Minecraft 1.21 Will Be A BIG Update…

So Mojang was trending on Twitter yesterday and you might have the question of exactly why did they maybe announce the next big update and although they did talk about 1.21 the actual reason as best I can tell was actually this tweet saying Mojang is segregating blocks now where as you can

See uh they have officially got a colored blocks tab which is separated from the other tabs and that is the entire point it seems there is also a second thing that went viral regarding modders will make stuff like this for a post and then Mojang will hire the

Aether guide to make a poll to see if you want a giraffe or a garden gnome in next year’s update and it does have to be said this is absolutely wild this is the sort of thing you see all the time from modders and although it’s just

Meant to make you question what the heck skung all of these Minecarts it is a seriously impressive amount of stuff added to the game solely as a joke whereas people working full-time have issues working on the game however to give full credit to King B dogs he

Responded to this silly post by saying what would you guys prefer a garden gnome or a giraffe and as you can see the garden gnome is slightly winning this vote even though personally I would have voted for the draft it seems as though the garden gnome is obviously not

Happening it has to be said this is always a joke and I really like a Minecraft developer that can actually joke with the community something that does need to be really delve into right here is the fact that unlike most Minecraft developers King big dogs is not afraid to actively look at criticism

Of Mojang and take it on board and respond to it accordingly and I think that is a really important thing and I do have to say that his response to uh this this really interesting point here which is then explain how a single model can develop a wild update mod in under

Two months without any game breaking bugs and more content than any of your updates ever had and he actually responds by saying before I joined Mojang I was a modder for 10 years on Minecraft I developed the Aether as well as many other mods you know let’s be

Honest bigger than Minecraft updates I have gone into detail about why game development takes longer many times but at this point I hope you trust coming from a modder modding is far easier and one of the points that he basically has raised before is that every feature has

To be developed twice once for Bedrock once for Java everybody just be carefully considered carefully bug fixed and carefully made sure it’s on those platforms there’s just so much over had been working with a big game that’s going to roll out to 100 million people

Versus a mod that may be a thousand or ten thousand people will play it’s a big difference in development that a lot of modders have even backed him up on saying speaking of Minecraft updates though this is q a Saturday and I haven’t got a single question yet so

That one person who does not know what to upload says 1.21 is a hundred percent a big update Mojang is just taking some time and interestingly enough we actually had that confirmed this week I mean most people weren’t doubting it but now you know definitively that 1.21 will

Be a brand new big update just like you thought however there may be other updates like 1.20.1 with additional features similar to how the piglet brute came out after the main never update confirming what has been said about Minecraft in the past which is that they

Tend to plan two or three updates into the future so they can have a good idea as to what’s coming down the line and what might interact well with existing features and so yeah 1.21 is planned as a big update but obviously we’re going to hear about that after 1.20 which is

Of course the important thing and Magma Cube Zone says is 1.20 a lore update it would kind of explain the whole self-expression thing and the whole randomness of what has been announced so far and the Vex texture change getting some law and yeah it honestly does seem

As though Minecraft 1.20 is adding law but I think that’s just a key part of Storytelling people like to tell stories and those stories can be inside the game itself in the form of books or in the form of signs Etc but they can also be in the form of gathering details from

Across the world some of those pieces of detail are really obvious like well I mean a villager literally turns into a zombie villager when he’s bitten by a zombie so all of the zombie villagers you find in the wild are used to be villagers you can assume some of those

Are somewhat obvious by the textures with stuff like the allies and the vexes having very similar textures now and some of those things are left as full Mysteries I mean what’s going on with the deep dark portal what’s going on uh with the abandoned mine shots why are

They abandoned was that what wasn’t there gonna be a dude who was gonna live here and uh you know you could find him and he’d give you stuff where’s he at right now I mean uh Minecraft is a beautiful game for storytelling because it is a true sandbox so the goal is to

Give you as much of your own uh expression tools as you can and uh yeah the kind of from John the pass gas which is says so it isn’t going to be called the community update then this update does seem like it’s very Community focused there’s a lot of quality of life

Features that’s 100 sure but no it’s not going to be called a community update I can give you a 99.99 assurance I’ve heard the bits and Bobs update I’ve heard the bug I’ve had lots of update titles for this but the point is that although they know the theme they’re

Going to come up with a title that neatly packages it together I mean uh the Wild update really wasn’t that Wild by the end if they had named it towards the end they could have called it the modern blood update and managed expectations a lot better so uh yeah

That is one of the big reasons for it however you know I agree with love about Cube supports Ukraine UA who says when are we going to get the operated blocks in the creative inventory on Bedrock because this is one of the biggest irks I have about 1.20 so far uh they are

Doing a pretty good job of adding camels and signs and they’re making them really decently are the same between platforms they have exactly the same features however they are also adding a whole bunch of java exclusives because they’re redoing the creative menu uh that’s right they’re adding new tabs new

Features it’s honestly a lot better than it used to be including brand new blocks that are findable in that creative menu and what’s really really strange to me is the fact that they look at this and they say Yep this is actually a Java only thing that needs to happen because

The Creator menu is different on Java and Bedrock isn’t that the point of parity when you update something you update it on both so that it’s now the same as opposed to being two separate systems and what annoys me most about this because you could argue that like

Well Bedrock needs to have a different creative menu to Java because obviously people are playing on their you know their phones so it needs to be accessible by touch but the Java menu looks so much easier to use by touch than the Bedrock one why don’t they use

This as an opportunity to bring those features from Jabba to bedrock I don’t understand how this is a big update where they’re focusing so heavily on parity and then they miss something as big as that anyway uh yeah if you’re curious by the way the new blocks

They’ve added including by the way Ender Dragon spawners uh make people like MJ uh plays uh blockett what does that name mean by the way anyway they say wait you can make Ender Dragon spawners then and you know let me find out yes yes you can

Although it only really works once so is that an ender dragon spawner or is that just a spawn egg with extra steps you tell me but yeah the Ender Dragon likes to destroy things that aren’t n stone obsidian and Bedrock now you know speaking of things that you now know

Um the next one here is a Vitali who says Hey toy cat have you considered rounding up a bunch of friends and starting a new SMP Let’s Play here’s the deal I’m not a big SMP guy and the reason why I’m not because a lot of

People love when you take two things you like and combine them together that’s why we have Oreo milkshakes or whatever those weird BTS chicken nugget meals were people love to see two things that they really like combined together and so people like games and they like being

Social and what is better than both those things individually being social while playing games but personally uh that is not my attitude towards games I like games as a retreat from the social World sometimes I’ll listen to a podcast but I’m certainly not speaking back at

The podcast that’s not what I enjoy uh and so yeah the idea of doing that isn’t actively fun to me it sounds like a lot of work like you know I guess you could make some new friends doing a SMP uh Minecraft thing but yeah that sounds

That just sounds like a terrible idea on this channel I really like to focus on the solo Minecraft experience a lot of people get really distracted by like oh funny moments of friends and that that is really great for those people and some people clearly enjoy it but it’s

Just not what I do this is a channel about people who like to play Survival maybe sometimes Switz limits but mostly having a fun time doing a game by yourself and maybe some ideas along the way speaking of ideas along the way mtaco 68 says don’t you think by making

Your own ideal super flat you’ve generated money for Mojang therefore reinforcing the idea of Mojang never adding features when their Community could do it and make money for them and this is actually a little bit of an ethical dilemma I mean if you look at the Java edition with no Marketplace

They have all sorts of world customization options and game rules that just don’t exist on the Bedrock Edition because if you want those things I guess you could pay for them instead and uh yeah therefore by making a better super flat why would Mojang add that thing themselves because now they’re

Saving themselves time and money and I do actually think this is a big issue of features that are really hotly wanted by the community hardcore for example is a feature everyone wants but right now you have to pay money for because it’s only available via community made Maps I

Think there should be you know maybe some because right now you can’t make a 1.21 map even if you want to you can’t claim to add those features to the game you can give them away for free but you can’t sell them Mojang should have a road map of what they’re planning over

The next couple of years you know obviously we know every year they make a Minecraft update but what about new game mode stuff what about New World Generation stuff um you know all these sorts of weird things should be on some roadmap and then you can’t Market your

Map based on those particular things that would be pretty cool I think for my particular Maps tastes like 99.99999 of sales on the marketplace are things that aren’t my map I mean it’s it’s a very tiny rounding error for them and it also has all sorts of things that

Mojang couldn’t add to the flat world type you know it’s a it’s a custom world with structures with biomes with uh you know like actual trades that you could know you could never make the crafting recipe for an end portal in a normal world so it’s just meant to be the flat

World experience but much better in ways that you couldn’t otherwise add and I think that’s something that every Marketplace map should be aspiring for let’s not just make the thing as it might exist in Minecraft Let’s Make a much more fun experience for a one-time world and I think if more creators did

That we’d have a better Marketplace field of less just it’s hardcore and more what if we could go harder than hardcore What If instead of just adding uh the deep dark dimension you know that’s a thing people want to see uh we added a whole bunch of different dimensions I think every Minecraft

Workplace map should be doing much better and uh by the way in case you’re curious like oh yeah I released a new map this week it’s called Ultra flat survival uh and uh yeah one of the questions questions people have is like wait this costs 660 mine coins could the

Map be free that would be really cool and sadly not actually you cannot release a map on the marketplace and make it free without special Microsoft permission you literally cannot give away your Marketplace map for free one more time to repeat that it is very important only Microsoft can sanction

The giving away of free Marketplace Maps the reasons behind this are interesting because it means there are higher quality standards on free Marketplace Maps than ones that cost money but it’s a little bit of a weird part of the system I guess anyway one more thing

Here is uh from coming in from the turnip and this is a response to the house tour I did a house tour last week if you’re curious as to what my house in the UK looks like and the turnip says man has four toilets in this house are

You preparing for a big family or are you just always throwing parties and it is funny because uh you know a lot of people commented on me having four toilets and it does sound like it’s a lot however I’d like to point out one uh that actually Four isn’t so many it’s

One guest uh toilet for when people come around for a party it’s a guest bathroom so that people can shower it’s a bathroom for me personally so I don’t have to share with anyone and then it’s a bathroom for my plumber who actually just moved out by the way but it’s a

Bathroom for the random stranger I have living in my house and uh two I’d like to just point out that actually I didn’t build the house I just bought it and for some reason they configured it with all those toilets it only came with two by default and I guess they assumed they

Could make more money renting rooms out to people with the extra bathrooms so that’s the official reason and now you know why I have so many bathrooms in my house what you might not know though is I am going to be doing streamless again this year that’s right a stream from

December 1st to December 24th pretty much every single day I’m going to be streaming over here on this channel I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and you can join me for those by subscribing to the channel perhaps of those notifications turned on also tomorrow on

Sunday I’m going to be re-attempting the Minecraft but I’m a gamer Challenge and so I look forward to seeing you there unless I don’t see you there in which case I guess I don’t care because I’ll see you in the next one you bear foreign
