another reason to not just use the elytra is always a plus, and another bit of regular, tiered gear is great - hoping they do that for armour next, which tends to be really samey compared to the tool/weapon variety the game has.

it’s unfortunate that both the Nautilus and spears were both leaked beforehand, since it got people speculating about a much larger ocean update which was never gonna be the case. Mojang’s official teasers also basically confirmed the Nautilus leak, which didn’t help.

while i’m fine with them doing smaller updates and touching up old areas of the game, i did find myself saying “cool, but that was it?”, like i did when the happy ghast was announced. really hoping they have something good planned for 1.22 - i would be satisfied with something similar in size to 1.21, but it feels like the community will implode if they don’t do an end update at some point soon.

edited to add: there will probably be more stuff added in snapshots than what they’ve announced here, like there has been for every other “game drop”, so that’s probably not it. still, wish they at least said that… unless they did, and i missed it…
