My Hot Takes on Minecraft!

I have been playing minecraft for well over a decade now, and over the course of the games history I have developed a lot of controversial opinions on several of the games features. So today I thought I would concentrate some of my minecraft hot takes from a few of my other minecraft tier lists into one video! And of course, I’ll also take a look to see what some of your hot takes were!

Hot take: the community gets the End Update wrong. Instead of turning the End into lush and exotic environment like the Nether, it should expand upon the idea of being entirely desolate. Ruins, graveyards. Etc. No forests, barely any life.

Speaking of the movie: I feel like Steve should have been a silent protagonist. Having the main characters learn about the world through Steve’s behavior would be very reminiscent of how players first learned to play Minecraft

Hot take: The brewing stand needs a green book like the crafting table and furnace

Second hot take: Fireworks need a block to make crafting easier like how banners have the loom and maps have the cartography table

1:00 the new model was not done solely to align it with the allay, it was also done because the vex was one of the few mobs with pixel sizes that were inconsistent with the rest of the game.

Dropping items on death isn't really my issue with it, it's that the most punishing damage sources that can lead to death with one mistake, the void and lava, are pretty much assured to destroy everything except for netherite in lava. The time limit on collecting your items also really hurts this mechanic as it turns the challenge of slowly progressing towards your stuff with basic gear into massive frustration when you finally get there and it's all gone.

I absolutely agree with your 1.9 combat take. I play servers sometimes and it's absolutely stupid that people are willing to abandon what is now half of the game's content just so they can mindlessly spam left click.

Hot take: We need more complex food in the game, like the process of making a cake is so awesome cause most players don't even bother to ever gather the materials, adding a few other foods like Pizza would be expanding on this type of making food in the game and I really think there's potential if done right

Cold take: Mojang should add Batman to Minecraft

[coboby]

The real problem with dropping items on death is that they explode all over the place and will eventually despawn. Even if they don't fall into lava it can be annoying tracking down everything from your inventory. If they just replaced it with a system more like Dark Souls or Hollow Knight where you still drop your resources but they all stay together and don't despawn unless you die a second time I think fewer people would complain about it. Maybe you could drop a gravestone or something on dying and right clicking your own gravestone would return your items directly into your inventory.

I'm pretty sure they're trying to make the pixels on everything the same size, which is one reason the vex was redesigned, aside from looking like the Allay

Hot take: Minecraft should add Tigers and Lions to Minecraft in Savanna biomes, Jungle biomes and other rare tropical biomes, they will be neutral towards the player but hostile towards creepers, explaining creepers’ fear of cats in Minecraft

For the last take, there is a mod called keep some inventory which basically makes you keep your armor and tools so you can be geared up when trying to get your loot back

Dunno if this is a Hot Take or not, but I really feel like Mojang should stop adding passive mobs that drop nothing upon death. While I do like the mobs, and how they have a bit more to them than just killing them for resources, I feel like it’s a little tedious to have to keep certain mobs around because you need to brush them for an item or just wait for them to do their own thing for an item, or something like that. It doesn’t have to be every single passive mob, but when’s the last time they added a passive mob that we could kill for something useful?

11:22 - "I'll never play with keep inventory on"
2:51 - *keep inventory is on*

[blicxyuwu]

I think a good way to make dying not as punishing is to save items that were in yout inventory when you last slept, similar to Subnautica when you enter a base. That way you don't lose all your equipment but you also still lose the stuff you sought after when exploring :3

[KiwiBomber]

Here’s my hot take, the new updates aren’t making Minecraft worse. They are keeping Minecraft fresh, fun, and new.

[BlueMarioGaming]

my hot take is that they should add bananas to minecraft

[ZombieChicken]

Tbh the Vex looking like a corrupted evil Allay is definitely better than a weird miniature humanoid that's always crouching; plus there's also the inconsistent pixel size the old model had

[marxiplier]

I get where you’re coming from with the Vex. It’s current face is a bit more boring when compared to its old grin.
However your point on different mobs using the player model I have to disagree with. Mobs like Zombies, Illagers, and Piglins use the same body as the player due to them all being humanoids, that are the same size.
The Vex’s old model makes it look lazily designed. With the new body not only making it more unique from other mobs, but also making them pixel consistent with the rest of the game.

[lenijohnson]

dunno how hot this is but i really dislike how mojang is treating the piglins as sort of the 'main villains' of minecraft (might not be entirely accurate but between legends and the movie it sure seems that way) because they're just chill guys who probably have good intentions but are just primitive and shaped by their hostile environment, which makes em scared and skeptical of outsiders. but in legends and the movie (hopefully not the movie but the trailer sure implies it) they're just reduced to nothing but a hostile war hungry tribal race, and i find that a lot less interesting. like if they were actually evil i don't think they would even be willing to barter or chill with you when you're wearing gold, they'd all just act like the brutes (the brutes aren't evil either they're just doing their jobs n protecting the bastions) really hope i'm just reading into it too much and it was just a one off thing for a one off game and movie
