Why is 1.21 so important as an update to Minecraft? Why will it affect every future update made by Mojang?

    Edit: Dog variants and the mace are pretty damn cool, still wish they'd revert the copper bulb nerfs but update looks pretty promising! Very sorry that this vid took longer than expected, I hope this was worth the wait! Also, I think someone can just make a video compilation of me saying the word "controversial" at this point lmao.
  • @jannarose8890
    weird how axolotls can eat saltwater fish and live in saltwater as freshwater animals,but frogs cant eat slightly poisonus bugs
  • @TheFlyingFire
    Maybe the real 1.21 was the friends we made along the way.
  • @MorseStone
    I remember when the aquatic update first came out, it was probably one of my favorites to be honest.
  • @georgeshaw4017
    Playerbase: “We want Bundles!” Mojang: “Changes to Villager Trades? Okay!”
  • @plsreadmybioxd
    Honestly they could’ve just added fireflies and make the frogs NOT eat them? Ik a 2 pixeled mob isn’t a big deal but it would still be useful to see in the dark and for builders.
  • @LazerDisk
    Impactful. That’s the keyword. The Nether update was impactful and caves and cliffs was “supposed” to be, although the staggered release really hurt the impact. Mojang could work on even a single feature, and as long as it changes and improves the game in a way that feels impactful, the community would rejoice. The state of the game isn’t as healthy as it once was, after all, so people want to feel like it’s improving.
  • @batplaysstuff339
    the nether update was 4 years ago? wow time just flies like nothing
  • @emeryduhgamer
    I doubt Minecraft will ever really die, with a devoted fan base and mods getting released and updated every so often I don’t think we will ever see Minecraft die.
  • Oops, they did it again. Copper bulbs were too cool and useful, so they decided to nerf them for no reason in the current snapshot. I hope this comment ages poorly and they bring back its original functionality, but seriously. Mojang has got to stop pulling stuff like this.
  • @mushroom-Lover
    I would say probably adding some wolf variants definitely helped a little bit with the controversy😂
  • I don't know if it's just me but in my opinion, there must be an update to The End somewhere! Like to think about going to the End Cities only to get Shulker boxes and Elytras, it feels like there's so much to be out there missing.
  • I still wish there would be an end update. There are very few reasons to go to the end after beating the dragon, and I feel like floating islands above the void have so much potential

  • @Solar_Firedawn
    Anyone else notice the like button lights up at 6:52 when he mentions it? At least on pc
  • @umochi5122
    the temperature would be instantly put to 0 if we either got a new dimention or an ACTUAL end update.
  • @Cyancat123
    To be clear, people have been saying "This is THE END of Minecraft!!!1!1!!!" since forever. Even if Mojang does screw this up it would be very difficult to put the game in the ground indefinitely.
  • @FumB4711
    tbh i voted for the sniffer having high expectations bc new ancient flowers sounded very cool and i thought to myself: "hey i could manage to build something nice out of it". well we got only 2 flowers and for that the vote was not expected on my side and i hoped for more flowers with more diversity
  • Thanks for making the video fully captioned and enjoyable without sound! (I'm watching at work 😂)
