Why Minecraft 1.21 is the Most Important Update

Why is 1.21 so important as an update to Minecraft? Why will it affect every future update made by Mojang?

Update: 1.21 is awesome, glad to see it worked out!

Very sorry that this vid took longer than expected, I hope this was worth the wait!
Also, I think someone can just make a video compilation of me saying the word "controversial" at this point lmao.

weird how axolotls can eat saltwater fish and live in saltwater as freshwater animals, but frogs cant eat slightly poisonus bugs

[cheepydog]

Honestly they could’ve just added fireflies and make the frogs NOT eat them? Ik a 2 pixeled mob isn’t a big deal but it would still be useful to see in the dark and for builders.

[batplaysstuff]

the nether update was 4 years ago? wow time just flies like nothing

[georgeshaw]

Playerbase: “We want Bundles!”

Mojang: “Changes to Villager Trades? Okay!”

[averydieckman]

I still wish there would be an end update. There are very few reasons to go to the end after beating the dragon, and I feel like floating islands above the void have so much potential

[LazerDisk]

Impactful. That’s the keyword. The Nether update was impactful and caves and cliffs was “supposed” to be, although the staggered release really hurt the impact. Mojang could work on even a single feature, and as long as it changes and improves the game in a way that feels impactful, the community would rejoice. The state of the game isn’t as healthy as it once was, after all, so people want to feel like it’s improving.

[emeryduhgamer]

I doubt Minecraft will ever really die, with a devoted fan base and mods getting released and updated every so often I don’t think we will ever see Minecraft die.

[ARandomPanda]

You forgot about the cancelation of the new birch biome

[TheFlyingFire]

Maybe the real 1.21 was the friends we made along the way.

[MorseStone]

I remember when the aquatic update first came out, it was probably one of my favorites to be honest.

Edit: Dang, I didn’t expect to get so many likes! Thanks though.

[mushroom-Lover]

I would say probably adding some wolf variants definitely helped a little bit with the controversy😂

[FumB]

tbh i voted for the sniffer having high expectations bc new ancient flowers sounded very cool and i thought to myself: "hey i could manage to build something nice out of it". well we got only 2 flowers and for that the vote was not expected on my side and i hoped for more flowers with more diversity

"People were having too much fun respawning villagers to get mending, so we made it so you had to drag villagers into a swamp biome to obtain it now. Kaythanksbye"

[matthewfitzgerald]

Oops, they did it again. Copper bulbs were too cool and useful, so they decided to nerf them for no reason in the current snapshot. I hope this comment ages poorly and they bring back its original functionality, but seriously. Mojang has got to stop pulling stuff like this.

[umochi]

the temperature would be instantly put to 0 if we either got a new dimention or an ACTUAL end update.

[ladyalicent]

Honestly? I’d just like to see a complete revamp of older, existing structures! The juxtaposition between the new, stylish structures and old favourites like the stronghold, jungle temple and desert well are painfully easy to see. An update like this would be simple to do and receive overwhelming praise from the community at large!

[lasercraft]

One thing I've noticed is that _every update_ after the Nether Update so far has been trying to pick up the pieces that Caves and Cliffs left behind. 1.17 added the blocks and mobs, 1.18 added the new terrain and caves, 1.19 added the warden and deep dark finally, and 1.20 gave us archaeology, and 1.21 is expanding on Copper and Tuff to give them more uses. Covid really screwed everyone over hard, and they're still slowly trying to recover from it.

[ChanceDrive]

I feel if they introduced the copper golem in this update the community would be on board, it's the perfect update for a copper golem

[jomama]

A big problem is that mojang has just started to feel really lazy, like back then a mob vote was a fun way to get the community to chose a little fun mob to get added in addition to the many updates coming, but now a mob from a mob vote makes up 1/3 to 1/2 of a years content.
