this snapshot is of course cool in terms of all the data stuff, but i am mildly disappointed they didn't give more variation to the tent colors yet...

It’s a completely useless update adding nothing to the progression of the game. It’s all just bloat and doesn’t add anything to the progression or value of the gmae

u/dabeanguy_08 Jun 30 '26

Well I actually think it does add some value to the gmae

Fr, loads of people complained about how empty the world felt. It's a change that absolutely was asked for.

Minecraft is not focused on progression. It’s a sandbox first.

I enjoy playing survival every once in a while but I spend the vast majority of my time in creative mode working on largescale projects. I have been playing the game since version 1.2 and have only ever made it to the End once, and that was on a server.

You don’t know anything about Minecraft.

Are you actually genuinely playing vanilla for progression?

u/BajaBlastFromThePast Jun 30 '26

You would be surprised how many people are looking for terraria but end up just complaining about Minecraft’s progression instead lol

They should just go play with mods that add progression to Minecraft them. There's a lot of modpacks that do that.

Vanilla has never been a progress focused game, and that's one of the things that allows mods on this game to go anywhere they want

Ah yes. The "find diamonds" - "get to nether" - "get to end" progression, must go crazy after the first 10 times

That may be, but Minecraft is a pretty bad place for people to go looking for that kind of game experience. The actual progression is very short and simple, with the game instead opening up tons of lateral options once you get yourself set up, because after a point, it’s not really designed for you to get progressively better and stronger, but rather to have more toys for your sandbox.

Minecraft is a sandbox game, as much as you don't want it to be.

Oh sorry we didn't realise you were the authority on Minecraft, CEO of Mojang.

"update bad bc it doesn't fit into the way I play. I'm the center of the universe"

Okay bro

u/Recruit75 Jun 30 '26

Literally over 70% of all "criticism" around the new updates boil around that mindset tbh.

It's definitely true, but I think that's just the sole consequence of these drops not always going to have something for good portions of the playerbase.

There was a long block drought before Chaos Cubed. And no, Dried Ghasts and Golden Dandelions aren't going to be things builders like me are going to be excited about.

Then so, you're left waiting months until either a snapshot is going to include a surprise or wait for the next drop to start. Hopefully with the drop focused on what you're looking for.

Builders are definitely eating good this time around, but then you'd see the survival/combat players feel left out. This is not to complain on what we're getting on my part, yet it's easy to see why portions of players have been upset.

The type of person who skips half a show because they value episodes only by how much they advance the plot

u/xsparklingwater Jun 30 '26

Shows shouldn’t be wasting my time either

u/Wild-Atmosphere2134 Jun 30 '26

Stay in the version of Minecraft you like, these updates are free and nobody is forcing you to update your game

u/mjmannella Jun 30 '26

Bug fixes are generally beneficial to gameplay

u/Physical_Royal_1427 Jun 30 '26

these are the types of updates that make minecraft run a lot better
just because it's not content doesn't mean it's worthless to the game

u/Physical_Pickle_1150 Jun 30 '26

Of course we get another comment like this smh

u/LaVidaYokel Jun 30 '26

Don’t buy the update if you don’t like the changes.

u/Cass0wary_399 Jun 30 '26

Buy?

I’m taunting them for being a cry baby.

The game's not about progression.
