I guess just...meh?
They just keep adding biomes for the sake of adding biomes. Like the only innovation they have left is just making the world feel more and more random. Yay, one more thing to have to generate a new world to find, because you already explored too far around the one you made already.
Nothing they do these days feels like it has much of a point to it, you know? When was the last time they added any new systems or gameplay paradigms? What about, like, adding an economy, maybe? A magic system? Gear that actually does something? How about more weather variety beyond "global precipitation" and "early bed time"? Seasons? Environmental effects for survival mode like heat and cold? Will there ever be another dimension? I'll even just take stairs and slabs for terracotta and concrete at this point.
Will Java ever actually get that fancy "Vibrant Visuals" update they promised, or are they just going to shove that in a dark corner and hope everyone forgets about it like the ray tracing update they once promised?
Absolutely same. There's so much basic shit that I can't love without on modded like idk the ability to sort your inventory with a push of button or double click to send all same items into another inventory.
More and more they add things that seem like they will get more people to buy from them. Or something that will help the Minecraft marketplace. Not the actual people.
Hence the "mini games" of the sulfur cube. Completely stupid nobody is using it like they wanted but it feels like that there trying to make it have more profit with there bugrock marketplace.
This is just vibes and feels about the recent updates. Have yet to see any update that actually does much of updating antiquated non accessible things.
Sulfur cubes have triggered one of the biggest renaissances in technical Minecraft, and the update isn't even out yet. How can you seriously say nobody is using them as intended?
I haven't seriously played Minecraft since the first part of caves and cliffs, and it really feels like they're just adding shit in.
They add new gameplay systems and fundamental mechanics all the time, including entirely new weapon types, a new tier of tools, weapons and armour kn the form of Netherite, the ability to leash entities together which changed technical Minecraft entirely, a new type of 'wireless redstone' triggered by sound events in the form of Skulk Sensors, and entities that can interact with redstone literally last week.
They're also moving the entire game to Vulkan right now, and datapacks are basically a vanilla modding API now. The game's changing rapidly.
I don't get why people want Mojang to fundamentally change the game into something it is not, or turning it into some kind of RPG, breaking backwards compatibility and risking upsetting large sections of the community. The game is perfectly fine as it is and I am happy about the exact kinds of updates they've been making to it.
I feel like a lot of the criticisms against the game updates come from people parroting common YouTuber's claims or folks who basically gave up playing ten years ago in their childhood and now mourn their childhood wonder, not people who actually experienced the updates or who play the game regularly. "Why not add seasons or something" can only really come from an armchair fan who hasn't played the game in a decade, since it ignores entirely how that would fundamentally change every mechanic most builds depend upon, including observer-based machines, anything working with leaf decay, natural builds integrated into the environment, art pieces. Such an update would absolutely skewer the active community.
I've been an active player for a while now. I don't really appreciate the stance you're taking of immediately framing me as some sort of outsider who hasn't played in years come to disrupt the "community" with radical ideas. My opinions as a player are just as valid as yours, thanks.
I don't know why people are opposed to giving more options for the game to be more like a game. The only thing that we've gotten in recent updates are Mom buying us a new pack of Legos to stick with the other Legos we already have. I've done everything else to death in Minecraft at this point. There's nothing new to do, short of starting over and doing it all again.
