Minecrafts Last COMPLETE Update.

The past few years, minecrafts yearly updates have been riddled with controversy and drama. But 1.16, the nether update was the complete opposite, the last uncontroversial minecraft update...

What's interesting about 1.16 is its by far one of the most "modded" feeling updates they've made, yet despite that the people who usually complain about newer updates feeling modded didn't seem bothered by it. Probably because it was just _so good_ and tied in perfectly with the game's pre-established mechanics, rather than being separate.

[@lucasmatthiessen1570]

It didn’t feel that modded. The biomes kind of did. Mostly the warp forest. But the mobs felt like something Notch would have made. Like the strider. An adorable red square with only two legs.

[@EmperorPenguin1217]

1.16 is modded in the good way, as in vastly expanding the game with crazy concepts but being overall cohesive. 1.19-20 on the other hand feel modded in the bad way, where the features have almost no cohesion at all and sometimes don't even fit the artstyle, such as sniffers and camels having jarring animations.

[@MrBrineplays_]

​@@EmperorPenguin1217Yeah. 1.16 felt more close to the original, properly expanding upon old mechanics and also being part of the main game. Newer updates felt dead and lacked connection. They could exist or not exist and the game would be no different. 1.17 and 1.18 had gameplay changes that I liked, but 1.19-1.20 felt empty. It's like their purpose is just to be decoration or less than that. If they were removed, nothing would change.

[@muhammadfajri9392]

​@@EmperorPenguin1217the animation is not jarring per say, but it's just too "smooth" and don't line up with the rest of the mobs

[@lasercraft32]

@@EmperorPenguin1217 So true... the Sniffers and Camels have way too fancy animations. So does the Warden, but that's intentional to make it feel unsettling in comparison to normal mobs (kinda defeats the purpose if camels, sniffers, and frogs _also_ have fancy animations too).

Even though I mostly played 1.15, I agree that the Nether Update was the best of minecraft resurrection age (By my definition 1.12 -1.18), with Caves and cliffs being really cool, but as it was split it's kind of a strange thing, as it isn't fully "an update" but more "the updates"

[@WolfyRed]

Minecraft 1.16 is not a real update. It's fake. It's literally a mod. The Nether has always had Pigmen, and the Nether never had basic materials like wood and real food, because it's a whole new dimension, a whole new challenge for the player. The End dimension doesn't even have real food or wood either. It's supposed to prepare you for the End.

I swear the real reason was because they couldn't implement them and they had to lie about "caring about nature" to look superior.

me personally the newer updates aren’t bad, but there’s a few criticisms i have about it 1. they’ve consistently promise a lot of things into 1 update, but then break it up 2. the new biomes- i love the new biomes im just upset that they’re so rare to come across now, & how small they can be. i remember when the dark oak forest was added and it just brought life and it was pretty big. these new biomes are nice, they’re just so hard to come across & so tiny 3. the mobs- i also like the new mobs it’s just the way they look and their movement. you can tell the difference of movement and the way they look between the horse and the camel.

Mojang might’ve over promised on Caves and cliffs but If they didn’t have this idea that there has to be an update every year I feel like Caves and Cliffs could’ve been one of the best updates in Minecraft History. Imagine getting all of the small features we’re getting now and putting them into just 1 big update. Mojang had that decision but instead they decided that having small features be 1 update is better

@@albal156 Exactly! Its why we have 20XX version of FIFA or Maden, or a new COD or Battlefield game every year, a new Pokemon game every year (actually they seem to be doing DLC during the off years now).

I don't thinks its even that much of a issue that they split the update in half. But that then next two updates after that kept adding features that were promissed originally for caves and cliffs. The last few years felt like we were given breadcrumbs of false promises. Very underwhelming and lost potential

[@Camlling]

1.16 was like a full blown DLC. Whereas everything since has felt more like a patch than anything. It also feels with 1.20 like it’s back in the day when notch would just add random things to the game. But instead of it being a weekly event it’s now just a couple random small things a year.

Fun fact: 1.16.5 was also the last update that could run on your potato computer aka Windows 2000/XP which adds a second reasoning why this update is considered the best.

[@procrastinates]

Back in 2021, when I was still using a hand-me-down laptop, I remember booting up 1.17 for the first time and not being able to run the game at even 30 FPS. For a while, the game was pretty much unplayable in Vanilla, until I saved up for an actual PC. Mojang seriously needs to update their minimum requirements, or optimize their game, because the laptop I was using is above their listed minimum requirements, but it still struggled to crank out 30 FPS.

[@SqueezyTheOrca]

@@procrastinates 1.17.1 was able to run on PCs that had the OpenGL treatment applied, although 1.18 did end up crashing due to how many blocks it has to process all at once but optimization mods are still there to atleast *try to* keep it smooth as possible.

[@markhesse4510]

For me, game performance fell into the void in 21w06a. The last version I can run without any performance mods is 21w05b, which also is the last version with the bundle enabled by default that does not use the non-backwards compatible save format from 21w06a and up. For anyone wondering, my minecraft singleplayer server uses an overclocked 2920x and 64+ GB of RAM.

One thing a lot of people seem to forget is that, during the minecon live that happened before 1.19, when Agnes was talking about features they were working on for 1.19, she also mentioned how they were going to focus on "Biome Diversity", basically meaning making the biomes in the game feel more unique amongst each other. This never happened of course, and our "wild" update only consisted of a whopping TWO whole biomes.

[@yeyeyeyeyeyeyyeyey]

Exactly. It wasn’t fireflies or better birch forests in particular that Mojang dropped the ball on. They quite literally lied about the entire theme of the update itself. And their solution after players found 1.19 underwhelming was not to improve their update process and figure out what went wrong after 1.16, it was to barely announce anything at Minecraft Live to an extent so comical they stopped announcing the names of updates. And then 1.20 was somehow like a third the size of 1.19 with no theme at all and zero quality control or community input with the features. I don’t even know with them anymore

[@SemiHypercube]

I wonder 1.17/1.18 would've been like if they didn't have to stick to that yearly summer release so that they didn't need to split the update

[@TaytheTimeTraveler]

which is probably in part at least do to microsoft, but it also was affected by the whole pandemic happening at the time of that update

[@StuffandThings_]

100% agree. To add to this, I'd say that 1.13 is the last update that I'm nostalgic for (which is weird cause it doesn't feel _that_ long ago but also feels like a lifetime ago...), and 1.7 is the last update that truly feels like "golden age" style Minecraft. Its sad to see how much they've veered in the past few years.

[@randomcamera746]

for me, the golden age version is 1.12, as the world feels fleshed out but not too barren, and not too oversaturated, the performance is still amazing, and the game is just charming in its simplicity, and feels fun and fulfilling to play.

[@Seeathecat]

I feel the same, update aquatic will always be my favourite update because it got me back into the game

[@hoonfox5087]

To be 1.8 still fells like a truly game changing update with how much it revamped world generation, and all the flowers and such.

[@fosminclorin]

1.7 was pretty cool, they added more biomes and wood types, I think there were only like 6 biomes before it

[@TheRenegade...]

The last golden age update is BETA 1.7. Beta 1.8 to 1.12 is more of a dark age, and 1.13 to 1.16 or 1.18 is the silver age. And I say that having started between around the time of 1.4

[@TheUltimateEnderling]

1.16 was the first Minecraft update I got excited for. 1.17 and 1.18 were exciting as well. 1.19 onwards, I never noticed they were even released until arbitrarily checking the changelogs.

This is a great video. Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head. The commitment to a complete revamp of an encapsulated part of the game is part of what allowed them to really make it feel different - they had a vision and a specific in-game location to enact that. Combine this with the amount of charm and care they put forth, and the nether truly did become a unique place, with the sentiment of the update directly tied to that place. They haven't really been able to do this in the same way since. Great analysis!

I think another way of describing the disjointed feel of more recent updates is that they are more for endgame players. Mojang has been focusing on tiny additions that most players will only interact with once they've gotten an elytra and good armor. The new updates add items or mobs that are more like collectibles rather than fun features to interact with. This is unlike the nether and caves updates (if 1.17, 18, and 19 were all in the same update) which would undeniably impact your game from the very beginning to the very end.

1.16 expands the game and forces you to experience it (in a very well implemented way). while the updates after are mostly only optional things you can choose to just ignore, that most of the time they're just tedious to even get in survival to how little they provide the overall experience of the game leading most players to never even bother with the feature.

I prefer not to cheat but the closest Cherry Biome in any direction was several thousand blocks away from where i build. It seems like there could be a better system to make features logistically closer to a base and more prevalent.

[@jackstorm670]

The wandering trader could serve this purpose, allowing even the most unmoving people to eventually collect all the different blocks and items. Him selling various biome exclusive items seems both unique AND useful. Something that'd help from him being farmed for leads is making it so killing him makes him showing up take longer.

I still hold the opinion that netherite is just not worth it, especially now with smithing templates making it even more expensive. The rest of the update was cool though

[@HungryWarden]

They should increase the durability by a lot.

[@witoldhodys4453]

I honestly dislike netherite for many things. It's annoying to get, with the new smithing templates it's nearly impossible to obtain on servers, it's not too powerful in survival, but at this same time totally breaks pvp, beacuse kb resistance prevents combos at all. It also made the diamond less iconic. While i love 1.16, the addition of netherite was imo a big mistake.

[@krooton729]

Netherite was not a mistake. It is completely optional and you absolutely do not need to expend the effort obtaining if you so choose. Smithing templates can also be replicated, which gives a significant use to diamonds beyond armor, tools, jukeboxes, beacon bases, and whatever else. I realize in a SMP where lots of players are carving out the world, there is an added layer of difficulty, but this is less of a game-design problem and more of a player-number problem. I also don't see the issue with diamonds being less iconic, but I also don't entirely feel the same way. Even now, in my super late-stage survival world, I still get excited finding diamond ore and I don't need it for anything.@@witoldhodys4453

[@veriousshifter2930]

​@@witoldhodys4453In my opinion at least, I don't really think so but I can why you guys dislike it now due to 'recent changes'. The addition of netherite in my opinion is pretty solid. It makes sense why its hard to find initially and has its perks like being knockback resistant and immune to fire. With that being said, the smithing templates just ruin the whole experience of getting netherite. It had no other uses than just being an extra step to aquire netherite gear and its honestly becoming a theme of Mojang to just make thing more difficult and more pointless such as progression and gameplay.

I agree that 1.16 was the last near perfect update but honestly I've warmed up to 1.20. I can't deny it does feel a bit random it did focus on Archeology though. I do wish there was more places and reason to do it like being used to get the treasure in a temple and finding weapon cosmetics (like Farcr's Vanity Mod and its addons) or proper artifacts like shulker powered hover boots or something wacky like that. 1.20's quality of life changes were also nice from the Creative menu being cleaned up to identifiable potions. I'd be happy for a smaller update like 1.15 with mainly quality of life like descriptions for Enchantments and Effects with just some new features (maybe some of the losing mob vote candidates to get on the community's good side). I know everyone wants the End Update but I agree with Mojang's approach to making it easier to reach the End before it's updated. No idea where they're going with the Trial Chambers but I'm hoping it leads into the Combat Update maybe.

[@theundefinedone8775]

I genuinely cant keep up with which features are from which recent update, they're all so random and rare. I genuinely thought crafters were a thing on a 1.20 server I recently played on, while completely forgetting about cherry trees until I stumbled across a cherry biome a couple thousand blocks away from spawn. I also thought camels were coming in the next update until i saw some while visiting another player's base a couple weeks after I joined. 1.20.x feels exactly the same as 1.18.2, having played both at the same time.

Simple solution: finalize Minecraft 1 and begin making Minecraft 2. In Minecraft 2 mojang can be more experimental and change the game massively. Anyone who complains can still play MC1. This way they won’t be afraid to change the game too much and alienate old players. I want Minecraft 2 but I love playing Minecraft 1. It’s a good solution but not perfect. But still the best option

I feel like if the nether update was made recently, it would have totally added a bunch of overworld features with a few nether additions

[@zen_craft_animation]

I think the problem is that Mojang focus too much on the overworld. like yes it where the player will be most of the time in the game but Mojang are scared to change how the overworld looks and feels. Mojang still has the end a place that massively in need of a redo. the end just feels unfinished and forgotten. the "end boss fight" is far to easy. I mean when beds can kill your end boss you know you done something wrong.

(I might be pasting this around since no one is seeing my comment from 2 weeks) Here’s actual evidence (not just speculation) that the end update will (should) come soon: The sound of the first monster in Disc 5 is not the warden, it is the exact sound of the ENDERSENT miniboss from MC Dungeons Echoing Void DLC!

[@adaloveless1824]

One interesting point I heard on this from a different video (I don't remember who it was by) was that the nether update was the last update that Mojang had complete freedom to make. Microsoft may be more picky about the overworld since it resembles the real world, and that is why they had to remove things like fireflies, and Mojang could not go all out with crazy ideas in the overworld. Since the nether is a clearly fictional dimension, there is less pressure from Microsoft for it to be realistic or coherent with real-life animals and behaviours.

[@aidancode]

1.16's main draw is how inspiring it is. When it got shown off at Minecon live, everyone started thinking of what direction Mojang could take the update, all the cool builds that they could make, and the awesome and unique environment that was being constructed. It was playstyle-defining. Starting with 1.17, updates have sorta just been slowly adding to the toolkit without really being that imaginative. I think what would really help the updates, at least for me, would be a better way of finding the new content. Minecraft worlds are so incredibly massive and empty that it can be very difficult to find new content even if it does get added. I remember launching the snapshot with the villager changes and going to a cartographer and he pointed me to a witch hut that was like 10k blocks away. I would really like it if structure frequency and biome sizes were added as customization options on the menu.

Personally my favorite update was 1.14. While it did have a theme (village and pillage) many of the features added were spread throughout the game and weren’t directly related to villages. In my opinion it is an example of a “random features” update done right.

[@ThighFish]

I guess it was both of those; it had a clear central theme but also many features of varying levels of disconnect from the theme. In fact, I’ve theorized that bees and related features were originally intended to be part of Village and Pillage before being pushed back to 1.15, which was previously planned to just be a technical update, similarly to how the original plan for Update Aquatic was for it to be 1.14 with 1.13 being a technical update.

[@doritohair0759]

Another thing about 1.16 is that the update was very interactive with the community as snapshots were releasing. The community wanted a way to get gold in the nether, these thoughts were put online, and two weeks later we got nether gold ore. The community wanted a new structure in the nether, in fact most people wanted a “bastion” type structure, and we got the bastion remnants. We wanted another new biome and for basalt and blackstone to be more easily obtained in bulk, so we got the basalt delta biome, and basalt generators, and piglings bartered blackstone. We wanted a piglin type boss, and in 1.16.2 we got the piglin brute, and while it’s not a boss, it is basically a buffer piglin. I remember most people wanted a “Piglin Chief” to be a boss in bastions, and we got fairly close. Even small things like netherite hoes being a rare barter trade from Piglins, the community didn’t like it, so it was removed.

Mojang can definitely choose to make another 1.16 level update, they just don't have the work ethic to. It's not like they make money off of updating a game most people already own. Thats why their events promote their other games more than the original game. That aside, I think one of the things that really helped the Nether update out was the fact that it involved something that players HAD to interact with. The nether is an integral part of the game, as it allows for quick transportation. 1.18 also benefitted from this, if it only had more features. Caving has always been a major part of Minecraft. 1.19, 1.20, and from what we've seen of 1.21, these are all things that players won't be required to interact with, which isn't inherently bad, but means that if you aren't actively seeking them out, you might as well play the previous version. Another thing that 1.16 benefitted from was the complete fantasy elements. Minecraft tries WAY to hard to be realistic. When I first played Minecraft, it was interesting to find out that mycelium, obsidian, and silverfish are all real things. Now I'm hard pressed to find something that isn't in real life. The ancient cities are personally my favorite Minecraft feature right now, and it benefits from the lack of connection to real life.

[@Crafterz]

i agree. newer updates lacking bigger, more noticeable changes and instead having only niche (even if they aren’t bad) features is what i dislike. aside from underdelivered and delayed features of 1.17, second part, 1.18, do fit this "noticeable changes" part, and so even after everything i still had something to be excited about 1.18. all next updates absolutely lack this. as well as most features feels to be not realized to full extent. like imo ancient city lacks some REALLY USEFUL loot, like beacon (extension from nether fortress’s wither skulls), elytra, sponges or even end portal itself. pretty much all 1.16 features do not feel any useless at all, almost all features have uses aside of decorations (well except obviously building blocks, it’s more about decorative:functional features ratio, which is okay in 1.16). some have even multiple, like netherite can be used for lodestones or movable but immune to explosions block. example when it’s NOT realized to full extent is archeology, which could have more uses than just for sherds, there a lot of things for "ancient theme", like ancient armor (which may be different only visually from existing), ancient paintings, some interesting decorative blocks or even just pot shape variants. in conclusion, newer updates lack unity, being less niche and having features that could have more uses.

When I heard about 1.16 i was hyped like a new rarest ore an old part of the game being update it was just such a good update I remember i checked out 1.13 played for a bit and then stopped playing minecraft for about a year came back to see villages update it felt so cool just seeing an old feature thats ive been use to for years being updated to be even cooler just felt right compared to add random stuff like they are currently doing

[@thefollower2933]

Its funny, i remember that when 1.16 came out i was really close minded when it came to Minecraft, like i genuinely didn't want to play anything beyond 1.12 because I thought the newer updates made the game too different. Then i eventually got over that and saw that 1.16 alongside was probably the best update since 1.7, it fundamentally changed the game and not in the 1.9 "Mechanics" way, every world you make now will be fundamentally different because an entire dimension got an overhaul, the only thing i don't like is the removal of zombie pigmen, piglins and their zombie counterparts are cool and all but the Zombie Pigmen were classic. But that doesn't really bother me now since i use a texture pack to change them back. Really the only actual complaint i have is that nether fortresses didn't get updated, and while that was never promised i think they deserve an update with how easier Minecraft has become now. Nether Fortresses were always structures that at least for me, were defined by chaos. In older versions stepping into them felt like stepping into an endgame dungeon, especially when they generated over lava, the amount of mobs, Blazes shooting at you, wither skeletons popping out of nowhere, and the long corridors making for intese moments is what made them great for me. But since 1.14 Enchantment became so easy to get that its now more than likely that when you visit them, youre already going to be overpowered, whereas before it was more likely you'd explore them before getting full enchanted Diamond Armor, or netherite in this case. So an update that changed the structure to bring it closer to what it once was would've been nice, (hell they could always add the wildfire as a boss or something) but they didn't, which is fine because those structures are classic, but an update to them still would've been nice, but besides that, 1.16 was literally perfect.
