I'm glad Jeb mentioned the elder guardians because I think we need more mining-blocking things. I think the trial chambers are ideal for example, there's already a water tank to dump an elder guardian into. The issue would be, can players still get inside the structure first? There would need to be some way to limit the area of effect to just the bounding box of the chambers, with an additional corridor coming out of that which players could find and then enter
You'd think an enemy like the Elder guardian in a game like Minecraft would've come sooner , the concept of an enemy that prevents you from mining would sound terrifying in caves. It would in centivise me to bring milk into caves because of that
Honestly, the Trial Chambers deserves their own version of the Elder Guardian or a boss mob that is on the same line as the Elder Guardian work but on a different scale or something tbh, so yeah
Maybe the only way to get inside the trial chambers are from the entrance room. But then again you can also use pistons and tnt to get it. So maybe have them be disable when near a trial chamber. Or have the blocks that has been broken be replaced. Also, be always thought that the perfect place for the entrance room to be in is the stronghold in a secret room.

Small thing i noticed around the time the 15th anniversary map came out, but there is one Rose in the version switcher map that stays a rose in the 1.20 version of the map. It does not switch to a poppy, but every single other rose switches to a poppy if it isnt obstructed. Not sure if they fixed it or not, but it was tucked away along the edge walls of the first area if you want to look for it and show it off. If you can't find it, I took plenty of screenshots that I'm more than willing to provide
i am really happy we get to hear the devs' opinions regarding older minecraft and how things compare to now, especially when they bring up parts of history that aren't always acknowledged.
This may be a hot take, but I don't even want them to add the red dragon anymore... It just doesn't feel all that original, and I would rather they add new unique mobs that fit Minecraft's vibe better, like the Shulkers, Endermen, Creepers, Sniffer, Allays, Guardians, etc. Red Dragons would just be so _generic,_ and like like their original fantasy mobs better.
My problem isn't really the dragon itself it's more that I'm confident they wouldn't add it in in a interesting way. Like, it'd get a lair or something and that's it then that ONE structure would be the main one point of an entire update. I just wish updates were more substantial nowadays, I'm pretty sure the community is willing to wait for quality too.
@@someguy5085 Can't say the same for 1.19 and 1.20, but 1.21 IS substantial... I dunno why people treat it as if its not just because its all focused on a single structure. Its a big structure with a lot of content within it.
@@lasercraft32 I forgot to mention I was fine with 1.21 lol. Mainly because of the trial chambers complexity and the fact it adds some spice for seasoned PVP players. But I do have one problem, it is practically a wasted structure because someone new or newly returning to Minecraft won't know about it and there isn't really an intuitive way to know about it. This isn't only a problem with the chamber though, it's a problem for a good amount of structures and additions. Archaeology is a good example, imagine if inside of caves you could find abandoned archeology sites that are around big bone structures surrounded by scaffolding. Archeology now is really just paleontology/anthropology and there really isn't even a good reward for participating in it. Personally I really like everything Minecraft has added, ever. I just think the need to do a couple of revamp updates, to make old stuff a lot cooler and give everything a use.
@@TehJimlad They added beetroots to the ender city chests just because they added them in the same update. Remember, back in the day they added stuff based on what they wanted to add, not based on logic or lore ¯\_(ツ)_/
@@Yegor_Mechanic Fun fact: Beetroots were actually on Pocket Edition for almost two years before Java got them (November 22, 2013 on Pocket, as opposed to July 29, 2015 on Java).
-Fun fact:- -The ability to pause the game was on Java for almost... God knows how many years before Bedrock got it :)- -We still don't know when it's comming to Bedrock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯-
@@Yegor_Mechanic That's because Bedrock worlds are actually locally-hosted servers that other players can join at any time, meaning pausing wouldn't really work (same reason why opening a Java world to LAN disables pausing). I wasn't even trying to compare the two versions; just pointing out an interesting fact about Beetroots.
My dog has the same birthday as Minecraft. (I know this had almost nothing to do with the video, I just needed a reason to comment) EDIT: To anyone wondering, he's 15! Born May 2009, Same age as Minecraft. He's a Jack Russell X and besides looking ancient, the lil' bugger is still going strong 💪
The banana thing isn't actually true. A single stem (called a pup) will only fruit once, but the pups share a root system that sends up multiple shoots per year and the next. You don't really need to replant them.
I actually dismissed the devs talk video at first for two reasons: the first reason is that I thought it was just going to be a bunch of sensitized corporate lingo about the game and whatnot, and the second one is not including/talking about notch, which say however you feel about him, he is still the creator of the game and talking about it's origin without including him in some way just feels off to me, but I'm glad that my assumptions were wrong and they were just talking honestly and somewhat freely about how they feel which felt very refreshing and kind of nostalgic in a way
They weren't referring to staying over during the weekends to large amounts of work but more of the office culture of it being so chill and relaxed that they would just go there for fun. Also updates slowed and are changed because quality standards grew with time.
So I’ve noticed that in the Newest promotional stuff for Minecraft, Infinite Amethyst has taken the place of the old Minecraft Menu music that is used in videos. It’s not a bad thing, but I really miss hearing the old music and it would have been a great time to use it during the 15th anniversary! It may have been something with C418 owning the rights and Lena Raine not, but still kinda sad about it😢
C418 owns all the rights to his music, the reason mojang isn't working with him anymore is because Microsoft wants the full rights to any music in the game, which the current composers are fine with. It's a shame, C418 even has music ready for the game, their lawyers just can't agree on anything.
@@themc3140 I know that part, but they continued to use his music until somewhat recently, way after he was told he was not making the music anymore and they hired Lena Raine. I get they want to use their stuff because they own it but it’s kinda sad that it’s not used in their media as much anymore, despite it being the 15th anniversary
@@James89227 Kinda, but they've been replacing him for a while. They left his music out of Smash Bros., haven't mentioned him (to my knowledge) in either anniversary celebration, they used Lena Raine's nether music when showcasing new features, and pretty much every other remnant of his music outside of the game has been replaced now.
@@James89227 Yeah, that's fair. They were still using the 'Minecraft' leitmotif in the outros of Minecraft trailers for the longest time, I think they've stopped doing that with the anniversary stuff
Admittedly, I’m not Minecraft’s target demographic, but I never understood it until I was laid off during the pandemic. Looking for something to do, I picked up playing Minecraft and now I’m here subbed to ibxtoycat!
Everyone is Minecraft’s target audience. It wasn’t 12 year old boys who paid for the game license when it was indie and it wasn’t 12 year old boys who were making those early day RUclips videos. Everyone is allowed to like Minecraft and play Minecraft. It’s not our fault Microsoft thinks gendered merch sells well, it’s not our fault that the RUclips algorithm prefers male creators in what it thinks is male centric communities. Glad you like the game, we are so happy to have you!
@@madi7178 Exactly. I was 19 when I started playing in 2012 and I'm a woman. I've been hooked ever since and I'm still playing on my first Singleplayer world ever, just updating it, and play with my brother in our LAN world whenever we can.
Yeah it’s crazy to think I’ve been on and off watching this channel for almost 15 years. I remember being a literal kid and saying I’m gonna watch toycat, antvenom, skydoesminecraft, and now you’re like one of the top Minecraft RUclipsrs ever.
I think the red dragon is the new herobrian lol. I miss the *removed herobrian Change log but then occasionally teasing a red dragon that just never comes in is also kinda funny
As someone that's been in the minecraft community since the very beginning, it's still so insane seeing how far its come across the past decade and a half.
Notch did a George Lucas and yeah, it hurt some relationships, but it makes sense to me. Working on something for a long time and losing passion is a completely fair reason, especially if you’ll make a couple million for selling it lol
@@oldylad He would have made a couple million even without selling it, he could have just given the creative role to some dedicated employee and friend while he takes a step back from the game for some time. His decision was purely impulsive and emotional

Good video, but I think the thumbnail is a little disingenuous. Boiling this video down to just "Staff talks about acquisition," feels wrong to me. I think this was because of just how youtube works and how you need to make an eye-catching title while still remaining relevant to the video.
"For a good game, you need to have features that people hate, and actively try to avoid, because it makes the other features better" Doesn't make any sense to me but ok.
I don't think making other features better is the right way to word it, but making features that get in the way make the player adapt. Mechanics like the rain in Breath of the Wild, or the police on GTA
It makes sense - they don't need to tryhard on absolutely every part of the game to make it perfect or enjoyable, it could be pretty much be like real life and have things you like and things you hate and things with pros and cons
Really wish they would do something about powered snow or whatever it's called, the snow biome used to be my fav, but now it's just horrible to explore it. Would be nice if frost walker or something more practical than leather boots worked, to make it less of a pain, and make snowballs stack to 64 while you're at it, breaking 2 blocks and having an inventory filled with stacks of snowballs is also such a pain.
So nice to hear Toycat being unapologetically happy and thankful for his time on YT, his viewers, and the game. It's just all around positive and wholesome.
I just wish the next big update for improving the game would be villages getting an overhaul. Like finding a mega village, where there is an like 3-5 times bigger than your average. Or something like a famers village, where most of the area is surrounded by farms, or even adding things like a farmers market to villages. Villages today are better then before but they still lack so much.
Yeah that bit about kids is so true. Once you have kids (especially in the early years), the idea of free time (like vacation or something) or spending extra time on a project is basically non-existent. The free time you get essentially becomes wind down time so that you can rest up for the next day of hecticness. And if you get any free time, you need to spend it with your kids because they are only that age once and you can't afford to miss the opportunity of spending time with them and nurturing their development.
Oh when you said food changes I expected it to be about the one in Beta 1.8 that fundamentally changed what role food played in the game. And of course I know you started with legacy console so you may not even remember that. But food used to just be the healing item. Eating healed you directly, no hunger bar, and b1.8 The Adventure Update, added hunger and changed everything. And some classic foods got a whole lot worse than they were originally intended to be due to this reframing, and never revisited. It’s a change I have strong feelings about and wish more people would talk about it. I have had a single person try to convince me that the new version of food is an improvement, and I want to like it. The argument just wasn’t very compelling.
Minecraft dev team: Doesn't add something because they just can't make it work The gazillion modders out there: They couldn't, BUT THE CODE CAN'T STOP US ALL!!!
When I started my first company, when I finally got home from the office I was met with more rackmounts blasting away in my living room xD There's no escape. Now in corporate we get stressed more for less hours, and it takes 10x as much time overall to do anything, and really easy to fix bugs stay for years because they're not officially planned in. I'm not sure which is worse, the latter doesn't have to be that way but it just is.
In my world, I found quite a bit of drip stone that has generated on the side of a mountain’s surface. From what I remember (I found it a day ago) it’s not part of a big cave system. Is this normal? because I don’t think I’ve seen this before
Worlds that have terrain from older versions is always interesting. Especially if the person is deliberately going through each update just to see what changes.
This is why I hate it so much when people call Mojang "lazy" for not making ridiculously huge updates. They're REAL PEOPLE with lives outside of work, with kids to take care of... But because they don't make every update as big as the Nether Update people whine and complain about it (even though they literally got overworked and had a lot of time crunch in order to even make the Nether Update).
@@emilydavidson8844 They have a money chokehold on Mojang. I know they don't contribute to the development, but it's because of them that people blame Mojang for everything they hate with Minecraft. Bedrock being Microsoft's "golden child" is one example of this
This is the first main channel video I've ever watched and I've been subscribed to channel 2 for over a year. I bought Minecraft shortly after it left alpha, and exclusively played single player basically as a music visualuzer (that's right, I turned off ingsme music immediately, oops) and haven't touched it in years. Stopped playing before hunger was introduced as an official feature and not a mod.
I don't hate them, but having snow cover all my builds and clearing it all just drives me crazy and powdered snow is good for traps and all but man I never go up mountains now, not that I ever see a mountain that's really rare for me to find now but man it pisses me off.
@Mazzy_Arts interesting. First thing I do in my worlds is find a snow biome and build there. I love the snow and actually like it building up on my houses n stuff, the snow makes everything look cozy
Playing in snowy biomes makes you change your whole design philosophy. I made a world in one & my plan was originally to build a big house going up but my brother built a tunnel between his & my base & that was it we made the farms underground & we built all the important things underground just to avoid the snow. The hatred makes you do something more fun than the generic house because you have a new problem to deal with leading to creative solutions.
I have started avoiding the newer versions because i like controller and bedrock edition is just too laggy and weird for me but this does seem interesting. I'll probably try it later
@@HeydenHarvey Yeah. Bedrock runs best on a console & somehow the phone version runs pretty well. Old console edition is way better as it never gets laggy unless you force it to by I don't know creating a lava TNT custom flat world (I hope they add the custom flat world to bedrock as its really fun & makes the flat worlds more than just a generic grass land. Like giving a nice base plate to build on.) But yea it is fun to do. I often start doing one thing in a world & it becomes something else due to how my brothers are playing. Once made a floating base & my brothers added an underwater section to it so I got the conduit so we could build the bottom without the hellish armies of drowned in the game.
@@cillianennis9921 Yeah, thats why I "can't" upgrade my Xbox even if I wanted to, apparently even if you own it or the disc you can't even download it. The legacy edition just feels better, it has a more greyed look to it which I like, the texture packs are really nice too.
@@HeydenHarvey I think if you own it you keep it but I'd have to ask one of my friends who had it owned on the xbox one. I got the game just as they'd made the switch so I never got the chance to keep the older version. My biggest hate about the new version is that half the classic skin packs are missing like the Doctor who one & skin packs for the 3 birthday onward.
@@cillianennis9921 thats also really annoying, I really like the xbox one edition skinpacks, they also have unique animations on some, if you do nothing using evil santa skin he sits down after like 30 seconds until you press or move anything on the controller
@@CIPHERINATOR They can add so much to the game but corporate greed doesnt allowed them too. Mojang in theory can release up to 10 mobs a year instead of the 1 they are releasing now.
@@casper6014 then people would just complain about them ruining Minecraft again. The game’s better more simple anyways, that’s what the charm is. 10 mobs a year would just make it feel moddy
@@emilydavidson8844 That's the beauty of console edition, it doesn't need constant updates to remain great. Hell it's the most challenging version of Minecraft to date solely because it doesn't have all the newer updates.
For the record. Notch made 5 or so statments almost 7 years ago out of ignorance and people acted like he was some depressed guy. 1. Every tweet since has been normal 2. People need to stop blowing a couple tweets out the water and realise that if you hate the guy so much then give up playing his game. Just needed to put this out there.
I’m always so upset when I see Minecraft release a map with crazy animations and mobs. Why not add these to the game then…? They COULD give us awesome animations and they ARENT? They COULD give us more ocean life and they WONT? Let’s UPGRADE the game you made instead of focusing on pushing almost finished content.
Like look around this freaking world dude. They released this map and we don’t have a good 50%(edit: probably actually like 90%) of the blocks they used to build it.
It would be cool if potions were "programmable", specifically cauldron potions. Maybe we could train a neural network to relate the ingredient sequences to a vector of potential effects you could get out of it. Then we could just have an infinite variety of potions we could make, and have a whole sub-game of creating the wackiest potions you can make outta it.
Man, I love mojang, they are literal OPPOSIDE of Valve They treat their game as their own and only child with such care, and you can see it! They are also really like to communicate with its community, thats awesome! meanwhile valve..
8:16. This is just plain wrong. If you make something that sucks, it doesn't make everything else better, it just means everyone will avoid that thing. It probably just not a priority to improve these things, if it was 100% necessary to go to these places, or do the things which suck, they would almost certainly change them. (Saying this as a game dev/designer)
Pretending notch doesn’t exist doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Even big corporations like Walmart still understand that they had a creator at one point. Without the creator, the people working now would have a different job.
I know Notch has said some pretty bad things on Twitter after he sold Minecraft but hey people make mistakes the the guy was going thought a lot depression, I think everybody no matter what they’ve done deserve forgiveness they if the person chooses the change then they should be allowed to. I’m hoping that Notch gets put back into the credits in Minecraft someday.
He just said "it's okay to be white." Everyone hated that he said that, implying they themselves are racist towards white people. Now everyone chooses to believe lies about him, because they don't want truth. The woke cult in a nutshell.
That’s true, but from the sounds of it he doesn’t regret a bit of what he said. I’m willing to forgive, but only when there’s a legitimate attempt to change. That’s how mutual forgiveness works.
Haha I hate the snow biomes... though my shader pack gives it the Northern Lights, which... I mean looks pretty fun. Also, didn't know banana trees only produced fruit once before having to be replanted... who says Minecraft isn't educational? (Believe it or not I have actually heard this LoL)
11:00 You could just hire enough people to do more than what you think will be needed. Instead of, you know, requiring young adults sell their soul to the Dollhouse.

i am really happy we get to hear the devs' opinions regarding older minecraft and how things compare to now, especially when they bring up parts of history that aren't always acknowledged.
This may be a hot take, but I don't even want them to add the red dragon anymore... It just doesn't feel all that original, and I would rather they add new unique mobs that fit Minecraft's vibe better, like the Shulkers, Endermen, Creepers, Sniffer, Allays, Guardians, etc. Red Dragons would just be so _generic,_ and like like their original fantasy mobs better.
That's not a hot take
My problem isn't really the dragon itself it's more that I'm confident they wouldn't add it in in a interesting way. Like, it'd get a lair or something and that's it then that ONE structure would be the main one point of an entire update. I just wish updates were more substantial nowadays, I'm pretty sure the community is willing to wait for quality too.
Honestly, the mods have done so many cool things, that they should prioritize what makes Minecraft itself.
@@someguy5085 Can't say the same for 1.19 and 1.20, but 1.21 IS substantial... I dunno why people treat it as if its not just because its all focused on a single structure. Its a big structure with a lot of content within it.
@@lasercraft32 I forgot to mention I was fine with 1.21 lol. Mainly because of the trial chambers complexity and the fact it adds some spice for seasoned PVP players. But I do have one problem, it is practically a wasted structure because someone new or newly returning to Minecraft won't know about it and there isn't really an intuitive way to know about it. This isn't only a problem with the chamber though, it's a problem for a good amount of structures and additions. Archaeology is a good example, imagine if inside of caves you could find abandoned archeology sites that are around big bone structures surrounded by scaffolding. Archeology now is really just paleontology/anthropology and there really isn't even a good reward for participating in it. Personally I really like everything Minecraft has added, ever. I just think the need to do a couple of revamp updates, to make old stuff a lot cooler and give everything a use.
Thanks for linking the interviews on the description, I despise your yapping but I probably wouldn't even know about those vids without you
I was always confused about the chores fruit, like I thought it was meant to be some corrupted cactus or soomthing 💀
Maybe corrupted beetroot? That would explain the beetroot seeds in the end cities
@@TehJimlad They added beetroots to the ender city chests just because they added them in the same update.
Remember, back in the day they added stuff based on what they wanted to add, not based on logic or lore ¯\_(ツ)_/
@@Yegor_Mechanic Fun fact: Beetroots were actually on Pocket Edition for almost two years before Java got them (November 22, 2013 on Pocket, as opposed to July 29, 2015 on Java).
-Fun fact:-
-The ability to pause the game was on Java for almost... God knows how many years before Bedrock got it :)-
-We still don't know when it's comming to Bedrock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯-
@@Yegor_Mechanic That's because Bedrock worlds are actually locally-hosted servers that other players can join at any time, meaning pausing wouldn't really work (same reason why opening a Java world to LAN disables pausing).
I wasn't even trying to compare the two versions; just pointing out an interesting fact about Beetroots.

The banana thing isn't actually true. A single stem (called a pup) will only fruit once, but the pups share a root system that sends up multiple shoots per year and the next. You don't really need to replant them.
Yeah, but I'd love if they add the banana fruit and plant into the game, something for the Jungle Biome tbh

I see you.
I can't believe dinnerbone lied to Jeb (and me)
I actually dismissed the devs talk video at first for two reasons: the first reason is that I thought it was just going to be a bunch of sensitized corporate lingo about the game and whatnot, and the second one is not including/talking about notch, which say however you feel about him, he is still the creator of the game and talking about it's origin without including him in some way just feels off to me, but I'm glad that my assumptions were wrong and they were just talking honestly and somewhat freely about how they feel which felt very refreshing and kind of nostalgic in a way
They weren't referring to staying over during the weekends to large amounts of work but more of the office culture of it being so chill and relaxed that they would just go there for fun. Also updates slowed and are changed because quality standards grew with time.
16:40 You know you can climb those cave vines, right?
You can't climb them. This is literally ONLY for this stupid minigame

So I’ve noticed that in the Newest promotional stuff for Minecraft, Infinite Amethyst has taken the place of the old Minecraft Menu music that is used in videos. It’s not a bad thing, but I really miss hearing the old music and it would have been a great time to use it during the 15th anniversary! It may have been something with C418 owning the rights and Lena Raine not, but still kinda sad about it😢
C418 owns all the rights to his music, the reason mojang isn't working with him anymore is because Microsoft wants the full rights to any music in the game, which the current composers are fine with. It's a shame, C418 even has music ready for the game, their lawyers just can't agree on anything.
@@themc3140 I know that part, but they continued to use his music until somewhat recently, way after he was told he was not making the music anymore and they hired Lena Raine. I get they want to use their stuff because they own it but it’s kinda sad that it’s not used in their media as much anymore, despite it being the 15th anniversary
@@James89227 Kinda, but they've been replacing him for a while. They left his music out of Smash Bros., haven't mentioned him (to my knowledge) in either anniversary celebration, they used Lena Raine's nether music when showcasing new features, and pretty much every other remnant of his music outside of the game has been replaced now.
@@themc3140 that’s true, I guess I really just noticed it’s absence for such a big occasion like the 15th anniversary stuff
@@James89227 Yeah, that's fair. They were still using the 'Minecraft' leitmotif in the outros of Minecraft trailers for the longest time, I think they've stopped doing that with the anniversary stuff
Admittedly, I’m not Minecraft’s target demographic, but I never understood it until I was laid off during the pandemic. Looking for something to do, I picked up playing Minecraft and now I’m here subbed to ibxtoycat!
Everyone is Minecraft’s target audience. It wasn’t 12 year old boys who paid for the game license when it was indie and it wasn’t 12 year old boys who were making those early day RUclips videos. Everyone is allowed to like Minecraft and play Minecraft. It’s not our fault Microsoft thinks gendered merch sells well, it’s not our fault that the RUclips algorithm prefers male creators in what it thinks is male centric communities. Glad you like the game, we are so happy to have you!
@@madi7178 Exactly. I was 19 when I started playing in 2012 and I'm a woman. I've been hooked ever since and I'm still playing on my first Singleplayer world ever, just updating it, and play with my brother in our LAN world whenever we can.
Yeah it’s crazy to think I’ve been on and off watching this channel for almost 15 years. I remember being a literal kid and saying I’m gonna watch toycat, antvenom, skydoesminecraft, and now you’re like one of the top Minecraft RUclipsrs ever.

16:38 Umm... Did you forget you could climb Glow Berry Vines?
whoops, I didn’t know this so I rage quit the mini game XD
As someone that's been in the minecraft community since the very beginning, it's still so insane seeing how far its come across the past decade and a half.

16:50 it was really funny to see you failint at climbing the glowberries vines and just "rage" quiting XD
I saw that too lol
Wasn't Jeb hurt by Notch selling it off too? heard it cost their friendship.
Notch did a George Lucas and yeah, it hurt some relationships, but it makes sense to me. Working on something for a long time and losing passion is a completely fair reason, especially if you’ll make a couple million for selling it lol
@@oldylad He would have made a couple million even without selling it, he could have just given the creative role to some dedicated employee and friend while he takes a step back from the game for some time. His decision was purely impulsive and emotional
@@MattBG67 But Notch was already not the creative worker when it happened. He did take step back for Jeb to acquire the creative control in 2011.
@@oldylad notch had already made money and stepped down from the game, and asked Jeb to take over after that, but instead of just letting him be the head of Mojang, Notch sold it to Microsoft
I just wish they'd throw one of these events on Java once in a while. We're always left out when it comes to these events.
Good video, but I think the thumbnail is a little disingenuous. Boiling this video down to just "Staff talks about acquisition," feels wrong to me. I think this was because of just how youtube works and how you need to make an eye-catching title while still remaining relevant to the video.
Yeah, it’s Toycat, so it’s about the hustle with the thumbnails lol.
im sad that jeb didnt mention that his inspiration for the wither was terraria :(
Yeah didn't he get the inspiration of summoning it from the terraria bosses or something like that
"For a good game, you need to have features that people hate, and actively try to avoid, because it makes the other features better" Doesn't make any sense to me but ok.
I don't think making other features better is the right way to word it, but making features that get in the way make the player adapt. Mechanics like the rain in Breath of the Wild, or the police on GTA
@@Breeze926 he prob phrased it horribly
It makes sense - they don't need to tryhard on absolutely every part of the game to make it perfect or enjoyable, it could be pretty much be like real life and have things you like and things you hate and things with pros and cons
Does he mean like a "force of nature" thing?
Jeb, you dont hear from him as often now, so it's cool to see him in action here
Really wish they would do something about powered snow or whatever it's called, the snow biome used to be my fav, but now it's just horrible to explore it.
Would be nice if frost walker or something more practical than leather boots worked, to make it less of a pain, and make snowballs stack to 64 while you're at it, breaking 2 blocks and having an inventory filled with stacks of snowballs is also such a pain.
Toycat not realising that he was meant to climb the glow berries is really funny to me for some reason
I dont hate the snow. I love it. Aell it probably because i really love glaceon bc they so silly and adorable.
Same!! I don't know why they hate snow that much, this is probably why we don't get a lot of features in snow biomes.
@@A_Beacon_Of_HopeYeah
So nice to hear Toycat being unapologetically happy and thankful for his time on YT, his viewers, and the game. It's just all around positive and wholesome.
I just wish the next big update for improving the game would be villages getting an overhaul. Like finding a mega village, where there is an like 3-5 times bigger than your average. Or something like a famers village, where most of the area is surrounded by farms, or even adding things like a farmers market to villages. Villages today are better then before but they still lack so much.
Microsoft buying mojang was terrible but it could have been worse. Imagine if EA or Bethesda bought Minecraft. That would be a real nightmare.
FR
I dont think they would've even if they could
notch existing in a modern minecraft video is like finding a 100 dollar bill in the road, extremely rare, but oddly satisfying
Yeah that bit about kids is so true. Once you have kids (especially in the early years), the idea of free time (like vacation or something) or spending extra time on a project is basically non-existent. The free time you get essentially becomes wind down time so that you can rest up for the next day of hecticness. And if you get any free time, you need to spend it with your kids because they are only that age once and you can't afford to miss the opportunity of spending time with them and nurturing their development.
The snow biomes really could use some love though.
I was born two months before minecraft was born,this is the only game that I will remember in decades to come.
Oh when you said food changes I expected it to be about the one in Beta 1.8 that fundamentally changed what role food played in the game.
And of course I know you started with legacy console so you may not even remember that. But food used to just be the healing item. Eating healed you directly, no hunger bar, and b1.8 The Adventure Update, added hunger and changed everything. And some classic foods got a whole lot worse than they were originally intended to be due to this reframing, and never revisited.
It’s a change I have strong feelings about and wish more people would talk about it. I have had a single person try to convince me that the new version of food is an improvement, and I want to like it. The argument just wasn’t very compelling.
Minecraft dev team: Doesn't add something because they just can't make it work
The gazillion modders out there: They couldn't, BUT THE CODE CAN'T STOP US ALL!!!
The frozen biomes are my favorite
When I started my first company, when I finally got home from the office I was met with more rackmounts blasting away in my living room xD There's no escape.
Now in corporate we get stressed more for less hours, and it takes 10x as much time overall to do anything, and really easy to fix bugs stay for years because they're not officially planned in. I'm not sure which is worse, the latter doesn't have to be that way but it just is.
Update feature: dyed bricks. Bricks could be way more useful and in a lot of builds if they weren’t in just one color
This is why we should have paint in Minecraft
@@CIPHERINATOR i would rather just use dye because it already works
In my world, I found quite a bit of drip stone that has generated on the side of a mountain’s surface. From what I remember (I found it a day ago) it’s not part of a big cave system. Is this normal? because I don’t think I’ve seen this before
I think it’s crazy how Minecraft is already 15 but me being 15 isn’t a big deal.
Worlds that have terrain from older versions is always interesting. Especially if the person is deliberately going through each update just to see what changes.
Missed opportunity to mention the cut Sky dimension
Too much nostalgia in these few seconds.
I love the frozen biomes. What I hate is the desert. :P
This brings tears to both present me and past me.
This is why I hate it so much when people call Mojang "lazy" for not making ridiculously huge updates. They're REAL PEOPLE with lives outside of work, with kids to take care of... But because they don't make every update as big as the Nether Update people whine and complain about it (even though they literally got overworked and had a lot of time crunch in order to even make the Nether Update).
No the issue is other games are able to put out large updates while still having work life balance. They aren’t all working 80 hours a week

@Mazzy_Arts interesting. First thing I do in my worlds is find a snow biome and build there. I love the snow and actually like it building up on my houses n stuff, the snow makes everything look cozy
Playing in snowy biomes makes you change your whole design philosophy. I made a world in one & my plan was originally to build a big house going up but my brother built a tunnel between his & my base & that was it we made the farms underground & we built all the important things underground just to avoid the snow. The hatred makes you do something more fun than the generic house because you have a new problem to deal with leading to creative solutions.
I have started avoiding the newer versions because i like controller and bedrock edition is just too laggy and weird for me but this does seem interesting. I'll probably try it later
@@HeydenHarvey Yeah. Bedrock runs best on a console & somehow the phone version runs pretty well. Old console edition is way better as it never gets laggy unless you force it to by I don't know creating a lava TNT custom flat world (I hope they add the custom flat world to bedrock as its really fun & makes the flat worlds more than just a generic grass land. Like giving a nice base plate to build on.) But yea it is fun to do. I often start doing one thing in a world & it becomes something else due to how my brothers are playing. Once made a floating base & my brothers added an underwater section to it so I got the conduit so we could build the bottom without the hellish armies of drowned in the game.
@@cillianennis9921 Yeah, thats why I "can't" upgrade my Xbox even if I wanted to, apparently even if you own it or the disc you can't even download it. The legacy edition just feels better, it has a more greyed look to it which I like, the texture packs are really nice too.
@@HeydenHarvey I think if you own it you keep it but I'd have to ask one of my friends who had it owned on the xbox one. I got the game just as they'd made the switch so I never got the chance to keep the older version. My biggest hate about the new version is that half the classic skin packs are missing like the Doctor who one & skin packs for the 3 birthday onward.
@@cillianennis9921 thats also really annoying, I really like the xbox one edition skinpacks, they also have unique animations on some, if you do nothing using evil santa skin he sits down after like 30 seconds until you press or move anything on the controller
