Well there is one thing. I don't like that the command and orbs are called "xp" for enchanting power. I don't like "experience" as a name for a resource. I try to get everyone to refer to it as "enchanting power" or "enchanting levels" instead, but the data names are hard coded.

Minecraft Dungeons II actually has a jumping mechanic, which will be used to counter certain attacks as briefly shown in the trailer. I think this could dramatically improve boss fights, perhaps along with navigation and regular combat as well?

‼️ We have a release date! ‼️ Mark your calendars and get ready to explore the Deep North as Valheim 1.0 will arrive on 9 September! valheim.com/news/valheim...

Hot take about Minecraft Dungeons II, but I'm fine with it if it's just a better and more interesting version of the original. I honestly think the first game is the epitome of a game that is very good but simplistic, and can be expanded upon in a new game using a similar but more complex formula.

Some of these "4th dimension" Minecraft mobs accidentally leaked by Nintendo somewhat resemble the great hunger. And since they could NEVER EVER add the losing 2017 mobs into the game, this means that Minecraft Dungeon's fourth dimension won't be added to Minecraft because it's Mob C themed..

Ok hear me out: 2025: Spring/Warm-themed drop in Spring 2026: Fall-themed drop in Fall 2027: Winter-themed drop in Winter? #Minecraft

So people are complaining that the new Minecraft biomes don't have enough extrinsic motivation to explore them, but not Hytale biomes (within zones)? I've barely had to explore different biomes for every essential resource in that game. At this rate, Minecraft will become an RPG sooner than Hytale.

Minecraft players when Mojang doesn't add extrinsic motivation to a generated feature: "Add different rewards... to different places! 😠" Minecraft players when Mojang needs to rebalance the game to make different places actually rewarding: "Remove different rewards... from different places! 😠"

If Minecraft has an "exploration issue", it's not that most surface biomes just serve as scenery and a source of blocks. There are plenty of structures everywhere to get those legs moving. Extrinsic motivation isn't needed for specific biomes, they're just meant to spice up the journey visually.

The newest Minecraft game drop has been revealed! For the fall drop, we got a fall biome! The Dappled Forest! Shelf mushrooms are making a return as well as the addition of wool stairs and slabs which can be seen used in the new Abandoned Camp structure! Also, Minecraft Dungeons teasers! #Minecraft

Yeah, this update is already a banger. Wool slabs and stairs are really funny. They're the most out-there of the three colored blocks (concrete, terracotta, and wool) to receive variants, yet they got them first. If we don't see concrete and terracotta variants too, I'll be pretty sad.

Have enough people forgotten about Hytale that Minecraft adds a Fall themed biome, and it's just called bad rather than getting a ridiculous accusation that they copied from Hytale? Though to me, it doesn't really matter that much as long as Hytale greatly expands their gameplay systems eventually.

Okay, so Mojang doesn't seem to consider limited anvil repairs an issue, but does it have to be the current "too expensive" limit? Does repairing your iron armor have to take far more in-game time than making it? What's the point of it limiting enchantments if you can still maximize your gear?

I don't understand anyone implying that a new dimension would be Mojang's excuse to overhaul Minecraft's "main" progression path, beating the Ender dragon. The way I see it, they're either interested in touching it or they're not. I don't think involving a dimension would mitigate any controversy.

“Everyone is using ai, so you better get on board.” So you agree. Not everyone is using AI.

So I post less frequently, but when I do post, THEN my point about updates lasting more than a year being essential for Minecraft's most needed updates takes off? I've been shouting into the void about this for years.

An End update would be even more difficult than 1.16 not just because the End has even less features than the pre-1.16 Nether, but because Mojang already crunched to deliver 1.16. If they're willing to designate more than a year to a Minecraft drop/update, I'm sure it could happen eventually.

My latest video is out NOW! Let's take a close look at one of Minecraft's most ancient structures. The Trail Ruins! Who created them? Why do I have beef with the Minecraft articles? And how do they fit in the world of Minecraft? Come support me! #Minecraft #MinecraftYoutube youtu.be/Sqj-IgL5gm8?...

Happy 6th birthday to Minecraft Dungeons! This game has a special place in my heart. I remember how restless I was, waiting for its release. I'm so excited for the sequel! We went to the End. Maybe this time we'll look to the Beginning? #Minecraft #MinecraftDungeons

Minecraft desert wells are better thought of as a structure, albiet a small one. Trail ruins are better thought of as a decoration, like those massive iron and tuff veins. But despite being more pleasantly thought of that way, neither are technically the case.

Any annoying occurance when discussing Hytale's systems: "They should introduce / expand upon X system." "But that already exists." *Points to something extremely niche, or even parallel to the actual gameplay*

Can you believe it guys? Minecraft Live! Just a week away! Minecraft Live is in a week! Woohoo! I am so happy about this information!! Minecraft Live. Just a week away! Oh, wow! Can you believe it? Minecraft Live! Just in a week! It got here so fast! Minecraft Live-

While I've found it difficult to guess what Hytale is going for, the game has a lot of structures and enemies, which is how you get resources. So I'd guess that combat is pretty important! And IMO, there more to criticize than what meets the eye. What are your criticisms of Hytale's combat system?

Is there any game other than Minecraft that is considered a simple game, and yet some of its most fundamental qualities are apparently incomprehensible to many people. Here are four of these "counterintuitive" aspects, all of which I completely love about the game:

I remember a few years ago when changes to the early game like bundles or saddle crafting were overlooked over late game changes. "Yes, but how does this change affect my world with 5 spare sets of god gear?" But I don't see that happening often anymore. I wonder what's changed.

If the 4th dimension is the same situation as pillagers, piglins, and other MC spinoff features, it won't just prove that the End could be overhauled in an update. Imagine what they could do with the enchanting system, arguably Minecraft survival's main gameplay loop, with that amount of resources.

In any new Minecraft dimension utilizing verticality, I hope the biomes take advantage of it too. For example, the deep dark is underground to make the warden encounter more cramped. Water/lava springs adapt to the terrain. Heck, even huge dripstones very much differ based on the ceiling height.

#Minecraft Iron veins are so captivating.. I found a cave on our server with the most amount of iron veins that I have ever seen. I have been mining iron for like 3 weeks now and I think I have finally depleted the cave of all the iron. Don’t think I need to build an iron farm just yet 😂

I'm almost certain sculk will not feature very prominently in the fourth dimension/Nextworld, at least not as we know it. It certainly won't be a "Deep Dark" dimension, despite being accessible through the ancient city portal.

I think it's self evident to the devs that dedicating an entire dimension to a slightly enhanced copy of a certain biome would be a bad idea. Like, the ancient city is already one of Minecraft's most developed features. I'm more concerned on how the new biomes would take advantage of verticality.

Blatant misinformation, the Super Mario RPG remake is one of the best selling Mario RPGs. TTYD and Brothership also sold 2 million copies each, which is good for both Mario RPG and late Switch 1 standards (especially for TTYD considering the fact that it’s a remake).

Is there any other Minecraft item that punishes you for lacking it quite like mending books? Worse gear? Combat is slightly harder. No efficiency? Mining is longer, but not that bad. Meanwhile, there's a dedicated system for not having mending to bureaucratically enforce the expense of being poor.

Happy birthday, Minecraft! (May 17)

I remember a few months ago that Jeb is good with changing Minecraft's enchanting system, but not quite convinced on removing the repair limit. In that case, I hope it at least becomes more consistent, like not taking prior enchantments into account. The way it's currently executed is still broken.

In the next Chaos Cubed snapshot (most likely), sulfur caves will stop generating a grass layer just like dripstone caves. As confirmed by Gnembon on the bug tracker, this is to embrace the biome generating on the surface rather than completely patching it out.

GOD, Minecraft nostalgia bait is my least favourite content on the fucking internet. "This gen + all the modern biomes would be peak" yeah you already have that option; It's called amplified terrain. This has always existed, you're just blind or stupid or both.

Minecraft 26.2 really is just the geysers and cubes drop. Geysers that add life to the surface. Sulfur cubes that change physics depending on what block you feed them, or even cause havoc when fed a block of magma or TNT. And I guess those geysers lead to new massive veins of sulfur and cinnabar.
