Here’s why 1.21 needs to be a perfect update take a look at this graph this is the Google Trend graph for Minecraft Minecraft’s popularity peaked at around 2013 to 2015 and then 1.9 got released in 2016 and then the game died thanks to certain factors micro research in popularity during 2019 but unfortunately Its popularity is starting to dwindle again and this is where we are now history is about to repeat itself how will this update affect the game’s popularity and the player base what’s going to happen if Mojang doesn’t deliver with 1.21 but most importantly how did we get Here it all started on the 23rd of June 2020 Mojang has just released the Neta update quite possibly their best work to date it received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community and everyone loved it but unfortunately it might have also been the worst update they could have possibly made let me explain one Note 16 was good very good A bit too good in fact after 1.6 Mojang had the difficult task of creating an update even better than another update so for w 17 they promised a lot of features they promised Lush KS new KS SC drip stores Wen telescopes copper amethyst lightning Rod bundles archology ex Parton poly Butterfree and this was where everything started to go wrong this was where Mojang got into their first controversy unable to deliver on every feature they’ promised Mojang made the decision to split the cas CS update into two parts citing optimization and game performance Priority for their team’s health and working under a global pandemic as the reasons behind the decision and the community was surprisingly supportive Mojang was sorry we have to split the update into two parts literally everyone understandable have a great day Agnes don’t cry we can wait we love you all Minecraft developers the fact nobody is angry for the delay shows how nice and kind the community can be for the sake of developers does he know with this extended time frame and overing support from the community Mojang released 1.7 and all was well Minecraft was still riding their new wave of popularity all Mojen had to do was try their best to not get into a second controversy Mojang will later get into their second controversy with the arrival of 1.8 citing their need for more time once again features such as the Deep the warden and the ancient city will push back to 1.9 this time however The community wasn’t as accepting I was told by Mojang that there was going to be two parts to caves and cliffs not three people voiced sorry people voiced that disappointment this time around but overall feedback was still mostly positive all Mojang had to do was try Their best to not get into their third controversy moang will later get into their third controversy with the removal of fireflies some players were looking forward to the umia and were disappointed by the remove some players found it questionable that moang remove fireflies instead of changing their interactions like they did with parrots And cookies and some players went even further objection hello as an ecology student in general entomology and herpetology aligned person I would like to say that not adding two pixel fireflies because they’re poisonous to frogs is genuinely baffling to me fireflies do have toxic bitter tasting compounds but the intent of These compounds is to deter predation on the species as a whole rather than kill take that since an animal learn to avoid something like a firefly or brightly colored butterfly as a prey item after attempting to eat one and then getting a mouthful of awful taste so F despite all Of this the community eventually moved on all Mojang had to do was try their best not to get into moang will later get into yet another controversy with the arrival of 1 19 and this was on top of the very controversial chat reporting system which Warr a separate video of Its own Community Support dwindle even further with even more players voicing their disappointment some Players called it the mild update some Players called it Cas CH part three whereas I just called it 1.9 because words are hard moving on to 2023 things have been significantly better Mojang has responded to all the Criticisms made necessary changes and every controversy was put to rest about just kidding it got worse first was update 1.20 which had so much negative feedback it’s only return by 1.9 and 1.10 the sniffer that won a pretty big majority in 2022 is now the second most hater M from a m vote There’s also the account recration the controversial Ula changes and so so many more and finally we have the most recent controversy the 2023 M book this time the drama spread like wildfire on top of the usual drama that comes with a M vote people went even further this time and Started the hashtag to stop the mob vote the mob vote which unfortunately also had potential evidence of V fra I think this puts me at risk of being accused of spending false info one second the mob vote which unfortunately to my knowledge also might have had potential evidence of VO Fraud allegedly and just in case someone actually Su me for defamation you can help me pay for my future legal fees by donating to Super tanks or you can also donate to help support the channel either ways thank you with this entire timeline of controversies broken promises and underwhelming updates the Community is at that Tipping Point on a scale of 0 to 100 in terms of temperature the community is at around 80° right now it’s genuinely uncomfortable how tense and heated things have become for my 31% American audience that’s 176 and 212 all of this is building up 1. 21 to be Minecraft’s Most important update Mojang’s reputation is on the line here with Mojang having their controversies it ends up pushing the player base even further away by making players TR trustom us and if the community heating up tring accusations of Mojang being lazy and all is just going to keep Pushing Mojang even further away one 21 is Mojang’s opportunity to win back the trust of the player base and in return the players will eventually earn back the trust of Mojang once again when there’s less accusations and more helpful feedback this could be Mojang’s last chance to M the rift that has grown Over the years and reforge a less divided Minecraft Community am I overreacting probably but if anything thing I want to be wrong I want Mojang to either release an update so good it saves everything or they release an update that isn’t but nothing bad happens I hope that I’m wrong because I Don’t want this game to die and also given that they tend to release the updates in June having Minecraft die on my birthday sounds pretty damn depressing not going to lie hit the like button to pay respects in the case that that happens one like equals one respect thankfully one 21 Looks really Fu good so far on October 18 Mojang released a snapshot for 1.21 and most of the features they’ve added are pretty cool the crafter is an automatic crafting table which is something people have been wanting since forever we can tell how good it is based On how excited mambo jumbo Sons a crafter you’re looking up my trousers get into my pants level of exciting the copper bul is also really revolutionary for Redstone explaining what it does could make this video like 10 minutes longer so check out scribble video if you’re into Redstone there’s also the Armadillo let’s just hope that we don’t get a repeat of the sniffer there’s also a lot of new decorative blocks being added I’m sure that people much more taled than I am at building can make much better use of them than I can I’m just happy that cor Is getting more recipes like I wanted it to have but the most significant part of this update goes towards the trial Chambers Tri spawner and the breeze overall the update is looking great but it lacks some form of theme like the nether update or the caves and cliffs Update it needs a central theme to tie all these features together and the fact that they earned is kind of reflected in the community’s reaction so far people aren’t excited for the update at the moment which is understandable for now it just feels like seven individual features that are getting added to the Game maybe it could be a dungeon update that could be cool or how much copper and Redstone is involved maybe it could be the Industrial Revolution update but don’t be so optimistic yet even if Mojang announces something really cool later on there are still two obstacles In their way that can make all the efforts pointless the first one is something familiar and it should give you an indicator of how much wor things have gotten and how much is at stake here a split now not just a splitting of an update any feature that they announce Needs to be added to the game after what happened with caves and cliffs people won’t be so understandable of Mojang having a nice day anymore if Mojang ever announces a split or delay of features again because they’re prioritizing the team’s Health the community will say no why I want work Hard exactly I think even they are aware of it and have been playing the cards extra carefully in this year’s Minecraft life but the thing is everything we’ve discussed in this video won’t even matter if they do not fix this second problem the other thing that might ruin The update and kill off any momentum they have is the controversial villager rebalancing check out this video where I discuss the villag reell in its entirety if they shap out these experimental changes in their current state it will be so catastrophic that no amount of new features in 1.21 will ever fix the Update and I hope it doesn’t come to that huge thanks to this week’s
