    What is your problem dude, they are adding a new biome, entire block set, and a new mob, as well as this, they are currently working on a theme park, a new game, and the IRL experience, I don’t understand why you are complaining! if you want a big update, go play terraria, they just realased an update 4 years in the making!

  2. bro if they ever make the end update it’s gonna be lit!!
    but ive heard they are thinking about making the 4th dimension (the one the warden is from or something like that). i wouldn’t mind if they do that kinda thing, that would be dope af!

    We’re talking about a game so old that kids born *after* it’s release are learning to drive rn. Any updates are nothing short of a miracle, especially with how restrictive Microsoft is. I’m not saying you can’t complain, but I am saying get some perspective.

    Anyone else feel these updates are just shallow? For such a huge game these updates feel like complete nothingburgers

  5. 3 update that came out in their own year. 1/4 of a drop from one year. Not a fair comparison.

    A fair comparison would be to have all 4 of last year’s drops to a major update.

  6. I get this is a meme. However, this is a common sentiment which needs to stop, quite honestly. I know this will get downvoted or removed but I need to say it.

    Firstly, this game is about 15 years old and getting regular content updates. Feel lucky that we get this for FREE. Most games make us pay for each drop of content. (Bedrock Marketplace excluded ofc.)

    Secondly, Mojang told us why. Larger updates are just hard to make. Making smaller more regular updates gives them the ability to do more and more varied stuff. They mentioned in a recent article that Caves & Cliffs was a technical nightmare to implement because of the way the game has been built over time and the community suggestions they implemented.

    Lastly, they are doing a LOT of behind the scenes technical improvement. They are in the process of re-writing their rendering engine to move away from OpenGL and towards Vulkan. With no experience in the field, this may sound trivial – but it really really isn’t. Its very hard to get right. It’s like going from driving a car to a lorry. Similar in theory but very different in reality.

    Also, being reductionist about the next drop is just disingenuous and bad faith. Its clear that most of the community want more from the game, however we need to be patient. Aside from the new mob we are getting 2 new block types with complete sets (blocks, stairs, walls etc). And that is just the stuff we know about. There may be more they haven’t told us about yet.

    A message to the community at large: we need to be mindful Mojang isn’t a single entity which we throw comments at. Its a group of people, like you or me, who put a lot of effort and passion into the game we all love. Reductionist comments like this are just harmful to the game at large. Be grateful and excited about the stuff we get. Constructive criticism is good. This isn’t that.

    I get that this comment is probably unwelcome here. If you’ve read this far please consider the paragraph above and how comments don’t just affect a company, but people.

    dude i’m just gonna tell you

    learn to be fucking happy with what you have for once

    also it’s literally a small drop. not a major update. this is like comparing caves and cliffs to tiny takeover and saying “mOjAnG iS gEtTiNg LaZy!1!1!!!!!1!!”

    I mean, i can get why people can get frustrated with Mojang doing anything but an end update. I mean, i would love an end update, dont get me wrong. But I think they are trying to add more like inclusivity into the game. Because ive seen that people wanted a hot cave biome and we get the sulfur, maybe we will get a cold cave biome as well. I dont know, but we gotta give em some slack and some grace. I can bet its hard and frustrating when they work hard on a drop but the community hates it. It must really suck for them. Once they release a update people want they hate it, but when they dont release an update they hate it as well. They’re pretty much damned if they do and damned if they dont.

  10. yea let’s go back to when the devs were actively killing themselves to finish updates, to the point where they had to make a video with Agnes borderline crying apologizing for having to delay Caves and cliffs. like play another game atp if you’re bored of minecraft

  11. >update announced

    >Y’all bitch, it’s the end of Minecraft.

    >Update comes out

    >Nobody cares,game keeps getting played

    Onward flows the river of r/minecraftmemes

  12. They are being traumatized by the enormity of “caves and cliffs” update. Thats what I understand from what Ive heard (I just watch Xisumavoid’s video for this okay)

  13. Love the absolute spilt

    “Wow this update is so bleh and nothing, give us the big updates bleh”

    “Be happy you get it in the first place, bleh sandbox bleh let people have fun bleh”

    I’m not super happy with the update, think it’s nice to have new blocks and whatnot. Slime is useless as I don’t play with balls or do redstone. Mid af to me, would rather have a bigger update with all these little things combined but

    I’m moreso just sitting here waiting for anything about the glaring issues with the game…

    End Update, Combat adjustments since everyone seems to hate 1.9 or smth. Something about mobility and progression. Optimization or whatever other things people complain about…I want a black wood to pair with pale oak

    Also Bedrock being smoldering black tar at the bottom of Earth’s crust…that on console, I am forced to suffer. Wish it was less…bad

    You’ll never win on either side so I’m gonna have fun watching the bickering with some strays thrown myself

    Be angry and upset at me or the updates. Not gonna make em any more or less mediocre. In my imo

    the players who play a lot get something new so often, people who play after a while also get something new every time they play, win win situation. additionally you could also just play older version until you want to move on, switch versions anytime you wanna go back.

    Honestly im kind of psyched. I’ve been looking to find ways to create stadiums and different kinds of games after coming up with fishing pole jousting with my buddy.
