in a seperate video being turned into a crude flying car, 2 or 3 people in the video. Some ytp made before 2018, All i remember is a joke about one of those excercise tilt chair things being great for sex, then something about tap water using bieber to kill 99% of Germans. I remember the Discovery Family Hub logo. Might update this later with anything else I can remember, but if you recognize anything or have any leads, it would definitely help.
The amount of things they have promised that never came around is immense. The amount of POTENTIAL this game had isnt prevalent anymore. The mob vote for the phantoms why only just one? All of the mobs were cool and truly unique. What happened to fallen trees or combat overhaul? Why do only one biome revamp? Even just two biome revamps would be better than just the one. A MULTI BILLION lemme repeat. a multi- BILLION dollar company WITH OVER 500 talented devs can't manage to keep the game fresh for more than 2 weeks. Can't even add 2 pixels that fly around because they are poisonous to frogs. Lets add 1 new block and a useless item. People aren't angry at mojang, not in the slightest. we're just dissapointed.
To be fair to Mojang, I think the real reason they didn't add fireflies is because they were unsure of how they would fit into the game. The new birch forest also never had any in-game footage, only concept art. These ideas were most likely scrapped because they were unsure how they fit into the game. For the biome vote as well, they have stated that the biomes that won would be prioritized while the biomes that didn't would still be updated, but later. And Mojang have only ruled out mobs from the 2017 vote, which means the others are still up for grabs.
I'd like to point out the time between the last truly _good_ mob to be added, the warden; and the second last good mob to be added, the evoker; was literally 6 whole years. It took Mojang a third of the entire time I've been alive to add a new mob that truly wowed me.
but it isn't "good" it is just an opinion of yours. Bees are a good mob to me. Piglins are a good mob to me, heck even phantoms are a good mob to me (for what they were designed to do, I want them in the end instead of overworld tho)
They're scared to add sharks as they don't want real life mobs to be hostile. Then don't make them hostile? Mojang pretending to care about sharks while acting like they're intrinsically murderous creatures. They only need to attack the player if the player attacks them.
Loved your video, and definitely agree about the community being a huge part. Minecraft is and always will be a special game to me cause that’s where i met my life-long friends on. we met through this closed friend server, and now we’ve been friends for a decade. Minecraft is a great time, and i’ll always be thankful for the people i’ve met, and everything about it.
I think that they need some brainstorming and listening a lot more to the community, I need Minecraft updates to feel like the game is going forward, not having a new hope of boat xd
Striders came out after the Elytra haha - really we are lucky to be getting free updates consistently, and more ways to play - I like playing in different ways, so sometimes I will trade for gear, other times I will mine for gear, and other times I will loot for gear 🤷🏻♀️ Its fun utilising the different forms of transport and mechanics, and for me some of the best things about minecraft are late game crazy farms and mega builds in a community with a few friends -
I mean striders I find are better than people think. I've seen people get annoyed at having to travel through the basalt biome (I don't it might be my favorite nether biome) but striders make it a cake walk (no lava or magma block damage, just walking over the uneven terrain instead of parkouring over it.
Truthfully I've almost exclusively played modded Minecraft since probably 2012, tons of mods that add new stuff though not stuff I'd inherently think would be fitting to the base game. A good video and highlights a decent amount of points; shoot Mojang could just look to Alex Mobs to see some of the unique abilities those critters have for inspiration. Most of the new updates haven't really captured my interest apart from the great new world height, depth, and cave generation. I missed having lots of fancy cave systems and it was nice to have an update dedicated to that.
Honestly I loved what they did with the villagers. Before that update there was almost no reason to go to a village. At least now villagers have useful trades and I have a reason to keep them around.
Nah. For me villages lost all value after the update. For a simple reason: how common they are. I remember in past, coming across a village was so rare it legit felt like coming across civilization after spending years stranded alone.
They also have a full development team, and can only come out with a single new mob every summer. Making a blocky entity with new features should take a few days for the development team.
EXACTLY. No matter how much they say "its far easier to create mods than to code the game" and "we have to think of how would this add to the game and other features" and then they go and add ONE usseless mob and an new item with only ONE spesific use. All that in 6 months while still having a 50+ member team...
@@rogoznicafc9672 something you need to remember is that there is also a ton of other factors involved in adding something than just coding it in. There is marketing, design iterations, and planning. There is also any potential unforeseen bugs and issues that they might run into (which is very likely), and parity is another issue. And despite the relatively simple graphics, Minecraft’s internal code is very complex due it being a Sandbox. Keep in mind, this is a sandbox game. Other games like Minecraft dungeons can easily have set levels and monsters that nail the atmosphere because you don’t need to worry about the player breaking blocks. Id rather have a few new balanced features with interesting memorable designs that feel like they fit in the game, than 50 new boring mobs that were slapped together with duct tape in a day, do the exact same thing, are buggy, and absolutely destroy the game balance. That’s not even taking into consideration making sure the path finding is actually good, and also the fact that an update that large that comes out that quickly might feel way too overwhelming for some players. And the developers who have said mods are easier to work on used to be modders themselves (ex: kingbdogz is one of the creators of THE original aether mod). Unlike modding, which uses an existing framework, the developers are working on the base game and have to create features from the ground up. Also, not all 50+ developers are coders. Some of them are artists or work on sounds and music. And even then, some developers also mainly fix bugs or work on back end technical improvements. Also, the last time an update only came with one new mob (besides 1.17 which focused on overhauling worldgen, and 1.15, which was a much needed bug fix update) was 1.9, which only added shulkers (and even then, they also added skeleton traps). Adding a bunch of new blocks and flowers in a biome sounds nice, but they will also make the current inventory problems way worse. That isn’t to say there aren’t things Mojang does that I don’t like, but most of these are related to their design philosophy and not their content output (ex: Mojang having a bias towards passive mobs in recent updates, trying to give every feature a use regardless of what it is and scrapping it otherwise).
@@Weldedhodag there have been a few attempts at fixing it, like with bundles (although iirc they were having trouble getting them to feel right in bedrock due to mobile controls). The 1.19.3 changes to the creative inventory is also a step in the right direction, and the devs have acknowledged that the current inventory system has a lot of issues that need to be addressed. It’s just a pretty major issue to tackle while also making all players happy, so a lot of big ideas on how to fix it usually fall outside the scope of an update.
"Should take a few days" is VERY debatable. A couple of weeks at best if we're talking brainstorm phase all the way to the final fleshed out and polished product.
Honestly this video needed to be made. Aside from the Nether Update (Which slapped) the newest updates have all been disappointing. 1.20 looks like the absolute worst update since 1.9, they just added random bullshit that doesn’t affect the game in any positive way and called it an update
@@thebreadbunny1863 if I play a survival I clearly do it because I want to be an archeologist, not because I want to explore, gear up and kill the boss.
@@ybd killing the dragon and getting good gear hasnt ever really been the point of the game. Its a sandbox game with a huge ressource gathering aspect, and some techy stuff inbetween. Survival is somewhat of a misnomer, yeah.
I’m noticing more and more parallels between Mojang and Bethesda as time goes on, like the “keep it simple, stupid” philosophy, starting from scratch, and trying to monetize everything
Like really try to monetize everything . It's a dang 15 years old game you can get for 30$ million for 7$ with consistent updates and what did they monetize? A mostly community run store front for mods on one of the two versions Like common
Because Java is a compiled programming language (there's way more behind it, but it gives off the idea) , to run anything it must always be compiled first, therefore to produce an update they have to "build the game all over again", it's nothing that should matter that much and its even a pretty common practice, since most games are programmed using compiled languages
@@dsihacks I know (it's what i'm referring to with "there's way more behind it but it gives off the idea"), just didn't add that because it makes it a bit more confusing for people who don't know much about programming
The copper thing is so true. Imagine how useful copper could be as a completely different way to transmit signals that redstone or what it could do if it just straight up transmitted redstone. It would be sick.
How you described Minecraft at 2:50 , reminded me how Epic Games overhauls anything that upsets players who have trouble winning. The problem I see nowadays is that developers think anyone who plays video games is young and doesn't understand. Minecraft with the more simple and easy enchantments, Fortnite with random tips popping on the screen, and even on GoW Ragnarök *no spoilers for the character even if you know*, Atreus, and Mimir just keep saying "Shield Block!" Or something like that
that aether reference hit me so hard… as someone who only plays minecraft in spurts now it’s sad to see how far the updates have fallen. i remember being so excited for 1.4 (the pretty scary update) but that changed pretty soon after that unfortunately…
Literally if a modder could port and improve the caves for the older modpacks, would be amazing. Hell I would just play the old Technic Singleplayer if I could.
@@Subject_Keter ehh, I don't know, unless there is a mod that extends the higher limit for older versions (I know 1.12 has cubic chunks but that's still in developement still)
Mojang: we don’t want to encourage kids to do things that harms them or the environment. “Kid dies from trying to get honey from beehive because he did it in minecraft”
I think the number one issue with Mojang and the development of Minecraft might just be the size of the team. There appear to only be a HANDFUL of Minecraft gameplay devs at any one time. Like, less than 10. This to me is absurd. Minecraft is an absolutely HUGE game. There are literally hundreds of thousands of bug reports. There are two completely separate versions of the game. Why is there SUCH a small dev team? If there were double the devs, or even triple, the likelihood is we would see updates a lot faster. They could be much more fleshed out. But right now, this tiny dev team is incredibly overworked and burned out, particularly after the Nether Update and Caves & Cliffs. We already know that the Nether Update was "one of the most stressful updates of all time", likely involving much crunching, and C&C was so big they had to split the update in two halves to save the health of the team. Guys. You make 9 digit revenues every year. HIRE MORE DEVS.
So many small updates and changes that could be added: 1). Redstone lamps should be able to be dyed all dyeable colors 2). Wither Skeletons should drop charred bones which can become charred bone blocks and charred bonemeal which has a chance to have an effect double that of bonemeal but a small chance to reduce a crops stage down one 3). Fill in the missing gaps of stone types (Some stone not having cracked, mossy, or chiseled variants) I mean to be fair those 3 changes alone add up to about 22+ blocks and an additional item that works as a foil for another item already in the game. You could also do other small changes like: 4). Make furnace flames look blue if you use Nether-Based resources as fuel 5). Make composter's have equal chance of giving out an apple when putting leaves in as if your normally destroying leaves Honestly Mojang needs to stop expanding outward and start deepening what they have in the game at the moment. Small stuff like this is getting massively overlooked, I mean seriously, how hasn't the stone issue been resolved yet? It's been years and yet multiple stone blocks are just completely missing out of the pallet, yet they have time to re-do the entirety of caves, mountains, swamps, and time to make an entirely new biome with new structures and mobs galore, yet they won't just add 6 simple blocks into a pallet.
1. wouldn't work with the lighting engine and re-doing the caves, mountains, and swamps would go with what you said with deepening what is currently in the game
@@chezzy1908 He meant what the lamps _look_ like... nobody cares about the actual light color, and the redstone lamp is visually just orange-yellow-ish in color.
Also, what happened to pairity changes? I remember bedrock having the ability to store potions in cauldrons and dying water with them as well for unique armor colors. None of that made it to Java nearly 7 years later
Dyed redstone lamps will never happen because of there being no colored lighting in the game, and if they did add colored lighting, they would have to rewrite the entire lighting engine that from what I've heard talking with modders is very slow and terribly written. Otherwise, there would be no point to them. I wish there were mossy deepslate bricks and cobbled deepslate, and that dungeons below y0 used it. Blue flames only happen when soul sand or soul soil is lit on fire, and I'm pretty sure you can't use soul sand or soil as furnace fuel.
@@Crackers0106 There are three different colors of froglights... did they require a revamp in the lighting system? *No.* Dyed redstone lamps would just have a different block texture, it shouldn't be hard to understand.
Man, they add no challenge or cool rewards. No bosses, no new mobs worth fighting, no cool armor or swords, no new worlds, nothing of actual interest to me.
Not realizing that having to update a game on two different codes on multiple platforms not to mention an idea for the update have to go through a lot of different team and check to even become a feature takes a while
Now this has easily been the video I’ve become most proud of in the past year of this channel. It really puts together a few years of frustration into words! I would really mean the WORLD to me if you could share this video with even just 1 friend to help get those algorithmic steroids going!
We see this with a lot of global franchises though. The creative team is motivated to keep Minecraft static and recognizable to market to the widest audience possible. This is probably why they usually don't expand on older features now; those features are iconic, cemented in valuable nostalgia. Instead they can add new items and features that evoke the same style and function that people remember. They're not lazy, their goals just aren't necessarily the same as ours. Mods are meant to expand the game and make it more fun. Updates are meant to strategically increase the value of the game while staying faithful to the original vision of the most popular game in the world.
That's the part I think people are really missing here. Especially post-Microsoft, Minecraft has to be like Pokemon now. Each new generation is more content, more products, more screaming-goat t-shirts and plushies to sell to make up for the fact that the updates are free. Thankfully (and not unlike Pokemon), because of the sheer size of the community, there's always gonna be someone who sees how much better things could be, and that's something I suspect we'll get to enjoy for a long time after the game is driven into the ground. I of course hope it doesn't go that way, but my point is that even if it does we'll be alright.
Personally think a optimisation/parity update should be high priority. Not running a bad system but recently upgraded from rtx2060 to 3060, had optifabric but yet to install it and java chugs hard in vanilla with default settings. Yet bedrock just works. Will say after a break from streaming/playing coming back to the latest official release of the game I am pleased to see early game progression on new worlds is harder, or at least that was my experience on both versions from a few seeds I tried.
Optimization does not sell well. They have to do what they can and optimize little parts of the game while still adding shiny new features for the kiddies
Use sodium and iris instead of optifabric since they perform a ton better for strictly performance. There are many other mods that bring other things from optifine, and they all work together alongside other mods a lot better than optifabric does. (Additional mods include C2ME, Animatica, Colormatic, Enhanced Block Entities, Lithium, Starlight, OptiGui, and many more)
Java runs on additional layer of abstraction, at a certain point you cannot optimize any more. From my experience, optimized code is hard to work with, I used to often rewrite portions of codes I erased, because I had to add a new feature and it wasn't possible without a code. Bedrock runs directly on your CPU, this is why it will always be faster.
Easily the worst part is what’s been happening with the mobs, and it’s not getting any better. Horses were a good addition, but then they added the Mule, Donkey, Llama, Goat, and Camel. Has anyone ever used these mobs for more than five minutes? The mobs they add either intentionally have no function (foxes, polar bears, pandas) or are so outclassed that they’ll never see use (all the previously mentioned mobs). It wouldn’t be an issue if these mobs weren’t touted as premier features for new updates.
Incredible Video! Subbed! I have been watching the game since the start of 2011 and playing the game since spring of 2012, so I can also say I have seen the ups and downs of the game. The main issue it seems is just complete lack of direction and replayability, idk who calls the shots there but its ruining the game. They have one update where they add a system or change that impoves the game, (nether update, cave update, aquatic update) and then they just completley fumble other updates by adding nothing of real use. (1.15,1.17,1.19,1.20, etc.) You're bandage argument is the best I heard in a while, it really boils down to they see it not about improving the game, but instead fixing the game. People say "minecraft is boring and has no replayability" So instead of improving the biomes, redstone and other systems that exist already, they instead add a few new blocks and a new animal that will serve no purpose except give 1-2 new items and call it a update. They say its "fixing the problem by adding more things for the player to do and see" but after like a day what they add becomes boring. And when they "improve" a already made system it ends the same way as before, perfect example is like you said with the villagers. Problem was people felt they were boring and didn't have any custom/replayibility. So they made new buildings, improved trades slightly, then just made it so people could assign jobs to villagers. These additions ended up to be mostly cosmetic, and the assign jobs feature did nothing except for just increasing the size of already made trading halls. They "fixed" villagers, but never truly improved them. As for the people who say mojang is lazy or sucks I disagree too, they arent lazy thats clear by like what you said creating new systems. They just have some terrible game design desicions or microsoft forcing them to do certain things. I don't know, and I doubt we will know for sometime. All else I got to say is the mob votes are a marketing stunt 100%, the latest one seems rigged in terms of the other 2 mobs being made to look terrible by having zero functionality. And the marketplace is really cool, however I think microsoft may be the problem with this one, imo they won't let mojang add it to the game since it seems to be proiftable for them to keep it seperate. In conclusion, I agree with you completley, and honestly its kind of sad that the game seems to be returning to these same issues that kept the game dead years ago. Whether we see changes to this we will have to see, but I think minecraft is just in a better place overall then it was from 2016-2019 so thats good at least. Anyways great video, I plan to make my own commentary on mojang's decline as of late in one of my own vidoes, and I will be sure to mention your video espically as nailing the problems with current minecraft. Have a good day and thanks for making the vid!
Bro this is an awesome video! The narrating, editing, writing, and the continuity were all incredible and I think it sums up many of the issues Mojang and Minecraft have been dealing with over the past few years, along with the players' frustration with them about that.
Well, now they're going after the community. Censoring words, guns, servers, heck, you can't even have sponsors anymore without breaking their stupid community guidlines. I think it might be finally time to let Minecraft rest in peace. You know the quote about dying a hero or living long enough to become the villain? Minecraft (update wise) should've been category one. You made the previous 10 years better, sorry you had to go down like this, Minecraft.
But they still let gambling crates on servers to be sold to literal children, as long as it makes them money then they have no morals, you would think gambling to children would be one of the top priorities if they were truly morally conscious
i wish the redstone scene got some love :(. i appreciate that they were trying with the warden update but i dont think it was enough. copper wouldve been the perfect opprotunity to make vertical redstone lines, unlucky man :(
@@thebreadbunny1863 target blocks were a W i agree, honey is pretty niche imo tho, only rlly applies to the slime block engineers which don't rlly make up a majority. target blocks are v nice tho
Broken promises, useless mobs, the Warden being insanely overpowered and dropping nothing after taking an hour to kill it, incredibly underwhelming updates, Mojang refusing to give us cool stuff because of their hypocritical stance on environmental preservation. Seriously nobody playing Minecraft is actively thinking about the environment and learning environmental preservation while they're playing the game. In fact, it encourages the dead opposite. Do you see "preserve the environment" when players blow up villages, make trading farms, breed cows until they're crammed and can't move, etc etc etc?
and don't tell me the Warden is a "passive" mob and that killing it is essentially like "killing a blind man" that is such a stupid argument. The Warden doesn't spawn in peaceful mode for a reason. Because it's a hostile mob, and it's a hostile mob because it's always in a constant state of trying to attack and kill you as soon as it spawns. Unless you throw a snowball, it automatically knows where you are upon spawning and starts coming after you despite being blind. If you move out of his path, it doesn't matter because he sniffs you out and adjusts his direction so he can come after you, and when he gets close to you, even if you're standing still and not making noise, he still attacks. Why isn't he neutral when he spawns? Why can't you just wait him out? Why upon successfully being able to kill the thing in survival do you NOT get a reward for it? At least give us a ton of xp. Would make sense too for the biome we're talking about, but no, the community doesn't want that because they're afraid of people making farms out of it... Dude, so what? People make farms out of literally everything in this game. If you can build a warden farm in Minecraft, you've earned that right. It's a limitless sandbox survival game afterall. People should be able to play the game however they want. If you don't want to make mob farms, don't, but don't encourage the prevention of features and abilities that give the player even more ways to play. It hurts nobody. We're not playing on mass SMP survival worlds, most of us are playing singleplayer survival. Get over it.
@@kompst_tuMojang have said that they aren't gonna give the warden a good drop because "players aren't supposed to kill it". I mean, be thankful they didn't make the warden invincibe, because they actually thought of doing that
"It's not a fair comparison to compare a modder to a dev at mojang" Yeah, the devs have access to source code and tools the modders don't. It just makes them look even worse at their job.
In my opinion, the rate at which the game is updating and the number of new features added is actually too much, not too little. The issue is they will add a new update along some theme and only touch on the most surface level details and then leave that feature completely alone for the next 5 years. The number of features since 1.12 has skyrocketed, but honestly with the exception of the new villager trading all of them are not enjoyable in the slightest. I think either Mojang should get rid of themed updates entirely (probably a hit to marketing so that probably won't happen), or they should at least not shy away from adding or changing features from other themes, or choose the theme of the update last after they decide on all the features they change (I think that's how it used to work pre-1.13). Just because 1.20 is probably already themed doesn't mean we shouldn't get some new nether biomes or villager balancing. This way the depth of new features can be expanded on without us having to wait 10 years, allowing the game to evolve more dynamically as it did in it's early days.
I feel as mojang is too scared to actually add complex and creative features again. They probably think the community will probably react with negativity (to be fair anything and even something good that mojang does is always gonna be reacted with negativity) but honestly seeing how they took big steps and added a whole new armor set/weapons that were stronger then diamonds and literally changing how the game generates terrain massively, they might come out of their bubble. As for now, there still scared to actually add conplex features.
for the quality of life mods point, I totally agree, however they can't put a lot of optifine mods in the game because optifine straight up said no, at one point mojang asked to actually fully implement optifine into base Minecraft but the creator said no
Not adding sharks because they don't want real world aggressive creatures? Sharks aren't aggressive they are timid creatures, they could make them neutral
It is just so astonishing to me how Mojang is actually fooling most of the Minecraft community by yes providing updates but ads nothing of value. First time I played the bee update with friends it was clear that 1/7 of us were interested in them, and just because bees are cute. For us others it was business as usual. And you can argue that you make ur own adventure/story etc. But at least it should keep me mentally engaged. Looking forward to testing out the Create mod.
"Minecraft runs really well on almost every device on the planet" is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Great video tho seriously. Instantly subbed after watching the dishonored one.
"You have never made this" Me: if you say so *stares at the SMP I play on with a bunch laying all over the oceans and rivers for that underwater cave mining
Ive been on about this for years, ever since Microsoft announced they bought Mojang it went downhill, the updates quality is still there but lackluster and has no direction for the game, heck they didn’t bother updating the old structures with new blocks so its just there with no exploration in mind. And that they want this game feels the same while trying to make it educational baffles me. Just do it education edition, nobody wants to play a game just to learn environmental problems. That’s why people are switching to different games or waiting for hytale
@@thebreadbunny1863 1.7 add so many biomes, flowers, blocks and the latest updates just felt lack luster, yeah they did improve caves and cliffs but there could be better stuff for copper, more stuff for amethyst crystals, heck the new mobs are just there and provide nothing for the game or just lazy reskins (panda,glow squid,husk,stray.) and probably many more if they continue this direction.
@@SingularityDeagle that was a minor part of a far bigger update, and it was exactly what the community voted for. Also, the next biome vote revamped all of terrain gen, so
I think the problem Minecraft has right now is that its developers are trying to be too safe. If they add sharks or alligators then they risk getting a worse rating (which currently is E for Everyone). Minecraft developers also probably don't have enough creative freedom to truly do the things they want.
"mojang is not lazy" they literally took almost 3 years to make a thing that was already made before,and even get rid of some functions and then create fake excusses,and when you say "mojang have to create everything from zero" and "mojang is lazy at creating new things" ,doesnt mean every minecraft update is lazy?
For real. First time I felt this was back in 2015 when 1.10.2 came out I remember the day it came out exactly. And I never saw anyone else who agreed with me. I stopped playing for about 1.5 years. Thanks for the video
These eyebrow raising dramas weren’t the main reason I’m essentially retired from the game, but it is something that should be addressed and ask several questions about.
Thank you for addressing the lack of nuance when it comes to updates to older systems. Instead of thinking it through and deciding what solution would be the most fun, engaging, and challenging, they just skip to something simple so a six year old can understand.
My skeptical theory is that minecraft will purposefully allow mods to thrive by not adding new features, this in turn makes sure the pc version of minecraft is always going to be superior, now people will be buying both windows & java edition to play the best version of minecraft, this makes more profit for microsoft and mojang, since microsoft owns mojang it gets a double benefit.. this is a very loose theory but kinda makes sense logically.
This is such a well edited video with great commentary and i watched the whole thing because i love the topic and he knows how to keep people locked in he needs way more love this video is such an amazing short documentary.
Minecraft isn't a simple game, it just look simple because after all those years it didn't changed much so almost everyone know how to play it, but put someone that never had contact with Minecraft to play it, or just remember how it was in 2011, when almost no one knew how to play it... The argument of "they want to keep it simple" is just dumb and unreasonable
My only two problems with the game currently: Half the biomes are completely dead. And having to wait an entire decade for them to slowly give each biome a few little additions make no sense. We need a big biome update, even if it's purely decorative. Not necesarily to differentiate them, but common stuff that could appear in any biome (birds, rocks, more plants, some animals...) I also think we need a completely challenging structure where there's a huge chance you'll die. Most structures either have some way to avoid the danger or are very easy to go through. Something like ancient cities but where you don't have to sneak around and be quiet.
I love minecraft and how it's changed over the years. Your video excellently brings to light a lot of the problems we as a community have been facing but I feel like there is a bigger problem which I wish more people would talk about. The problem with world sizes and corruption. The greatest appeal to minecraft is the ability to build and grow the same world forever and see how it changes and progresses. But sadly most people can't do that due to files becoming too large. This is primarily and issue with bedrock edition, specifically realms. I've had two worlds now that I've played on for years, the first one died several years ago and I was unable to recover it though realms. So sadly we all made a new world which eventually became the greatest world I've ever been a part of making. Massive cities and hundreds of thousands of blocks traveled. But when you travel hundreds of thousands of blocks the file becomes "too large to download" according to realms. Then you start seeing corruption issues that force you to reset the world to a previous save over and over again to recover the world. Eventually, even that will stop working and the realm becomes impossible to save and load into. We just put to bed our world of the last 4 years because it got too big. I know most players don't make it that far but when a game starts to lose it's biggest fans to factors like that you know the game has a bigger problem. The game is advertised to be basically infinite but as soon as you cross some undefined boundary the world simply cannot handle it's own file size. So what's the point? If all the work we do will eventually overload the game, why play at all? Isn't minecraft supposed to be a game that never ends? It hurts to write this because I know in the grand scheme of things my world means nothing. But, when this keeps happening to people everywhere who put equal if not more into their worlds only to lose them it's proves my point. Mojang, stop trying to push us half completed updates and fix our game! Optimize the files and make the game run smoother before adding more content. You just added massive new world generation but haven't refined file sizes? We the community need to talk about this more in my opinion not just the watered down content. What are some of your opinions?
What sucks even more is that there are mods that came before copper was even an ore, essentially they added it but watered it down more vs what it used to be in modded, copper, great electrical conductor so is gold. Instead of adding Niche additions to the game. Why not add some science or something that helps everyone learn something unique and new.
Agnes mentioned during the most recent minecraft live that Mojang's vision for the game is longevity, which answers the question of why they aren't adding in huge updates or tons of mobs. They see it as they can add one mob and one feature per year and that stretches out the life of the game into the decades. We're 10+ years past the original launch of the game which is far beyond what 80-90% of most games will ever reach in terms of how popular it is, and this train isn't stopping. Mojang sees that and needs to keep it fresh and funky even at the cost of actually good content.
honestly some of these videos are people just ranting about how the developers don't give them what they want but they don't really consider that there are millions of people out there who the developers are ''responsible'' for giving the best posible expirience for the player Also, more o the same people mention ''oh but the mods'' not realizing that mods are *specific* being just for those who are actively looking for that kind of game changing mechanic
This is one of the reason why I think 1.19 is one of the better updates. Maybe it didn't add an entire new dimension, an it's only 1 biome, but I feel like the deep dark was actually really well done. It added an entire atmosphere that I've based my entire Minecraft world around. It added new sneaking mechanics, the largest structure in the game, and and honestly uniquely interesting and useful warden, structures, and the sculk family. I think that the deep dark was genuinely one of the most creative, and (in my opinion) best additions Minecraft has seen, which makes up for it, even if the update was relatively small. It's potential, creativity, atmosphere, and features are just amazing in almost all areas, if you're one who likes those features. Even if you're not, it's an optional engagement. I seriously think that the deep dark was one of their best ideas. The only thing it's really missing, is really more unique items & loot to get from the deep dark, which they've already started doing in 1.20, and potentially a deeper secret with the portal, which they may very well expand on in the future, as it defiantly has the potential to do so. I honestly think that the 1.19 update was a good direction for Minecraft to take a step in, and hope to see it expanded upon, and have future biomes have the same level of creativity of it. Then again, that's my opinion. Feel free to debate it.
I'm willing to bet Microsoft acquisition of mojang really sped all these problems up. I'm also glad someone other than me took the time to complain about useless mobs.
10:45 exactly how I've been feeling, thank you for putting it in words. Minecraft starts to feel stale because nothing really changes in it, they just add stuff that's pretty to look at

The bit about Mojang's commitment to environmental awareness is especially hilarious when you consider how the game has from the beginning practically forced the player to be environmentally unfriendly.
Need resources? Dig out massive stripmines, displacing local ecosystems entirely in your quest for materials.
Make the forest safe from creepers by cutting down every tree and spamming the area with light sources.
Food? Just cram a bunch of cows into a confined space that's on par with some of the worst factory farms in the real world!
Wool? Put a sheep into a small containment chamber, it will be sheared automatically every time it regrows its wool!
Villagers? Best, most efficient way to use them (and least frustrating too!) is to cram them into a small space where they must stand forever, never able to sleep, always waiting to restock their trades, and always in danger of being turned into zombies, and you'll Stockholm Syndrome (ironic) them into giving you massive discounts by curing them.
Mob farms? Lots run off of inhumane methods - iron farms rely on villager torture and gold farms rely on zombie pigmen trying to trample and crush turtle eggs, which btw can never hatch because they're not on sand - congratulations you have condemned innocent baby turtles to purgatory for a valuable resource.
List aside, it's absolutely asinine that Mojang doesn't want to add real life animals because "muh environmentalism" when the game has from its very inception, all the way up to the present day, *encouraged* environmental exploitation.
I think Mojang/Microsoft themselves forgot that minecraft is supposed to be imaginative. Literally add whatever animal or creature you want, it's a game encouraging you to go nuts. follow your own advice-
I guess, but feeding a parrot cookies is very different from all of that. some young kid might do the former, but I doubt they would play minecraft and come away wanting to do gentrification.
I never archived anything in Minecraft, because I had to replant every tree and leave all terrain exactly as I found it. I would carry wood block to build ledges for climbing, because I didn't want to destroy the natural mountain cliffs. I was horrified when I saw other people playing the game and leaving huge parts of the world in ruin. If you play this game as a game, then obviously the optimal way is to ruin the environment to gather as many resources as you need as fast as possible. But if you want to engage in the tiniest amount of role-play and treat the generated world like a real world that was given to you to care for and keep and make beautiful, then it's not optimal at all to ruin the view you have behind your window.
It's like Sims, playing to win is not the intended way to do it.
Am I the only guy who doesn’t confine villagers to small spaces? I let them just wander around town and wait on them to return to their workplace. Maybe I stalk them and steal their bed, but I wonder how many people share this same method.
@@voxelescent I am fine with walling off the Village to keep them safe but Most People already move them to their all over so what do you lose by trapping the villager in a cell? Nothing.
Something like that happened in Terraria where most people would make Apartments or Prison Cells to mass horde the NPC's and they added a tax if you horde the NPC's... with expected fire and brimstone.
The only reason the NPC were mostly spared is due to they added a Teleporting System linked to the NPC's

The thing I want the most is the most basic one :
Ambiance sound, like birds, wind, trees leaves … depending on the biomes (which should also get an update, I mean just how sad does the forest biome feel)

Mojang has laid out their rules for developing the game and what their vision for the game is very clearly. They know what game they want to create and they make it very clear that they try not to bloat the game with features. Are you saying you want the base game to... Be like a modpack?

Sharks could be implemented so well into the game. Have them work like wolves and be passive until you hit them and they hunt mobs. What if you could take them and they’d fight for you underwater!? That’d be so cool bro

As someone who plays bedrock, it runs like shit.
Ever since they refused to add sharks because they think that it will teach kids to attack sharks irl (which is like the whole videos game cause violence argument) I knew that they Mojang was changing for the worse.
i hate this argument so much, games dont have to 100% reflect real life and im sure most kids can tell the difference between a fictional block world and real life right?
While I agree with the sentiment, and abhorre the idea that video games make you violent, we have tangible examples of how widespread art has affected peoples views on animals.
There is a strong correlation between the release of Jaws, and the number of sharks killed by us. The image of sharks seems to have been heavily tarnished by Jaws, and the author of the original book tried and failed to fix their reputation. They might be an endangered species because of the cascading effect of ONE piece of art.
So I don't blame Mojang for being worried by the effect of such a large scale succesful game on people's perception of these animals.

Man I remember when the Iron Golem was added. I was so excited to see it.
But with the current Minecraft updates, I haven't been that excited. And that is depressing.
Don’t you think your perspective as a long time player might be a factor? The iron golem probably looked amazing to you as a kid, but how much do people use then for today besides iron farms? New features might be more exiting for newer players because everything seems new, but older players who understand the complexity of the game might think otherwise.

Now: Wow, Iron Golems, I can enslave villages for them to infinite generate iron!
Why don’t they update old stuff either, like the dolphins with saddles, new mode of transport, boom new feature. Goats don’t do anything except horns, make a block that uses a horn so people can use it in tandem with the not block and bell for music , boom new feature. The bat, make it destroy skulk or something or give it a drop which can combat the skull or warden or to just detect skulk, boom new feature. Update pigs , sheep’s and cows textures abit for instance horns for cows, snots and tails for pigs and more fluffy coats for sheep, also muddy variants like for Minecraft earth, boom new feature. Better foliage and biomes, Birch forest, add mushrooms that grow on the sides of them, hollowed birch which act like hoppers but only move down not to the side, more grass textures that are randomises for better foliage, more variety in trees so they are bushier, boom new features. Allays spawn randomly not just in dark oak mansions, allow them to be used to move stacks of item’s between two chests/ inventory’s, boom new feature. There are so many things they add which just end up being useless and with little updates and additions it would make the game so much better. Also they need to sort out the inventory
I had the idea of adding different levels of pockets to leggings and chestplates and headlights to helmets (neither are enchantments, they're something you craft onto armor), directly fixing the inventory size issue while also not only giving people another thing to reach for, but also making progression not just getting diamond, an iron chestplate that gives you another row of items is arguably better than a diamond chestplate.
Also, we need better dungeons. a 3x3 cobblestone cube with a spawner doesn't even remotely cut it anymore

@@purpleboy4949 well they are basically useless at the moment
@@valk2768 they said they arent doing that cus of animal cruelty or whatever
Mojang is “environmentally friendly”,
And they want to “represent animals realistically”,
that’s why the removed fireflies, it’s because *SOME* firefly species are poisonous to *SOME* frogs and they thought kids would force feed fireflies to frogs,
Same with dolphins,
They also want to add “endangered species”, like the retard axolotl and polar bear and they don’t want hostile animal mobs for some reason but it’s pointless, because polar bears don’t eat vegetables, they eat people and whatever meat they can find,
In other words, Mojang has gone “PC”

I honestly think it's time for mojang to shake minecraft up. Right now minecraft has 3 core pillars, building, crafting/exploration, and redstone. Each update adds on to each of these pillars, though typically whatever they add is either 1) too hard to get for what you get in return or 2) have too niche a use to be useful. I believe minecraft should honestly add a new "pillar" to work off of to keep the game fresh. Something like magic or reworking the potion system so there's an actual incentive to use it and it becomes a pillar of the game. Idk everything mojang does just feels like pointless detailing.
An overhaul to Magic, combat, and exploration would add so much
Imagine if they added more to the overall player arsenal (taking inspiration from mc dungeons). We could have a wider variety of gear where people can focus on different combat aspects (say a set that improves crossbow recharge but makes melee damage 20% less) would add alot. Make it so that full netherite isn't the final goal for everyone. Maybe there could be some deep ocean ravines that has gear suited for underwater use. Some sort of magic wand/crystal/structure that allows you to "tame" skeleton to fight alongside you like wolves. There are so many possibilities
@@alexs3469 i loved when they added zombie and skeletons variants to the game, and after seeing MC Dungeons i felt like this kind of thing could be explored further like armored mobs(not just random armor, i mean some actual high level monsters that are tougher and can spawn sometimes). Minecraft really needs to put more nuance in that "keep it simple" philosophy. They need to add depth to features that have none but make that depth not be a core mechanic that impacts average casual gameplay from someone who barely plays it but something that makes the more advanced minecraft players have something to do with them
@@alexs3469 idk man, I mean those specialized sets of armor could be cool but what for? I don't see any use for such specialization as the game is right now (in singleplayer at least, it'd be nice in pvps). There isn't much use to pve since you can make a farm for any resource you get from mobs, even xp.
For such a deep specialization of gear they first would have to make a need for it in some way.
Idk those were my thoughts, I'm interested to hear what you guys think.
A complete overhaul of combat would be nice. New weapon types, magic weapons, magic. All the good stuff. I’d also be a warm welcome if bedrock Edition also got the pvp update
@@alexs3469 yo, it has been confirmed potions are going to change since a dev confirmed in the future each potion will be a different icon. So we might get the magic update
I feel mojang’s design philosophy most of the time has them creating external additions rather than interacting with the systems and features the majority of players use. I think this is out of fear of upsetting players like they did with the combat update, but it’s a shame that it’s happening. Their best updates have come from bold decisions to fundamentally alter the progression and experience of the base game, because it helps old players like me enjoy the game again, and it improves the experience for a new player.
Combat update was just bad. Mods added sheilds way better way before mojang
This!!! Most of the updates feel like neat little additions that are attached to the outside of the core game, and that core game is getting less and less interesting the more neat stuff is placed on the outside, but the neat stuff on the outside is only useful for a bit.
The combat update was rad.

MAJOR hot take: The game really did lose it's touch when Notch left.
Say what you will about the guy, but he had a vision and a creative mind that fit well with Minecraft. The dude may have been experimenting here and there, but you could tell he wanted to go places, and going through older versions and their updates really made that clear. He was willing to try things and create fun, unique creatures and mobs that even minecraft today can't recreate. The current updates might have one or two things that make me go, 'oh, that's kinda cool I guess', (allay being a perfect example), but that's it. there's nothing that's been in the game that's made me really go 'wow' like back then. (kinda makes it a stab in the chest to see them not even invite the guy who built the game to the 20th anniversary party they had)
There's no drive, all the additions in the current updates have been focusing on trying to recreate 'real life' by adding in bamboo forests with pandas, goats in mountains, accurate bee simulation, frogs in swamps and... it's all just bland now. You look at the creeper and immediately think 'woah, that's weird and unique, I like it', but when was the last time Minecraft gave you that that same feeling? the creativity isn't there, Minecraft isn't the innovative, driving game it used to be when Notch was behind the lead, it's just a sandbox with an 'adventure' mode that really is just the basis for creating structures and redstone contraptions to show off to your friends, hell why even play vanilla when modded offers so much more than that?
the soul of minecraft is just completely gone, man.
A vision? That guy wanted to add princess towers!
You are kidding, right? The notch was the largest opponent of adding pistons at Mojang. I remember the time, when redstone was useful for opening doors and nothing else, Minecraft added many great things after notch. It was after Microsoft acquisition that the studio suddenly changed direction. Previously it was a game by geeks made for geeks and it was coincidental that kids happened to like it, now it intentionally targets its largest demographic and you are not in it.
@@lollertoaster The average Minecraft player is 24, tho.
notch is only one dude though, he can only read so many ideas. I enjoy the new complications, it makes you actually have to do things and take time instead of just baloneying around, to make fun creative things you have to do some work and I think it helps with burnout
Yeah man, it’s because it was bought by a soulless billion dollar cooperation
I think Mojang, when they decide they're actually going to do something, it turns out really well. 1.16, the new World Gen from 1.18, and on the smaller scale Frogs and the Mangrove Swamp are all great additions to the game and achieve everything they set out to do. The issue with Mojang I believe is that they're Short Sighted, not lazy. Examples given in the video of things like Mending making Anvils all but entirely useless is a good one, Elytra now dominate the game, the Caves and Cliffs are beautiful but they're a hassle to maneuver around without an Elytra. They add these great things, but they never add things to compliment these new features, or seem to think of the longer term ramifications of an addition. If they took that year to add other things to make the update even better, a great example is 1.14 adding in things like the Stonecutter as a peripheral thing that fit into the main update and achieved something, then I think the long wait would be more acceptable.
Though an elephant in the room that I think has been largely ignored, is the distrust towards Mojang that has developed over the past 2 years that is the fault of no one but themselves. It seems they've at least somewhat learned from the mistake of promising things for an update before they're done (Keep in mind the Warden was supposed to be in 1.17), but it doesn't wipe away the issues that came before. Then you have things like the Birch Forest revamp and Fireflies that could have easily been added without any issues, as especially with Fireflies all they would need to do is disable the ability for Frogs to eat them. This, I don't want to call it Dishonesty, so I'll say Overconfidence, is what has made a lot of people extremely miffed with Mojang in combination with everything else.
As for their "Environmentalist Message" it's just a farce to look good. I don't claim that lightly, but they've added things like Dolphins, Pandas, Polar Bears, and Parrots, and among them only the Dolphin does anything but spawn in a rare biome and exist. I get not wanting to add Aggressive Mobs from Real Life, but there's a ton they could do with Neutral mobs and just not have them attack the player unless provoked.
Finally a comment that isn't "modern Minecraft is garbage, old Minecraft is goat", first of all old Minecraft is only playable with mods, think about it the old minecraft updates are even simpler than the wild update and tales and trails update, in other words old Minecraft is boring and nostalgia based
And all the Nostalgiatards will attack me but i don't care because i'm based

You're welcome. Stayed up all night long watching those sort of videos once, from 9 pm to 8 am. If you know by any chance, I'm trying to find a few older TH-cam videos; A short, maybe 57 second FNAF 2 Garrys Mod animation, done entirely in sliding camera shots over still frames. I distinctly remember a model of the sniper, maybe with that goatee beard cosmetic or whatever, and it had a slightly faster, higher pitched cover of the man behind the slaughter song in the background, also with less instruments possibly.
Garrys mod map of gm_construct in minecraft textures, older video for sure.
Venturiantale video, small house map, papa achachella, and a tree prop (large one) fell down.
Minecraft tornado mod video, male voice with a cheap mic, further away from the mic for sure, custom asian map, he was in a rice field and got hit by a tornado, maybe british, definitely before 2015.
Minecraft video from way back in the day, it was an adventure map, maybe referencing vampires, very dark, prison? Player could only break clay, had to break clay and get under iron bars.
Not a video, but a ps2 or ps1 fps game, only level i remember was a gunfight in an airfield at night, highly lit up, several fighter jets, and you had to run to the command tower to get a briefcase; I always died trying to get to the briefcase or getting it and in a lone voice recording from the last time i played it, said it was something along the lines of "Spastist spy."
(spas-tist)
Garrys mod flood video by a MAYBE popular TH-camr, had a group of friends on a couch, and a wall of water hit them on a flat map with a custom concrete pad with ramped edges. I remember they were all early 20s around when i watched it (pre 2014(?)), They were on a couch when it hit, van prop used later.
Garrys mod tornado series from around 2012-2013, person made a bathtub car with a ladder, breens desk, large wheels, and took off and the video ended. Possibly related to these videos is the avia 31 prop in a seperate video being turned into a crude flying car, 2 or 3 people in the video.
Some ytp made before 2018, All i remember is a joke about one of those excercise tilt chair things being great for sex, then something about tap water using bieber to kill 99% of Germans. I remember the Discovery Family Hub logo.
Might update this later with anything else I can remember, but if you recognize anything or have any leads, it would definitely help.
mods have been lacking the fun and simplicity as well, it's not just mojang (even they're worse)
The amount of things they have promised that never came around is immense.
The amount of POTENTIAL this game had isnt prevalent anymore.
The mob vote for the phantoms why only just one? All of the mobs were cool and truly unique. What happened to fallen trees or combat overhaul? Why do only one biome revamp? Even just two biome revamps would be better than just the one.
A MULTI BILLION lemme repeat. a multi- BILLION dollar company WITH OVER 500 talented devs can't manage to keep the game fresh for more than 2 weeks. Can't even add 2 pixels that fly around because they are poisonous to frogs. Lets add 1 new block and a useless item.
People aren't angry at mojang, not in the slightest.
we're just dissapointed.
To be fair to Mojang, I think the real reason they didn't add fireflies is because they were unsure of how they would fit into the game. The new birch forest also never had any in-game footage, only concept art. These ideas were most likely scrapped because they were unsure how they fit into the game. For the biome vote as well, they have stated that the biomes that won would be prioritized while the biomes that didn't would still be updated, but later. And Mojang have only ruled out mobs from the 2017 vote, which means the others are still up for grabs.
I'd like to point out the time between the last truly _good_ mob to be added, the warden; and the second last good mob to be added, the evoker; was literally 6 whole years. It took Mojang a third of the entire time I've been alive to add a new mob that truly wowed me.
I'll never forget when they reskinned the zombie pigmen into the zombie piglins variation. They did an og mob very dirty
How is the warden a good mob? What does it do that makes it so good? You don't even need to go down where he spawns to beat the game
@@ybd It's not about beating the game but a mob that is truly unique.
but it isn't "good" it is just an opinion of yours. Bees are a good mob to me. Piglins are a good mob to me, heck even phantoms are a good mob to me (for what they were designed to do, I want them in the end instead of overworld tho)

Striders came out after the Elytra haha - really we are lucky to be getting free updates consistently, and more ways to play - I like playing in different ways, so sometimes I will trade for gear, other times I will mine for gear, and other times I will loot for gear 🤷🏻♀️ Its fun utilising the different forms of transport and mechanics, and for me some of the best things about minecraft are late game crazy farms and mega builds in a community with a few friends -
And that opinion is completely fair and should be respected!
I mean striders I find are better than people think. I've seen people get annoyed at having to travel through the basalt biome (I don't it might be my favorite nether biome) but striders make it a cake walk (no lava or magma block damage, just walking over the uneven terrain instead of parkouring over it.
Truthfully I've almost exclusively played modded Minecraft since probably 2012, tons of mods that add new stuff though not stuff I'd inherently think would be fitting to the base game. A good video and highlights a decent amount of points; shoot Mojang could just look to Alex Mobs to see some of the unique abilities those critters have for inspiration. Most of the new updates haven't really captured my interest apart from the great new world height, depth, and cave generation. I missed having lots of fancy cave systems and it was nice to have an update dedicated to that.
Honestly I loved what they did with the villagers. Before that update there was almost no reason to go to a village. At least now villagers have useful trades and I have a reason to keep them around.
There is still alot of unhit potential with villagers and villages honestly
i do think the diamond armor/tool trades are op. I'd rather them be iron but that's my opinion
but they op af
Nah. For me villages lost all value after the update. For a simple reason: how common they are. I remember in past, coming across a village was so rare it legit felt like coming across civilization after spending years stranded alone.
I wish they added the mobs they promised to from previous votes. Would serve as a nice small update in between larger ones.
They also have a full development team, and can only come out with a single new mob every summer. Making a blocky entity with new features should take a few days for the development team.
EXACTLY. No matter how much they say "its far easier to create mods than to code the game" and "we have to think of how would this add to the game and other features" and then they go and add ONE usseless mob and an new item with only ONE spesific use. All that in 6 months while still having a 50+ member team...
@@rogoznicafc9672 something you need to remember is that there is also a ton of other factors involved in adding something than just coding it in. There is marketing, design iterations, and planning. There is also any potential unforeseen bugs and issues that they might run into (which is very likely), and parity is another issue. And despite the relatively simple graphics, Minecraft’s internal code is very complex due it being a Sandbox. Keep in mind, this is a sandbox game. Other games like Minecraft dungeons can easily have set levels and monsters that nail the atmosphere because you don’t need to worry about the player breaking blocks.
Id rather have a few new balanced features with interesting memorable designs that feel like they fit in the game, than 50 new boring mobs that were slapped together with duct tape in a day, do the exact same thing, are buggy, and absolutely destroy the game balance.
That’s not even taking into consideration making sure the path finding is actually good, and also the fact that an update that large that comes out that quickly might feel way too overwhelming for some players.
And the developers who have said mods are easier to work on used to be modders themselves (ex: kingbdogz is one of the creators of THE original aether mod). Unlike modding, which uses an existing framework, the developers are working on the base game and have to create features from the ground up. Also, not all 50+ developers are coders. Some of them are artists or work on sounds and music. And even then, some developers also mainly fix bugs or work on back end technical improvements.
Also, the last time an update only came with one new mob (besides 1.17 which focused on overhauling worldgen, and 1.15, which was a much needed bug fix update) was 1.9, which only added shulkers (and even then, they also added skeleton traps).
Adding a bunch of new blocks and flowers in a biome sounds nice, but they will also make the current inventory problems way worse.
That isn’t to say there aren’t things Mojang does that I don’t like, but most of these are related to their design philosophy and not their content output (ex: Mojang having a bias towards passive mobs in recent updates, trying to give every feature a use regardless of what it is and scrapping it otherwise).
@@PraiseHeavyLobsterthe inventory system being something Mojang outright refuses to fix or consider solutions for
@@Weldedhodag there have been a few attempts at fixing it, like with bundles (although iirc they were having trouble getting them to feel right in bedrock due to mobile controls). The 1.19.3 changes to the creative inventory is also a step in the right direction, and the devs have acknowledged that the current inventory system has a lot of issues that need to be addressed. It’s just a pretty major issue to tackle while also making all players happy, so a lot of big ideas on how to fix it usually fall outside the scope of an update.
"Should take a few days" is VERY debatable. A couple of weeks at best if we're talking brainstorm phase all the way to the final fleshed out and polished product.
Honestly this video needed to be made. Aside from the Nether Update (Which slapped) the newest updates have all been disappointing. 1.20 looks like the absolute worst update since 1.9, they just added random bullshit that doesn’t affect the game in any positive way and called it an update

Because a lot of the code is extremely old and has some glaring errors between bedrock and Java but yea it’s a bit absurd to do EVERY update
the old code is a real shithouse of a mess
Because Java is a compiled programming language (there's way more behind it, but it gives off the idea) , to run anything it must always be compiled first, therefore to produce an update they have to "build the game all over again", it's nothing that should matter that much and its even a pretty common practice, since most games are programmed using compiled languages

The copper thing is so true. Imagine how useful copper could be as a completely different way to transmit signals that redstone or what it could do if it just straight up transmitted redstone. It would be sick.
How you described Minecraft at 2:50 , reminded me how Epic Games overhauls anything that upsets players who have trouble winning. The problem I see nowadays is that developers think anyone who plays video games is young and doesn't understand. Minecraft with the more simple and easy enchantments, Fortnite with random tips popping on the screen, and even on GoW Ragnarök *no spoilers for the character even if you know*, Atreus, and Mimir just keep saying "Shield Block!" Or something like that
Oh noooooooo, random tips on my screen, what shall i doooooooo!
@@Artician there’s nothing wrong with the tips themselves, the problem is that they get put in tips instead of actually fixing things
About the frog thing, I had to tell my little sister to not feed slime to frogs.
that aether reference hit me so hard… as someone who only plays minecraft in spurts now it’s sad to see how far the updates have fallen. i remember being so excited for 1.4 (the pretty scary update) but that changed pretty soon after that unfortunately…
Literally if a modder could port and improve the caves for the older modpacks, would be amazing.
Hell I would just play the old Technic Singleplayer if I could.
@@Subject_Keter ehh, I don't know, unless there is a mod that extends the higher limit for older versions (I know 1.12 has cubic chunks but that's still in developement still)
Mojang: we don’t want to encourage kids to do things that harms them or the environment.
“Kid dies from trying to get honey from beehive because he did it in minecraft”
Minecraft Dungeons has dirt with cobble bits in it and the fact that isn't in the main game makes me very upset...
u completely put all of my emotions into better words tbh, minecraft has just felt so lifeless now and I hope there will be a change in the future.
I think the number one issue with Mojang and the development of Minecraft might just be the size of the team. There appear to only be a HANDFUL of Minecraft gameplay devs at any one time. Like, less than 10. This to me is absurd. Minecraft is an absolutely HUGE game. There are literally hundreds of thousands of bug reports. There are two completely separate versions of the game. Why is there SUCH a small dev team?
If there were double the devs, or even triple, the likelihood is we would see updates a lot faster. They could be much more fleshed out. But right now, this tiny dev team is incredibly overworked and burned out, particularly after the Nether Update and Caves & Cliffs. We already know that the Nether Update was "one of the most stressful updates of all time", likely involving much crunching, and C&C was so big they had to split the update in two halves to save the health of the team.
Guys. You make 9 digit revenues every year.
HIRE MORE DEVS.
well said
Mojang has like 600 developers as of 2021
Bottom line is that Mojang is incompetent. There is no argument that you can say that exempts them from this fault. They're not lazy but stupid.
Exact
So many small updates and changes that could be added:
1). Redstone lamps should be able to be dyed all dyeable colors
2). Wither Skeletons should drop charred bones which can become charred bone blocks and charred bonemeal which has a chance to have an effect double that of bonemeal but a small chance to reduce a crops stage down one
3). Fill in the missing gaps of stone types (Some stone not having cracked, mossy, or chiseled variants)
I mean to be fair those 3 changes alone add up to about 22+ blocks and an additional item that works as a foil for another item already in the game. You could also do other small changes like:
4). Make furnace flames look blue if you use Nether-Based resources as fuel
5). Make composter's have equal chance of giving out an apple when putting leaves in as if your normally destroying leaves
Honestly Mojang needs to stop expanding outward and start deepening what they have in the game at the moment. Small stuff like this is getting massively overlooked, I mean seriously, how hasn't the stone issue been resolved yet? It's been years and yet multiple stone blocks are just completely missing out of the pallet, yet they have time to re-do the entirety of caves, mountains, swamps, and time to make an entirely new biome with new structures and mobs galore, yet they won't just add 6 simple blocks into a pallet.
1. wouldn't work with the lighting engine and re-doing the caves, mountains, and swamps would go with what you said with deepening what is currently in the game
@@chezzy1908 He meant what the lamps _look_ like... nobody cares about the actual light color, and the redstone lamp is visually just orange-yellow-ish in color.
Also, what happened to pairity changes? I remember bedrock having the ability to store potions in cauldrons and dying water with them as well for unique armor colors. None of that made it to Java nearly 7 years later
Dyed redstone lamps will never happen because of there being no colored lighting in the game, and if they did add colored lighting, they would have to rewrite the entire lighting engine that from what I've heard talking with modders is very slow and terribly written. Otherwise, there would be no point to them.
I wish there were mossy deepslate bricks and cobbled deepslate, and that dungeons below y0 used it.
Blue flames only happen when soul sand or soul soil is lit on fire, and I'm pretty sure you can't use soul sand or soil as furnace fuel.
@@Crackers0106 There are three different colors of froglights... did they require a revamp in the lighting system? *No.* Dyed redstone lamps would just have a different block texture, it shouldn't be hard to understand.

Now this has easily been the video I’ve become most proud of in the past year of this channel. It really puts together a few years of frustration into words!
I would really mean the WORLD to me if you could share this video with even just 1 friend to help get those algorithmic steroids going!
this video is really great :) I liked it
You’ve done great, love seeing a new post on your channel:] easily one of my new comfort youtubers
It’s a good video! 10/10 confetti explosions 🎉🎉🎉
It’s great, you did really well. Keep it up bro 👍
I've been wanting to make a video like this for a while, but I've been scared of it underpreforming. This is nice to see!
We see this with a lot of global franchises though. The creative team is motivated to keep Minecraft static and recognizable to market to the widest audience possible.
This is probably why they usually don't expand on older features now; those features are iconic, cemented in valuable nostalgia. Instead they can add new items and features that evoke the same style and function that people remember.
They're not lazy, their goals just aren't necessarily the same as ours. Mods are meant to expand the game and make it more fun. Updates are meant to strategically increase the value of the game while staying faithful to the original vision of the most popular game in the world.
That's the part I think people are really missing here. Especially post-Microsoft, Minecraft has to be like Pokemon now. Each new generation is more content, more products, more screaming-goat t-shirts and plushies to sell to make up for the fact that the updates are free. Thankfully (and not unlike Pokemon), because of the sheer size of the community, there's always gonna be someone who sees how much better things could be, and that's something I suspect we'll get to enjoy for a long time after the game is driven into the ground. I of course hope it doesn't go that way, but my point is that even if it does we'll be alright.
Personally think a optimisation/parity update should be high priority. Not running a bad system but recently upgraded from rtx2060 to 3060, had optifabric but yet to install it and java chugs hard in vanilla with default settings. Yet bedrock just works.
Will say after a break from streaming/playing coming back to the latest official release of the game I am pleased to see early game progression on new worlds is harder, or at least that was my experience on both versions from a few seeds I tried.
Optimization does not sell well. They have to do what they can and optimize little parts of the game while still adding shiny new features for the kiddies
Use sodium and iris instead of optifabric since they perform a ton better for strictly performance. There are many other mods that bring other things from optifine, and they all work together alongside other mods a lot better than optifabric does. (Additional mods include C2ME, Animatica, Colormatic, Enhanced Block Entities, Lithium, Starlight, OptiGui, and many more)
If you're on a laptop make sure you are not using the built in graphics card
Java runs on additional layer of abstraction, at a certain point you cannot optimize any more. From my experience, optimized code is hard to work with, I used to often rewrite portions of codes I erased, because I had to add a new feature and it wasn't possible without a code. Bedrock runs directly on your CPU, this is why it will always be faster.
if they tried only optimizing the game, "fans" would just complains about not getting features
Easily the worst part is what’s been happening with the mobs, and it’s not getting any better. Horses were a good addition, but then they added the Mule, Donkey, Llama, Goat, and Camel. Has anyone ever used these mobs for more than five minutes? The mobs they add either intentionally have no function (foxes, polar bears, pandas) or are so outclassed that they’ll never see use (all the previously mentioned mobs). It wouldn’t be an issue if these mobs weren’t touted as premier features for new updates.
Incredible Video! Subbed! I have been watching the game since the start of 2011 and playing the game since spring of 2012, so I can also say I have seen the ups and downs of the game.
The main issue it seems is just complete lack of direction and replayability, idk who calls the shots there but its ruining the game. They have one update where they add a system or change that impoves the game, (nether update, cave update, aquatic update) and then they just completley fumble other updates by adding nothing of real use. (1.15,1.17,1.19,1.20, etc.)
You're bandage argument is the best I heard in a while, it really boils down to they see it not about improving the game, but instead fixing the game. People say "minecraft is boring and has no replayability" So instead of improving the biomes, redstone and other systems that exist already, they instead add a few new blocks and a new animal that will serve no purpose except give 1-2 new items and call it a update. They say its "fixing the problem by adding more things for the player to do and see" but after like a day what they add becomes boring.
And when they "improve" a already made system it ends the same way as before, perfect example is like you said with the villagers. Problem was people felt they were boring and didn't have any custom/replayibility. So they made new buildings, improved trades slightly, then just made it so people could assign jobs to villagers. These additions ended up to be mostly cosmetic, and the assign jobs feature did nothing except for just increasing the size of already made trading halls. They "fixed" villagers, but never truly improved them.
As for the people who say mojang is lazy or sucks I disagree too, they arent lazy thats clear by like what you said creating new systems. They just have some terrible game design desicions or microsoft forcing them to do certain things. I don't know, and I doubt we will know for sometime.
All else I got to say is the mob votes are a marketing stunt 100%, the latest one seems rigged in terms of the other 2 mobs being made to look terrible by having zero functionality. And the marketplace is really cool, however I think microsoft may be the problem with this one, imo they won't let mojang add it to the game since it seems to be proiftable for them to keep it seperate.
In conclusion, I agree with you completley, and honestly its kind of sad that the game seems to be returning to these same issues that kept the game dead years ago. Whether we see changes to this we will have to see, but I think minecraft is just in a better place overall then it was from 2016-2019 so thats good at least.
Anyways great video, I plan to make my own commentary on mojang's decline as of late in one of my own vidoes, and I will be sure to mention your video espically as nailing the problems with current minecraft. Have a good day and thanks for making the vid!
Bro this is an awesome video! The narrating, editing, writing, and the continuity were all incredible and I think it sums up many of the issues Mojang and Minecraft have been dealing with over the past few years, along with the players' frustration with them about that.
Well, now they're going after the community. Censoring words, guns, servers, heck, you can't even have sponsors anymore without breaking their stupid community guidlines. I think it might be finally time to let Minecraft rest in peace.
You know the quote about dying a hero or living long enough to become the villain? Minecraft (update wise) should've been category one.
You made the previous 10 years better, sorry you had to go down like this, Minecraft.

Broken promises, useless mobs, the Warden being insanely overpowered and dropping nothing after taking an hour to kill it, incredibly underwhelming updates, Mojang refusing to give us cool stuff because of their hypocritical stance on environmental preservation.
Seriously nobody playing Minecraft is actively thinking about the environment and learning environmental preservation while they're playing the game. In fact, it encourages the dead opposite. Do you see "preserve the environment" when players blow up villages, make trading farms, breed cows until they're crammed and can't move, etc etc etc?
and don't tell me the Warden is a "passive" mob and that killing it is essentially like "killing a blind man" that is such a stupid argument. The Warden doesn't spawn in peaceful mode for a reason. Because it's a hostile mob, and it's a hostile mob because it's always in a constant state of trying to attack and kill you as soon as it spawns. Unless you throw a snowball, it automatically knows where you are upon spawning and starts coming after you despite being blind. If you move out of his path, it doesn't matter because he sniffs you out and adjusts his direction so he can come after you, and when he gets close to you, even if you're standing still and not making noise, he still attacks. Why isn't he neutral when he spawns? Why can't you just wait him out? Why upon successfully being able to kill the thing in survival do you NOT get a reward for it? At least give us a ton of xp. Would make sense too for the biome we're talking about, but no, the community doesn't want that because they're afraid of people making farms out of it... Dude, so what? People make farms out of literally everything in this game. If you can build a warden farm in Minecraft, you've earned that right. It's a limitless sandbox survival game afterall. People should be able to play the game however they want. If you don't want to make mob farms, don't, but don't encourage the prevention of features and abilities that give the player even more ways to play. It hurts nobody. We're not playing on mass SMP survival worlds, most of us are playing singleplayer survival. Get over it.
@@kompst_tu Just don't fight it lmao
@@kompst_tuMojang have said that they aren't gonna give the warden a good drop because "players aren't supposed to kill it". I mean, be thankful they didn't make the warden invincibe, because they actually thought of doing that
Welp, this just destroyed the people who criticize the game for being "too boring" or the people who want more features in updates.
TAKE THAT TWITTER
"It's not a fair comparison to compare a modder to a dev at mojang" Yeah, the devs have access to source code and tools the modders don't. It just makes them look even worse at their job.
It's actually way easier to make a mod for a game then just to put it in the game
In my opinion, the rate at which the game is updating and the number of new features added is actually too much, not too little.
The issue is they will add a new update along some theme and only touch on the most surface level details and then leave that feature completely alone for the next 5 years. The number of features since 1.12 has skyrocketed, but honestly with the exception of the new villager trading all of them are not enjoyable in the slightest.
I think either Mojang should get rid of themed updates entirely (probably a hit to marketing so that probably won't happen), or they should at least not shy away from adding or changing features from other themes, or choose the theme of the update last after they decide on all the features they change (I think that's how it used to work pre-1.13). Just because 1.20 is probably already themed doesn't mean we shouldn't get some new nether biomes or villager balancing. This way the depth of new features can be expanded on without us having to wait 10 years, allowing the game to evolve more dynamically as it did in it's early days.
I feel as mojang is too scared to actually add complex and creative features again. They probably think the community will probably react with negativity (to be fair anything and even something good that mojang does is always gonna be reacted with negativity) but honestly seeing how they took big steps and added a whole new armor set/weapons that were stronger then diamonds and literally changing how the game generates terrain massively, they might come out of their bubble. As for now, there still scared to actually add conplex features.
for the quality of life mods point, I totally agree, however they can't put a lot of optifine mods in the game because optifine straight up said no, at one point mojang asked to actually fully implement optifine into base Minecraft but the creator said no
I think most people suggesting Mojang should do things differently assume they don't already know and simply choose not to
Not adding sharks because they don't want real world aggressive creatures? Sharks aren't aggressive they are timid creatures, they could make them neutral

It is just so astonishing to me how Mojang is actually fooling most of the Minecraft community by yes providing updates but ads nothing of value.

I think the problem Minecraft has right now is that its developers are trying to be too safe. If they add sharks or alligators then they risk getting a worse rating (which currently is E for Everyone). Minecraft developers also probably don't have enough creative freedom to truly do the things they want.
"mojang is not lazy" they literally took almost 3 years to make a thing that was already made before,and even get rid of some functions and then create fake excusses,and when you say "mojang have to create everything from zero" and "mojang is lazy at creating new things" ,doesnt mean every minecraft update is lazy?
They aren't. Modders will always tell you that coding a game is way harder than modding it.
For real. First time I felt this was back in 2015 when 1.10.2 came out I remember the day it came out exactly. And I never saw anyone else who agreed with me. I stopped playing for about 1.5 years. Thanks for the video
These eyebrow raising dramas weren’t the main reason I’m essentially retired from the game, but it is something that should be addressed and ask several questions about.
Thank you for addressing the lack of nuance when it comes to updates to older systems. Instead of thinking it through and deciding what solution would be the most fun, engaging, and challenging, they just skip to something simple so a six year old can understand.
"The community is the most important part"
Mojang after trying to destroy their community by banning them and their creations : 😬😵
My skeptical theory is that minecraft will purposefully allow mods to thrive by not adding new features, this in turn makes sure the pc version of minecraft is always going to be superior, now people will be buying both windows & java edition to play the best version of minecraft, this makes more profit for microsoft and mojang, since microsoft owns mojang it gets a double benefit.. this is a very loose theory but kinda makes sense logically.
This is such a well edited video with great commentary and i watched the whole thing because i love the topic and he knows how to keep people locked in he needs way more love this video is such an amazing short documentary.
Minecraft isn't a simple game, it just look simple because after all those years it didn't changed much so almost everyone know how to play it, but put someone that never had contact with Minecraft to play it, or just remember how it was in 2011, when almost no one knew how to play it... The argument of "they want to keep it simple" is just dumb and unreasonable
Really good video
However I did make a conduit and use a trident before so that cold read was way off
My only two problems with the game currently:
Half the biomes are completely dead. And having to wait an entire decade for them to slowly give each biome a few little additions make no sense. We need a big biome update, even if it's purely decorative. Not necesarily to differentiate them, but common stuff that could appear in any biome (birds, rocks, more plants, some animals...)
I also think we need a completely challenging structure where there's a huge chance you'll die. Most structures either have some way to avoid the danger or are very easy to go through. Something like ancient cities but where you don't have to sneak around and be quiet.
I love minecraft and how it's changed over the years. Your video excellently brings to light a lot of the problems we as a community have been facing but I feel like there is a bigger problem which I wish more people would talk about. The problem with world sizes and corruption. The greatest appeal to minecraft is the ability to build and grow the same world forever and see how it changes and progresses. But sadly most people can't do that due to files becoming too large. This is primarily and issue with bedrock edition, specifically realms. I've had two worlds now that I've played on for years, the first one died several years ago and I was unable to recover it though realms. So sadly we all made a new world which eventually became the greatest world I've ever been a part of making. Massive cities and hundreds of thousands of blocks traveled. But when you travel hundreds of thousands of blocks the file becomes "too large to download" according to realms. Then you start seeing corruption issues that force you to reset the world to a previous save over and over again to recover the world. Eventually, even that will stop working and the realm becomes impossible to save and load into. We just put to bed our world of the last 4 years because it got too big. I know most players don't make it that far but when a game starts to lose it's biggest fans to factors like that you know the game has a bigger problem. The game is advertised to be basically infinite but as soon as you cross some undefined boundary the world simply cannot handle it's own file size. So what's the point? If all the work we do will eventually overload the game, why play at all? Isn't minecraft supposed to be a game that never ends? It hurts to write this because I know in the grand scheme of things my world means nothing. But, when this keeps happening to people everywhere who put equal if not more into their worlds only to lose them it's proves my point.
Mojang, stop trying to push us half completed updates and fix our game! Optimize the files and make the game run smoother before adding more content. You just added massive new world generation but haven't refined file sizes?
We the community need to talk about this more in my opinion not just the watered down content.
What are some of your opinions?
What sucks even more is that there are mods that came before copper was even an ore, essentially they added it but watered it down more vs what it used to be in modded, copper, great electrical conductor so is gold. Instead of adding Niche additions to the game. Why not add some science or something that helps everyone learn something unique and new.
Agnes mentioned during the most recent minecraft live that Mojang's vision for the game is longevity, which answers the question of why they aren't adding in huge updates or tons of mobs. They see it as they can add one mob and one feature per year and that stretches out the life of the game into the decades. We're 10+ years past the original launch of the game which is far beyond what 80-90% of most games will ever reach in terms of how popular it is, and this train isn't stopping. Mojang sees that and needs to keep it fresh and funky even at the cost of actually good content.
honestly some of these videos are people just ranting about how the developers don't give them what they want but they don't really consider that there are millions of people out there who the developers are ''responsible'' for giving the best posible expirience for the player
Also, more o the same people mention ''oh but the mods'' not realizing that mods are *specific* being just for those who are actively looking for that kind of game changing mechanic
(sorry for the spelling mistakes)
This is one of the reason why I think 1.19 is one of the better updates. Maybe it didn't add an entire new dimension, an it's only 1 biome, but I feel like the deep dark was actually really well done. It added an entire atmosphere that I've based my entire Minecraft world around. It added new sneaking mechanics, the largest structure in the game, and and honestly uniquely interesting and useful warden, structures, and the sculk family. I think that the deep dark was genuinely one of the most creative, and (in my opinion) best additions Minecraft has seen, which makes up for it, even if the update was relatively small. It's potential, creativity, atmosphere, and features are just amazing in almost all areas, if you're one who likes those features. Even if you're not, it's an optional engagement. I seriously think that the deep dark was one of their best ideas. The only thing it's really missing, is really more unique items & loot to get from the deep dark, which they've already started doing in 1.20, and potentially a deeper secret with the portal, which they may very well expand on in the future, as it defiantly has the potential to do so. I honestly think that the 1.19 update was a good direction for Minecraft to take a step in, and hope to see it expanded upon, and have future biomes have the same level of creativity of it.
Then again, that's my opinion. Feel free to debate it.
Its sad how despite mojang taking community advice they still don't fix these problems
I'm willing to bet Microsoft acquisition of mojang really sped all these problems up. I'm also glad someone other than me took the time to complain about useless mobs.

10:45 exactly how I've been feeling, thank you for putting it in words. Minecraft starts to feel stale because nothing really changes in it, they just add stuff that's pretty to look at
