    Let me know your thoughts about the Elytra in the comments, are you on the mostly positive side or among those who think it's too problematic? I also plan to try out a few new editing techniques over the next videos. I'm also trying a few new things in general, such as getting other people to help/learn editing from, the intro is edited in collaboration with Jakub! Do let me know how the video quality is overall!
  • @cherubin7th
    I would like a rail buff. Rail cannot replace the elytra because it is not flexible, you have to build it first, so they could coexist.
  • @tidalbow8969
    The main problem is the progression in Minecraft - it's too fast and too easy. No one uses leather armor, horses or camels in the early game because it's better to just get some iron, build a nether portal and start mid-game, and also no one uses mine carts or the recovery compass because it's better to just get some diamonds and find the end portal.
  • @randomwowjunkie
    I use rails not because they're fast or cheap, but because they're automatic. I love being able to jump in a minecart, hit a button and just put down the controller while I enjoy the scenery.
  • @c0kane250
    I've always wished the mine cart with a furnace acted like a train engine. So you could hook up to it and go faster but at the cost of coal.
  • @holyslaya1645
    A buff to rails would actually be really cool, it never made sense to me why they were so... slow...
  • @sterben5405
    buffing ice boats or rails wouldn’t create a need to buff elytras since elytras still would require no setup like placing rails or ice, elytras would be optimal for short to mid range transportation or for exploration while rails and ice boats would be best for frequently visited far locations
  • @itsmeazzy4488
    Tbh, as much as I love the Elytra, the Minecart railway is still my favourite mode of transport. It may be slower and it's a hassle to build rails but it's so fun watching the view as you ride the minecart without thinking too much about controlling
  • Rails should you allow to make a whole train, with a locomotive wagon and attach as manny wagons with chest as you want, it would make the rail transport more "overpowered" but in a different sense, instead of allowing for a fast way of travel it should allow you to move a shitton of materials in one go from one place to another, bulk transport. The same with boats, there should be some way to upgrade the boats in increasing their cargo capacity.
  • @starofaetherius
    I think i ended up roughly where the devs intended the elytra's use to be. Im a worldbuilder, i like building towns and infrastructure. So i will build roads, decorated nether highways, railroads, whatever between places. But i use the Elytra while i build those things or to scout out new places, gather resources like sand, whatever.
  • as a general enjoyer of weird and unintended game mechanics punch 2 bow + elytra was truly something
  • @carroteer
    even after all these years elytra still feels like im playing modded
  • @TheLegend-jr9ng
    I personally use ice boats the most since they are much better than any other means of transport especially on the nether roof Most of the time when i use elytra is for constructions, going vertical heights up fast until i make a bubble elevator or something Also elytras didn’t make the game worse they just made endgame much faster paced, increased the limits ect
  • @Wayrail
    while minecarts and building minecart tracks are fun, i do think they could do with a way to make them faster, maybe a special kind of minecart or a super powered rail. i'd argue that they are the most expensive to set up in the game, and it would be nice if players were rewarded a little more for creating something with rails.
  • @TheBlackWaltz
    I have a simple buff. Let rockets propel boats and minecarts at a similar pace. And make add storage to boats and minecarts by default. Get a cheat worth of space. They wont replace the elytra. But they would see more use.
  • @dylanwight5764
    In my thirteen years of enjoying this wonderful game, I've finished it once. And that was as a result of a team effort during school lunch breaks. I have never seen an elytra in the wild. I've never manufactured fireworks. But I also remember the days of fishing rod and boat travel, so... I guess what I'm saying is that formalizing mechanics into end-game content shouldn't be a controversial decision.
  • I just want trees to be have higher leaves, so horses can actually ride underneath them. Maybe an easier way to let the horse or mindcarts travel water too. Or a way to make railing and minecarts a bit easier, since it is so grindy/costly in materials
  • @xavibun
    I don't mind the elytra because you can only obtain it in the endgame after you already defeated the ender dragon at least once.
  • horses and boats are for early game traveling. The elytra and rails should be for late game, rails for paths that you make for usually and could use a faster travel, and elytras for overall movement
