One thing I think would be cool is if Mojang made it so that mountains were more stony. Currently, large, steep hills are just covered in dirt and grass, but it’s possible to make it so that if it generates at or steeper than a specific angle, then it generates stone instead. There’s a mod that does this, but i forgot the name.

[@bennyl9228]

Suggestion to you - use modern minecraft footage for some of these suggestion videos, and maybe some modded footage to demonstrate some of your suggestions, if you can find a mod for them (e.g. Quark mod, for things like mushrooms and fallen trees in forests).

[@lakthederg]

the “natural structure” suggestion is SO TRUE. i don’t care about some “mysterious building,” i love when you find a sick looking cliff where you can build your house on top of. it looks so good and awesome, and builds on both exploration AND creativity

[@bumblebeebowties]

@@lakthederg yeah! i would absolutely love it if playing without any generated structures was a tenable world toggle-like, what if when you toggled that, the items that spawn in structures exclusively are given crafting recipes? it only seems fair!

[@makodolphus7810]

@@senordinkus "Tenable" was the key word. Yes, you can play without structures if you choose, but aside from the fact that this also disables stronghold generation (and thus preventing you from getting to the end without commands), you are still missing out on a SIGNIFICANT amount of content. Doesn't matter if it's "essential", content is content- and there still should be alternative options for the players who want to play in atypical ways.

"oh they're gonna take time to do the swamp update even though it lost the biome vote! nice!" >adds new swamp and doesnt update the old swamp "ah, well maybe another update" >"we're adding a new biome with trees that have hanging moss, inspired by willow trees!" i think theres some mysterious force that prevents them from changing old things and i mean, ive speculated a solid few reasons as to WHY. mostly fear of changing the game. but like god, they always add something new whenever they couldve changed something old

[@bumblebeebowties]

i did think about the reason for the pale garden, and i think it's just because it was kind of seasonal and they started working on it around halloween. at least it's a variant of the roofed forest, so it doesn't contribute to macro biome crowding. the thing with the swamp, though, yeah... that was just awful. didn't update swamps at all, just added new swamps. it's like creating two birds with one stone instead of killing them. now we have more biome crowding and the old biome still sucks, so we've accomplished very little! this is why i want them to make updates on old content a project. at least with the bundles of bravery update, we get updates to old content (implementations of bundles) and a little new content. i like that much.

[@KStarPR]

Didn't they also say we were still gonna have the old "extreme hills" before they revamped terrain entirely for the mountain update- effectively removing the old mountains? I like the new terrain & mountains, but there's a reasons there are mods that blend old terrain generation with the current generation.

@@msiio I mean that I want the generation of "Extreme Hills" and "Shattered Savanna" biomes to still exist alongside the rolling hills of their modern counterparts, the "Windswept Hills" and "Windswept Savanna" They can still get a bit crazy now, but I feel the closest thing we have to the old generation is the Stony Peaks biome, which is still pretty different from the chaotic nature of the old mountainous biomes. (Plus "Extreme Hills" and "Shattered Savanna" are the sickest names ever and no amount of renaming will get me to stop calling them that.) I could be very wrong in thinking that Mojang said they'd keep the old generation, but I'm also too lazy to investigate that claim.

[@aeolianthecomposer]

I really think Mojang should add more useful items that are exclusive to certain biomes or structures, similar to how maces are exclusive to trial chambers.

[@bumblebeebowties]

yes, this would add some vertical design, some depth, to these things. and they don't have to be really over-engineered, either, they could be simple, loot-exclusive things that are just little bonuses maybe? in a future video i plan on going into ways that different aspects of the game can give the same rewards. so, essentially, with enough effort you'd be able to craft rewards that you would normally receive only from exploring. i think this makes a variety of playstyles more accessible, which suits the sandbox nature of minecraft.

[@thomasdevlin5825]

Mojang is cooking with the pale garden, the effects aren't just ambient sounds that play in the background, they're the actual noises of the surrounding blocks, this is such a good idea that could have a huge impact on ambient features in the future. One idea I had was a generic bird mob that acts sort of like the tropical fish, where it spawns in different skins that represent actual bird species, but each skin actually makes the bird produce the songs of the species they're based on, and on world generation every forest biome would randomly roll two of these birds to spawn in it. It would be a purely ambient feature, but it would breathe such an enormous amount of life into an otherwise pretty boring biome

[@bumblebeebowties]

i absolutely love your bird idea. i think it has a lot of potential! i also really like the concept behind the blocks generating ambient noise. i think it'd be a good idea if they capitalized on it by adding a kind of catalyst block that made the noises happen, though, perhaps. then the blocks could be used in building optionally without generating ambient noise--though, they did think of this, because they only generate ambient noise when placed next to certain blocks. only problem is that it means you HAVE to have that noise whenever you place those blocks next to each other, hence why i think a kind of catalyst would be clever design.

[@sharkastic2633]

What I'd really like to see is a lot more underground structures. Importantly, smaller ones. We already have trial chambers and ancient cities, but those are so different from the underground that they might as well be their own separate entities. Instead of taking a more "headline" focused approach by adding big-ticket structures, it'd be nice to really make the underground feel more alive by adding smaller structures that fit into the environment akin to mineshafts or dungeons.Things like small gardens in lush caves, underground rivers with docks, and smaller pieces of ancient cities generating around them would all make the underground feel a lot less monotonous.

[@bumblebeebowties]

yeah, mojang needs to focus less on sprawl, more on small details. in a game like minecraft, it's not about finding villages and cities and things that the game has built... it's about finding little points of interest that makes YOU want to build.

[@shortposeidon]

For some things they could turn their attention to mods. Artifacts (I think) adds little camps with beds/furnaces to caves. They make a huge difference imo

[@yektaagra741]

I think its better to have big, sprawling structures underground since theyre already hard to find and the underground doesnt have biome crowding unlike the surface. And didnt we like it when mojang made caves more sprawling when they introduced Caves and Cliffs?

I could even say that Minecraft's newer biomes have extreme untapped potential that just doesn't get tapped because the dev team is just settling for something that they know could be better. With Minecraft biomes there is no "Wow!" factor, like I desperately wanna see an Oasis in the middle of the desert, or like a abnormally large tree in the middle of a dense forest, or even a lagoon on the edge of a beach! To increase that Wow factor, I'd introduce mobs and effects to help create a scene. Maybe when you arrive to the oasis you could find Camels drinking from the water and you could also add Zebras as well as Meerkats. As far as effects go, you could have it to where the water ripples as animals drink from it or you could have wind blow up sand around the oasis, creating a sense that the oasis is calm while away from it is not. Natural Structures can offer to create a scene that could potentially give the player that Wow factor that the world just lacks, it also can inspire a player to set their base there!

Small structures, like trees, bamboo sprouts, even desert wells aren't counted as structures, they're called 'features'. This would include the mountain spring and the other 'natural structures'.

[@jaeckex6214]

Good video! One thing I might add is to make special structures like pillager outposts, ruined portals, shipwrecks, villages even much rarer, but give them more impactful loot. I kinda long for the solitary feeling of when there were less structures - now it feels like I always immediately stumble upon "civilization" or a half-finished portal, and it doesn't really feel special to find them anymore. I'd love for finding them to become a special event in a playthrough again, perhaps balanced by making the loot to be found there more impactful (and maybe, largely unique to these structures?)

[@bumblebeebowties]

personally, i'd really be thrilled if they took the time to add in alternate ways to get structure loot when you turn generated structures off. my friends and i have a world where generated structures are turned off via a datapack and we've tried to make exclusive items craftable and stuff, but it's a lot of trouble.

A big mistake that Mojang did, was to deprive biomes of their own custom terrain generation in 1.18. Their intention was to make them more diverse, because they had it locked to them, so now biomes depend on random terrain generation. But that makes them less unique. They should have left it 50% spawning with their own custom generation, and 50% overwritten by the current generator. This way biomes stay exclusive and even more diverse.

[@LilyFlowers]

I think adding onto the forest thing, you know how there are "Old growth birch forest"s and "Old growth taiga"s we could have an old growth forest to match while keeping the regular forests. Trasition biomes are a wonderful idea and would make other biomes flow better! I also think if we are to ever update biomes truly we should start with some of the promised features in the biome votes. The desert, mesa, even the savanna really need an overhaul (especially deserts since they haven't been updated since they were added and are quite bare other than the structures you can find in them). Ambient mobs, fallen logs, moss, mushroom shelves and the like are all things which should probably be added too like you said.

IMO more biomes should be like the meadows. it's one biome but with the noise-based flower generation they always look unique from each other. one meadow can have a completely different combination of colors than another. you could do this with other biomes, for example occasional parts of forests could have lots of rocks and boulders, or a field of flowers, or differently shaped trees. I'm not too sure about the pale gardens being so small. they should be rare, but them being so small kind of breaks the immersion. most of the time, you can see other biomes from in there and it's no longer scary. more frequent hanging moss generation would give the biome better visibility obstruction (the "fog" everyone wants), and trees could have larger canopies compared to dark forests to make the biome somewhat dark even in daytime. as of right now, there is still a decent amount of room to add larger biomes to the game and it's safe from getting too bloated and having biomes become too rare. even mushroom fields can often be larger than the little splotches of pale gardens. I also don't really like the idea of trees randomly generating in unexpected biomes. it can look nice, but I think it could harm gameplay. the reason you explore to a lot of biomes if for their unique resources, not just for seeing interesting terrain. if the unique things are easier to get, exploration will be discouraged.

i have a lot of thoughts about exploration, myself--the unfortunate truth of exploration is that with increased biome crowding and "unique rewards", it inflates the need to explore in the game. this would be excellent if minecraft was just an exploration game, but it's also a sandbox building game. i'll be covering the topic more in a future video.

[@hhff8534]

@@bumblebeebowties well it's both. different aspects of the game work together with each other to make the game fun, rather than them being isolated playstyles. wandering traders exist for players who really don't want to explore, but exploring and finding the unique biomes in which the resources are found in should the more rewarding strategy. just one random pale oak tree being there and possibly giving you 4 saplings isn't quite as exciting as finding a pale garden. exploring, combat and redstone are pretty much necessary to then be able to build a lot, the game wouldn't be as fun if it was just manually farming resources and building. of course they also often add blocks that require no or minimal exploration, such as deepslate, tuff, hanging signs, bamboo.

[@bumblebeebowties]

@@hhff8534 that's fair. my opinion is just that i think exploration is an overly focused on game feature, along with combat. i preferred beta 1.7.3, when exploring and combat were game features that held up the pillar of building. you explored to find cool new places to build, you did combat so you could explore caves and collect resources to build more and craft more. i think building and crafting are kind of neglected parts of the game that go together, and they've been ignored in favor of exploration and combat. i would like to argue, though, that minecraft is a building game first and foremost.

[@minorproblems]

I like your idea of more ambient mobs, the other big one that’s been around the longest are the bats helping with the caves vibe. Personally I think we should see birds, things like the fireflies they decided not to add “because they are poisonous to frogs” should have been kept. If they have a problem with the real life comparison then make them glowing red and call them redstone bugs or something . Butterflies would be great too, and maybe even some moths that come at night attracted to the light sources. So many simple mobs that could add a lot of depth.

[@bumblebeebowties]

For the birds idea, mc legends uses them as 2d camera-facing ambient particles that float around trees. this would be my personal choice on how birds could be implemented, as it adds ambience and doesn’t really affect gameplay (like how they might be annoying, blocking your placing ability with a hitbox)

the nether update was hands down one of the best updates of this era of Minecraft because the biomes were so unique and fascinating and they gave the nether so much life

[@brendandangelo715]

I've long been a proponent of having a number of small "structures" that can be placed throughout the world. I thought it would be cool if forests could spawn in a singular extra tall tree on occasion. How about small mushroom circles, maybe put a chest underneath the center with some suspicious stews and a bit of redstone. There are tons of small things you can do with a minecraft world.

[@brendandangelo715]

Alright, Didn't want to bog down the main comment with these, but here is a list of structures I have been thinking about for years: - Statues. Maybe 4 or 5 kinds that generate randomly in forest-like areas. Don't need to be big, but of obvious shapes. - Real sand dunes. We have some sandy hills, but no great dunes. I'd love to have some. - Arches. Weathered and with some path blocks running through. Fun implications of older civs. - Hanging outposts. This one would be in the Nether. Small platforms made of local woods that are built into the ceiling. Throw a Piglin or 2 in there with bows. - Banner towers. I think it would be neat to find short towers with lots of faded banners. - Big trees with holes in the center. Because those are just plain cool. - Dead trees. Trees with no leaves or just stumps. - Burned out campfire. - Inverted mesas. Mesas that are wider on top than at the bottom. Like a land of super ravines or a singular piece that fills the sky.

[@MadGamer1337]

Speaking of working on biomes, here's some I'd work on (if I knew how to) if I were Mojang. 1. Have oasis generate in the middle of ludicrous sized deserts. 2. Rework Savanna/Badlands biomes to have some new structures in villages (such as a watermill). 3. As you mentioned, have studs on the side of the trees, fallen trees with variations, flower groups, bushes. 4. On Plain Fields I would make it so the Plain Fields are filled with sunflowers and bees, while the beehive is a ways away slightly from the sunflower field. 5. Increase the chance of abandoned villages being stumbled upon in Java (in Bedrock they're rare, but not as rare as on Java, I tested it out). While on this topic, I would make it so abandoned villages have a mine where villagers used to go to to mine for resources to expand the village, but this mine is infested with the undead. While in the mine, you stumble on new items that are used to deal with the undead (which is where new armour and gear comes into play where this specific group of gear deals damage more to the undead, more damage than Smite?). 6. In the roofed forests along with the new creaking biome, I would make it so that the sky and fog changes based on how deep you're in these forests. The deeper you're in, the darker it gets, retaining that horror element we all felt back in the day on Minecraft Beta and Alpha.

[@bumblebeebowties]

i love your ideas, and i really love your last idea a lot, too. they really need to bring back the alpha/beta fog as a toggleable feature--even using performance mods, the fog just seems lackluster nowadays. idk how they'd code it, though--how do you keep track of whether the player is deep in a forested roofed forest biome or deep in a barren roofed forest biome, you know? of course, there have been harder problems they've found solutions to, so it's not necessarily that big of stopgap.

[@MadGamer1337]

Block light level. The lesser the block light level, the darker the sky. As a solution. As for the fog, make it biome specific. Look at the nether for example. The nether fog has a red/blue/grey hue depending which nether biome you're in. Do something like that for roofed forests essentially. The fog is thicker in the roofed forests.

[@willydonka1041]

I have been saying this since the mangrove swamp, I was already like 'ehhhh but we have 50 already' But I thought it was updating the existing swamp, which we later found out it was not doing. Although, nowadays I do like mangrove swamps for one reason: They're unique. The terrain, how they look is unique to existing biomes. Its not like the cherry blossom biome or pale forest, where the biome's entire identity is 'plains but with tree' or 'forest but pink/gray' Cherry biomes could've benefitted from 4-5 block puddles/puddle clusters with lilypads or lotus lilies, and boulders, similar to the mega taiga but maybe more tall or long less spherical. Pale gardens would benefit from being an island biome similar to mushroom fields, because frankly, they're an ugly ass biome to have next to nice looking biomes. I would rather additions to existing biomes be made long before we get any new biomes, the ones we have now are plenty. Cherry trees could've been 'uncommon' finds in flower forests, like the large oak trees you get in forests. Pale gardens could've been an underground biome instead, I honestly think that would've been the absolute best play but mojang for some reason forced it to the surface, and they would've worked better as a cave biome with how the creaking works.

[@h311s.ang31s]

Bedrock has fallen logs. Java just needs them

[@Froggsroxx]

Lets be honest, the pale garden is bare-bones shallow. Cool, a single tree, flower, and moss. A hanging moss.... and the creaking? Like okay... garden is a pretty bold choice of word. It doesn't even transition nicely with serpunding biomes highlighting how lacking in ambiance the game is (highlighted here 2:30)

[@bumblebeebowties]

@@Froggsroxx true, which is honestly why i made the video-the concepts introduced by the pale garden (blocks that produce ambience, a new armor trim material) are relatively solid, but mojang really needs to spend less time or no time at all on new biomes and instead needs to refine old biomes.

[@Froggsroxx]

@bumblebeebowties i would love if the pale forest trees were twice as tall as the dark oak around them, with them generating mostly in tight clumps with occasional clearings for unique and varied plant life, including one that grows like chorus fruit but is only basically thorns 3 blocks tall in a random twisting shape to help hide the creaking. The creaking could be a caretaker of these "gardens". I personally think the creaking should be much more dangerous and you can only get the heart by killing the creaking, not the way it currently is. The heart could then be used to ward off hostile mobs, rather than the creaking scaring them. Perhaps the creaking could even be neutral until a player breaks a plant in the garden.

[@nelleriver5359]

One of my favorite existing "natural structures" is the giant mushrooms because their shape is practically begging for someone to turn them into a house, which is encouraging creative and memorable gameplay. I decided to brainstorm a couple more ideas that would do a similar thing of giving a reason to settle down and interact with the gameplay. Giant tree stumps: big rings of wood that match nearby trees and can be turned into a building Coal veins: there are other ore veins deep underground, but a coal vein exposed to the surface could make for an important place to revisit and harvest Other geodes: mojang had a great idea for encouraging players to set something up at amethyst geodes to farm them, but being stuck in caves makes them annoying to access. A surface level geode could be a nice place to start a base Defunct iron golems: golems that have lost their villages and have wandered to the point of disrepair. You could either finish the job for a couple extra iron or repair them for a bodyguard Meteorite: a big chunk of stone, maybe with a few ores, that someone could hollow out into a base Ant hills: occassionally ants bring food like meat, apples, or seeds to their mounds, being a resource generator you can build around Allay flower patches: rare rings of flowers that naturally spawn with an allay. Maybe there could be different colors for a bit of spice

The problems with updating existing biomes is the fact that a lot of players don't like the changes and some even deem them to be unnecessary. Like some of my friends haven't even touched versions exceeding 1.16.

[@LordSluggo]

I've been playing since InDev, and as much as I love Minecraft, Mojang post-Notch has been trying as hard as possible to *not* innovate and to make world generation as boring as possible.

I think even at just a VERY basic level, adding new trees to the game would help make things more interesting. I'm not talking about new wood types or anything, just more variations for existing tree types. Larger more full versions of trees, dead trees with no leaves, shorter trees that look like they haven't been growing for very long, trees with moss growing on them, etc. It's such a simple change, but it would make the game feel so much more alive and varied.

[@lapis8183]

I would love bushes, berry bushes in forests and a whole autumn biome with maybe even deers

[@captainphoton1693]

So. I basicly have idea for eeeeverything. For each biomes. Lighter ones. Larger ones. Mostly realistic and vanilla like ideas. As a general notice. I think most of the surface biome system should be redone. The terrain part is amazing. But the biome part is lacking. First biomes should influence terrain under them. Like plains, dropping the weirdness level down. In most cases. So that plains are plain. Like the old ones. And less often bulbous like the 1.18 ones. Stuff like plateau, and mesa is actualy more in lin with what i wznt. Second. Biomes should overlap. At the edge of each biome. They would all extend a few more blocks. Going from 1 blocks to maybe up to a 100, and spread a bit of their stuff there. Ground blocks might be the hardest. But a small blend. While the tress and such should fully blend. The further the rarer. Basicly natural biome blend or edges. Third, biomes should have parameters and variants. One closed biome should not look the exact same as another closed biome. Parameters would make slight data vary. Like adding block height to trees. Maybe more ores in the soil. Or any small idea like this one. Biome variant would be more deep changes. That still doesn't change the core, nor the purpose of the biome. Stuff like some meadows having rocks spawning while some are just plains. Flower forest with a single flower type. Bamboo jungle. Etc. Fourth. There should be sub biomes. Thing that exclusively appear in a certain biome. Like an oasis in a desert biome. Would be generating naturally and procedurally with its own stuff. But can't just spawn out of nowhere. It already exist like for mountains. But should be a qlipler more streamlined and used concept. Sixt, a new generation layer. The modidicator. Centered around a block, and then taking the shape this specific modidicator can generate as. Thoses area can overlap. Either mixing or the higher rone in the hyeerachy wins. Thoses could be large area where things spawn. Where for example: fallen trees or tree stompsonstezd of fully grown ones. Stones and ricks generating at the surface.

[@hajilee4539]

I'm still waiting for the birch forest to look like that concept art they showed once. Just a few fallen trees would improve the ambience so much...

[@malevolentmoose]

Better than transition biomes, a complete overhaul of the biome system would honestly be welcome. Rather than make 50 different forest variations, it would arguably be much more interesting to implement biome blending so that proper transitions between not only different kinds of forests, but between nearly any two biomes could be made much more seamless and natural. That being said, I don't expect that to ever happen outside of mods. Nowadays I'm mostly looking towards small little details and flavoring. Fallen trees, bushes, mushrooms, an abandoned hut, a desert oasis, a road between two villages, flowers, small grasses in deserts and tundra, exotic plants in the jungle, a few animals like maybe mice, birds, elephants and deer, a camping spot in a forest or in a cave, a few variants of the basic monsters, new trees, and so on. There's so much that they could do, though I can't help but feel like they seem to be disinterested in actually improving the existing parts of the game.

[@Sly-Moose]

[@freakonaIeash]

I heavily agree with this video... I feel like a lot of people would push back against these changes because they view them as "unnecessary" for the game. But, I made myself a little modpack recently, adding things I'd like to see in the game, many of which include your suggestions, and it makes a HUGE difference. Of course, Terralith's biomes are far different from vanilla ones, but I come across a sort of revamped birch forest often, logs on the forest floor and taller trees included, new flowers around. It makes the birch biome so much more interesting. Aside from that, I also got a resourcepack that adds little flowers and rocks to grass blocks, and an ambience resourcepack, which also makes the game way more immersive... I get to hear birds in the forest and the sound of rivers. Finally, small details like falling leaves, immersive weathering, also help everything come together. I _feel great_ playing with this modpack. It's so cozy and makes me want to explore and walk around everywhere! It could be a great incentive for exploration, to make biomes look nicer, revamp their aesthetic.

[@stingspring3168]

My idea for updating biomes would be in conjunctions with revamping the end and exploration. In my opinion, the problem with the end isn't the content of the outer end islands but the content of the dragon fight. The dragon fight should be harder and more of a climax within a playthrough. I also think reaching the end should be overhauled. Now in various biomes such as plains, jungle, desert, etc. there would be biome specifc dungeons using a similar loot mechanism to the trial chambers. Basically, you have to play by the rules of the dungeons to get the loot from the box. The main loot your searching for are "hearts of *insert biome here" (For example, heart of the sea). With these hearts, you can combine them with an eye of ender to get the biome specific eye of ender. There will be twelve in total which will be sourced from overworld biomes. You place all the eyes into the portal within the stronghold and then you are taken to a revamped dragon fight. Now the end feels more climatic, the biomes have more depth, and there is incentive to explore throughout your world in the early game, or at least before elytras.

[@thea.c.e.]

Hey, just wanted to say great work on the vid. Wanted to build on the foundation you laid starting with transition biomes. Personally, I'm really not a fan of having several clashing tree types spawn at random in the same biome but I think have more transition biomes that mimiced what you would see irl would be great (and I think thats what they would do anyways). Next is "natural structures", which I believe you are trying to refer to features. Officially in the minecraft world gen, a feature is a "natural element found in the world" such as trees, lava lakes, pumpkins, sugarcane, kelp, etc. More of this would once again be wonderful! And I think having structures geared more towards nature would also work (maybe an ancient tree big enough for a little parkour and loot inside?). I also think an overhaul to the standard minecraft tree type is long over due. You could keep the classic style AND have a new style, but I don't think it's necessary if done with a gentle touch. Ambience is also very important (a little goes a long way). Ambient mobs are usually avoided due to Bedrock edition, and I personally support the idea of keeping Bedrock and Java in-sync as best as possible.I suppose the same could be said for other forms of ambience (sounds and particles) though nothings as bad as entities. Honestly though, lot's of great thoughts! I think the most recent updates have leaned a bit hard into new new new and thats been great, but it's definitely time to look in the rear view and bring the old up to speed

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

It's a minor thing, but I personally want a cloud rework. Nothing like that one mod that's been going around, I actually really love minecraft clouds. What I want is for them to be more variable, Give them ability to have different layers depending on some kind of weather condition. Have them spawn at the old cloud level occasionally so they go around the huge new mountains, have them spawn really low to create fog banks. I honestly really love building so that clouds pass through my house, and I'd love if that could happen at more altitudes. Also, aside from low lying clouds, I really do just want more fog effects. Bring back bedrock fog, give the pale garden the fog everyone has been suggesting, etc. I'd love a spooky ocean biome with thick fog, slimy algae covered rocks, and lots of shipwrecks clogging the shores. Also, tangent, but another thing I'd love is a beach update in general, and one that doesn't exclusively focus on the bright tropical sort of vibe. I want stony shores and tide pools, interesting stuff washing up as structures, decorative starfish, crabs, and seabirds. God I would love seagulls in minecraft. It would add such good ambience the shores don't really have. You can have the bright tropical beaches as well, I'd just want them to come alongside the less charismatic side of the oceans that the game seems to neglect (see warm oceans getting coral reefs and everything else getting... nothing. Even the kelp forests don't really nail the vibe, feeling sparse and lifeless) Tangent 2 I also just want deeper oceans with a proper deep sea biome. Alex's caves really spoiled me and now I want the official take on something like that. Ideally even darker.

a good example of this in terms of features is the suspicious stew. we already had bowls that weren't used for much other than rabbit/ mushroom stew which weren't really worth making. they took a preexisting feature and added to it instead of making something new. there are so many "progression trees" for lack if a better term that just go nowhere, and while mojang has done a lot of cool stuff with features like that, sometimes it feels like they focus a bit to much on gameplay/ player action based features and not enough on worldbuilding/ passive features. like only so many players are going to make or be interested in making armor trims, but nearly every single player is going to be spending most if their time looking at biomes/ interacting with nature

[@echopeak5953]

I would love to see more tree variety in size and shape. Like an oak tree just begging for a treehouse or tall thin birches like real life or little shrubs like in jungles. I would also love to be able to find small clearings in forests or a big rock in a forest or plain. The ambient animals are a great idea. Bugs, birds, mice, lizards etc scuffling around and calling. There are no rabbits in the plains biomes, but I live in the UK and see rabbits in fields all the time. That sort of stuff makes minecraft feel just a little dead and its a shame.

So, if you have the free time, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY ask you to give these mods a try. I have been playing with a group of friends on our little server for almost a month now (when we usually get burned out in the 2-week minecraft phase) with no signs of stopping, and why is it lasting so long?, BECAUSE EXPLORING FEELS GREAT, THE WORLD IS GORGEOUS. Mod list (Fabric 1.20.1): Gliders - Fun for exploring Supplementaries - Adds urns and pots undeground, and more things overworld, like a structure wich is just a pole with signs pointing to villages in a 1k blocks distance Yung's mod series - Pretty self explanatory, coat of fresh paint for already existing structures Presence Footsteps - Ambience Immersive weathering (Optional) - This adds seasons, makes the grass change color every season and most importantly, Snows and Water freezes in winter. Crops also act differently deppending on season Structory - Little structures that add a lot more fun to exploration Inmis - Backpacks, the same as bundles, but better Legendary Tooltips + TieredZ - Adds a sense of value to the gear you make and find trough the world, from the terrible uncommon wooden axe, to a Legendary Iron sword Prism (Optional) - Shaders! Ambient sounds - Ambience THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE: Terralith - This mod by itself makes the game feel like Minecraft 2 in terms of exploration Visuality - Ambience Falling Leaves - Ambience Advancement Plaques - Cool? Auditory - Ambience There is a lot more mods we use, such as Mcaws furniture mods and Farmers Delight with addons, but for now, I left the list with the main ones that has made exploration such a wonder. To close it off, Great video!, I hope Mojang really takes a look at this and considers how much little changes affect how the game feels.

[@captainphoton1693]

Yeah idk. And at that point. Might as well make them willo trees right? Why not rework almost every biome into being more of a sujétion to the generation. Like it should include this and that. But can also include other things. Mainly for forest variety. Biome variants, and sub biomes like an oasis in a desert. Etc. Also biomes should influence tzrrain Like plains dropping the wierd zss level down, most of the time. So the plains are actualy flatter like before and not bulbous like since 1.18. More stuff like mesa and plateau. But more complex.

[@RhianKristen]

I'd love to see taller trees in general. Nothing groundbreaking, just a few blocks, but enough to make the trees feel like trees rather than glorified bushes. Speaking of, I'd love to see more mid sized objects in Minecraft. More 2-tall flowers, or a bush for example. An update to the appearance of flowers would also be nice. More unique shapes and ways of placing things in the world would help a lot too. The very early design for the pot was beautiful. It had such a unique shape and I was so sad when they made it square and bulky. Water plants like cattails or reeds might be nice too and could act as a very basic early game bed in place of wool. Perhaps it could even be a one use item, or not set your spawn like some mods do. I'd also like to see some different kinds of desert biome. Maybe have an oasis spawn, or salt flats, or desert edge biomes where there is sparse growth but still something for critters to feed on. Salt flats could be interesting if they wanted to mess with food at all. Like maybe food went bad and we have to preserve it in salt for it to last. Maybe we could use the salt to create meals for ourselves that added buffs like potions, but in a different way and alongside a more limited health/hunger increase. I want to see more different kinds of life in general I think. A greater number of flowers and plants, but also mobs. I like having certain mobs tied to particular places, but I think the base set of mobs could use an update. Why not have a rare chance for a larger, stronger version of a zombie, skeleton or spider to spawn in? Why not add a scorpion to the desert biomes or a giant bull ant to the savannah to flesh out the 'arthropods'. They could add brown/black bears to the taiga/forest biomes as a counterpart to the polarbear. Oh! You could add ice caves to the polar biomes or moulins to glaciers. There are so many things. Too many things to write. As an aside though, adding some nice "small tasks" to do would be wonderful as well. Giving us the ability to carve and inlay wood, or make topiaries would be amazing fun. It depends on how much 'survival' they want to add to their game, but fleshing out some of the crafting mechanics to make them more involved would be a great way to engage the player as well. If crafting a diamond pickaxe was a more involved process - maybe I have to refine ore, cut the diamond, engrave the handle, whatever - than just place items in crafting table and done, it would give us more of a connection to our tools and (in my opinion) quieten the debate over Mending. I think more people would be ok with Mending if the process to get the tool was more involved. You could also take alternate routes to get enchantments on your tools. Maybe you have to collect particular resources to add into the forging process in order for you to get a tool with a particular enchantment on it. That could be more fun than worrying about villagers with the enchanting table being a "quick and dirty" version with unpredictable results. Adds some fun and flavour to the game I think. Anyway, this is way too long, Imma stop now. :)

YES, YES... please for the love of god mojang add ambience im dying ou there, it's so soul-crushingly silent. also when you mentioned "transition biomes" and the "grassy forest" i instantly thought more along the lines of something you'd see in a studio ghibli film or the Sonic OVA (if you watched that) with tall (waist high) thick windy almost padded grass. from the examples i set: the field of grass in spirited away Chihiro runs through at the beginning, or in the OVA that sonic wakes up in after being KO'd by hyper metal with the dew drop on his nose.

[@mikab.4838]

transition biomes would be really cool!! the jungle edge is a subtle but really nice addition

[@IsmailWafdi]

Immagine Mojang comments:"ok buddy, say less"

[@bumblebeebowties]

as long as they see the comments lol. y'alls collective opinion is much more powerful than my single opinion, as long as we can keep the suggestions positive and realistic!

[@manasseh00]

I don't know if I'm the only one , but your voice sounds quite therapeutic and relaxing. For that , I'm subbing 🙏🙏

[@bumblebeebowties]

thanks so much :^)

[@TheGeladoo]

This new "drops" release structure feel like the perfect opportunity for them to regularly add more depth to existing features. I hope Mojang realizes this

[@blanketray6050]

there's a community datapack that does exactly this, it's called geophilic

[@Mysteri0usChannel]

It would be so cool to have different types of birds: Songbirds, owls, pigeons, crows, woodpeckers, cuckoos... They could all spawn within the same biomes, but at different ratios, and maybe even have their ratios influenced by the presence/proximity of certain structures! Village nearby? More pigeons! Woodland mansion? More crows! Witch's hut? More owls! And they wouldn't even have to do much. Drop the occasional feather, make sounds, fly and flutter around, and nothing more. Kinda like bats. In the forests, we could have deer and elk, in the dark forest we could have elk and wild boar, in the taiga forest we could have wild boar and moose... Maybe squirrels that are somewhat skittish and will run up trees when the player approaches and disappear into the leaves, raccoons that are basically just re-skinned foxes, sea gulls that spawn along shores and will try to pick up any dropped food, albatrosses that soar above oceans. Jellyfish in the warm oceans that do nothing aside from looking pretty and dealing like half a heart of damage if you accidentally touch their nettles. Maybe every once of a while a glowing jellyfish would spawn in place of a regular one - not as its own type of mob but just as a variation of a mob. Crabs on the ocean floor that can be eaten as a food source, as well as clams and mussels that can be found close to the coastline. Seashells would be nice as a decoration and maybe they could have pearls as a rare drop. Fireflies that aren't even really mobs but dynamic particles that appear in swarms in and near forests at night. Swarms of mosquitos that just appear as a single mob. Butterflies that just go from flower to flower, pollinating them but doing nothing else. Add more variety to fruit! Why do we have apples but no cherries? No pears? No plums? No acorns? No chestnuts? Maybe even bananas and pineapple and mangoes and papayas in jungles! Palm trees, some of them with coconuts on beaches! We have bamboo and sugar can, so why not reed? It could even be used as a resource to make into building blocks or mats for roofs! A little variety to grains! Maybe some rice and some corn as well, so not every village grows the same 3 plants regardless of climate. Tumbleweed in desert biomes. Occasional dust devils that don't do anything aside from tossing dropped items around. None of this would require any big new complicated mechanics!

[@yassifieddino1792]

I hope mojang doesn't add ambient sounds like birds chirping ect, i like how quietly weird the overworld is.

[@awsomebot1]

tall trees would be annoying tbf. its already a hassle to cut down an entire jungle/megaspruce tree, even darkoaks take long

[@bumblebeebowties]

i think as long as the trees are still simple 1x1 trees this can be mitigated. after all, they do it for the birch forest biome and it's pretty tolerable. i don't like the big oaks with the branches though, those are annoying.

[@Kept_Burrito]

Branches are cool but annoying, 2 * 2 are easy to cut down, you cut in a staircase way, so 1*1 tall are also annoying, havr to pillar up, just use a cheer to cut leaves in jungle

[@lionelhutt9119]

I just cut them down from the top. Jungle trees with vines are the easiest early game

[@user-jm8fj7ez8s]

Taller forests imo would affect gameplay which is probably why they've been hesitent. the Jungle biomes are quite daunting to cut down the tree without leaving floating tree everywhere

[@ThematicCraft]

All of these would be great improvements! I love the idea of world ambience. Even if it was subtle; sometimes Minecraft just feels lonely or baren without it. Great video! 💙💙

[@bumblebeebowties]

@@ThematicCraft thank you!

[@Scrogan]

I want Mojang to encourage players to build aesthetic infrastructure. Minecart tracks and canals are great for this, but they’ve been obsolete since horses unless you adjust their speed. Boat roads are a cool way for players to invest their time into better transport, but the aesthetic is bad, especially when it comes to ice in the nether. Dolphin tunnels are cool. In modpacks, I like to design them such that they have enormous veins of resources and no renewables, to encourage players to build an outpost at each vein and to build transport routes between them. Possibly even building automatic pipelines or transport carts to take items and fluids back to your main base. In vanilla we have trial chambers, end portals, and spawner cages, but since those are all underground the infrastructure doesn’t end up looking very impressive. Having similar permanent points of interest atop mountains or even on floating islands would be very cool. Witch huts and water temples are more impactful, but not many players build farms for those.

[@E-102]

You make some really good points, I felt the need to leave a comment so this gets more attention, the overworld could be so much better

[@bumblebeebowties]

@@E-102 thanks!
