    Idk about many of the people here, but I’m glad to see copper finally getting some much-overdue love, right now it just fills our chests since we can’t even make beacons with it. I’m most excited about the autocrafters, I can’t believe they actually made an old childhood dream of mine a real thing. Can’t wait to finally make 100%-automated dried kelp factories that can continuously refuel themselves at an ever-increasing rate, paper mills, iron block farms, sawmills, slime and (if I can figure out how to grab the 4 empty bottles to be taken back to the dispensers) honey farms that automatically produce the blocks needed for airships, and gold farms that make the ingots and blocks for you.

    I also find the new wind-blaze thing interesting, curious to see what more they’ll do with that one.

    That being said I do really hope that they surprise us with more content in this update than just all of that, like they did with the sakura biomes. This is all a great start, but I really hope they aren’t lazy again like with 1.20; maybe finally add palm trees? And they better at least make wolf armor enchantable; don’t make me regret having the armadillo as my second-favorite after the crab


  • True. This is Mojang. A studio that has been a subsidary of a megacorporation worth trillions of dollars for a good 9 years. The creators of a game that is over 14 years old and still going strong, an IP worth BILLIONS of dollars… and they keep carrying on like they’re still an indie studio, going in mere months from several exciting mega-updates that completely upend the gameplay to 2 flops that we had to wait an absurdly long time for each, for how little they added compared to the updates that immediately preceded them. And used the second-decimal revisions of those to sneak in a few rule changes that enshittify the multiplayer experience with fuck-all input from the community.


  • And they don’t even censor the right people. They have these algorithms that keep on recommending videos designed to teach preteens that it’s “based” to:

    • be cartoonishly homophobic to the point that gays live in your head rent free
    • support the war in Ukraine because it hates gays slightly less than Russia does
    • feel entitled to sex, getting mad when a guy of another ethnicity successfully hits on their crush because they never made a move

    Which then ends with them joining and donating family funds that aren’t theirs to Andrew Tate’s little incel cult, blasting the soviet anthem on the bus and then getting mad when nobody laughs and/or with gay kids bullied to the point of suicide.

    I’m honestly torn between Crab (seemingly the favorite to win, would make construction way more convenient without all the scaffolding) and Armadillo (as MC has long been lacking in the pet department; cats don’t do much besides repel creepers and protect you from phantoms, the equines and camels are just mounts, parrots don’t really do anything, and allays are painfully rare for how useful they are and more of manual labor than pets), and we never let our wolves help fight mobs and make them sit in our bases all the time, ever fearful of their job’s high mortality rate. But IMO they should just add all 3 because they all sound really useful (we won’t go wrong no matter which one wins, unlike with the sniffer, phantom and glow squid)- but that would take way too much effort for mojang to handle these days, as they’ve gotten so lazy they fail to deliver in a whole year what every other major ancient game that still updates regularly can do in 2 months; we had to wait A WHOLE YEAR for minor bug fixes, JE server performance being increased from 12 TPS to 13 TPS, a new tree and 2 new mobs. Or at least hold a “second-chance” mob vote for the runner-ups of previous ones.

    And if the crab wins, they better make it rave to jukeboxes and give its claw enchants that increase its reach even more.
