The Problem With 1.16 -- [Nether Update]

1.16 is often considered the best update of all time, but it might just be Mojangs biggest mistake...

Thanks for watching :)

0:44 but the Update aquatic and the village and pillage are both considered massive

another thing about the nether update is scale, an update to an empty dimension is going to be way bigger than adding things to the pretty much complete overworld, (another another thing is 1.17 1.18 and 1.19 came out about 6 months after the other, and 1.15 was only about 6 months after 1.14 itself)

How other people see 1.15: bees

What l see: BUG GENOCIDE

a lot of people often forgot that 1.16 was rushed and the team at Mojang was overworked, so don't be expecting any large scale updates that is on par with the nether update, nor am I expecting future updates to be as large as 1.16, unless you want a large scaled end update to be released in 2025 or 2026, plus 1.16 released in the middle of the pandemic, it was released in 2020, so there's that, even though no one never expected the pandemic to be as big as it is.

I'm gonna say this now, but PLEASE people, keep you expectations low for 1.22, it may not be an end update or a new dimension either (uh... why are people asking for it now when even when the Overworld doesn't even feel that it's complete or that we didn't even have the end updated yet?? but seriously, people need to understand that developing and making video games is a LITERAL JOB, and all jobs are hard, even something as simple as video game development, lots of jobs, including video game development, on a professional scale, at least requires you to have a college degree in tech related fields like computer science, WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE ALL JOBS ARE NOT EQUAL AND PEOPLE ARE LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES.. sorry for the caps, I just want people to understand that most jobs, including adding a mob, is hard as hell, especially in this society...)

I really don't care about how big or small an update is. What I care about is that the community has been begging for an end update for nearly 10 years (since it got a (sorta minor) update in 1.9) and Mojang has yet to even acknowledge our begging. The end update could be the last update Minecraft ever receives and I betcha most of the community would be happy.

Edit: and not just the end update specifically. It seems like Mojang ignores most of the feedback for major features in the game and only listens to feedback for minor features (i.e. the piston sound)

I'm alright with the Nether Update, but I don't like how they're trying to make it more livable when the Nether is meant for a temporary expedition. The Forest biomes kind of ruin the aesthetic of the Nether's hell-like appearance.

nice bro instant 1k also i just subbed to u

i think the issue is they havent been able to beat the nether update and caves and cliffs really the only way to top them is to light up the portal in the ancient city and add a new dimension or a end update

The Nether update made the Nether a lot easier. Minecraft has been getting easier day by day since the bed got added in the Wolves Update in minecraft Beta. Back in the day, Ghasts were the most annoying mobs because their fireballs were hard to hit back and bows didn't reach up to the ghasts. If anyone would ask me what the greatest update was in all of minecraft, i'd probably say Infdev. Infdev came after Indev and was the first row of updates having an infinite world generation. The best game version is Beta 1.7.3 😉.

This video literally hammers home my point on the nether update!

While yes, nether is an awesome update, but it was too good to the point where everyone compared every update to the nether update, and hate it for not being on the same level of content that nether brought.

I agree. Mojang made a mistake and the community was like hot boiling water. I think it is calm now tho. So calm that people don't even critisize the summer drop. THEY ADDED A FEW THINGS AND THATS

[JanoSpaces]

nice job! you pointed out a lot of necessary stuff in this video and i agree with pretty much everything.

the main thing for me is that 1.21 would have been MUCH better recieved by community if it took 1.16's place. people are constantly saying "you made much bigger and better updates during a pandemic" but a lot of us know that mindset is unrealistic and greedy. the developers have also stated 1.16 was SUPER stressful for them to make as well.

dont ever talk again if i want to play anything past 1.8.9 i choose 1.16.4 ❤ this version in my heart forever

All the mistakes Mojang did imo:

1.9 Update: It was so contreversial and split the community into a billion parts.

The time between 1.9 and 1.13.: They didn't add anything good to the game for such a long time right after the most contreversial update. It makes a lot of sense for the game to almost die because of that.

Mob vote: This splitted the community in like 3-4 parts every time it happened and it made everyone even more TOXIC

1.16: It was the best update of all time which created so much hype and they couldn't handle it which caused even MORE TOXICNESS

1.19: WHATTA WAS 1.19?

Reporting System: WHATTA ACTUAL HECK!!!

Adding Useless stuff: The updates after what I call the the TOXIC HYPE period did have enough features but the features were useless. (excluing 1.19.)

I don't need to explain this right? Passing to the drop system was a good move but they leaked everything.

So less features: After the actually great drops with usefull and more features that got leaked, they made 1 good drop (Spring to Life) without anything bad in it and then now we have the summer drop which has like, NO FEATURES!!! But I hope they just didn't show us many things and going to have some actual features when they release the drop.

So I think 1.9 was the update that started the chain of mistakes Mojang did.

The Nether update added 4 biomes, Netherite, and like 3 or 4 Mobs. It wasn’t even that big, 2 of the biomes are copy paste. They should be able to make an update of that size every year, just scrap the team behind legends and dungeons and put them on the main game
