    The second one, even though i believe tht they do a good job… idk why people really be hating these recent mob updates

  2. Second.

    I don’t wanna seem like a Mojang glazer, but Minecraft has a ton of content just from vanilla experience and that’s something we know, there’s some stuff I don’t like but if Minecraft is still the game I play every weekend I won’t complain.

    The recent updates may not be epic like older times but they enhance the game experience so its pretty good for such an old game

  4. personally i prefer the big updates so i can actually keep track of what’s being added.

    i actually have no idea what changed between 1.21.5 and 1.21.11 because of that

  5. The only thing I can recognize them is the change in java to go from OpenGL to Vulkan, I think that that effort is something really difficult that nobodies is recognizing

  6. I remember playing on Xbox 360 and sometimes we would get those huge updates that would benefit your single player world that you had to wait an hour to download, or sometimes it was something small and random such as polar bears. It wasn’t much, but you could have fun for a few hours with the random new feature added to the game.

  7. As a very casual player I wouldn’t mind if there were no significant updates at all. I’m barely getting used to having copper items 😂

    Also, I don’t feel like, getting tons of new items and blocks improves my gaming experience.

  8. Both sides are valid, but there’s still a ton more mojang could be doing to improve the game that they aren’t. The newest drop is an example of the opposite, they’re finally taking steps to optimize Java edition while distracting us with cute baby mobs.

    Middle.

    While I am appreciative of the consistent updates over the years, with a company as big as mojang, it does feel odd to me updates are so small.

    I like what we get, but more is always appreciated

  10. Part of me is 2.

    The other part is the “I don’t want more content, let me go back to a time where you had to put two minecarts next to each other to push them forward”

    why do they add random stuff? it’s like they want to please casual players and more serious players at the same time, and manage to do none. Sniffer? copper armor? where is the new dimension? Where are vertical slabs or mixed slabs? What I loved: trial chambers, mace, elytra.

  12. Nah it’s embarrassing. Minecraft is not some old 15 year old game…. It is THE most successful and profitable video game of all time. Mojang is not an indie studio, they have effectively infinite money and resources, and yet the game has hardly evolved or changed from when I played it as a kid

  13. My problem with the smaller updates is that nothing feels cohesive. Instead of large overhauls we get one mob that’s kinda cool but feels like it has no relevance to other features. Also it makes modding more annoying

  14. First one because second one misunderstands the reason why mojang keeps making ‘free updates for a 15 year old game’. How else are they making money right now? Merch? Other games? Something tells me their main money-maker is Minecraft itself, so it’d be pretty stupid to not update it and leave it to obscurity.

    They are not making ‘free updates’ for the love of the game, they’re doing it because that has always been the update model (that many games utilize now mind) and updating the game keeps it relevant and thus sellable.

    So I’m entitled to criticise the updates when they’re poor or lackluster, which the majority have been since Microsoft took over (besides 1.13-1.18). Each update brings something nice, but as a whole the updates usually miss the mark. Plus I have no joy for a company that tries to censor or block my usage of a game I purchased a decade ago (the government may have pulled the trigger, but that gun has been loaded since 1.16).
