Minecraft is SKIPPING its Next Update

When is 1.20.20 coming out is a very common question I’ve received on this channel and interestingly the answer is never that’s right Minecraft confirmed that the Bedrock equivalent of 1.20.2 is not going to be coming out because although they have a lot of exciting fixes and features prepared they aren’t

Quite ready to release these to everyone just yet so they’re going to continue with 1.20.30 betas and previews and they’ll do that until they have a combined update that is slightly larger than usual so 1.20.30 is the new update but it will be quite a few weeks from now something which weirdly enough

Galvatron Transformers asked for 11 days ago why would anyone specifically ask for this why does anyone specifically care I don’t know but what you might care about is the Java equivalent 1.20.2 which has gotten significantly more spicy so is that out for Java right now

No is that in snapshot right now yes and will it be going to pre-release next week most likely that’s right there is a brand new update coming out for Java and although it’s making quite a few interesting bug fixes the thing most people have the most care about are the

Changes they’re making to allow you to report people’s skins and names online this is some something which is obviously Mojang responding to liability you might say but actually yamon makes the good point that there’s a strong argument that by taking on the job of policing everyone’s private servers

Microsoft is actually opening itself up to more liability and this is true right now Microsoft can hide behind the online interactions not rated by the ESRB but now between this and the chat reporting they’re policing basically every element of private servers which means that it’s actually their responsibility if

Something bad happens and they don’t act fast enough which is a very interesting point to make but I also think there’s a very valid point that they care about the liability on a legal level but they also might just care about it on a PR

Level which is why siphon says I have a feeling the reason they are making changes like chat reporting is to reduce not legal liability but liability in public opinion there are so many weird moral panics that can break out in parent groups and the 0.1 percent of

Cases where a kid is on a small unmoderated server they don’t own and they see something disturbing or something that their parents don’t like I can easily see that blowing up into a public relations Nightmare and this is a really good point Minecraft does have a big reputation to protect and as we’ve

Seen with the fact that like at one point there is an Isis ad on YouTube and now all of YouTube has to restrict Blended stations uh big companies have to make big changes so that their shareholders are most importantly advertisers and the general public who want to buy it will continue to trust

Them and honestly sometimes that means upsetting your community the community would be upset right now with these new changes where your skin might get banned but you’d be much more upset if Microsoft had to go much further by banning all skins by default unless they were pre-picked by them there is a real

Opportunity that they’ll use this as a cash grab and honestly when you see comments like this from potato of good Doom saying I don’t trust it how far does the definition of not safer work go who decides and this itself is a big problem that we have not just in

Minecraft but in the real world too Whenever there is a law decided it has to be incredibly specific because if you give say the police or lawmakers or judges powers to uh you know go much further than they need to those Powers might then allow for individuals to

Decide not based on is someone being unlawful but do they like what someone’s doing and that shouldn’t be the basis of someone losing their Minecraft account or someone losing access to their Minecraft name and sadly that is a situation we might end up in now ultimately these decisions have decided

Very high up but they’re implemented by employees had nothing to do with the idea and instead of just told make sure no one does anything bad and so when you have people who are much lower on the totem pole who had no say in making the rules themselves who just think yeah my

Job is just to get people out that is when we have issues with policing in the real world and that’s when people have issues with how video games get overzealous or maybe sometimes under zealous about reporting speaking of reporting why the hell would Mojang slash Microsoft even be liable for

Inappropriate content online I feel like at worst they’d be slapped with a gaming experience may change a line uh which I already found on my physical copy of Minecraft better up for the switch why can’t it just stay that way This lends Credence to the idea that it’s much

Worse to have a public relations Scandal than it is to have a legal Scandal I’m sure Microsoft has a very good legal defense which is why for many years now that warning has sufficed and it’s never gone to court and they’ve never lost a large amount of money I imagine the

Lawyers have probably said yeah it’s just okay because bear in mind Microsoft is a trillion dollar company but I imagine at this point they are much more concerned about the pr nightmare this is something you’ll see with very large companies or celebrities or even YouTubers now it doesn’t matter about

The legality of what you’re doing it matters how people feel about it and if people are outraged about something they can do real damage to your business there are YouTubers that can attest to this but there are much more importantly celebrities who will never find work again because of a bad allegation there

Are companies that lose a huge amount of money not because of something bad they necessarily did that’s legally provable but because of something which comes into the court of public opinion that they don’t have a strong enough defense for that is the way that it works sadly

In the world of opinions is it doesn’t matter whether you did something it matters whether people believe that you did something or believe that you could have done something and so having some decent defenses having a look we have a way for people to report it this terrible thing that happened week

Couldn’t have done anything more because nobody reported it is the important thing that every social media site every big company every single person is doing their best to implement a way they can say look I tried my very best what more could you ask for because if you don’t

Try your best that’s the thing that people find hard speaking of trying your best by the way I have a wedding today that I really need to make on time so I have to head all the way to the southwest of England be right back one pair of bands later okay I’ve sailed

And I’ve got to get on the tube to get the train station to get to Devon because you know it’s never easy I’m actually curious how this sounds I know this is meant to be a while yeah I like Devon as a part of the country I think the whole of Southwest

Is uh it’s often almost like the holiday part of the UK but it’s always intriguing to go there once a year Nevermore though anyway so speaking of once a year I never more Mojang that’s something quite interesting this year to celebrate Pride I mean a couple of

Months later but they added these new kicks to the game and some people feel like that is a similar thing to them which is where the interesting lineup for corporations do really comes in right like is it entirely okay to uh you know like have their corporate values be

More important than necessarily those of the individuals playing it and so this comment even says wow yeah why don’t I have a Christian okay you know like to some people the most important thing is this cake maybe some people would like to represent their most important value

Which for many people might be their country might be an estate apparently for this long guy it says religion I think maybe he’s making a facetious point but there is a very valid on as to why this one came in particular and the answer is as a company it makes the most

Sense if you don’t plan something automatic to your game to add the one which is the most positive PR but also it’s all about the people working there people don’t want to work for a company it isn’t inclusive but so being inclusive is some amount about not only

Getting the most value out of your existing employees but also making your own organization look like it’s more friendly for young people who are going to start working that who disproportionately do identify as this but then there’s another layer about black which uh obviously comes into the

Fact that perhaps you continue by the way I feel as for this microphone at all good news I’ve made my train but it’s important to note that one of the biggest losers in this whole debacle is not people of various groups and one of the biggest winners is not those very

Same people but honestly Microsoft wins with the strategy of The devaluing Capes as a whole I’ve said this uh before but having a case for something as important as this means that now they can advocate for something less important next time that very few people can object to I

Mean having a cape to save the animals or something of course you could do that for one and then maybe in a year they could do like a cape to celebrate summer and then maybe a cake that they give away for free uh you know to celebrate a

Summer sale the year after a Christmas sale or something like that and then maybe from there you move into well of course now that we’re giving away capes for free why don’t we have a premium Cape that we only sell and I think that is the end game with capes by slowly

Devaluing them and having people you know make it seem like oh if you don’t like this cape then you must be uh you know hating uh various groups I think that’s the clever thing to do speaking of clothing thing to do um I I do have

To mention that uh while we talk about any of this stuff whether it’s capes or Mojang chat reporting or updates as a whole also ultimately as this person points out none of this will affect you if you just don’t upload to the current version of Minecraft I think that’s

Something clever that the job Edition has is like a backup failsafe in the same way that when people hated combat people stuck in 1.8 forever there are people who still have not upgraded past 1.19 saying yeah we don’t want that Mojang oversight but I think the

Ultimate Reality is this is a very big storm you’ve seen how many angry comments there are I think it will blow over eventually it’s sad that that’s the case but it looks like every time there is a big uproar it’s a very vocal minority is that a good thing I guess it

Depends ultimately on whether you think Mojang should have a right about what you do or don’t say anyway moving into the next comment b1019a says haven’t watched ibx toy cat in years but I remember his old flat world he did the Minecraft news videos on does anyone

Else remember and yes I remember funnily enough this is one of my favorite worlds it’s one of my two long term like 10 plus year old worlds I have a Survivor world most people know and I have this my creative world which I still go on to

Goof off them every now and then oh I mean King’s nimton now but um this is still a world I go on to to Goof Off from time to time and uh honestly it’s got so many years of my building history every time I come here I’m just I get a

Huge uh bout from a blast from the past and so I think I will be going uh if you see some shorts from this world you know why that is just every time I come here I have a extreme interest in it speaking of an extreme interest I have just one

More comment to go into today and that is diamonds 1921 will you be releasing a crime pornography gambling and terrorism string here’s the thing if I just did a chrome terrorism multi gambling stream that wouldn’t be breaching the Minecraft Eli you have to specifically do it in

Minecraft so if you have any great ideas but I was gonna say leave it in the comments down below maybe that’s a bad idea for YouTube um but yeah just in case you’re curious there will be one of those streams coming soon it won’t be monetized and I’ll get sued by Mojang

But I’ll be proving my point about Free Speech damn it speaking of free speech um if you’ve watched this video and would like to pay me for mine uh consider becoming a channel member you can see the news video for the update there never was I prepared a whole

Update video for 1.20.20 uh because you know usually we have to wait for the upload to come out and then when it comes out it’s like a few hours late to get the news out and so to kind of compat that to make it high well see we

Figured we put it all together and then just like you know check the update versus the video and make sure we get it all right um but this this update was the first one in Forever well they just decided not to release it and so yeah if

You want to watch it you can become a channel member also um I’m wearing my today as a Monday show today you might have noticed maybe maybe you can’t under this um but I’m wearing my today’s a Monday shirt and weirdly enough wherever I go this gets the weird comments in

Public so if you want to get one of these ibx2 cat does still totally recommend it speaking of things I totally recommend thank you for watching I recommend not coming to the weird uh Southwest of the country because it’s just so hot stay stay where it’s cold

Damn it anyway speaking of staying where it’s hell I’ll see you next time goodbye Foreign
