TIMESTAMPS IN THE DESCRIPTION FAQ: Q: Weren't the new caves added in 1.18, not 1.17? A: Yeah, ima be honest, I kinda fumbled on that one, instead of "Best of 1.17 and 1.18", it was more like "Best of Caves" and "Best of Cliffs". The snapshots in between the two updates made it hard to determine which addition belonged to which update. Q: What factors are being considered to choose the best "thing"? A: Depends honestly, some of them are chosen because they have a lot of relevance in speedrunning/beating the game, others are just iconic features that make Minecraft what it is, and some of them are just because "I like it". There's really no ranking here, it's just that out of the features added in each of these updates, I think that these are the ones that stand out to me in a good way
14:27 while I do think that the shipwrecks are cool. I feel like the best thing in the 1.13 uptade was (By a lot) the ability to swim, it made you actually want to explore the ocen since you could move fowards at a speed faster than 1 block per minute
He forgot that in 1.13 we have a swimming animation. We couldn't swim fast before 1.13 and it was a pain. But the update was very helpful. Also you get to go through a 1 block gap!
1.13 is my favourite update. I always thought the Minecraft oceans were boring and I always wished Mojang would update them. 1.8 kinda did that but 1.13 just made the game more lively in a way no other update could’ve done
The other great thing about enchantments requiring lapis is that now doing a max-level enchant doesn't eat all of your 30 levels, it just takes 3 but requires you to be level 30.
@anime_vibes__. i think the old combat system was broken and 1.9 was a great update becasue it required more skill and you need to choose the best weapon for each senario and trade offs of attack speed vs attack damage made combat more interesting and 1.9 shields were better becasue they didnt eliminate all damge unlike now, and the off hand has been a great addition - at least on java - and made the game much harder and more interesting to play. like, in 1.8 and prior there's like no skill at all, all that really matters is how much cps you can manage and how well you are at tracking objects. but that's just my opinion.
makes the game too easy i play 1.2.5 where the max enchant level is 50 and it eats all your levels, really makes it feel like you earned that enchanted diamond sword and makes it more valuable instead of something you grind out by day 2
One change that always get buried under the bigger changes, but was absolutely huge in my opinion is the changes made to boats. They used to be absolutely horrible, but now they actually function as boats. They don't break on impact with literally anything anymore and if you do decide to break it, you actually get the boat back instead of some planks and sticks. 10/10
Not only that, but it made the game playable again in multiplayer and modded. Servers struggled to run 1.13 and 1.14, and even when forge caught up to it, there were hardly any mods made between 1.12 and 1.15 because the lag was unbearable. 1.15 wasn't meant to be a content update, it was meant to make up for mojang rewriting the game for better performance.
1.17 was like a malformed cookie. Sure the basics are there, but it's definitely not good. 1.18 was like a cookie made with the purest grandma essence ever. It's leaps and bounds better, despite having lots of the same things, just that it's higher quality
@@zcarp8642Thank you. Not enough people realize this common sense. 1.17 was one of the worst updates and people treat it like it was one of the best because technically it added a lot when it really didn’t lol
@@jasonsenter1646As a builder I love 1.17, because you are able to use all 1.18 blocks (obv not talking about later versions) without -64 world boarder and specific deepslate levels, so it’s much easier to strip mine and find diamonds. Also, because deepslate isn’t instamined with haste 2, mining in post 1.18 is just unpleasant
I feel like armor stands shoulda definitely won 1.8 because of how much they did for people who worked with command blocks and custom maps. Also honey was definitely underrated because since they act like slime blocks that don’t stick to other slime blocks it was huge for anyone who likes redstone.
@@_Mintyz_ the new display entities basically replace a lot of features developers used them for, such as floating text, floating items, and blocks, but they're more flexible and convenient than armor stands ever were.
The best thing about 1.3 will always be the "Open to LAN" button to me. Playing in the same virtual space as my siblings from different computers was once a rare commodity!
I have a theory. The Nether wasn’t always a fiery hellscape. It was like lush caves. But then the piglins found Pigstep. When they played it, it was so fire, it turned the dimension into hell.
It's dangerous and has lots of cheating mobs.(even though zombified piglins, piglins and blazes are the only ones that cheats) But I'm not a noob. I'm a pro. We also so annoyed when sometimes the portal spawned us in random parts of the Overworld when we exit. @@ArcticFox-s1z
I always hate the nether! Reasons: Too dangerous, has the cheating mobs that I really hate(zombified piglins), can't place waters, easy to lost the nether portal,(until uses a lodestone), nether portal spawn us in a different parts of the Overworld after exit the nether, it's hard to strip mine because of the stupid lavas underground and snow golems can't survive there.(even though they can hurt blazes)
honestly, 1.11 was a very tricky choice to make because it implemented two very useful features: shulker boxes (mentioned in the video) and rocket boosting, a much easier was of using the elytra to travel long distances instead of punch bow.
My favorite part of 1.18 was The Increase of the height of the world from height limit being from Y 256 to Y 319 and minimal height being from Y0 to Y -64
My picks: 1.0: Brewing (Potion is a fun addition) 1.1: Superflat (Making creative builds easier) 1.2: Jungle biome 1.3: Ender chest 1.4: Same as you 1.5: Same as you 1.6: Donkey (Act as an early game/pre 1.11 shulker box) 1.7: Same as you 1.8: Ocean monument 1.9: Shield 1.10: Magma block (For gold farm) 1.11: Same as you 1.12: Concrete blocks 1.13: Trident (1. Trident killer, op mob grinder for bedrock, 2. Easy way to get mob head once you get channeling) 1.14: Trading rework 1.15: Honey blocks (For redstone nerds) 1.16: Warped forest (1. Getting ender pearl from enderman if you hate bartering, 2. Warped woods) 1.17: Pointed dripstone (For infinite lava source) 1.18: Cave generation 1.19: Same as you 1.20: Same as you
As an honorable mention for Release 1.3 (1.3.1 in specific), it added the creative menu we all know and love today, with life saving categories instead of the jumbled mess of 1.2 and prior. Still remember spending ages trying to find a block instead of just searching it or looking it in a category of blocks.
something that not a lot of people remember is the fact that originally, you could not attack AT ALL during the attack cooldown for 1.9, but this was changed almost immediately because people hated it so much
from what I remember in 1.9 coming out was that my friend and I would laugh our ass off from just switching from a sword to an axe or pickaxe. due to the slow movements of the other tools (from the attack cooldown) we found it difficult to contain out laughter, and it was the funniest shit in minecraft for several days@@hiddlestunned
I think I started playing Minecraft since a little before the 1.12 update, and when 1.12 came, the ability to have beds that were not red was an amazing discovery to me
Extra info on things you mentioned that I expected to be mentioned: You can use iron golems for automatic iron You can use haste 2 from beacons to instant mine stone You can use a nametag on an endermite to prevent it from despawning, making enderman farms possible I'd argue honey blocks were definitely the best feature of 1.15 since it revolutionized slimestone Also, the main reason why 1.15 appears to be so lackluster was the amount of fixed bugs, performance improvements, and Bedrock parity changes
Yeah, ima be honest I kinda botched the difference between 1.17 and 1.18, it was kind of confusing with all the snapshots before 1.18 that were "technically" 1.17, I eventually just did one of "caves" and one of "cliffs" lol
@@mien1216 Technically speaking, the new cave gen *was* added in 1.17. It was just moved to a datapack halfway through the snapshot cycle. If you enabled the datapack when creating a 1.17 world, you could get a WIP version of the new caves.
Hi Omicron! I noticed that you really seemed to hate 1.15, but imo, it was a neccesary update because of the PERFORMANCE issues. 1.13 is infamous of being laggy on low-end devices without Optifine, and not only did 1.15 fix that, it also fixed several bugs, like the Alt+F4 dupe. This is something that only a little part of the community knows about, and I hope you change your view on The Buzzy Bees update.
not to mention the fact he put a music disc as the most impactful feature of 1.16 when 1.16 completely overhauled the nether, adding 2 new wood types, 4 new biomes and a plethora of new mobs and structures.
I don't even know in which update it was introduced but the recipe / crafting book is a godsend even for us veteran players. With the rapidly growing number of recipes you have to memorize and some tedious stuff you have to craft a lot of its a great way to safe you some time and braincells lmao, It's also really helpful for all the new players. I even love how you can only see the recipes you unlocked and not all of them immediately when you create a new world, which could spoil the fun and also overwhelm the player
In additon I would love for them to include a note book you can craft like a shield and then equip to a inventory slot.... I feel like not enough games especially open world games have a feature to write something down.... I always get distracted and lose sight of the materials I was looking for.
I’m probably gonna be the only person on earth who says this, but my favourite addition of 1.12 was Concrete. Having a decorative block that’s purely just the colour (and not extremely off like terracotta) is lowkey invaluable if you enjoy the building side of Minecraft
My favorite 1.20 addition is definitely the raft. Or as some people rather, BamBoat. As boats being some of the most overpowered early game items, having a new variant of it that just looks amazing is awesome.
One of my favorite features/changes in 1.18 are finally having interconnected rivers. for many years If you wanted to connect a lake to the ocean you had to do a lot of terraforming.
cave biomes were added in 1.17, i believe that's what he meant. In his description of 1.18, he says "in this update is when caves finally started going down to y -64". He should have specified new cave "biomes" instead, even thought that still is classified as generation
@@TheLucas0828 I still think he was confused, 1.17 included the majority of the new blocks like amethyst and the moss family, but no biomes were added. Geodes formed, were commonly spotted in the ocean due to lack of space underground, and the moss family of blocks could only be bonemealed after you found some in a shipwreck or mineshaft. Axolotls were added too…(There was a bug that they spawned in the end dimension if water was present, it was hilarious) Basically 1.17 added 70% of any features that didn’t involve terrain generation in the sm caves and cliffs update. Part 1 introduced most mechanics, part 2 gave the terrain generation
I think that in 1.20 armor trims are definitly best feature. They added a new level of exitment for exploring all of old and new structures + they just look cool af
A little correction, u can get shulker boxes in survival without killing the enderdragon, but it will consume a lot of lifetime 😅 because you'll buildig a very very long bridge to the nearest island from the end center
@@Xenorvya Thats true. I just wanted to mention it is possible. Its not about making sense. I did because i was on a 2 player Server and we wanted together fight the ender dragon. I had more time to play at this time as my colleg so i build a veeeerrrryyyy long bridge. Useless but fun :-).
As someone who played since before Minecraft had its name, I can say with assurance that out of everything, the most memorable update for me was the 1.5 hopper. Many survival servers had just basic protection of doors and chests, disallowing certain building radiuses to be destroyed by anyone who wasn't the host. But one KEY feature went so overlooked when the hopper dropped. every single chest that was locked for me, could have a hopper placed under it and drained entirely. I went to every single server I frequented as a kid, and drained EVERYONE of their resources that I could find. All the way till I drained an admin on my main server, while he was online. So many good memories, and being the richest person on one of the biggest servers at the time, was phenomenal.
I know it's been extended even more since then, but 1.2 upping the height limit was so so so so good at the time, it felt amazing to finally build that large
3:48 Wither is also created with blocks My favourite parts: 1.0: The end 1.1: Superflat 1.2: Iron golems 1.3: Temples & trading 1.4: Wither 1.5: All redstone components 1.6: Name tags 1.7: Dark oak 1.8: Ocean monuments 1.9: New combat 1.10: Magma blocks 1.11: Shulker boxes 1.12: Concrete 1.13: Trident & shipwrecks 1.14: Raids & crossbows 1.15: Honey blocks 1.16: Pigstep 1.17: Goats 1.18: Depth and height 1.19: Chest boats 1.20: Jukebox updates and chiseled bookshelves
@@ImNotMrNooby Ye, I copied his opinion & definitely don't just have a similar opinion, consider we are talking about the exact same thing. Hey bro, you copied me by existing. One more thing, I can assure you I didn't even watch the full video until now because you got me intrigued... Good job, my guy.
My favorite feature from 1.13 is probably the turtle shell. It's an item that requires animal interaction that's deeper than killing it. The shell itself appeals to both early players with the water breathing, and late players with the turtle master potion. It's very versatile, but it's sadly overlooked.
As someone that works with a lot of the cosmetic side of minecraft, the Texture update in 1.14 has to be my favorite. Raids are great and provide a lot of opportunity and fun features, but as I work primarily in creative, it doesn't stand out as much to me.
@@borgnut7243 Wait, how´d you get netherite armor and stuff before? You ONLY needed netherite ingots? No Netherite Blueprint? (I´ve been playing Minecraft for some years, BUT, I literally NEVER got netherite armor due to me not caring about it I guess, that´s why I don´t know how you got netherite stuff before).
I can’t believe you said honey blocks aren’t too significant 😂 they change red stone forever edit: just to clarify I respect everyone’s opinion I just found it hilarious that a video about what features have the most impact managed to absolutely side line the most impactful feature in the update with a minor golem mechanic 😂 of course there were a few other features that he chose that I didn’t agree with but that was just because he would talk about how later updates would give the highlighted feature more use rather than focusing on the original feature in the initial update, however it’s just a minor gripe and I’m sure would’ve taken a lot more time to research and fact check to make the video.
@@HotPocketsDryerLint👁️👄👁️ actually I personally wish the team made more small updates so it would feel like Minecraft was ever so slightly changing from every few months or so😂
These videos make me feel so old. I mean it felt like a year ago when I first started playing Minecraft myself in Beta 1.5. Back then a classmate sent me the exe and we just played for hours and days nonstop next to each other. Then when they added LAN mode in 1.3 it was the best thing. My Brother and I played SO MUCH together. It was incredible. And here we are. 12 years after I first touched Minecraft myself and 13 years after I saw my first Minecraft lets play.
I am 31 and played waaay back in the day. Getting all these updates at once has been SO fun. I can only play when my kids are asleep but it’s fun escapism still.
I know many people hated 1.9, but honestly I love the updates it brought to combat. Now I don’t play PVP games (nor do I play Hypixel at all) but I think 1.9 was one of the best updates ever. The shields, critical hits, AOE damage, I find all of these useful.
My diff opinions...is right here! ↓ 1.8 Ocean Monuments 1.10 Ice Spikes Biom 1.12 Blocks 1.13 Coral Biome 1.14 Villager blocks for jobs 1.15 "Bugs and Bees Update" - optimalization definitely 1.16 Biomes 1.18 Removed high-limit for datapacks and mods and larger high-limit (-64-320... +128), but New Generation is rly great too. BTW they split it bcs is much easier add new things then adjust old things.
I remember playing Minecraft when I was like 6 and it just had one type of wood, one bed colour, and when you made a world in creative and put stuff in your chest, it would disappear in survival…it really changed a lot
1.17 added all the new blocks as trades from the Wandering Trader, in chests, and some patches of tuff, glow lichen, amethyst, and dripstone would spawn in the world. 1.18 changed the world gen
The bees polinating crops and the honey blocks functions in contraptions makes it a very good update imo. But outside of the farming benefits the honey block stuff is failry niche but powerful As a person who builds very aesthetically, can't remember which update. Could have been 1.16, adding having regular chest next to regular chests was a game changer. More compact storage and not having to have a block gap was nice.
What he said: 1.0) The End 1.1) Bow Enchantments 1.2) Iron Golems 1.3) Trading 1.4) Beacons 1.5) Hopper 1.6) Name Tag 1.7) Roofed Forests 1.8) Role of Lapis in Enchanting 1.9) Elytras 1.10) Endermen Spawning in the Nether 1.11) Shulker Boxes 1.12) Parrots 1.13) Phantoms and Shipwrecks 1.14) Raids 1.15) Iron Golems Displaying Health (cracks) 1.16) Pigstep Disc 1.17) New Cave Generation(?) 1.18) Jagged Peaks 1.19) Ancient Cities 1.20) Cherry Blossoms
1.14 introduced the recipe book. It was the first version I played, and I was always worried about having to look up how to craft everything, so having the recipe book was a pleasant surprise. And even if you already know the recipes, it's still a great addition because it saves time by not having to place each item
Beacons are great and all but I'm surprised they were chosen over command blocks, which were also introduced in 1.4. Command blocks were revolutionary for mapmaking and huge for the game in general. Also, for 1.13, arguably a bigger feature for the game overall would be either the new swimming mechanics or bubble columns.
For the Name tags, there is also another thing where if you were to name like a rare zombie creature or something in the game, The name tag prevents it from de-spawning, which is also a cool thing.
Honestly the Sculk in general is one of the coolest additions in recent updates. The Warden, Ancient Cities, all of it is just so fantastical and mysterious. Its very unique and pretty much completely original to Minecraft, and its mystery elements are very good at inspiring creativity.
I genuinely don't understand why people don't like the 1.9 combat update's Attack Delay. That mechanic is just SO much more interesting than just mindless spamming of left click! The fact that a stone axe does as much damage as a diamond sword doesn't even bother me since the delay is so damn long! Swords STILL have an advantage at the same material level, and shields only make that nuance deeper. I love the combat update, no exceptions
This should give you a general idea of why people love 1.8 combat, if you actually want to understand the other sides point of view. this is not meant to start an argument, i play 1.19 for all my SMPs, and 1.8.9 for chill fun pvp. People primarily don't like the attack delay because it made multiplayer pvp gamemodes less fun. The appeal of 1.8 combat was that it was simple enough that anyone could pick it up quickly, but skilled players could still decimate their opponents. part of the magic was that you could get on with friends of varying skill levels and all have fun. as long as a new player could sprint towards a target and click, they could deal damage and contribute to a team effort, and let the more skilled player take on 2 opponents, with one already weakened. With current combat mechanics, a new player will be unable to deal damage to an opponent that is more skilled, if they simply have a shield. And now the only way for a skilled player to win against 2 players with basic game knowledge is for the skilled player to run away, occasionally trying to surprise their opponents by turning around and landing a single hit, which is needless to say, not very fun to play against. This made 1.8 combat more fun in team minigames, because you could play with anyone who owned the game, and still be competent. This is why there are few popular 1.9+ minigame servers in java edition (bedrock edition has no hit delay, and has many large popular minigame servers). Mojang made 1.9 combat for survival worlds, and fighting mobs. and it does that much better than anything else we have seen. And this explains the rise of many large public SMPs (lifesteal). also, both versions have respectable 1v1 pvp servers. Also, a major difference is the playstyle that each version promotes. 1.8 combat was much faster paced, because if your opponent misses a swing, you only have a fraction of a second until they can attack again, which means you have to constantly be on your toes, never letting your guard down. In contrast, in 1.9 combat, if your oppenent misses a swing, you know you have a 0.625-1 second pause in combat, which makes the combat much slower paced. Also, with the addition of shields, a player can stand still and not take damage, allowing for a much slower playstyle. In 1.8, if you stand still, you WILL die. the combat was just much faster paced. Additionally, 1.8 combat was not just spam click based. it was very much movement based. a player clicking 2 cps can do the same damage as a player clicking 20, if they have good movement. 1.8 skill was based much more on how you moved, and how you gave knockback. To be successful, you needed to actively strafe and sprint reset, and know when to jump crit safely when they wont hit you, move backwards to dodge their hits, or use a rod/egg/bow to neutralize the opponents momentum and gain the initiative. The timing in 1.8 combat was much more fluid and dynamic over the course of a fight. In contrast, 1.9 combat is much more based on a rigid timing, and watching for gaps in your opponents defense. both require immense amounts of skill to master, but 1.8 combat is much more fluid and fast paced. Overall, people liked 1.8 combat because it was more fun in a multiplayer minigame scenario, much faster paced, and easy to learn but difficult to master. And that is why i play newer versions for SMPs, but whenever i want to play with my friends and have fun, i hop on hypixel. now PERSONALLY i just think it should be a gamerule to toggle between. /gamerule doAttackCooldown (why can't we just have this mojang?!!!)
@@sabenator2770 Never considered that actually! I would tend to disagree on the "Easy to pick up" part of it, but eh, it doesn't truly matter The gamerule idea is such a good one hh
For someone who doesn't like 1.8 PVP, they would say it's just mindless spam clicking. And for people who don't like the 1.9 combat system, they would just say that it's just slow and boring. But even though I like the 1.9+ combat system more, here is my unbiased POV and I'll list both the PROs and CONs of both. 1.8 PVP - Pros - It's fast paced - You can block - It's simpler 1.8 PVP CONs - It's less open to casuals - If you're not a fast enough clicker then you won't do as well - You can't hold items in your other hand 1.9 PROs - Cooldown makes hits more satisfying - It makes PVE actually fun - You can hold things like food and buckets in your off hand 1.9 CONs - Tipped arrows are stupid - Shields can be seen as OP due to them deflecting all damage (I'll finish this later, I have to reboot my pc)
on my ps3, the newest update i currently have is 1.13. its very nostalgic to see when i started playing and what changes i missed when i was younger and didnt understand quite much about "updates" or gaming in general
I remember playing since before 1.5. Don't remember when exactly but I know it was before the horses were added. It was really fun experiencing each of the updates as they came out. My most memorable experience being when Endermen were added. I remember being so terrified of them XD
1.16 Nether Update was my favorite. My second favorite is 1.18 Caves and Cliffs as its the generation update i wanted. So far, 1.20 Trails and Tales seems to make my top 3.
I agree with all of them except 1.13 1.14 1.16. While shipwrecks were amazing 1.13 also added one of the best features ever swimming. For 1.14 I feel like you completely overlooked this part and that’s… the much needed texture update which polished and gave all the textures a fresh new look. Which is my second favourite update right behind 1.16. And while pigstep is the best music disc to ever touch minecraft it’s more of a meme then an actual helpful thing which is why I give this to piglins making Minecraft way more lively in the nether with their human like actions and there “amazing” trades. Great video keep up the good work!
With Minecraft 1.15, you missed the best thing about it which changed the game. Honey Blocks. They act like slime blocks but they don't stick to slime blocks making them super useful for massive piston doors, flying machines (that can be used for farming in some cases) and way more!
11:43 that feature makes sense because if you think about endermen being able to teleport, they can decide to teleport to another dimension without any changes added to their ability

FAQ:
Q: Weren't the new caves added in 1.18, not 1.17?
A: Yeah, ima be honest, I kinda fumbled on that one, instead of "Best of 1.17 and 1.18", it was more like "Best of Caves" and "Best of Cliffs". The snapshots in between the two updates made it hard to determine which addition belonged to which update.
Q: What factors are being considered to choose the best "thing"?

hi omicron I kinda wanna see you play valorant
btw didn't 1.7 add command blocks? they created a whole new community to minecraft like redstone did

Not only that, but it made the game playable again in multiplayer and modded. Servers struggled to run 1.13 and 1.14, and even when forge caught up to it, there were hardly any mods made between 1.12 and 1.15 because the lag was unbearable.
1.15 wasn't meant to be a content update, it was meant to make up for mojang rewriting the game for better performance.
@@destructivforce2894 servers still struggle on anything beyond 1.12 alot of servers are stuck on that update
The new cave generation wasn't added in 1.17, it was added in 1.18. 1.17 just introduced the items and the mobs.
Yeah
yea i think he didn't know the difference
1.17 was like a malformed cookie. Sure the basics are there, but it's definitely not good.
1.18 was like a cookie made with the purest grandma essence ever. It's leaps and bounds better, despite having lots of the same things, just that it's higher quality
@@zcarp8642Thank you. Not enough people realize this common sense. 1.17 was one of the worst updates and people treat it like it was one of the best because technically it added a lot when it really didn’t lol
@@jasonsenter1646As a builder I love 1.17, because you are able to use all 1.18 blocks (obv not talking about later versions) without -64 world boarder and specific deepslate levels, so it’s much easier to strip mine and find diamonds. Also, because deepslate isn’t instamined with haste 2, mining in post 1.18 is just unpleasant
I feel like armor stands shoulda definitely won 1.8 because of how much they did for people who worked with command blocks and custom maps.
Also honey was definitely underrated because since they act like slime blocks that don’t stick to other slime blocks it was huge for anyone who likes redstone.

The best thing about 1.3 will always be the "Open to LAN" button to me. Playing in the same virtual space as my siblings from different computers was once a rare commodity!
Facts
I have a theory. The Nether wasn’t always a fiery hellscape. It was like lush caves. But then the piglins found Pigstep. When they played it, it was so fire, it turned the dimension into hell.
I hate the nether! It's a very bad dimension!
Aether and Heaven are better!
It's dangerous and has lots of cheating mobs.(even though zombified piglins, piglins and blazes are the only ones that cheats)
But I'm not a noob. I'm a pro.
We also so annoyed when sometimes the portal spawned us in random parts of the Overworld when we exit. @@ArcticFox-s1z
@@kate_isawesome1207 this guy hates summer too
I always hate the nether!
Reasons:
Too dangerous, has the cheating mobs that I really hate(zombified piglins), can't place waters, easy to lost the nether portal,(until uses a lodestone), nether portal spawn us in a different parts of the Overworld after exit the nether, it's hard to strip mine because of the stupid lavas underground and snow golems can't survive there.(even though they can hurt blazes)
@@kate_isawesome1207 most of those things are avoidable if you know the game.
honestly, 1.11 was a very tricky choice to make because it implemented two very useful features: shulker boxes (mentioned in the video) and rocket boosting, a much easier was of using the elytra to travel long distances instead of punch bow.
totem of ununalive
Not to mention Totem of undying.
I still think using punch 2 bows for elytra boosting is way cooler and should’ve been kept
@@vegegrey1709 is it not still in the game? Anyways it is isn't that good, having to hurt yourself to fly comfortably seems kinda backward
@@djChris_ if you had projectile protection on one of your armour pieces you only take half a heart and it requierd much more skill
Personally, my favorite feature of 1.12 is items in the crafting grid going directly to your inventory when you close the crafting interface.
Remember when you broke someone's crafting table and stole all their items? good times lmfao
I dont like this feature lol
Whoever thought of that feature deserves a raise.
My favorite part of 1.18 was The Increase of the height of the world from height limit being from Y 256 to Y 319 and minimal height being from Y0 to Y -64
I think that they should have changed the world height just from y 0 to -128 and make the y 0 a sea level

As an honorable mention for Release 1.3 (1.3.1 in specific), it added the creative menu we all know and love today, with life saving categories instead of the jumbled mess of 1.2 and prior. Still remember spending ages trying to find a block instead of just searching it or looking it in a category of blocks.
it was in 1.3.1 because 1.3.0 was a prerelease version with only bugfixes
4:03 I love the barely noticeable detail of the no longer alive snow golem. You just carry on talking and it’s hilarious.
And there is just one in the background roaming around
something that not a lot of people remember is the fact that originally, you could not attack AT ALL during the attack cooldown for 1.9, but this was changed almost immediately because people hated it so much
Like goat horns cooldown
i remember i refused to play 1.9 when it came out for that reason
from what I remember in 1.9 coming out was that my friend and I would laugh our ass off from just switching from a sword to an axe or pickaxe. due to the slow movements of the other tools (from the attack cooldown) we found it difficult to contain out laughter, and it was the funniest shit in minecraft for several days@@hiddlestunned
I think I started playing Minecraft since a little before the 1.12 update, and when 1.12 came, the ability to have beds that were not red was an amazing discovery to me
S
I have no idea what update I joined(somewhere around 1.10) but same. Also panes blew my mind
10:44 Also before this update enchantments cost 30 LEVELS instead of 3 levels and 3 lapis. Definitely a great change.
Those were the days...
and before that it cost 50 levels for a short time, and you had to sort through so many times for the random chance a level 50 showed up
Extra info on things you mentioned that I expected to be mentioned:
You can use iron golems for automatic iron
You can use haste 2 from beacons to instant mine stone
You can use a nametag on an endermite to prevent it from despawning, making enderman farms possible
I'd argue honey blocks were definitely the best feature of 1.15 since it revolutionized slimestone
Also, the main reason why 1.15 appears to be so lackluster was the amount of fixed bugs, performance improvements, and Bedrock parity changes
Exactly what I’m sayin
Man no way he chose the golem cracks over the honey blocks
I have a enderman farm without nametags lol
wasn't the new cave generation delayed until 1.18? the 1.17 actually added only new blocks, no worldgen included
^
Yeah, ima be honest I kinda botched the difference between 1.17 and 1.18, it was kind of confusing with all the snapshots before 1.18 that were "technically" 1.17, I eventually just did one of "caves" and one of "cliffs" lol
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think they added new variations of caves into 1.17, and then revamped the entire world generation for 1.18
@@Rashaexe they only added the new cave gen in 1.18
@@mien1216 Technically speaking, the new cave gen *was* added in 1.17. It was just moved to a datapack halfway through the snapshot cycle. If you enabled the datapack when creating a 1.17 world, you could get a WIP version of the new caves.
Hi Omicron! I noticed that you really seemed to hate 1.15, but imo, it was a neccesary update because of the PERFORMANCE issues. 1.13 is infamous of being laggy on low-end devices without Optifine, and not only did 1.15 fix that, it also fixed several bugs, like the Alt+F4 dupe. This is something that only a little part of the community knows about, and I hope you change your view on The Buzzy Bees update.

I don't even know in which update it was introduced but the recipe / crafting book is a godsend even for us veteran players. With the rapidly growing number of recipes you have to memorize and some tedious stuff you have to craft a lot of its a great way to safe you some time and braincells lmao, It's also really helpful for all the new players. I even love how you can only see the recipes you unlocked and not all of them immediately when you create a new world, which could spoil the fun and also overwhelm the player

@@yisyis book and quills exist
Well, no.
It was 1.12
I remember when I t came out too it helped a lot.
I’m probably gonna be the only person on earth who says this, but my favourite addition of 1.12 was Concrete. Having a decorative block that’s purely just the colour (and not extremely off like terracotta) is lowkey invaluable if you enjoy the building side of Minecraft
My favorite 1.20 addition is definitely the raft. Or as some people rather, BamBoat. As boats being some of the most overpowered early game items, having a new variant of it that just looks amazing is awesome.
One of my favorite features/changes in 1.18 are finally having interconnected rivers. for many years If you wanted to connect a lake to the ocean you had to do a lot of terraforming.
The new cave generation was added in 1.18, not 1.17
cave biomes were added in 1.17, i believe that's what he meant. In his description of 1.18, he says "in this update is when caves finally started going down to y -64". He should have specified new cave "biomes" instead, even thought that still is classified as generation
Yes
the generation was around in 1.17, but didn't generate naturally until 1.18
@@TheLucas0828 the BLOCKS were added. Not the biomes
@@TheLucas0828 I still think he was confused, 1.17 included the majority of the new blocks like amethyst and the moss family, but no biomes were added. Geodes formed, were commonly spotted in the ocean due to lack of space underground, and the moss family of blocks could only be bonemealed after you found some in a shipwreck or mineshaft. Axolotls were added too…(There was a bug that they spawned in the end dimension if water was present, it was hilarious)
Basically 1.17 added 70% of any features that didn’t involve terrain generation in the sm caves and cliffs update. Part 1 introduced most mechanics, part 2 gave the terrain generation
1.15 was actually decentlly usefull due to honeyblocks slimeblock properties while not sticking to it allowing for more redstone versitillity

just came back to minecraft this week after not playing for over ten years so ive been trying to find a video like this for days man thanks
I think that in 1.20 armor trims are definitly best feature. They added a new level of exitment for exploring all of old and new structures + they just look cool af
A little correction, u can get shulker boxes in survival without killing the enderdragon, but it will consume a lot of lifetime 😅 because you'll buildig a very very long bridge to the nearest island from the end center
If you can get to the end, killing the enderdragon shouldn't be too much of a hustle anyways
You can't leave the end without killing the dragon/dieing. So why would you bother?
You can actually put all your stuff in a Enderchest and then die blank. But yeah you lose life and levels but save the rest
@@MrEldir The Enderdragon could push you off the ledge, not killing him would be a dumb thing to do I think.
@@Xenorvya Thats true. I just wanted to mention it is possible. Its not about making sense. I did because i was on a 2 player Server and we wanted together fight the ender dragon. I had more time to play at this time as my colleg so i build a veeeerrrryyyy long bridge. Useless but fun :-).
For the 1.14 update, you forgot to talk about the aftermath of the Raid : the ‘hero of the village’ effect and raid farms
And totems of undying!
I personally think for 1.16, I would DEFFINETLY choose Netherite because it still had been years since the last mineral added
I would probably either choose the new biomes or bastions. I think bastions are one of the coolest structures
Rip Copper
I would choose the habitability of nether. There is wood, there is food. 2 things needed to survive. Now we can do “Getting out of nether” challenges
2:32 sheep: boing boing boing
As someone who played since before Minecraft had its name, I can say with assurance that out of everything, the most memorable update for me was the 1.5 hopper. Many survival servers had just basic protection of doors and chests, disallowing certain building radiuses to be destroyed by anyone who wasn't the host. But one KEY feature went so overlooked when the hopper dropped. every single chest that was locked for me, could have a hopper placed under it and drained entirely. I went to every single server I frequented as a kid, and drained EVERYONE of their resources that I could find. All the way till I drained an admin on my main server, while he was online. So many good memories, and being the richest person on one of the biggest servers at the time, was phenomenal.
Hoppers are pretty handy!
13:56 Fast swimming was HUGE in 1.13 and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT

“1 of 2 mobs that are spawned using blocks”
The wither: am I a joke to you?
are you dumb
Terracotta in 1.12 has very important use in conveyors and flying machines, because it’s not glued to slime or honey block
My favorite feature from 1.13 is probably the turtle shell. It's an item that requires animal interaction that's deeper than killing it. The shell itself appeals to both early players with the water breathing, and late players with the turtle master potion. It's very versatile, but it's sadly overlooked.
For 1.15 you forgot one thing: It fix lots of bugs and made the game way more stable, which was the biggest way it chagned the gmae
As someone that works with a lot of the cosmetic side of minecraft, the Texture update in 1.14 has to be my favorite. Raids are great and provide a lot of opportunity and fun features, but as I work primarily in creative, it doesn't stand out as much to me.

8:15 That personal touch.....
1.17 added all the new blocks as trades from the Wandering Trader, in chests, and some patches of tuff, glow lichen, amethyst, and dripstone would spawn in the world. 1.18 changed the world gen
i would like to argue that the honey block was actually pretty big, at least to people who do redstone. it opened up so many possibilities!
The bees polinating crops and the honey blocks functions in contraptions makes it a very good update imo. But outside of the farming benefits the honey block stuff is failry niche but powerful
As a person who builds very aesthetically, can't remember which update. Could have been 1.16, adding having regular chest next to regular chests was a game changer. More compact storage and not having to have a block gap was nice.

1.14 introduced the recipe book. It was the first version I played, and I was always worried about having to look up how to craft everything, so having the recipe book was a pleasant surprise. And even if you already know the recipes, it's still a great addition because it saves time by not having to place each item
17:29 probably one of the most stupidest sentences I've ever heard lmao
I like this style of content, much more laid back and chill :]
Beacons are great and all but I'm surprised they were chosen over command blocks, which were also introduced in 1.4. Command blocks were revolutionary for mapmaking and huge for the game in general.
Also, for 1.13, arguably a bigger feature for the game overall would be either the new swimming mechanics or bubble columns.
For the Name tags, there is also another thing where if you were to name like a rare zombie creature or something in the game, The name tag prevents it from de-spawning, which is also a cool thing.
Honestly the Sculk in general is one of the coolest additions in recent updates. The Warden, Ancient Cities, all of it is just so fantastical and mysterious. Its very unique and pretty much completely original to Minecraft, and its mystery elements are very good at inspiring creativity.
12:11 what happen to the sheep😂😂😂
I genuinely don't understand why people don't like the 1.9 combat update's Attack Delay. That mechanic is just SO much more interesting than just mindless spamming of left click! The fact that a stone axe does as much damage as a diamond sword doesn't even bother me since the delay is so damn long! Swords STILL have an advantage at the same material level, and shields only make that nuance deeper. I love the combat update, no exceptions
This should give you a general idea of why people love 1.8 combat, if you actually want to understand the other sides point of view.
this is not meant to start an argument, i play 1.19 for all my SMPs, and 1.8.9 for chill fun pvp.
People primarily don't like the attack delay because it made multiplayer pvp gamemodes less fun.
The appeal of 1.8 combat was that it was simple enough that anyone could pick it up quickly, but skilled players could still decimate their opponents. part of the magic was that you could get on with friends of varying skill levels and all have fun. as long as a new player could sprint towards a target and click, they could deal damage and contribute to a team effort, and let the more skilled player take on 2 opponents, with one already weakened. With current combat mechanics, a new player will be unable to deal damage to an opponent that is more skilled, if they simply have a shield. And now the only way for a skilled player to win against 2 players with basic game knowledge is for the skilled player to run away, occasionally trying to surprise their opponents by turning around and landing a single hit, which is needless to say, not very fun to play against. This made 1.8 combat more fun in team minigames, because you could play with anyone who owned the game, and still be competent.
This is why there are few popular 1.9+ minigame servers in java edition (bedrock edition has no hit delay, and has many large popular minigame servers).
Mojang made 1.9 combat for survival worlds, and fighting mobs. and it does that much better than anything else we have seen. And this explains the rise of many large public SMPs (lifesteal). also, both versions have respectable 1v1 pvp servers.
Also, a major difference is the playstyle that each version promotes. 1.8 combat was much faster paced, because if your opponent misses a swing, you only have a fraction of a second until they can attack again, which means you have to constantly be on your toes, never letting your guard down. In contrast, in 1.9 combat, if your oppenent misses a swing, you know you have a 0.625-1 second pause in combat, which makes the combat much slower paced. Also, with the addition of shields, a player can stand still and not take damage, allowing for a much slower playstyle. In 1.8, if you stand still, you WILL die. the combat was just much faster paced.
Additionally, 1.8 combat was not just spam click based. it was very much movement based. a player clicking 2 cps can do the same damage as a player clicking 20, if they have good movement. 1.8 skill was based much more on how you moved, and how you gave knockback. To be successful, you needed to actively strafe and sprint reset, and know when to jump crit safely when they wont hit you, move backwards to dodge their hits, or use a rod/egg/bow to neutralize the opponents momentum and gain the initiative. The timing in 1.8 combat was much more fluid and dynamic over the course of a fight. In contrast, 1.9 combat is much more based on a rigid timing, and watching for gaps in your opponents defense. both require immense amounts of skill to master, but 1.8 combat is much more fluid and fast paced.
Overall, people liked 1.8 combat because it was more fun in a multiplayer minigame scenario, much faster paced, and easy to learn but difficult to master.
And that is why i play newer versions for SMPs, but whenever i want to play with my friends and have fun, i hop on hypixel.
now PERSONALLY i just think it should be a gamerule to toggle between. /gamerule doAttackCooldown (why can't we just have this mojang?!!!)
@@sabenator2770 Never considered that actually! I would tend to disagree on the "Easy to pick up" part of it, but eh, it doesn't truly matter
The gamerule idea is such a good one hh
For someone who doesn't like 1.8 PVP, they would say it's just mindless spam clicking. And for people who don't like the 1.9 combat system, they would just say that it's just slow and boring. But even though I like the 1.9+ combat system more, here is my unbiased POV and I'll list both the PROs and CONs of both.
1.8 PVP - Pros
- It's fast paced
- You can block
- It's simpler
1.8 PVP CONs
- It's less open to casuals
- If you're not a fast enough clicker then you won't do as well
- You can't hold items in your other hand
1.9 PROs
- Cooldown makes hits more satisfying
- It makes PVE actually fun
- You can hold things like food and buckets in your off hand
1.9 CONs
- Tipped arrows are stupid
- Shields can be seen as OP due to them deflecting all damage
(I'll finish this later, I have to reboot my pc)
“Because GODDAMN that looks gorgeous” 21:17
It’s REAL beauty 🌸
A lot of these shocked me how late in development these updates came out. i thought trading with villagers and colored beds were a thing before 1.0
I really underestimated when I actually joined Minecraft. It was around the very beginning, probably 1.3 or 1.4, which makes me feel old.
Duuude same here reading these comments saying they joined after 1.13 makes me feel weird and senile
that's like 2012 not really the very beginning. the game became popular during the alpha and beta versions of 2010-2011
I can really see the effort put into this.
The best part of 1.14 was the texture change :)
Nah, I hate the new textures
great vid, only disagree with 1.15, honey is insane for people that build redstone contraptions
He is not a redstone engineer
17:28 this is the first time I've ever heard of pigstep and this tune in general
on my ps3, the newest update i currently have is 1.13. its very nostalgic to see when i started playing and what changes i missed when i was younger and didnt understand quite much about "updates" or gaming in general
I remember playing since before 1.5. Don't remember when exactly but I know it was before the horses were added. It was really fun experiencing each of the updates as they came out. My most memorable experience being when Endermen were added. I remember being so terrified of them XD
Yep, I started playing in 1.4.7 and the amount of progress Minecraft has made since then is insane.
I started playing since around 1.4.2, since I remember there being withers and stuff, but no nether quartz or horses.
1.15 came not only with honey and honey blocks, but Mojang also rewrote the entire lighting system. Good choice of best part tho :)
1.16 Nether Update was my favorite. My second favorite is 1.18 Caves and Cliffs as its the generation update i wanted. So far, 1.20 Trails and Tales seems to make my top 3.
I agree with all of them except 1.13 1.14 1.16. While shipwrecks were amazing 1.13 also added one of the best features ever swimming. For 1.14 I feel like you completely overlooked this part and that’s… the much needed texture update which polished and gave all the textures a fresh new look. Which is my second favourite update right behind 1.16. And while pigstep is the best music disc to ever touch minecraft it’s more of a meme then an actual helpful thing which is why I give this to piglins making Minecraft way more lively in the nether with their human like actions and there “amazing” trades. Great video keep up the good work!
In 1.16 there’s one feature that rivals Pigstep as the best feature in that update! They FINALLY updated the Netherrack Texture!
15:30 he forgot to mention the fact that raids can take up to half an hour or more if they spawn in caves
I think that happened one time while I was recording my footage LOL, that would make sense
@@OmicronGaming use the bells
With Minecraft 1.15, you missed the best thing about it which changed the game. Honey Blocks. They act like slime blocks but they don't stick to slime blocks making them super useful for massive piston doors, flying machines (that can be used for farming in some cases) and way more!
9:11 swamps have left the chat
Looking back on some of the older updates and thinking: “damn, I was around when that came out. Everyone was so excited” rlly makes me feel old
11:43 that feature makes sense because if you think about endermen being able to teleport, they can decide to teleport to another dimension without any changes added to their ability
Thing I love about 1.13 is tridents. They did as much damage as diamond swords and you could throw then
they are slower
11:42 I thought that was part of the 1.16 nether update
8:53, spruce looks the best
It’s a opinion
@@TiawaRealspruce looks the best
@@cookiezandcream5434 once agian, it’s a opinion 🤦
I've heard that 1.1 is generally called the "Spawn Egg Update," and 1.3 is the "Trader Update."
