Minecraft 1.20 Can’t Give You What You Want

Minecraft has changed as updates have rolled out over the past year for Minecraft we’re starting to see a change in the way the game is presented to the world updates have been way slower there are less big changes and quite a few of the additions are generally disliked by

The community for example chat reporting there have even been features that were announced But ultimately canceled like the fireflies in the Birch Forest rework and then to add even more confusion and frustration the bundle is around but it’s in just like a limbo state so we

Can’t use it regularly this is so sad I wanted Mojang please just give it to me just let us have it please I’m sure there’s some problems with bedrock Edition with it but please come on I just wanted so why can’t Minecraft just add the features like dude come on just

Like hit the publish feature button you know like like what’s taking them so long like why do they keep adding the things that we don’t want and then why can’t they just give us the things that we do want these are the questions I’ve seen a lot in my comment section and

It’s honestly something that I’ve been thinking about a lot myself over the past year ultimately I’ve come to a few theories as to why I think Minecraft can’t quite do everything that we as players want them to but before we get into those here’s another question I

Still can’t find the answer to why are you specifically not subscribed I mean guys come on I have literally zero subscribers like look at that it must be true it’s posted on the internet don’t don’t scroll down just keep keep your eyes up here on this video whatever you

Saw down there below my name it’s not it’s not real it’s not real to lie from from the internet so if you’re willing to do me a huge favor and check down below to make sure you’re subscribed you might be coming back to my channel regularly but you aren’t actually

Subscribed maybe today is the day you change that anyways the first reason I think Minecraft can’t quite add everything we want them to is simply because they’re owned by a giant Overlord company called Microsoft that causes some problems because if Minecraft does something terrible then Microsoft has also done something

Terrible and Microsoft Burns because of it I guess this means there’s some limits to what Minecraft can actually do but the answer to this problem isn’t quite as simple as leaving Microsoft and doing things themselves regardless of Minecraft being the best-selling game of all time there’s really still some good

Benefits to having Microsoft there by their side namely the resources Microsoft can provide the fun funding that they can invest and especially the security Microsoft of course has a lot of resources ranging anywhere from expertise Hardware to even custom software that might help in development this is huge for the sake of the

Capabilities of the dev team and the longevity of the game itself also regardless of how annoying and difficult it might be to get into the game now after account migration there’s something to be said about the security that comes with having that login at its base level a Microsoft account is much

More secure than a Mojang account but like most things in the corporate world there’s some trade-offs and the biggest one is the integration of systems like chat reporting even though it’s something that could help with moderation for the game most of the player base didn’t like this Edition and

It’s completely understandable it feels a little bit like the big company is like taking over the small company and it’s like trying to control and listen to everything that you’re saying and doing and everything in your life but I honestly don’t think this was a Mojang

Decision in the end I think it was much more because of some external pressure from that big old company that we all know would love now that the Bedrock edition of the game is becoming more and more prominent and starting to run on more platforms including the Xbox and

Windows Microsoft felt the need for more moderation and while Bedrock had some of that from the start Java Edition never really had it even though they’ve been part of Microsoft since 2014. so they compromised and honestly Java edition’s chat reporting as it is today is pretty Bare Bones when it comes to chat

Moderation systems and games for example there’s no automatic bot pulling your messages across the entire game and Minecraft really only looks at chat when a message is directly reported it’s not perfect but it’s also not the worst it could have been big negative changes like these came with a lot of backlash

But Minecraft didn’t go back on their decision these systems are still in place and they will likely still be in place forever and the main reason I think this is the case is because Minecraft isn’t being designed for the players specifically anymore it’s being designed for everyone but what do I mean

By that well I think Minecraft is tuning their approach more towards overall growth rather than appeasing their current or older player base and this is a very viable business strategy for both game development and even for other spaces like YouTube channels I personally like to tune my content towards new viewers instead of

Exclusively appeasing my returning viewers I still want to make content my existing audience will really enjoy but I don’t need to tell them to subscribe I tell these guys to subscribe speaking of which did you check if you’re subscribed okay cool just just just checking all right thanks Microsoft has to have the

Same mindset with Minecraft because Microsoft is a for-profit organization the decisions that they’re making need to be profitable and while that might not be ideal for game development it’s ideal for longevity and that’s the trade-off that Mojang decided to make with this acquisition in 2014. honestly

If I was in that situation I would probably do the same so honestly it makes sense that they need to implement features like this that increase its ability to be advertised which in turn could increase its reach which could lead to more growth it may be unfortunate for us players that may not

Like all these decisions but the reality is they have to make the decisions that hurt them the least Minecraft isn’t being made for you anymore it’s being made for everyone and that comes at the cost of adding anything and everything that we want however regardless of these points and ultimately regardless of who

This game is being made for I think Minecraft is really being built as more of a platform than as a full Standalone game Minecraft has never really been on top of story elements or even on top of any lore that makes a ton of sense to the general player base there’s things

Here and there that tease at a storyline or some lore as demonstrated by Game Theory but there’s never really been a real full plot for Minecraft and I really think that’s completely intentional the developers are leaning into the sandbox elements far more and arguably they’ve turned Minecraft into

More of a creative platform than just a regular game if you look at the marketing for Minecraft you’ll see that a lot of it is tuned towards multiplayer and this is especially true with the Bedrock advertising they’re leading a lot into the cross-platform aspect and everything has multiple players involved

Even the recent changes to the default Minecraft skins are very much tuned towards multiplayer and Community they said themselves that they’re leaning into acceptance and diversity with these new skins yeah we we really care about feeling represented in Minecraft and I think with these skins we did that now

When someone starts the game if they haven’t made a new skin yet to like represent themselves they also can pick one of these and feel like it’s closer to who they are which is so awesome we added new skin to include everybody and like show and represent uh the vast wide

Variety of players that play Minecraft and if that doesn’t shout out multiplayer and appealing to General audiences I don’t know what does it’s not at all a bad thing to encourage this but this definitely isn’t a single player change but building a platform isn’t necessarily just about multiplayer

It’s also about the general Community Building content for the game you can see this a lot in the Minecraft server space modern servers like origin Realms tubnet mcci and others are rising up and pushing the server development space further than ever the places where Minecraft falls short are the places

Where the community fills in and I think that’s exactly what Minecraft wants they’ve always been very encouraging of mod development and Minecraft has one of the most active modding communities in all of game development history so what do all these things mean for us as the main player base of the game well

I think this means that updates in the future won’t be made for us existing core players we may have some cool feature editions here and there like the camels or the bamboo content but really I think Minecraft is looking for more ways to reach out to new players than

Ever before we need to stop looking to Minecraft for new things and we need to start looking for Server developers and mod creators that can do abundantly more than the core developers can simply because of the core games restrictions and ultimate goals developers of mod packs like RL craft or feed the beast

Content and server developers of places like origin Realms tubnet mcci Etc are pushing the boundaries of what Minecraft is capable of and they’re exploring the expansive features that will never come to the base game this is one of the main reasons I love to Showcase cool mods and

Servers on my channel I feel like there’s a ton of community created content that not a lot of people are really able to see this platform of YouTube gives me the ability to shine light on some of those really talented people and I’m super blessed and excited

That I get to be in this spot don’t needless to say thank you for watching you being here listening to these words right now now is the best support you guys can give me links to all the content that I showed off are covered in this video are in the description if
