@CallMeCarsonYT ok

1.20 has been exciting to work on, but my favourite part of development at the moment are the little tweaks that we release earlier in minor releases (like 1.19.4). This is a new approach for us and I think it's fun to get small design changes like armor swapping in-hand earlier

Usually these changes would be delegated to a major release like 1.20. It's nice to be able to get more quality of life changes in-between major releases. And all the technical additions and bug fixes that have come into 1.19.3/1.19.4 have been amazing for the community.

@mg122c I am working on 1.20 every day. Armor trims are still being worked on for Bedrock, and other things in the works :)

@Patrik30798929 @_MINECRAFT_LIVE I mean the intention is eventually the gameplay of both editions will be exactly the same. That's a slow process, but there should be nothing "special" about either edition in terms of pure vanilla gameplay experience.

imo "this new feature in Minecraft looks like a mod" pretty much means nothing at this point It's become more common feedback in recent years but I don't remember anyone saying it when the Ender Dragon came out, which to me is the most modded-looking feature in the game

Everything looks modded until it's a part of the game. Pistons and horses were inherently mods - no one things of them as "looking modded" anymore.

Honestly I kinda remember a point in the game's development where the community was actively excited about Mojang adding something which was from a mod. Feels like the sentiment has shifted where "looking modded" has become a negative thing

@SirBac0nFace You are 100% correct. Of all the models I'd want changed in the game, it is 1000000% the Dragon Egg block.

@itiswattles too far wattles, you're tempting me to add you to the game as a mod

@LizardOfOz_ Would agree if it wasn't feedback on pretty much every feature I've seen released in the past couple of years. It comes to a point where it's like "sure you didn't expect it, but there has been a trend for a while"

also have you seen some of the mods these days? They're straight bangers, and look like they could fit right into vanilla. Of course not all are vanilla-compatible, but many are. Feeling like a mod != bad for vanilla https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1624783162139090946

@camcamburger im afraid MCIA doesn't like fards :(

@fractalcounty No disagreements there, it's something I hope we can improve in the future. I still think, however, that Minecraft's way of empowering quirks of the engine is a good one when done carefully. A whole heap of great game mechanics in the industry started as bugs.

@fractalcounty I love Create, but I do fear that much automation being integrated into vanilla. The mechanics of the game may almost push the player into automating, instead of it being a choice/playstyle Same can be said right now with mob grinders, but at least vanilla doesn't encourage it

@fractalcounty I would definitely agree with that 👍

@GrubiousGigs When you're a game designer for long enough, you realize that nothing is sacred or special - if a design is needed for something and it fits the intended experience, doesn't matter if it's been done before. Everything's been done before. Mods and vanilla inevitably overlap.

Why does Mojang allow this, it's literally an Aether ripoff

So Long, and Thanks for All the Feedback

Should /r/Minecraft continue participating in the protest?

Is it me or does this look like a rubber duck????
