(Image alt: 3D rendering of one of the new spring variants. It is much shallower and wider than the previous designs, featuring a water pool around 8 blocks in diameter, surrounded by a sulfur and granite ring. It also extends down into the ground with tuff and granite.)

Of course, the one pictured is only one of many variants, you can see a full list here:

I personally think it's a good step in the right direction. It's obviously a response to all the negative player feedback as of late regarding the original spring designs and I feel like it addresses it well.

Is that actually what they released like? I don't play unmodded latest version vanilla minecraft so I'm usually pretty insulated from the garbage they shovel in there, but like wow, that's really shit. Is that what passes the bar for innovation at Microsoft these days?

No, that was the first version in a previous snapshot. Even the new ones in this post are not in a real release, just a preview snapshot. Still a work in progress

They haven't been released yet

I will never understand why people think it makes them look cool to be so full of vitriol about fun updates to a really good game. Is life not more enjoyable if you let yourself enjoy things?

Sorry, I was just confused about the status because the "redesigned in the new snapshot" in the title implied (to me at least) that this was an iteration on a existing release. pwnicholson helpfully corrected my misunderstanding to clarify that the previous "release" was also a snapshot, which makes much more sense.

That said, I am not going to apologise for dunking on the release quality of a shitty billions-of-dollars-corporation that profits off children and families by monetizing a game they didn't build that is only a really good game because it has a really good community that the company in question does essentially nothing to financially support with their monetized profits. Fuck them, they don't need your apologism. Minecraft is doing just fine despite them, not because of them.
