Is Minecraft Finally Getting Better?

- Over the past few years, Minecraft and Mojang have fallen in the eyes of some in their community. Today, I want to talk about why this happened as well as how recent snapshots for 1.21 have begun to heal that broken community. It feels like minecraft is finally moving in the right direction and I couldn't be happier for it.

Special thanks to YOU for checking out my content! - Hry
Hey all! This video was a lot of fun to make! I did some neat edits and changed up my style a little. I took inspiration from some other CZcams channels (lol channels that don't even do Minecraft content) to try and expand my editing knowledge! I want to keep making video essays, but I also wanna make some more varied content! If you want to help make that happen, consider subscribing or becoming a member! It helps out a ton! Thanks for watching! :D
Negativity is unfortunately a trend in CZcams, even in this video you bring Mojang down quite a bit.
You try to keep everyone on your side. I get that both these thing help you get more views so, you can keep doing these but some people just won’t like it.
I think with 1.21 the positivity is starting to rise again but some people stay stuck in the past a bit to much…
to me they are still quite lazy, the new dungeon is nice but the underground biomes are still underwhelming, the end and also the nether need more biomes to explore even if it's variations on the existing ones, the game becomes dull quickly if you like to explore like I do, something as trivial to make as a fungal cave, underground lake or river biome, or even simple nether biomes variations like windswept and old growth, similar to the overworld, that would make a world of difference for people like me that like to adventure to just see new stuff and be amazed by world gen to then construct a new base every time I see a beautiful place I want to visit again in the future
@@NotReal4 I don't know if where you live is like where I do, but here companies need to work hard to keep their clients and everyone needs to work hard no matter what they do to keep a good job position and get a raise, slacking off is not excusable, and of course, a company with people slacking off don't resist much.
I understand Mojang has some heavy quality control and they need to discuss and triple-check everything even before putting it in a snapshot and half of the stuff they work on gets scrapped, but even then it feels like they are way too slow, a company this big that delivers this little in so much time to me is really hard to excuse, I am willing to understand in the covid period for a slow down, they also did great with the nether update and the new generation update was nice as well but after that, to me, it's really hard not to think they are just being lazy while the other Mojang games get way more content than Minecraft, why is the main team of devs this slow...
The texture team is actually great tho, the number of new blocks with the quality they have it's Impressive on the least, I don't get how everyone else can't keep a decent pace, hopefully I'm just wrong and something really big is coming for 1.22
@@amelio7737 You know, the coding team spends most of their time optimising the old spaghetti Java code and turning it into bedrock code so that Minecraft can run at a decent pace their focus is making a well running game and if they can put new content in it.
If you look at the April fools snapshot this year a lot of computers can’t handle it, crash constantly have lots of bugs that duplicate items display wrong textures or sounds and even more.
The other Mojang games are being built in their own coding language with good code and it’s super easy to add new things.
I've seen it pointed out elsewhere, but 1.21 seems like it is largely an update making future updates more easy and fun. They can use things like trials spawners, vaults, and ominous events elsewhere, and have almost promised to do so. This really gives me hope that all these things arent just one-offs, but are actually used more.
They also did the whole item component change, which I have a suspicion that it's a tool for Mojang and future updates, not just for map/datapack makers.
This is called an Evergreen Feature, where it’s something that builds on the game, rather than added and forgotten and unconnected to the rest of the game
@@ErrorTechx I'm pretty sure they have already used them for the recent April Fools Snapshot
1.20 on the other hand…
Also 1.20 set up trims making new structures provide exclusive loot.
All I want is better tool progression. Iron is the third best tier in the game and you can get it in the first 10 minutes.
You do realize iron ore is one of the more common resources found in the game right. Iron armor is usually the first armor that you get because it is easier to find than gold, lether and diamonds.
The ore is also used in other ways like redstone or decorative blocks so iron never loses its value because it is used in far more things that aren't involved with tool progression.
The ore that actually needs changes is diamond ore because right now it is pretty useless after you get you first set of netherite armor, It needs more uses outside of tool progression. Mojang had made some steps twords making diamonds more useful by adding armor trimms so I hope In the future Mojang will give more reasons to actively look for diamonds.
Current Minecraft will always be shit until they revamp progression. Something clearer and cohesive along the lines of Terraria and they've got something interesting. As it stands right now, Minecraft is just a bloated corpse of decorative blocks and half baked ideas
That's exactly the problem! Iron is the 3rd best and it's the easiest to get! Gold and leather are garbage, so there are only three fully respected tiers of gear. That's some bad vertical progression. In my comment I mentioned this as well, and gave an option for a solution. Whatever they do, something must be done at some point.
A better way to solve it imo, is by buffing and debuffing armor while retaining most of its original properties. Something like making netherite weaker when in water or diamond being weaker to sound/aoe damage (including netherite but less) or gold being op af, but retaining super low durability.
@@Gigi4u So... getting the 3rd best tools in the game in under 10 minutes isn't a problem at all in progression?
I genuinely think that Mojang didn't add the fireflies for performance reasons on junk hardware.
that argument falls flat when they recently changed the latest update to *require* 64 bit systems
@@Naruto200Manrecently not then recently
@@Naruto200Man we have been on 64-bit for a very long time now. there is still junk 64-bit hardware. also, it wasn't their choice, they are keeping with LTS java releases

100% expecting this to be an April fools video
Edit: this video doesn't seem like a joke. This video goes hard
Lmao nah I made it a few days ago. Had I known the potato update was coming out, I would’ve made it all about that and how it’s the best thing to happen to the game
fr
@@TheGeekFactor_ I mean, it is the best update ever.
@@DaPrettyFungi now that's april fools joke
Ooh I would be curious to know everyone’s favorite update… mine might be 1.16… maybe 1.2 when they added jungles (cool biome)
I say make the next update about transportation and inventory, if they expand minecarts and boats, add the bundle finally, give more solutions for other inventory problems and maybe add one of the previous biome vote options, thats a whole update i think the community would love. After that, I think they could take a swing at an end update
Add something more with a theme, idk maybe redstone blocks
I agree with this comment, now I think something that could be really cool is trains, traveling at 1.5x the speed of minecarts and they use the train rails and they can have up to 10 mobs on it
@@nagatonagato4704 I think minecarts if expanded upon could fulfill the role of trains! Proper linking, more interesting derailment mechanics, and more functional minecart types
@@timohara7717 That too is a possibility, but the question is what the redstone community (and what the general playerbase) want more for redstone, because adding some very niche block that isn't needed would not be received as well as something that's been asked for many times
I totally agree. After getting an elytra, boats, horses, and mine carts become completely obsolete. Early game inventory management is a nightmare and only becomes tolerable with end game items like shulker boxes and end chests. I feel like people end up rushing to beat the game because the early game inventory and transportation is so inconvenient.
One hope I have is for the Vaults and Ominous events to be implemented in more structures- Vaults for items that quickly become tedious to find on servers like Netherite smithing templates and Elytras, and Ominous events for new challenges in big structures like Ocean Monuments and Woodland Mansions.
Ocean monuments and woodland mansions have soooo much potential is ridiculous
It's been confirmed that none of these features are designed specifically only for the Trial Chamber, they like Archaeology are fully capable of showing up later. Just not this update.
I feel they should expand on the deep dark and the end. Like if you happen to kill the warden you get to visit a new dimension with harder mobs and better loot. People hate to admit it but going from the overworld to the nether then the end was always fun as a kid.
You’re technically not supposed to kill the Warden, so if they were to add a new dimension it would have to be accessed another way, maybe you’d find something in the loot chests of the ancient cities.
I never liked the idea of the Warden being part of a new dimension cause I don’t feel like I’d want a whole new dimension when just the current ancient cities suffice.
@@thanoscreeperI was just going to say that
@@alphabros5226 i hope we get a new and original dimension in the future
Okay, hear me out, what if, instead of killing the Warden, we would have to LURE it to certain "altars" in order to activate the structure in the City? Some altars could be inaccessible, so you'd need to clear the rubble or build a path to them so that the Warden can go through without actually pissing it off, for example. That way we keep the whole stealth action horror thing intact, and use the mechanics of Warden's hearing to our advantage with snowballs, arrows etc, AND keep the idea that the Warden isn't worth killing
5:23 The issue here is not that Mojang is censoring content, but that they are enforcing this on privately hosted servers. If this were just on realms (as it had been for years prior) it would be fine, but expanding restrictions and bans to privately owned and operated servers is too far.
Why
@@TheGeekFactor_ Why are private servers too far? Because people spend their own money on them, host them on their own hardware, and *should* have complete control over them. If someone is banned for any reason, such as any and all swearing (this is enforced on realms), they are not only locked out of Mojang's servers but also servers that they themselves own. Server owners and moderators effectively have no say in what goes on in their servers anymore, as if they decide that a report is not appropriate, Mojang may step in and ban the user in question anyway. This is just off the top of my head. I'd recommend watching "Java chat reporting from the perspective of a server host".
If you really don’t want this, there are ways to disable it.
BUT I should say mojang is well within their right to do it. And I think morally, there should be a back up. Sometimes- more often than you’d think- server staff and owners are trying to scam kids or be creeps. Sometimes there needs to be that extra layer of safety
@@TheGeekFactor_ "If you don't want it you can disable it yourself" isn't an excuse to implement it in the first place, and it's very clear that Mojang doesn't want it to be disabled as they have continuously tried to break mods and plugins which disable it. I also don't buy that Mojang cares about kids like you say they do -- have you seen the sheer number of pay to win servers and servers which prey on children, which when reported to Mojang, have no action taken against them? They even promoted them on their server list a few months back, nearly the entire list was filled with those servers. I don't think that's a good enough justification to ban innocent people from playing the game they paid for on servers they paid for and own.
@@stardust-kyun You do have complete control over your server. No one has taken that away. You can choose to host Minecraft or not host Minecraft. The problem is not their legal right to censorship on their private property. The problem is their account system. And if morons wish to agree to their terms, then that's their choice. But you do not have a right to farm on their property. And that is what you are doing when you run Minecraft, which is Microsoft property, on your server. Microsoft has legal authority over both you and the players because you agreed to their terms when you migrated your account away from Mojang and onto Microsoft. What you should be doing is the same as me, never agree to those terms and demand either access to the product you legally paid for OR a refund. Which is what I have done, yet they refuse to give me either. This makes them criminals. They stole the game I legally paid for. They are criminals until they give every person like me that have refused their migration terms a full refund of their purchase price PLUS interest accrued since the initial request for said refund.
I want to reiterate what you've said about Minecraft's progression. The thing about progression is that, even though it's very important in keeping interest, it inherently can't do that forever. It's all the other stuff MC has that has made it the giant it is today. Open world, goals are set by the player and not just the game itself, has a wide selection of usable items, and has options for anyone, either the puzzle solver and engineer (they get redstone), the warrior (both pvp and pve), the explorer (huge array of biomes and structures), and nearly anyone else, it's got the perfect foundation for a long-lived game. I think the mace needs to be nerfed hard, but even if it's not nerfed it's a step in the right direction. Iron is extremely common and it's in the top three materials, a dumpster fire of a situation when it comes to progression, and there's little if any variety in the top tier gear. And aside from things like Ender Pearls and tipped arrows, there aren't a lot of items that add variety to combat. Minecraft needs more horizontal progression, sorely. And perhaps some degree of cosmetics, though banners on shields and smithing templates do a lot for that. The fact that iron is so high up despite being so easy to get (people literally skip leather armor because it's such a pain to get by comparison) shows that this game needs some more vertical progression as well. On TheGeekFactor's End Update video, I left a large comment that mentioned that an end ore should NOT be better than Netherite in strength, but should have benefits in other ways, like being able to attach your elytra to its chestplate or other similar things. Such a thing would go great directly above iron, maybe even as an upgrade to diamond like Netherite is but with equal stats to diamond. This would add depth to the top tier of gear in Minecraft. I have places to be, so I'll leave off at that. Good video man.
Pretty based take.
I am strongly against attaching the elytra to the chestplate, elytras are already insanely broken as it in
@@EmperorPenguin1217where did bro go
I am also really excited for this update. It's really cool to see Mojang trying out something new. This makes me wonder what the 1.22 update is gonna look like
im guessing 1.22 will be mediocre, they need time to get approval from microsoft to do the updates they actually want (food update plsplspls)
in the meantime, 1.22 will just be another 'small' update where they probably finally add delayed features (bundle) and probably add one biome that they said they wanted to update a while ago
im hoping that microsoft sees the amount of good reputation earned back from this update, they will be more willing to greenlight more ambitious and large features. its not like the devs cant do it, a singular dev literally made all of 24w14potato
1.22 is their 15 year anniversary update so it is gonna be big
1.22 is 2025@@SaishoVibes
5:30 they should be able to ban players, yes on their official servers.
If the server is not an official mojang server chat moderation should be the responsibility of the server staff.
I understand that argument, but then you have to remember you’re playing their game and interacting with their art. They give out these server jar files to let people make their own experiences on their game.
Like, if you made a game and made servers for it and your primary audience was children, would you really be okay with people saying racist or sexual shit to kids? What if staff isn’t on to stop it? What if staff are the ones doing it? There has to be an extra level of safety there. There are bad people in the world.
@@TheGeekFactor_ Who's to determine what's "racist" ? In a age where practically everything is considered offensive to someone, this is a dangerous stance to take, and gets political easily.
For instance, here's a non-exhaustive list of things considered racist in 2023:
-not wearing a mask
-the American flag
-the outdoors
-white paint
-clowns
-BMI Index
@@TheGeekFactor_ Spy cameras in cars, their car is their art. The moment I pay for it, it is mine. I bought the game. I pay for the server. It used to be a game for all ages, anyway, how do handel servers that aren't for kids? What about servers that don't use the most brand save language?

@@themaydayman ah
Dudes, lets not target everyone under the same umbrella of “Mojang”…. The state of the code vs what still gets achieved, its a wonder this indie block game runs at all
They've also done quite a decent job at reworking the code on those last few versions.
*@[**00:00** -- **00:13**]:* At the same time though, something concerning I have found from the other side is this...
In the comment section of CraftyMasterman's video about the Copper Bulb changes, CraftyMasterman pinned a comment saying this:
"I also want to say RIGHT HERE this is not an excuse to harass individual devs! I wanted to make this video as objective as possible, only about the changes and things that have been said by Mojang!", "Also the option of completely changing Bedrock's redstone IS NOT EASY! The video kinda frames it as an "obvious solution" but that's because that's the only long term one. Making Bedrock's redstone 20tps is a huge undertaking, and no it's not because of "performance" on low end devices. It's just really hard to undo a system that has been in place for years."
There were _still_ replies _to that comment_ justifying harassment of Mojang devs; in fact, there was even a reply containing this sentence:
"The only way we can save minecraft is to target the devs directly, whether that means doxxing, stalking, or taking the devs out of the equation entirely."
If you seriously think doxxing is an appropriate form of activism over a video game feature, then yikes...
Holy moly, what the fuck is wrong with those people? Some people go too far, and don't realize that the devs need to be treated with respect because they are humans with lives. They won't work harder and minecraft won't be saved if you target the devs by doxxing and stalking, and those people just need to have empathy in general.
@@syedomar1060: I was also hoping that CraftyMasterman's comment would inspire maturity way more than it actually did...
I just want copper to not be useless and meant purely for decorative blocks. Give it more uses, incorporate it into redstone somehow since IRL copper is an excellent conductor. Idk, anything besides more decorative blocks that I'm not gonna use. There's no point in me mining it except to make a spyglass, duster, and lightning rod.
Copper bulb is far better than lamps
You know copper bulb
Im just gonna spam copper bulb

What I really want now after I saw someone suggest it is enhanced boss fights with Ominous effects. Imagine going to the end with Ominous V and fighting a supercharged dragon, or tackling a wither five times more powerful than usual. It would help add new menace to bosses without buffing their base forms too much or introducing entirely new ones
That would be really cool
As someone who plays so off and on, I can never tell if what I’m seeing is actually in the game yet, if it’s promised or if it’ll never happen. I get so disappointed when I’m actually playing now but I have hope that that’ll change with new updates.
here's the current system: once a feature is publicly announced (leaks don't count) and enters snapshots/beta, it's guaranteed to end up in the game. some minor changes will most likely be made (e.g. copper bulb tick delay), but the feature and its core purposes will end up in the final version of the update
I really like your channel bcz you don't just go hating Mojang on everything and praise them when they get it right, the Minecraft community now is basically saying that everything mojang does is trash, that modders do better then them, and so on, After all, it generates more engagement to say bad things than good things, thats why whe see so much bad things on the news, anyway, thanks for the video and keep going dude, you're great!
I say this multiple times
"Minecraft does not need to become harder but more engaging"
And the trial chamber is a wonderful example.
The idea of multiple things to do in a game has been poorly executed in Minecraft. I know you can do anything you'd like to but what of when your out of ideas. This is when the already exists challenges and quests come into place.
Let me explain. You build your house you want to take the game slowly you build and take your time but after its done you end up a bit bored so you decide to to the nether and you have some more fun for a short while and then you run out of ideas again. You decide to go to the to the end.
If you noticed, the lack of engagement is pushing you to go faster than you want to. And when your done with all your ideas, builds and existing engagements in the game ( im talking about anything that is intended to keep you entertained in game ) you run out of things to do.
Mojang has taken the right step in the right direction with the trial chambers amd making the mace only accessible through them makes them an actual engagement with an actual price and not just some place you just go to for nothing in particular. And thats the mistake Mojang made with archeology. Its not actually giving you anything as a reward for your time just an egg which is kinda useless still.
It would also help if they didn't tell us everything about an update and just let us actually explore and see new things we were never aware of.
I would agree with the villager changes are needed but they need to fix these two things, anvils and book levels. If they fix one of these things than it would be much better. All they really need to do is remove the to expensive thing on the anvil, or have villagers have the chance to have maxed out book(like unbraking 3). If they did this then i would love the villager changes.
Chat reporting dosn't make sense if you know eveyone on the surver is an adult.
the "canceled" hanging vine plant from the sniffer was an insider leak, not a teaser. it was never meant to be seen and was probably replaced by the torchflower
I really like the new 1.21 update. I've been playing and updating my world with each snapshot and it's an amazing time. The villager rebalance is so much better
So they're ok with giving us the ability to kill parrots by feeding them cookies. But a frog dying on it's own from eating fireflies? (Even when they don't HAVE to make them eat fireflies) That's too much apparently.
Sarcasm: Since they care about realism so much then why don't they make mobs like wolves attack the player if they get too close or make them attack more then just sheep? Wouldn't be fun for the balance of the game but at least it would be realistic in Mojang's eyes if floating dots killing frogs is too much.
And the real problem is that SOME frogs die from fireflies. NOT ALL! The frogs in Minecraft don't have to be those frogs!
Omg get over it it was two years ago alr
I'm pretty sure this video was made before the more recent snapshots, but another HUGE part of 1.21 that most people don't talk about is the amazing QoL features they've added for data pack developers (if you don't know much about data packs, I'm sure this will just sound like gibberish).
The new component system is much more versatile than nbt data, allowing players to make FULLY CUSTOM TOOLS with different durability, mining speeds, and everything. You can even make _any item_ edible if you wanted (which is great for making custom foods with resource packs and custom model data).
ENCHANTMENTS are now data-driven, meaning you can literally make your own custom enchantments, which I never would have expected in a million years. Its amazing! You could make an enchantment that explodes things when you hit them if you wanted.
Paintings and Wolf Variants are also data-driven, so using a combination of data packs and resource packs, you can actually add your own custom paintings and add more wolf variants for different biomes. Its _insane!_
The problem I have is just that some new features feel half complete or not fully realized. This is coming from a mod-player so ofc I'm going to be greedy so take my statements with a grain of salt. Also by no means am I insulting Mojang. I was only disappointed in 1.20 and really liked 1.19.
1. Archaeology is useless. Right now it's just sweep some sand/gravel and at best get a music disc. The rest of the stuff can probably be obtained quicker if you just don't do archaeology. I feel like some new item(or even some new mechanic) should be added for archaeology to make it viable and interesting. And even then, it doesn't have to be a revolutionary item or even a new item, just better loot. As for the mechanics, it could be as simple as firing and designing your own pottery(as teased).
2. The Deep Dark feels half done. It may be because it will be finished in a later update, due to all the implications and the fact that there can be so much expanded upon, but looking at soul sand valleys or ocean monuments, I can't help but feel like Mojang will just leave the deep dark as a borderline useless or uninteresting deserted biome. Again, some new mechanic or new mob could be added to spice it up and/or complete it. An example could be a tool/block/mechanic that compressing your XP into sculk so you can save your levels if you die. Not overpowered and definitely a QoL change.
3. The Sniffer feels nowhere near complete. I get aesthetic mobs like the panda, I enjoy them. But the sniffer is lazily done. No hatching animation(which is ofc to be expected), no personality and I really think a function should be given to it considering the fact that you need to go out of your way to get it. Maybe it can help with farming, maybe it can dig up more aesthetic plants or even 1 more semi-useful plant. Maybe the sniffer just needs a bit more personality and nothing else. As with the deep dark, there is so much potential to be had with this mob.
I'm kind of wishing that the ominous bottle had more effects but I honestly think that Mojang has worked hard enough for this update and that would be too much to ask. Overall, I just think most of these mechanics are useless/half finished. There is so much that can be expanded upon and even then, I'd be happy with only a few small editions.
What I wonder is if this is just the amount of effort Mojang can put into a NEW feature. People always compare to 1.13-1.16 but all those updates were refreshes of old content. Is 1.19-1.21 worse than the updates before 1.13? I don't think they are.
@@norman6524if anything 1.19 was closer to 1.13/1.14 in scale and not too massive, 1.20 is like 1.11 (exploration update) scale with the item size of 1.16
the point 2 is just the is just the catalist, the block make your experience in blocks, so with a hoe you get all your experience back (as long it doesnt have silk touch)
Archaeology is a mechanic just like fishing, except it was just added instead of having over a decade to get more. 1.20 just introduced the new mechanic, it's primary thing is expanding the exploration of structures and being immersive to the experience. And that had already greatly expanded 4 different structures. And it's purpose will be just like that as it comes to new or old structures. It's a feature that can be expanded at any time.
You also get Sniffer, a bunch of unique pottery sherds and armor trims from it, which is other then the music disk. These are all reasons to do it even if you don't think it's enough at the moment. This feature is also way more involeved then just using the brush on a block.
I have no idea what you're talking about about a lack of personality in Sniffer though, they have tons of personality.
@@plumfadoodle4908 It barely expanded any of the structures, all it did was replace a few of the existing blocks.
"It's a feature that can be expanded at any time." Anything can be expanded, the question is WILL they expand it, which is almost always no.
Sniffers don't do anything useful, "unique" sherds that are also useless and not versatile at all, and armor trims which are pretty bad even for cosmetic standards. The music disc is really good but at the end of the day it doesn't justify the structure. It is literally just slowly digging and holding right click.
Calling 1.16-1.19 a curse is like calling economic stagnation a Great Depression. It came just before the big boom and people are over-estimating how bad it really was. In fact, it added a LOT of stuff.
I do think in hindsight that is what those updates will be seen as in 5 or so years
When plugin developers literacy catch up with the developer over night and are telling you their additions are lazy, then they are probably right. When mods add far more advanced contend in less time, it sets the standard. When a april fools update brings more to the table then all the hype updates, it is simple as that.
@@suprafluidhd7239 April Fools updates aren’t meant to be serious. It’s just a bunch of code put together in a matter of days that works well enough. If developers worked like modders, you could expect hundreds of unaccounted bugs and then the community would strike bout that. The thing is that the community is never content with what it gets and let’s face it: Microsoft probably doesn’t care about Minecraft as much as 4J, as it barely gives any revenue and is only used as a tool to attract people to Xbox.
Here is what I would get excited about:
1) An End update, in the similar fashion to the Nether update.
2) An inventory rework. Either by adding a backpack or maybe just adding new slots in the default inventory. I'm always running out of inventory.
3) A villager update. Not the nerfing kind they're doing. A way to make transporting them easier. Make them less stupid.
4) A LOD update. making the render distance a lot better. There are mods that give you 500 chunks visibility.
5) A performance update. Minecraft runs pretty crappy for a game with this low level graphics.
I would like to have a mini update inbetween the 1.21 and 1.22 like a food overhaul that would be awesome. So that way we can have player effects from eating certain foods. Like higher jumping, faster running, and walking. Say 3 eggs lined up in a crafting table makes scrambled eggs and it gives you faster walking speed.
That is bad ideal. Is you put food and poison and Mix it together maybe you ideal can make more sense
Suspicious Stew: Am I a joke to you?
5:33 according to us law, if you choose to moderate your platform you take responsibility for it. Its either you don't moderate and ban thus take no responsibility, or you moderate and that means if you miss a racist comment that will be embraced by your company legally, you cannot have your cake and eat it too
This is so untrue. Facebook cannot be sued for something someone says on their platform and yet they moderate it. Same applies to mojang. Please show me the exact law you’re referring to.
6:50 Technically, Mojang actually _didn't_ tease it. It was a leaked image (but given the fact that it showed the Pitcher Plant, which was revealed shortly after the leak, its safe to assume that it was real).
My theory for why it was scrapped is that it would have been too complicated trying to make the growth stages work with the way multiple vines can occupy the same block at the same time... Like, imagine having a fully grown vine and placing another in the same tile... They couldn't make each side of it have separate growth, that would be way too complicated and confusing to code in with blockstates... But they couldn't really make it automatically be fully grown either, as that wouldn't make much sense. Personally, I think it could work, but I understand why they scrapped it.
In hindsight what on earth were they thinking doing caves and cliffs together there was no way they would ever have gotten it done without delays, especially when it was announced during peak Covid times. should’ve been caves one year cliffs the next 💀
Why can’t they give us some of the stuff from the April fool’s updates. Pickaxe blocks and placers are amazing for redstone. The Lashing Potato makes movement a lot more fun, and the floatato changes how you build
the game has become bloated over the past few years, I remember a decade ago when there was that ominous, creepy, and eerie emptiness to the game. you were alone in an empty world, and your job was to fill it with your imagination. now theres just too much in the base game such as structures and mobs that makes old minecraft atmosphere non-existent; that void fog was sure somethin. back then, the question was "what can i make?" nowadays the question is "how do i make this?" the amount of tutorials or guides for various different builds and farms is ridiculous IMO for a sandbox game. the amount of different blocks becomes rather overwhelming and stressful to work with doesn't it? remember back then when you just had stone, dirt and wood? the amount of things you could make with just 3 blocks was incredible.
So just play the older versions lol
What bloat? The amount of blocks are fine and better for customization, old Minecraft is limited and boring as hell 😂
5:47 bro really said mild update
My only problem with the villager rebalance is that is doesn’t totally fix the core problem. I agree that mending should be harder to get but this new system just makes it incredibly tedious without actually fixing the bigger issue. People will take villagers and force them to breed in the swamp biome but then in the end you still just have to sit there breaking and placing a lectern over and over. It’s just a more convoluted way to do the same thing. I think they should add a more interesting and player involved way to obtain mending. Maybe they add a feature to the grindstone that lets you take one enchantment off of a piece of gear and put in on a book, players could then fish or loot end cities for gear and get mending that way. Maybe there could be a librarian boss that spawns in woodland mansion libraries that will always drop 1-3 high level enchanted books, including mending. Those are just some ideas I thought of that feel more like really earning the books instead of just exploiting villagers.
No you don’t have to break the lectern over and over. Swamp villagers 100% always have mending at the master level
@@TheGeekFactor_ that is actually encouraging to know! The rebalance still doesn’t really feel like a satisfying solution to me :/
when it comes to chat reporting, I think the biggest downside was that it wasn't added 10 years beforehand when a lot less people cared
Yeah that could be it. It’s really no different than any other online game having it- even some with private servers- but the Minecraft community is weirdly against it…? Doesn’t add up to me.
@@TheGeekFactor_ either way it's here now so people are just going to have to deal with it because it's not going away
Bro did not just post a regular ass video on April fool's 😭
i think 1.20 was not even bad update i liked the trims, new music disk, bamboo wood the book shelfs,camels and also the brush, and 1.21 is cool other them that raid farm nerf but i fine with it cause yeah being immortal really easy was op
For the first time in my 3 years of playing Minecraft I’m pumped for an update, a new weapon that you actually have to work for, trials and a new skeleton variant? I feel like I’m dreaming! All we need now is stronger shields
The only reason i think most people disliked 1.19-1.20 is because it was mainly catch up on caves and cliffs.
1.21 feels like a breath of fresh air for minecraft. Most additions were heavily influenced by the community.
Unironically boss reworks + more bosses would be great for minecraft progression, especially if new bosses had unique loot (which i doubt they wouldn't)
they should make new armor that isn't as good as netherite but it helps alot for protection against the mace because in public server to just be able to 1 shot a full netherite player by falling 4 to 5 blocks in insane. Or perhaps an enchantment for it
Trials and the mace are the two things that give me hope, I want minecraft to have more horizontal progression and unique items and i dont wanna have to download a whole modpack just to get that, so im super happy with mojang now that they're actually adding stuff to their game
I think the thing I want now is just more depth for those features that they're adding, but also new ways to attack, for example the new wind charges can be shot out of the hand and do damage, I think if they did more damage and more charges were added, it could give people who want a magic system some content while not *actually* giving them a magic system that might break minecraft's themes and lore surrounding magic
Minecarts really need an update
In 1.20, I feel like Mojang should've done a little more with the Sniffer. The sniffer should have a kind of rare grass seed type that when placed on dirt, would make a new grass type, and biome. In this biome, Torchflowers and Pitcher Plants would be able to be bonemealed naturally, and the Sniffer could spawn naturally in this biome. The sniffers, in this biome, would be able to then dig up new plants, like a sapling, for a new tree type, a new food seed that can only grow on this grass, and possibly something else.
Minecraft needs some serious competition, there are just no games that do what minecraft does so mojang can do whatever they want to and players have no other option
I think it’s healing also with Servers like HIVE and CUBE banning hackers more Frequently and Minecraft coming out with more of a ( ALIVE ) feeling as I don’t have a 2 week Minecraft phase anymore I play a lot more now sense the 1.20+ am I the only one ?
I feel like it all sort of started with the wave of animations for the updates, they make the update seem so much better and fluid than how the experience actually is. I wish the animations were more simple with a more basic showcase of the update.
Chat Reports, Account Migration, Splitting Caves & Cliffs into 2 updates, The Wild update being super lackluster, Awful mob votes, Scrapping multiple widely beloved concepts for no good reason, and then delaying some of the most poorly thought out additions of Caves & Cliffs for years or even not implementing them at all *(Bundles)* was really a chain of failures that told the community Mojang and Microsoft were completely out of touch and were not on track to improve any time soon.
What even is the point of waiting for a new update when you already have crap ton of mods you can download that are perfectly fitting to the game?
I’m still hoping for more tree/wood variant, specially an azalea wood type
Fireflies will not be added to the game because they are poisonous to frogs, also frog eats a cube of fire magma almost the same frog size..
and it seems to upgrade the Java version. this is fully out of context, but I really hope for another 1.7 Esk modding platform era.
the only thing I'm worried about with a villager trading changing is that i, admittedly, I'm a player that is very bad at minecraft, but I love playing it and I enjoy the fact that mending is so easy to get so I can focus on doing things that are more fun to me, like building without having to worry about dying. yeah, I can do it, but the process of collecting building blocks and knowing I've done everything myself is more fun. but of course I'm only one person, and I know in the last video you propose that the changes only be on harder levels in minecraft, so I think that would be a better change if they do go back on it
I can definitely understand that stance, but to me getting max gear as fast as possible isn't really something that appeals to me in the first place, so I'm very happy sticking with mid armor and tools until I eventually decide to put in the work to get mending. Min maxing sorta takes the fun out of the early/mid game anyway imo
@@zmitter4844 agree to disagree! different play styles and all of that
Love the video!
Minecraft will be better when it has combat parity between Java and Bedrock, and when it gets raytraced shadows and lighting in Vanilla and/or is optimized for current gen consoles.
Wishing for a sky update. A new biome which is really opposite with nether. Rideable birds. Birds perching on trees. New aerial building or what. I dunno. A heaven biome? Aether biome? That will be a new and unique update. 😊
I’d honestly like to see just a rare biome up in the sky. Not a whole new dimension, but a rare biome of floating islands just chilling up high somewhere. Similar in rarity to mushroom biomes. That would be fucking sick.
9:00
I see some Mojang devs have been playing vault hunters.
This update is gonna be dope, I can feel it.
it takes longer to heal the. it takes to harm any community
yes damage that can be quickly dealt is rarely healed as fast. RIP original account killed in the great migration.
@@busterbeast999 and some people will never get their trust back because of their personality
Here's what i think
Mijang needs to stop looking at power and start looking for dynamism for example, there is a trend in cery weapon in Minecraft that being the consecutive weapon would be better in every way ( except gold for some reason 😂 ) with absolutely no downsides making people rush to make decisions that are overall the best very easily. There is a large potential of things to do with the weapons eg.
Iron is a mid armor set but there is nothing else to differentiate it form leather apart form the fact that it's stronger. Now imagine if Mojang made iron armor heavier that leather and thus slows the play down a little. This alone has made you give a second thought to leather armor as an alternative when your going into places where you need to escape quickly.
Not to talk of the fact that copper exists and imagine if we could make alloys which will strick a balance between light and strong. Making you think of the best armor set to use in a particular situation.
Imagine if diamond was not the ideal armor or weapon in a situation but gold is. This kind or variation will make the player soo much more involved in the decisions he makes.
Distant Horizon got me to fall in love with Minecraft, Mojang Updates are decent or bad but... whats really keeping me with Minecraft is the modding community. I will give Mojang props like the Nether Update & Caves & Cliffs even when they got separated I can still understand that bit.
But the constant canceling of features for lets be honest dumb reasons, with the Warden & Deep Dark being completely pointless to adventure cause the loot and fighting the warden is just not worth it. So I can careless about 1.21.0 and it's features when the modding community is just straight up carrying Java.
Even if 1.19 and 1.20 have some controversy surrounding them, they’re still good updates. The Deep Dark is interesting, Allays are niche yet fun, Cherry Forests are beautiful, and Archaeology is a fun side activity.
Caves and Cliffs started an incline in updates in my opinion. Cave Generation, the Deep Dark, and Archaeology all deserved more time in the oven and they have been expanded in amazing ways.
The Deep Dark being delayed enabled Ancient Cities, Swift Sneak, and many of the Warden’s intricate mechanics to exist.
Archaeology is in a weird state right now. I like the pottery, but the system isn’t very rewarding or distributed throughout the world. Good thing is that this is very easy to fix. Same with Sniffers. Nothing has been fundamentally wrong with Mojang’s additions, it has been external factors that fuel most of the controversy with the game.
1.17 to 1.20 focused on player expression, which is far more important than traditional progression and combat for Minecraft. Now we can shift our attention to more traditional progression and catering to players who want constructed content, since 1.17 and 1.20 have provided for creative building type players in extraordinary ways.
Cant wait to see what other ominous events they add in the future, the sound design for the ominous trials is awesome.
I think that's the first video retelling the whole FALL OF MOJANG situation, that mentions the pandemic. The damn thing hit the planet pretty hard.
I want to see improvements to existing systems to remove RNG and cheese. For example enchantment. What the hell, it's soooo annoying to not get the damn feather falling 4 for like 1037037 try. This is not how it's supposed to be. I think enchantment table should have upgradable levels as in something like the Blood altar from the mod. It either requires you to build stuff around the enchantment table to unlock the better enchantments or upgrade the table itself (maybe even both, one for getting better enchatment, one for getting higher level of the enchantment. It should allow you to CHOOSE the enchantment you want. Imagine, you want sharpness 5, you have to unlock top tier enchantment table from resources, you collect from all over the world, like netherite, exho shards and end stuff. And even then, you only unlock the basic Sharpness. You would still need to build a structure of some sorts around the table to get to the desired enchantment level. However, after you did this PROGRESSION, you can freely choose to put this enchantment every single time. No more RNG, no more trying for million times wasting your time. Instead, time was spent exploring the world and collecting necessary ingredients for this.
Just gonna stick to my modded life in the village three
I just want an actual progression system like Terraria something that actually works? Please tell me how a company owned by Microsoft which is a company with unlimited resources and money can't do stuff that indie teams do?
One thing I feel mojang is leaning too much into for a solution is they are making progression harder by just decreasing the pacing of a world. Terraria made it so that if you want to progress faster just git gud. But mojang does stuff like make it so you have to spend 5 hours moving villagers so your armour won't break instead of focusing on making it so the player has to play to unlock this gear.
Did Mojang FINALLY added datapacks ? Or do we have to wait another year ?
I just want them to finally put Vulkan in Java and to have it properly use multi core CPUs. The performance is still absolutely god awful and it really wouldn't be that hard to fix.
these new features look horrible. exactly the sort of bloat we remove from kitchen sink modpacks all the time
So just play the older versions lol
mojang intentionally slak in updates until minecraft is in the brink of death in player base then they will make a major update just to survive recall in ocian update
11:20 i actually disagree a bit with you here since i think it’s not completely bad change but i also think that if they are making it harder to get enchantments from villagers by making them biome exclusive and not removing the anvil limit they should let us have the option to buy max enchantment levels instead of sharpness 4 it should be sharpness 5 and so on because it also doesn’t cost a single emerald now
I think it’s a step in the right direction, for sure. They’re clearly listening to community feedback on it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be an experimental feature
They should update the end
I like a lot of the content for the most part, I just think I’d rather they put most of their focus on fixing bugs and making the bridge between Bedrock and Java less and less jarring
Though the Mob Votes have ruined countless discussions and them not doing the most basic google search before promising fireflies is completely headache-inducing
Can anyone tell all the changes in 1.21 as ive been outta the community for like 6 months
basic rundown:
-wolves have 8 new variants (plus armodillos/wolf armor)
-New underground stucture called the "trial chambers" (pretty common underground, made up of new copper and tuff blocks, has various combat rooms)
-new variant of spawner called "trial spawner" (which will spawn a finite amount of monsters, gives a reward after defeating all mobs)
-an auto-crafing redstone block called the "crafter"
-the "vault" block (basically a locked chest you open with a "trial key", can only be opened once per player, but multiple players can open the same vault)
-a new hostile mob called the breeze (like a wind version of the blaze, will drop "wind charges" which are a projectile you can use to hit enemies/propel yourself in the air)
-a new weapon called the "mace" (a hammer that deals more damage the longer you fall, super cool!)
-rework of bad omen (it is now a potion you drink, plus it now works in trial chambers to create a hard mode called "ominous trials", which can give you better rewards like the mace)
-new armor trims, banner patterns, and pottery sherds
@@bradhp11 thanks a lot mate!
"And Archeology we saw in 1.17 was more involved and more interesting than what we got in 1.20" There is no way you can actually believe this. 1.17 archeology was just four ugly shards that had a convoluted customization process, and the diamond block was a poor choice of placeholder loot but gave us nothing else interesting. 1.20 archeology is a masterpiece of a new system that gave incredible customization through armor trims and infiltrated almost every existing structure in the game with more interesting challenge then "don't move your cursor too much.
1.17 has the player actually burning pottery like real life. I think that’s cool.
btw, at 1:22 you are showing the seeds, and what seed is the post 1.18 one? it looks kinda cool tx
2212023 it’s a great seed. Got a trial chamber and ancient city all fairly close to spawn as well as a village
Love that your criticism also extend to praise minecraft for the changes its been SLOWLY implementing rather than the usual whining I see elsewhere. Good video.

Everything you say here is spoken like someone who's literally never made a villager trading station.
_sometimes it can take upwards of 10 hours._
You EARN that mending book, what's spent is time.
The villagers do not need to be reworked.
I’ve done it many times. I know how long it can take depending on circumstances.
tbh I was really hyped about 1.20, cause that was the first step and change in mind of Mojang regardless of contents of the update. the way how they announced new features, made me extremely excited to see more. if u look at it without any hatred or anger it's really how it feels.
I think they should add more enchantments/ weapons
Or maybe a enchantment rework
Make it so that I can select which enchantment I want and what level but make the resources more expensive for example if I want efficiency 3 on a diamond pick it’ll cost me 4 lapis and 3 levels or something
The could also add new weapons that have unique enchantments or are compatible with other ones like loyalty and channeling I’d love to have a mace that I can throw like thors hammer😂
At this point I’m just playing vintage story
Anyone else having a thought that there should be a boss in the trail chambers
they do have the breeze which is pretty much a mini boss like piglin brutes or blazes
@@TheDeceptiveCooler I'm not really sure if you consider the blaze as a mini boss
@@ZudinGodofWar true, I guess it really isn't
@@TheDeceptiveCooler The breeze, I guess it would depend on how you define the term boss
THE COPPER GOLEM!
I still think that Mojang made the right decision to split Caves and cliffs instead of hand us half-assed garbage. 1.17 was underwhelming but that was coming on the heels of the Nether update. 1.18 was fantastic and was the bulk of the update, a total overhaul of the overworld. 1.19 was great, a very complex and unique structure, sculk (which is a game changer to many) and the Warden. 1.20 is the only underwhelming update imo, and yet Armour Trims have opened a completely new world to plugin and datapack development.
Overall, I'd say Mojang has incurred a bad reputation for overpromising. But the things they ACTUALLY deliver on have never been bad.
"But the things they ACTUALLY deliver on have never been bad." Not true, a lot of the modern minecraft features feel blatantly unfinished and/or underwhelming
@@EmperorPenguin1217 Underwhelming, yes, but thats always in comparison to other features they have made/promises. LIke I said, their problem came from overpromising and not delivering. However, what we did get, isn't at all bad. I mean, what do you think was "blatantly unfinished" in the recent updates?
@@EmperorPenguin1217could you elaborate? I can only think of archeology
@@Killerbee4712 Archaeology's entire system, basically every mob vote winner, the deep dark, the recent biomes,
@@EmperorPenguin1217 Archaeology I can agree on, but its a pretty minor feature overall.
Mob votes were never much anyways. I mean, you voted for an armadillo, and you got an armadillo.
Why the deep dark???? I think its a fantastic addition. All sculk blocks, items, the warden, and Ancient cities are incredibly nuanced, well made and detailed mechanics/things.
It's succeeded in th pc community minecraft ps4 and xbox doesn't have them you can enable them but it's just not the same
Minecraft was something unique, not unique just for the sake of it but unique in a good way. It was a good game.
When I look at it now, see everything that's been added since my departure... It's like, the content was made by kids or for kids. It's like cheap mods... It's just content... Like seeing another movie with a random name and plot on Netflix, something which can't stand out on it's own.
It's like making the 89th movie about Fast & Furious.
It baffles me that there is so much they could do, without even touching the base game, yet it's just uninspired literally sh*tty content. I really can't understand how this happens in most games who support modding in some way. How is it that a bunch of modders always end up with the most obvious fucking idea, make it good and improve the game, having millions of downloads. Meanwhile the studio and actual devs are getting paid for doing jackshit.
I guess they are bored of working on Minecraft but the pay is good... Or they have cool ideas but they need to keep the game available for all kids.
Maybe it's just a kid's game now. We grew up, Minecraft didn't. It didn't evolve much or introduced more sandbox mechanics or building features either.
It could have done so much more... It could have incorporated building more into progression, make progression slower or meaningful. At worst it could have introduced a better survival mode instead of a simple difficulty.
This is literally Microsoft's biggest game and it's just a pile of shit built on top of it's initial state, which was a decade ago. It's like the initial state was FarCry 3 and what was built after that is all FarCry 6. Just meaningless content, made for the sake of adding content, uninspired, cheap, made for kids and people with ADHD and even than the output rate and quality of content is much less than what it's budget and popularity suggests.
I think the last time I seriously dived in was 1.8. After that I quit. And not once any of the news or updates made me come back and play it seriously. I never felt excited. I didn't even beat the game or built huge ass buildings. Didn't spent time much on multiplayer servers other than a very thoughtful and elegant roleplay server which kept the vanilla experience.
I got what I wanted and after more than a decade, they never managed to add something that actually made me come back. But mods, the mods did.
So… what things in particular do you not like about the updates? I see a lot of alluding to in this comment without any real specifics. I’m curious as to what specifically you dislike.
What do you mean by Horizontal and vertical progression
Vertical progression refers to a sort of linear progression. For example, going from A to B to C. Horizontal progression introduces optional progression and optional paths; paths that aren’t necessarily better or required, but are an option.
So instead of going from A to B, think of it as going from A to A1 then to B. There’s an extra step there that isn’t necessary.
Great comment!
@TheGeekFactor_ Ik of Terrarias progression of defeating bosses letting you go somewhere new or obtaining new stuff to craft, a lot like that of the Wither and the star, a few examples of Terraria's bosses and what you get is Eater of Worlds dropping what's called shadow scales, beat that boss and you get them, a meteorite micro biome, and a new npc; The tavernkeep (Dungeon Defender 2 crossover stuff) the meteorite is mostly known for the star cannon, a weapon capable of firing Fallen Stars and the Space gun with the meteor set, the set let's you fire the space gun (along with a selected number of weapons, kind of forgot for its been a bit since I have done a mage run there ;_;), Queen Bee dropping stuff for more minions, and Skeletron, letting you access the dungeon, letting you have the best stuff until you defeat the Wall of Flesh
I have a lot of hours in Terraria...
There's a difference between 1.18 and 19, everyone was fine with it (being the split update decision) and 1.19 (the wild update) was the biggest flaw. They didn't want to tell us anything on the cut features. They couldn't of told us sooner before the literal update. Trails and tales was a great update considering what was shown vs what we got. And this as of now unnamed update. It's nice
1.20 is also considered an objectively good update since a majority of features were unannounced, and the cherry blossom and archeology carried it.
1.20 is trash, cherry blossoms are lazy copypastes and archaeology is useless
Cherry blossoms are goated, they need to add a black wood type
@@trulybarr5341 Maybe black wood could have a unique way of being obtained, like striking a tree with lightning will change it and make it Charwood or something

What beat is playing in the background? I think minecraft needs to be harder to “beat”.

5:30 - Yes. **But** .
Generally speaking there is no disagreement here. Its a private company. They should be allowed to limit what people can do and say within their property. However, this is where the "but" comes in. Not within servers that arent hosted by them and not on your own server either. And most definitely not on your singleplayer world to the point of censoring.
Its not just "a little unpopular" its a downright L take situation that doesnt think about the issues that come from such a restriction on player behavior. Again, you are correct. But that doesnt mean you are right. Cause you fail to look at it from the other side, the general playerbase side.
"If you dont got anything to hide, surely you dont mind if we take a look through your bags?" - No you cannot look through my bags, tell me why you want to. "Well we think you may have done suspicious things" - Cool you got a warrant? "No." - Ok cool buzz off then.
- Yea I dont got anything to hide, that doesnt mean I will let anyone just look through my stuff even if they are police. There is proper procedure for this for a reason. And the same applies to Minecraft. Instead of telling players that they can opt in to having their comments be seen by the feature, they go full 1984 to the point where people were forced to make mods and plugins to prevent the feature from accessing their servers and worlds.
Dude Mojang isn’t the police. They’re not gonna check you for drugs lol they just don’t want people to be racist around kids. If you don’t like that, play a different game. It’s their game, their terms of service that you agree to. Simple as that
@TheGeekFactor_ it's an exaggeration Geek
The point is that Microsoft shouldn't be allowed to monitor people's private or even public sessions that aren't theirs
If you aren't racist you got nothing to fear
Same applies if you are a thief
If you haven't stolen anything, why not open your bag?
It's about invasion of privacy
It's not as simple as "just don't play lol". Cause I **want** to play
It’s not at all the same as the police saying “just open the bag” because you have to be reported from within your community to get banned. So if you type some racist or sexist or creepy shit in chat and someone in your private community reports it, that’s on you for being stupid enough to say it in mojang’s chat and not like on some discord server. Like, if I hosted a platform where children could communicate with each other and adults, I’d have chat reporting too. Roblox does. You can get banned from Roblox on private games if you say bad shit in chat.
The solution is simple; if you want to be a bad person, do it on some other platform. Furthermore, AN ALARMING amount of servers have bad people as their staff team. People who are power hungry and abusive. If the staff of the server is abusing people, who is then to stop them? The owner? What if they’re in on it or don’t care or aren’t active? There needs to be some level of safety there and I think chat reporting is a fine system. Mojang does not have the man power to just have people who monitor your chat all the time.
It’s more like “hey we got a video that shows you’ve been robbing people. We’re gonna go through your bag,” which happens in real life, barring some lawyer involvement lol
I hope diamonds get more uses
Whats the first beat at 0:39

The concern is that people could've been wrongfully banned, as in, BANNED, banned, from multiplayer via the chat report system.
It was apart of the system for a while when they were talking about it.
That's why people freaked out about it. Enough reports would've lead to a literal widespan IP ban.
I think if Mojang was smart this part of the system was probably scrapped very quickly after seeing the response to it.
I think, personally, it has everything to do with a power trip and very little to do with Mojang or even the Minecraft community as a whole.
Microsoft wants more control over the game and community they own. Problem is, they haven't earned it.
They want us to believe in them and their decisions, they'd better get busy making suggestions that make sense for the community.
Otherwise, they can screw off. 😂
It seems to me that the reaction of the community then and now was unnecessarily exaggerated. Of course, the Mojangs fell into the dirt several times, but often conflicts and misunderstandings between them and the fans arose because of stupidity or banal "hate for hate's sake" (like a constant comparison with mods, although hey, half of the studio here are former mod developers). It is definitely important to leave feedback to Mojang, but it is not necessary to grumble and always boycott everything - Mojang can listen to everything calmly and quietly.
As for the game itself, I think the Mojang redemption arc started back at 1.20. I mean, the modified format of Minecraft Live, where they talked only about the ready-made functions of the game; a bunch of things added from the fan's wish list, like cherry forest and camels; the final closure of the gestalt from "Caves and Cliffs" (Bundle were added a long time ago, stop referring to them) - all this says one way or another about the changed approach to game development. Yes, you constantly refer to the Sniffer and Archaeology (which, in my opinion, is implemented better than on the original concept, and has its own clear place in the game), but omits all the other good things added to the game, like the same Armor Trims or Ceramic Pots. In the end, even the community's reaction to the update was generally positive (unless, again, you refer to the Sniffer)
1.21 is rather a continuation of this development strategy, just in a more desirable form. And yes, this update is definitely one of the most successful in recent times. And not only because of its actual content, like Crafter and Breeze, but also because of the "toolkit" it provides. Trial Spawner, Vault, and Bad Omen are all flexible items with which you can literally change the game beyond recognition in the future. Even now, their potential is already visible, and it is only a matter of time before they are implemented in other systems.
Finally, regarding the update of the game's progression, do not expect any significant changes in the near future. After all, Minecraft is primarily a sandbox, not an RPG (unlike Terraria, which is primarily an RPG, and only then a sandbox, and therefore comparing it with Minecraft is not entirely true). Before starting such things, developers still have to finish other things, such as balancing villagers (which has not really progressed anywhere since 1.20.2), enchantments and anvils, and these things require a lot of balancing and discussions with the community. It is unlikely that Mojang wants to repeat 1.9. - it is better to make small additions in different parts of the game than to change everything and get hit on the head by everyone.
I'd say 1.21 is the "redemption" start, not 1.20 because that was really bad
hear me out, end update, for 1.22. Agree, or disagree?
the past 3 years of updates have been a little lackluster. 1.18 was definitely excited but i dislike the complete overhaul of how biomes generate. 1.19 was ok because deep dark but 1.20 was completely awful. armor trims were the only things that even interested most people in the update. 1.21 is definitely leaning more into how i like the game, very combat focused with things to do mid game. now genuinely minecraft just needs better progression, whether that be new tools or complete overhauls to the current tools the progression is very boring
