  1. I'd like for the frozen zombie variant to have a unique name like the Stray. Just calling it frozen or variant makes it feel unfinished. Personally I'm going to refer to them as Pack's. They've been packed in the ice and now they pack a frozen punch!

  2. Not impressed. This all sounds gimmicky at best. Maybe go improve on vehicles next time, the minecart and rails altogether feel horribly dated.

  3. Nice. I would like to see an end update though. Maby end caves or a new end structure to just make it a little livelier while staying dream wastelands. Or a secret endgame way to farm diamonds because mining diamonds late game can be boring.

  4. I dont understand why they bother with adding a new dimension. I mean yes it is a cool concept and im sure it will end up doing well for the game, but I mean the community has wanted an end update for so long and im sure they are aware of it. I just dont understand why they would dedicate so much resources into an entirely now dimension when they can just give the community what we have wanted and focus on updating an existing dimension.
