[@Zakibey123]

In my opinion, they should do both but not as much. Nerf the elytra by a bit and buff everything else by a bit until perfectly balanced.

A very important story about horses.. When horses first came out in 1.6 Lots players were obsessed with them. They were faster than Minecarts that was huge for the time. What makes it even better are splash speed potions. In that time period Horses were the fastest way to travel.

[@vanessasandoval96]

Actually I love horses in Minecraft because I love to ride them out horse amour but to be honest what if there will be a nertherite horse armor in the next Minecraft update 1.22

[@RedfeatherYT]

Horses in Bedrock (go figure) can actually be genetically mutated to go faster by breeding with potion effects active (ex. a really fast horse would need to be bred with the parents having the Speed effect) the potion effects also stack, so you can in theory go as fast, stronger, and jump higher as you want to put the effort into.

[@barbaricbacon9139]

While I agree that the Minecraft community is overreacting about travel, I do think the minecart needed a buff. Afk travel isn’t really a good niche when said travel is 5x slower than the elytra so instead of waiting, you could just get there faster and takes a lot longer and a lot more resources to set up. Also, I wouldn’t include mob transportation as a plus for travel as that to me feels like a completely different situation (which I will admit, the minecart does excel in). So while I wouldn’t say Minecraft has a travel problem, I’d say the minecart is flawed in Minecraft’s travel system

One point about the horse I've heard someone talk about was that it's difficult/inconvenient to navigate dense forests since the leaves would block your path.

I forgot the name of the guy who came up with this idea, so just know that I didn't come up with it.

[@c_x_3]

Completely agree with your point about the Elytra at the end, was actually going to leave a comment about it before you mentioned it yourself. Like dude, I went to Hell, fought living fire, fought reject slendermen, crossed half the world by horse or on foot, killed an ENTIRE DRAGON, slowly and precariously bridged across a void of nothingness for potentially thousands of blocks, climbed an entire tower while being bombarded by shots from one of the most annoying enemies in the game, and then even once I’ve got the damn thing I’ve gotta infuse it with magic, beat a magically infused book into it, and then farm copious amounts of sugar cane and kill copious amounts of living bombs before I can even use it effectively, PLUS I’ll need a way to farm xp so I can fix it every once in a while. For all of that work, I’d say outpacing every other method in most areas is plenty alright.

agree that elytra should not be nerfed, but like minecarts needs a major buff. the gap between these two transportation methods in terms of resources/efficiency is insane

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

I'm on the camp that it's definitely unbalanced to some capacity, with the Elytra being pretty overtuned all things considered. But for the others, the new minecart changes look very promising, and I feel like their use in redstone balances themselves out. Ice boats are always nice (lol), and I feel like if the Elytra gets a mild nerf, and horses get a good buff (like the former breeding bug in Bedrock, except moderated), transport could be fully balanced. What we really need though is the addition of the Batmobile.

[@hiimbob1bobby915]

I feel like they should add a new rail type. It would use copper instead of gold, but it would be the same speed as the current powered rail. The gold powered rail would should be buffed to 12b/s or 16b/s. This would make redstoners happy and everyone else. Hopefully

[@felipesignore5572]

Horses need a swiming mechanic, adrenaline rush when encountering mobs, making them 20% faster and 30% stronger. They also need a set base speed of 10 blocks p/s, and 2 blocks jump height. The max being 24 blocks p/s, and 5 blocks height. Enchantment for their armor as well, so they can actually swim faster, jump further(this needs to be a new mechanic, where horses jumps forward, instead of upwards when in movement.) to clear gaps. We also need a better pov when riding horses, its really hard to use a bow when all you can see is their heads.

My only complaint with the Elytra is that because it’s a late game item, every time I play on a server with friends, they all want to rush to The End. That and the fact that if you join later good luck finding a ship that actually still has one. My bigger complaint is the tiny inventory size, seriously, why have they not added any more rows. I know the bundle is supposed to help, but we also just need more space in general. Which is another reason why people rush The End to get shulkers. I just think it’s ridiculous that they’ve maintained the same inventory size while massively increasing the number of unique items.

the times you said "horses are easy early game travel" is higher, than me actually finding saddles, I just farm horses for leather, as I cannot ride them most of the time, and then I reach a point where I have better modes of travel, and horses are useless, so I disagree they are early game, they are late game.

[@FilmBucket]

I think the best argument I've seen against the Elytra is that it tends to lean heavily into over-optimization territory. Why ever build a method of transport when you can fly over everything? Being a sandbox game, people can play how they want, but disincentivizing building has potential to make the worlds of more grindy players feel a lot less special or lived-in and a lot more empty.

[@Yesenn]

Nah, let the player use creative flight. Way more control.

The fact you need to manually switch between the elytra and chestplate is too fundamental a mechanic to change, the whole point is that you're trading safety for better movement. The ominous bottle changing up the dragon fight would be sick though I REALLY like that idea

[@laurwolfxd_3830]

[@axolotl482]

just want to say, we should have trial spawners in end cities and vaults in the ships, so you can get multiple elytras from one ship I think you brought this up before, but it might have been a different youtuber also it could allow infinite shulkers in one city, but it takes thirty minutes for more to come, so infinite shulkers in one city, without them being really really easy to farm

[@axolotl482]

also, to nerf the elytra, they should just make the end harder it's the END, so it should at least be harder than the overworld at night only two really deadly things are shulkers and the dragon, you can hide from endermen with water or a couple blocks I guess the void is deadly, but as long as you don't catapult yourself in, (and avoid endermen using water or blocks above you) you'll be fine

I laughed a lot witch you made a video about nit picking about bundles and literally 3 hours later 'we are releasing bundles' btw nice video!

[@D_Greg_D]

Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker, I tried my best to write my thoughts clear. My opinion why I don't really like the fact that elytra is just better than other transportation methods. Comparing this to wooden pickaxe - netherite pickaxe example there're 2 differences: 1. Wooden pickaxe is used to get netherite pickaxe. You mine stone with a wooden pickaxe, iron with stone pickaxe, etc. So all pickaxes (except for golden) are useful because there're used in a progression. A lot of people don't use anything but sprinting because elytra are not so hard to obtain and horses/minecarts aren't required for them. So many people don't bother making railways or farming the best horse. 2. Horses/minecarts/etc. are a lot more unique. It isn't a big deal if some types of hoe or axe aren't really useful because they are just another type of the same tool. But something like minecarts or horses have a lot of mechanics, a lot of unique gameplay. And they have a big potential to be used more often and I just want this potential to be unlocked, it will make the game more interesting. Talking about some methods specifically... I think there is no real problem with horses. A lot of people use them because there're not hard to get. Maybe it's even OK for them to be just worse then elytra, it feels like a fair progression. But minecarts should get better. Multi-purpose travel methods like elytra already have an advantage of freedom. So things like minecarts or boats on ice should be faster (or have other advantages like an ability to transport mobs). And the boats are faster but minecarts... They're just so much slower than boats on ice and even elytra... I think it won't spoil anything else if minecarts will get more competitive with boats on ice. It will be fair and will give players more to choose from even in late-game. Elytras are, as I think, too fast. A lot of people don't bother making even ice roads because elytras are fast enough to travel between any places. BUT there isn't easy solution to this problem. Someone can say that slowing down elytra is a solution. Yeah, methods requiring making a road to use will become more useful (even if there're slowed down too, as I think should be done in the case of elytra nerf, boost from 16 to 30 blocks/sec is much more useful than from 30 to 60 blocks/sec). But it will make the main use for elytra - traveling big distances in any directions - much more painful. It can be fixed only by making overworld more interesting to explore overall... So elytra nerf will be a good option only after a lot of years. Right now it will only cause new problems.

[@ramaicatseye]

I like when some things are better than others, it makes it more exiting to get them or talk about. Also, yeah. The elytra is simply really fun.

[@datonedood3791]

it's a problem of perspective. is minecraft meant to be fast or slow (travel-wise)? if it's supposed to be slow then yes, the elytra are OP. ice boats get a pass due to the hours of setup required. also, there's a difference between building a thousand block long ice highway out of a rare resource and building a gunpowder farm you found on youtube. if it's supposed to be fast, then yes, everything else is essentially useless. why get a horse and saddle or grind stacks of iron and gold for rails, when you can just speedrun the game and get an elytra, then build a creeper farm you yoinked off the internet? one is faster, yields better results, and depending on who you are, is more fun and easier. sprinting is exempt from this list because it is better for short-distance travel.

[@ArthurStrutt]

I have an idea for balancing transport: make minecarts a bit faster (like maybe 12bps) and allow players to attach minecarts together to make a train-like situation

[@darkreaper7256]

I would honestly be very pissed if Mojang nerfed the elytra. Yes it is a bit overpowered but what is wrong with that? Every transportation method has their own uses so the system seems fairly decent to me. However, there are a few changes that I think need to be made. 1. Minecarts are way to slow. Just make them faster (happy to see they`re already doing that) 2. Minecart tracks are too expensive to be worth it for early game or long distance travel. By the time you have the farms required to easily make a ton you most likely already have an elytra. Either make them cheaper or let copper be used to craft them as it is easy to get a lot of and would give it a real use. 3. Trying to get a horse over water makes me want to just never use horses again. Skeleton horses kind of fix this problem but they are too rare to count. Either make it to where horses have a long jump that allows them to clear rivers or let them swim while being ridden.

[@IcyDiamond]

[@BeeTeeKayMSM]

I don’t think traveling really has a problem. I personally only think that Minecarts and Horses should be buffed, *not* to compete with the elytra/ice boat but to give a bigger incentive to use them. Horses are good for early game, but they have a handful of cons compared to the one pro, being a little faster than the player, depending on the horse. It takes a *lot* to get a max speed horse, so it would be nice if that was made a bit easier. As a long time legacy console player, it was shocking to see how slow Minecarts were in other editions. I think Minecarts should be faster than horses, since they take a bit to set up. They are still fun to use tho.

[@xopowoHiro]

the thing with minecarts is that they *were* originally meant to be the go-to *player* transportation method back when sprinting wasn't a thing. they also tie to the game's aspect of creativity by encouraging you to build the necessary infrastructure for their tracks. I'm not saying the elytra is the devil or anything, but I am extremely happy that mojang wants to improve them in specific.

Your point about the pickaxes being like the transportation methods was the most convincing element to me. Maybe people just have an attachment to the Minecraft, it being a much older Minecraft element?

[@Jujan04]

I personally do think that Minecraft does have a transportation problem. The thing with the wooden pickaxes is that they're both pickaxes. It's essentially the same tool but upgraded. The elytra is completely different. The problem isn't just that the elytra's are better than the others, it's that it's way too overpowered. I don't think that getting 2 villager enchants and making 2 farms is enough of a down side to negate everything else. Minecarts and horses are almost never used, ice boats are occasionally used but people don't usually build a lot of them, and sprinting is pointless unless you're roaming around in your base. The elytra has almost everything, it has the good from the other transportations while having none of the downsides aside from it's hard to get. It's like if the end city gave you a 1 shot sword that deals 50 damage, except that it's hard to get, and takes like 1 gold ingot for every attack. Would you argue that it's fine because it's an end game item? I don't think that getting villagers and making some farms would justify it. However, that's just me.

[@broski7792]

Agreed. Elytra just ticks too many boxes. -Negates fall damage -Allows perpetual flight -Requires no infrastructure -Can freely change directions without sticking to a set route (i.e. rails, ice, water) -Can instantly activate to flee danger -Makes you virtually untouchable to mobs and other players as long as you're moving in the air. And on top of it all, it doesn't inspire creativity. Minecarts inspire people to build rail networks and decorate them. Since elytra doesn't need infrastructure, it doesn't inspire any builds.

In a game that's supposed to be about doing whatever you want, being able to fly fast does fit the theme well, and it's just very fun to do I still get use out of other travel methods though! And while yeah this game does support multiplayer, it's rare for transportation to be something players compete at unless it's the glide minigame, so it's fine for the Elytra to be superior

[@rogerelliss9829]

I've always hated the "it's overpowered." Argument on anything. They're not. If you want the game harder, bring in harder mobs. Otherwise, if you like minecarts, use them, I do. But just because I like them doesn't mean everyone has to use them. Mojang needs to stop nerfing things just because they want the game harder. That is so lazy. Get creative. Make the game harder by adding things not by taking them away

[@EmperorPenguin1217]

Yes it does. If balancing doesn't matter then why is there a progression system, weapon damage changes, certain things being locked behind certain dimensions, etc.? Minecraft being a sandbox doesn't mean it shouldn't follow basic game design

[@kinggator8231]

Even with Minecraft being a sandbox, buffing minecarts in particular adds to that. People used to build railways all over their world, but for as much as I love the minecart, even I barely build tracks anymore because the payoff for building such a project is way too low.

[@ChrisGamingNL333]

Many years ago i made a rollercoaster across the whole world, visiting multiple structures and landmarks. There were many areas where there was a long time of just traveling towards the next structure, in which i added travel through ravines and caves (which made the time between structures longer, 10 year old me wasnt very smart sometimes) But now i could just use an activator rail with a command block to make the minecarts speed up and maybe even launch them through rings in the air or something silly like that to make those empty parts more interesting. Now it has been like 8 years since i did that so im probably not doing it again any time soon, but these changes did remind me of the time i used to do it

[@binjimonanimations]

No, I don't think elytras are overpowered and need to be nerfed. The "problem" comes from SMPs, where beating the ender dragon is usually one of the first things you do in the game. Then at that point, everyone has an elytra, and transportation isn't fun anymore. You can travel anywhere whenever you want. There's no more point in building all these impressive bridges... massive interconnected minecart tunnels... horses and other animals that we can get emotionally attached to... In fact, why even bother with storage either, if you can hold 27² stacks of items on you at all times via ender chest? That doesn't mean I think shulker boxes should be nerfed.

[@Luke08700]

Minecarts get a lot better when you realize that their primary purpose is item transportation. Hopper/chest minecarts are invaluable for bulk item transport and/or complex sorting systems. At that job they are great

[@kianpfannenstiel]

I don't want to see any nerfs for travel. I also don't want to see all other methods of travel buffed such that elytra isn't the clear best option. the elytra is an endgame item and should be a strong reward for sticking out the ending I would like to see other modes buffed so they are the clear best options for a variety of specific uses appropriate for their cost (meaning carts need to be buffed a lot, and possibly made cheaper), but general travel should still have elytras as the best. I would also like to see getting elytras made into more of a thing so it is no longer optimal to rush them. I understand most people don't, and I don't want to stop those who choose to, but right now I think beating the ender dragon is too simple. I'd like to see a more challenging boss fight, perhaps, or maybe a more engaged process to get to the boss fight. don't get me wrong, it's got the right idea, and early on I think it was enough. but now the nether is so much more than just fortresses and the stronghold is kind of empty. I really don't think it even needs that much changed. just maybe an extra step here or there along the way, or perhaps more involvement in the existing steps. if we make the process of getting an elytra inherently more of an adventure, I think they'd be a more appropriate reward for beating the game.

Me and my buddy installed a mod that changes the speed of minecarts. Its awesome, you can actually use the subway systems you build to get around longer distances efficiently, unless you bump another minecart and get flung the opposite direction

[@russelldavis1359]

The main issue is that once you get an elytra there is basically no reason to invest in any other transportation method, and ideally each transportation method should be useful to most players at the varying levels of progression for their different purposes. Also encouraging building infrastructure in your world between your various builds/locations that mojang have worked to encourage you to make. A conpounding issue that you pointed out is that the difficulty acquiring/maintaining the elytra varies wildly. For players who can get an elytra in 30 minutes, they should be incentivized to still utilize/invest in the other methods. This would also benefit players who would never get an elytra because the transportation methods they do have access to are now more viable. Horses need a speed buff to move 1-3x sprint speed, allow the player to duck so riding through a forest isn’t as difficult, and can swim with a rider but really slowly. Horses should be what a player chooses to explore vast areas of land and be able to interact with it more easily than flying overhead and missing points of interest. Rail (keeping in mind to not break red stone builds to much) should have a basic speed of 2x sprint speed and can be upgraded to a max of 6x. This should be your most accessible transportation infrastructure. Boats are honestly fine, chest boat was actually a huge buff for boats primary role of exploring the ocean. Probably 2x swim speed on water, 5x normal speed on ice, and 10x normal speed on blue ice. This would be a more expensive but significantly faster version of rail for late game infrastructure. 1.5x elytra speed is much more worth the investment than 1.07x. There is still faster options such as the blue ice/dolphin/soul soil combo. But overall these buffs would still let elytra have its overpowered niche and be the best general mode of transportation but all other methods would still be the best for their niches as well and seemingly worthwhile to use/construct

[@Thebacklogofthoughts]

I think horse armor should make a horse faster but in return horse armor is harder to get

[@AidanBueling]

I agree generally with this, but I do have one problem with the elytra: it makes movement boring. There's so much more they could do with movement, like adding firework-crossbow jumps, or double jumping, or dashes, but adding any of those seems futile when the elytra would quickly make it obsolete.

[@enderallygolem]

Elytras + riptide tridents are so ridiculous fun

[@vulturesalesman]

The elytra is fine the way it is, as it requires someone to actually beat the dragon and also have an established creeper and sugarcane farm for rockets. Not to mention, without unbreakable and mending its usage is extremely finite, so you have to have both of those enchants as well. You also can't wear a chestplate with it on, meaning you're sacrificing a huge amount of defense for its mobility. It's an extremely end-game item and has a lot of value, but it still has quite a bit of an investment to obtain and use, which I personally feel balances it, so why nerf it? They should just buff the other transport methods to make them actually compete with the elytra, really. A lot of pepper already invest in blue ice paths because it's a great, safe alternative to the elytra, especially in the nether and end.

[@Lassikko]

I don't mind the Elytra being obviously the best way of travel but here's the thing- I don't really start building anything big in a world *until* I got an Elytra because it makes the process so much easier. And that includes railways. But at that point building a minecart track would already be pretty pointless because no one would ever use it. You could still make it for aesthetic purposes but personally I think your effort is better put elsewhere at that point. So yeah considering that a lot of people only have the resources to build a minecart track *after* obtaining an Elytra, I think it'd be cool if its usefulness reflected that.

[@Ghost_guy00]

Denying every pro elytra argument: It is hard to get - it is not harder than setting up an iceboat highway and even though it is an endgame item, the thought of you getting elytra some day will discourage you from ever setting up other method of transport. Transport should be balanced even in the endgame (the comparation of transport methods and pickaxes seems dumb to me since there is only one way to mine blocks, while there are a lots of ways to get from one place to another and not having to choose between one is a lost potential to me) It is hard to maintain - one gunpowder crafts into 3 rockets and one rocket can take you up to 500 blocks away and gunpowder farms have evolved a lot. In terms of durability, you probably have a mending book once you have elytra and repairing it doesn't take that much xp anyway (the durability system in minecraft is broken too) It is fun - while I understand that flying is fun and it is necessary to move around a megabase, It ruins the fun of exploring by flying over all nature, terrain and danger Just don't use it (stupidest argument by far) - have you considered I play on a server and I am the only one not using elytra and everyone else around me encourages me to just use the mach fuck jetpack

[@RePorpoised]

yeah. Looking at all of these in the vacuum that is singleplayer, it's at least moderately balanced, although (he mentioned it but not with enough emphasis) unlike every other mode of transport other than sprinting, you can use your elytra at the drop of a hat. But the moment you account for multiplayer, things start getting ridiculous. Now you end up with infrastructure that's typically designed around elytras: -lack of paths no railways and only sometimes an iceboat tunnel linking the most active spots on the server. -coordinates to places because the elytra will get there faster, meaning there is no walking path and important locations are typically isolated from each other, making them harder to find on foot. There is also little challenge to getting elytra because a portal has already been opened and directions will typically guide you to it, the dragon has already been slain, so the only challenge remaining is finding an end ship that hasn't already been looted. It leaves players without the elytra at odds with the patterns that will naturally emerge, especially if the server allowed access to elytra from day one. It really makes them need to have one to make their experience much better. With an upgrade to minecarts, it creates a trinity: Iceboats - Very expensive to set up, and hard to maneuver. Most effective when shooting in a straight line. Minecarts - Expensive unless you possess an iron farm, but typically doesn't require any input once in. Can be set up virtually anywhere(good at navigating over terrain). Elytra - Requires maintenance, but offers immense freedom of movement. Presents a risk of death from bad handling. All could (hopefully) move up to similar enough top speeds that it truly just becomes a personal choice, and incentivizes players to have all three in situations that are nicer for them.

[@ukulelebottom]

yeah uh setting up an ice boat highway is mostly for nether roof travel only because in the overworld you have the elytra but in the nether roof terrain is the same so it's hard to eyeball locations and its much more convenient to use ice boats since its more accurate (yes i know the nether portal is obvious but a path is better than more eyeballing) and don't even get me started with trying to use the elytra below the roof, ik you can set up a path to follow it to the nether portal but it's more convenient to use ice boats for very far farms which is worth the ice grind if you have said farms the difficulty to maintain it is in a limbo, but if you make a farm for literally everything in the game, then it's not the game fault. It's your fault because the game doesn't expect you to automate literally every process about the flying over danger, the game isn't adventure and it's a sandbox, the game isn't fun by ONLY exploring, you can build to have fun, you can mine to have fun and much more, some people find adventuring to not be fun and so they have the option to fly over the danger and terrain. and in response to "just don't use it" you can stop listening to your friends, they can't force you to do it, plus alot of people don't play multiplayer so what about them? you must consider the masses too.

Also you're downplaying how much work you have to do to make the elytra useful. -sugar canes farm -creeper farm -exp farm You need those 3 farms and while tge first one is pretty easy, the other two can take quite a while to gather the materials and to build, especially since tge exp farm you will need should give a lot of exp
