Why Everyone Is Wrong About Minecraft 1.20

Minecraft 1.20 was recently announced during Minecraft live 2022 and it left some players underwhelmed. Contrary to what most people are saying, I think Minecraft 1.20 is one of the best developments we've seen for the game in a long time.

What do you think about this update? Let me know in the comments.

I agree with this video a ton. Mojang is doing a lot of things right, while the community mainly focuses on all the things they're doing wrong.

I donwloaded your dungeon mod a few days ago and I put it in all my worlds now. I haven't actually come across one (aside from creative testing to see if it works properly), but just knowing an incredible dungeon could be around any corner makes the experience that much more exciting to me. I hope you will continue to update it if it becomes incompatible with newer versions of MineCraft, because I cannot imagine going back to boring old mob spawner cubes.

Tbh i like the fact that they learned from their last live updates and the fact that they are focusing on community and tbh the camel just earned my heart especially that i am an Egyptian and i saw alot of camels before but never rode one before so this is so exciting

Oh, and about the video: I agree with you 100%. The last few updates have been wonderful (We finally have MUD!!). "No expectations so no disappointment" is precisely why I do not watch "coming update" videos about any game I care about. I get the bad taste failed promises leave in community's mouths, but I would rather quality content that works right over them cramming half-finished or broken content into the game because they bit off more than they could chew or went in a different direction. Hanging signs will be enough for me to love the new update, and it's already playable, so I am looking forward to the next update. Plus, Bamboo was long overdue for some love. I hope they add rice so we can make rice paper walls soon!

2:21 ninja kiwi and supercell. These have many games yet still listen to feedback and criticism in the best way for them, the community, and the game

Your content is really well edited and put together, not to mention the idea of combining coding with survival, two things we only see separately within the Youtube's Minecraft community, is wonderfully entertaining. Soon enough you won't be saying "I work full time as a Java developer" cuz you'll be paying your bills as a Youtuber!

Dude, when I saw your videos and then saw that you only have 15K subscribers, that was really surprising. You are so underrated

[Trojan]

Because you challenged to name a game franchise with more community focused developement: Relogic has payed so much more attention to community suggestions than Mojang has. Just look at everything Redigit did for 1.4.4.

Idk I still find the newer updates rather underwhelming. The official stuff we get is often so shallow. Chat report really made me feel betrayed too.

I'm not sure if this happens to the Mojang employees working on Minecraft updates, but there are times where I struggle to stay motivated to make the stuff I want to make for Minecraft now a days. I have came up with so many ideas over the years, and I still haven't put any of my Minecraft mods out there. They aren't even in a stage to be beta tested, heck they aren't even in mod form yet. The closest I got to completing them were making textures, and that's it. But after 2020 hit everyone around the world hard, I became a lot more depressed and struggle to even get out of bed, or take care of chores. So if I struggle with it, I could imagine millions of other people now a days struggle with depression and staying motivated, including Mojang employees.

Is there a full version of your outro song?

[michaelo]

great video! i see so much mojang hate around these days, mojang this, mojang that, mods do this, lazy devs. all these people just take things at face value and don't think about it more than that. and yeah as you said, people don't realise how good we have it compared to other games. just today i was reading through a load of conversations with a minecraft dev on the minecraft commands discord about some of the new changes, it's hard to imagine that happening with most other games. anyway i'll probably be sharing this around in the future, you explained everything nicely! also cool dungeon btw, i've been meaning to get into the world gen side of datapacks for a while

I like the idea of losing the themes for every update. The End is barren and the loot in the deep dark is mediocre. However i dont think they need a complete rework like we got with the nether. The end needs a new mob or biom. The Deep dark needs better loot.

The part i disagree with you on is the quality of the minecraft updates. I don't mind that they over-promised things that didn't release. I have a problem with the low quality of the updates we DO get. The deep dark is a cool place, but there's no REASON to go there. There's no Elytra level item to justify traversing such a dangerous location. The content itself is just bad and unfinished. Thats just one example out of hundreds where Mojang adds things to the game that are borderline useless. Goats, camels, frogs, Axolotls, bats, llamas, COPPER, sniffers. They're all practically worthless if you compare them to mods and items from earlier updates. Chickens, sheep, and cows are leagues better than goats, camels, and frogs. The End has Elytra/Shulker boxes/a boss/mending gear. The deep dark has diamond pants. I want Mojang to stop releasing useless/filler content.

Challenge accepted, terraria. Minecraft has more sales, but terraria has the better devs who have been listening to their community from day one. It ain’t no coincidence that a devteam of 12 people made the 11th best sold game in the world (as of I’m writing this).

You fixed problems with the underdeveloped dungeons and added bosses WITH ANIMATIONS AND PARTICLE EFFECTS in less than a month. Not to mention you got these to auto generate in existing terrain in random configurations. They must have serious issues with leadership if you upstaged them so completely with way less time, resources and manpower. The fact that an entire development team hadn't managed to get around to fixing those things when it took ONE PERSON days to complete says that they have a development issue. My money is on antiquated tools and leadership not focusing on a combination of the most fixable and pressing issues.

[sudaygupta]

That's exactly what I wanted to say but can't bcz i am stupid

[christianl]

the only community focused thing that isnt that nice is the mob votes because any mob that will be choosen there will be 2/3 of the community who wont be satisfied

[derjona]

And then they went on to add two more features and call it done… in february. The next new feature were going to get in a snapshot is probably going to be in late october

This is why you are the best Minecraft YT
