Actually, Mojang Is NOT Lazy

- Mojang has been in controversy these recent years due to their updates just being delayed promises and underwhelming. But what's with them taking so long to make an update? And should we be very hard on them for it? Probably so.
There's also one thing I forgot to say but I don't believe I know it too much to talk about it in this video. That being the corporate structure within Mojang. Since it's something that only the people who work in it would know but all I know is that this structure also delays the update even further as the higher-ups have to approve these ideas before being considered which of course adds a lot of wasted time.
Why is Mojang So Lazy?! I don't know man, many youtubers like TheMisterEpic, PhoenixSC, Jet Starfish and many others have tried to know what goes in within the company but its still unknown. - Ігри
I guess I just find weird how Mojang doesn’t seem to acknowledge big parts of the community’s insatisfaction torwards these lackluster and honestly barren updates.
Yeah, its just broken promises and whatnot. It sucks for both the players as they are let down by these lackluster updates and the people in Mojang who are losing reputation for these promises that seems too unrealistic for them too.
@@StromotoI almost don’t wanna subscribe, the number 888 is just too satisfying.
They take nearly a year to produce a update that should only have taken no more than three months,not to mention they try to hide their laziness behind claims such as,” we won’t add aggressive wild animals because people will kill them in real life”.They know they are simply to lazy to update the game so they pretend doing their job will cause kids to go hunt sharks.
@@StromotoIt’s a mix of laziness and Microsoft’s incompetent decisions to produce spin offs that will fail rather than updating and improving the main game.Every aspect of Minecraft legends besides the gameplay could have been in the nether update/wild updates or a different update.
To be fair minecraft dungeons was pretty good,but i get your point.@@jamainwilkins5100
I think they are overly cautious of new ideas to the point it ironically inhibits creativity. If Mojang really wants to do something that won't effect the game they should work on optimizing it to the level modders already have. Maybe adding a official mod loader. They are indeed lazy but I think it's worse to be walking on eggshells because they're scared of doing something that upsets people which in the process makes lack laster content that upsets people. Minecraft dungeons proved someone at Mojang has the creative ideas but you just don't see it being used on the main game. It's like watching a free mobile game of your full paid game get more cool ideas and updates.
Honestly, it's not that they're "lazy" or have necessarily been releasing lower quality content, it's that the whole studio is incompetent when it comes to game design. Here's an example: the most fundamental concept to the survivalcraft genre (that you kinda mentioned in the video) is that content within the game must have different uses for different players according to how it's obtained and how common it is, and the content must have interactions with other content in the game.
Using this mindset it becomes clear why some content has been so awful while others have been so loved, such as with the last update and scutes; turtle scutes are already a niche item that's hard to collect, from a mob that only serves that niche purpose in gameplay, and are only used for the turtle helmet (and potion but we don't talk about that), another incredibly specific item most players will never even want to touch. So now that we have this item that's essentially bloatware, from a mob that's roughly the same, what should Mojang do next? The obvious answer would be to give it more uses, and the last update would have been the perfect opportunity to do so with dog armor. But instead they add a whole new niche mob with a niche drop that never needed to happen, just exacerbating the issue modern Minecraft has with bloat. Same thing with copper - an ore that is so incredibly common should have much more use than it does.
It just seems crazy to me how they just keep messing that basic idea up again and again, especially when they seem so careful about things like the guidelines you mentioned.
Never got copper discourse because maybe I’m normally around another part of the community in which Copper is one of the most used and loved blocks, yea it’s kinda useless in survival but its top 10 building material
I will never understand why the Torch Flower doesnt emit light………
1 update a year sucks regardless
True it does seem annoying especially since its been 9 months since we last got a major update
I think one of the biggest issues with the game right now is that its core is starting to show its age. Way back when it first released it was a true sandbox, with an emphasis on making stuff rather than exploring or fighting stuff. Fast forward to modern Minecraft and we see a shift in what content is added. We have new biomes, dimensions, dungeons and mobs, all serving to spice up the adventure and exploration side of Minecraft. There in lies the problem, at its core, Minecraft isn't an adventure game, its core systems just weren't designed around it.
In other adventure games you can get items or abilities that, not only increase or modify your performance, but changes how you approach problems. Some are basic, like items that allow you to hit harder or move faster, other are more exiting, such as new abilities or conditions that change the way you do something. In Minecraft there isn't really a great variety of these things, sure you can get better armor and tools with enchantments, but they don't spice up or change how the game is played. This in its self isn't a problem, as long as the core mechanic is fun. This isn't the case in Minecraft. You sit and spam M1 behind a shield till the thing in front of you stops being a problem.
In other adventure games there are often abilities or items that offer special or unique effects. Some of the only items that spring to mind in Minecraft are the Elytra and Totems of Undying. While these items aren't generic "better things", they still have problems. Totems are just a safety nets that do nothing else other than delay/cheat death. Elytra are locked to the end of the game... The point where many players stop playing usually.
If Mojang want to keep pushing the adventure side of Minecraft, there will need to be massive (and I mean massive) changes to the base experience. The simple progression we have now isn't enough, there needs to be more or better versions of it. Changes to combat, something that makes it more engaging, fun or unique. In short, I see a crossroads ahead: Does it become an adventure sandbox like Terraria or does it stay true to its original roots as an Sandbox first?
On top of that, the decision to have a strong sense of parity between versions is also holding Mojang back. They can't simply just make any grand changes or ideas since there is no guarantee what works on Java will work on other versions. After all, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link...
TL,DR: Its trying to be an adventure sandbox without committing to the adventure part. Also Other versions are causing slow down in the pipeline.
i think the planks having the same texture just recoloured is a good thing, it makes it way easier to build while mixing them
The day after I die:
Mojang fixes the inventory
Ahem* bedrock is not updated at the same time as Java. It takes months and for the Nether update almost a year just to get it.
My Most loved Minecraft update would be the 2020 Easter update,
Let me Explain
You Have Books, which you can Throw into Nether Portals so that you can Go to random Dimensions
There are some Dimensions which look Weird, like the Wither World
, Ship land, bobs house, ect
To me, it is still enjoyable
But also, you still can beat the game
Never tried that update out, Mojang has some of the wackiest april fools updates I've seen and I want to try all of them out sometime.
@@Stromoto those snapshots are buggy
Got your channel in recomendations. Thought it was a 50k youtuber minimum as for video quality, good job. I wish you luck. keep going! :)
I have been seeing alot of comments like these for a while, just wandering if y'all are bots or not
@@makuronie5330 nope, just a good content
@@Alex-iq5iu Alright, I just found it odd that there are alot of similar comments. Good to hear theyre genuine
Absolute goated edits man. Amazing video 😃
You forgot one of the biggest reasons why they don't add a lot of new stuff and gameplay into Vanilla Minecraft.
Minecraft Marketplaces.
they have a different team for that so thats false
990th sub, nice. Hope you reach 1k soon, dude.
Thanks a lot!
In the clip where you found one suspicious sand, there’s more in the desert temple it’s just you didn’t search properly, it’s not important but I wanted to mention it lol
Yeah I noticed that after I made the vid and checked the temple again because I thought I had the unluckiest temple spawn but nope its just that I didn't know the other suspicious sand's location.
Trying to focus on as wide of an audience as possible while also making the exploration expect bigger and bigger for the last few years is peak hypocricy. Thanks to new updates you now have to spent hours exploring the nether to get the best gear, explore the overworld for hours for the blocks you want, explore hours to find the new dungeons and new content and so forth.
Exept you explore to get stuff that has diffrent uses for diffrent parts of the community, how is that "peak hypocrisy" when the community's reaction to the mace nerfs is just hypocrisy in its purest?
Low amount of update features is probably also to keep minecraft "minecraft". Adding tons of stuff every few months will quickly bloat the game
damn this such an underrated channel
Mojang cannot properly implement these ideas to begin with,
for example, trims, its stupid as hell but its fine as an idea to not 'disrupt' the game, however the way they implemented it (and the way it goes against minecraft's premise of 3 rocks + 2 sticks = fully formed pickaxe) is god awful.
A normal, fully functioning, non-ginger dev would have done this:
When placing an armor piece in the anvil, or even smithing table, and than placing a desired material, it will output the armor with the trim, and above the output field, is a box with arrows left or right to select which one you want.
There, that is quite literally the most 'minecraft' way to do it, make it not awful, and still fit within the idea of the game, something mojang is quite literally incapable of doing.
Another example, Wardens
Firstly I'm not 7, Mojang needs to remember the game is E for *everyone* , so the mob is some garbage to bait children and youtubers to make a video on it for a year before being forgotten, anyways, ignoring its garbage design and sounds, the entire concept of 'sound' in the game is extremely stupid, considering it doesn't apply to anything else, forced stealth in a game where literally every other single enemy can see you isn't fun, what would be better is, say, making the Warden's view box (cause that is inherently what it is, it's just a conditional view box) smaller, and have it wonder up and down the halls of the ancient city, this provides once more, a clear indication of where it is, it puts it inline with other mob behavior, and also isn't as stupid as 'make sound and just spawn it', also remove their ability to attack through *solid* blocks, once more, an indication that they have no clue what they're doing.
Your point with the warden makes no sence as they can already sniff you, secondly no mobs apart from the warden even spawn in ancient cities or deep dark biomes and thirdly the cities being stealth themed is a good thing as it forces you to imrovise and actualy be careful with what you are doing, only problems with the deep dark is the loot should be better and the biome and structure should actualy be scary to explore
do you think you'll keep making videos? I'd love to see more
got uni rn so maybe in the summer. I got an interesting vid that I plan to cook on when I'm done
best underrated minecraft video, EVER
Underrated ah youtuber fr
Such an underrated channel! keep going bro
Those who try please Mojang so they won't get banned by chat reporting is unimaginably stupid
Chat report changed NOTHING, it literaly changed so little that it straight up faded into irrelevancy because it wasnt a big deal at all, especially when most multiplayer servers already use plugins so nothing is stopping them from just disabling the report with a plugin
W Video Stromoto 🔥keep up the content 💯
because april fools update the developers can unwind and unleash their creativity.
However chances are that they are all experimental features people played around with while they were programming and developing ideas.
I wouldnt blame the devs for any of it. Start with the project manager, The PM ties the devs hands and then those above the PM ties that persons hands.
April fools update is literally probably a bunch of crap they had on the side, like experimental features they wanted to throw out in the update, and a bunch of random crap. Stuff that would likely never hit the end game, OR they could be using the test out a few things.
yea mojang has been slacking
Yes they are lazy. I'm to tired to pretend they aren't. Modders doing their job in a day.
modders use fabric and forge which makes everything easier. Most modders use mcreator (A program to make mods) and doesnt care if the features they add are buggy etc. They also can remove features when mojang cant (mojang adds a feature and it will stay in the game they cant remove it)
@@fldom4610 I don't think anybody would be mad if they would use that as well lol
@@maxderholzrusse do you even know what your saying? its just a REALLY BAD thing to use a third party software to make the updates...
@@fldom4610 but.. what is the reason for that bruh
@@maxderholzrusse because people will call mojang more lazy. And mojang has their way and that doesnt have to change
Mojang has to be burnt out, ive seen small modding teams compiled of people who have a little bit of freetime put out better content than mojang, regardless of the game. Mojang is a million dollar company being outperformed by average joes on their lunch break.
mojang isn't lazy, it's just super busy developing and cooking every year a masterpiece of an april fools update
Mojang out here making minecraft 2 whenever they feel like it on every april fools.
@@Stromotoapril fools is the only time where mojang could update it freely since is not gonna add to main game no wonder why is always huge
so good points... but i would still say they are lazy. and if not lazy then under efficient. Minecraft is the "biggest" game, it has sold hugely and still sells and Mojang is owned by Microsoft so if I were in a situation where making updates is difficult and slow and coming up with new ideas is difficult I would hire more employees A LOT more coders etc and considering the Mod culture around the game, mojang would certainly find a lot of people willing to help. + it's their own fault for spreading themselves so thin by releasing the game on so many platforms. - I personally hate how Mojang seems to add new features ... and then leave them halfway... instead of properly deepening them. Minecraft is full of so much wasted potential but they don't do anything with it. + they should make updates that would make changes widely. and not only such updates where they only apply to one Biome, etc. The Nether update was great, they should make more updates like that instead of small updates, I wouldn't complain if it took longer if every update was as big and bold as the Nether update... + Mojang should add Copper tools! as well as more Ores and unique items to find in the ruins. We need a new dimension badly or an update to End.
Firstly i really like your video it was really nice and chill.
Well i like the Bedrock-Java argument much. But it shouldn't be a problem if largest company in the world owns you and you work on best game of all time (by sold copies) Like its funny day after mojang anounces mob vote there are lots of videos of mods that actually implement all 3 mobs of the mob vote.
Your argument with that they need to think changes more then twice is true. I dont know if they ever removed something (exept herobrine :DDD). Minecraft in my opinion should be small easy game without complicated aditions and have something from every genre. From this point i will talk about minecraft 1.12.2 you have 2 dungeons, Basic redstone, Basic farming, Lot of building blocks (because i think mc is build around creativity), Basic weapons, Basic commands, Basic enemies ect. If its not enough for player he can install mods to add to these genre's for example. You want RPG minecraft with lots of monsters bosses dungeon exploring ? Install some mods or try modpack like hexxit. If you want to make industsrial revolution and face its consequences :DDD add to your mc Industrial Craft mod or Create in newer versions. You want to build, you can istall lot of mods that add blocks. If you want to farm, there is pam's harvestcraft and more. Like If you want to make from basic minecraft sandbox game something more, you can. I think with newer versions they dont add new mechanics but new blocks or change the old ones. Like I like the new villagers whole 1.14 ubdate is amazing or 1.16 nether ubdate was good. But the others ? I think im only one that doesnt really like caves and cliffs ubdate. It added one thing that we wanted from minecraft for all these years but i thought myself. Is this the minecraft that i want ? The basic chilly game. And then it hit me. I think that best ubdate for minecraft would be something like Minecraft Final edition. What ? I want minecraft to end it ubdates ? Yes. I think what minecraft needs is final ubdate that will add mod manager, makes making mods in java easier on change programming language. Maybe add some features that are absolutely new and something we never seen like redstone before. I think this would be ideal minecraft form. Basic game that lets you as a player change it and play it as you want like no other. Imagine that if you would want to join RLcraft server. Your minecraft client wouldnt tell you that you cant play it because you dont have mods but it would give you option to dowload them right now and play without needing to istall them manually ! And if they wanted to add new contet they could make their own expanding packs. Why not ? I thinks this is the best ending for minecraft. I dont know if anyone will read my comment. But if you liked my idea or not tell me what you think about it. Thank you.
thank you for saying the wild update was good, even without the birch forests or fireflies it was still a good update :)
I personally think its good just because of the warden and the ancient city
@@Stromoto fair opinion, they are amazing, but frogs are cool too
To answer your question, the reason why the april fools updates are full of content and random ideas is because Mojang has free control over them. I know that sounds strange, but its true. Microsoft has full control over everything Mojang does, which includes the content they add to the game. If they feel like something is too big of an addition or might anger some people, they scrap it. Why do you think most of the updates added since Mojang was sold are "random content updates" that dont change the game as a whole in any real way. These updates are going to stay in the game forever and will effect the image of Minecraft. April fool updates are played for about a month then forgotten about, and are labeled as "snapshots", never "1.20" or "1.16.5". So they arent even seen as updates, just random ideas that could ( but wont ) be added to the game. So Microsoft doesn't care what goes into them.
Anyway great video.
That's not how corporate owners work, if they have full control of one update, they have it over all, the only thing they make them do is 'make money', imagine going to nintendo and going 'Mr CEO, can we add birds to legend of zelda and a new texture?", he would straight up engage in a samurai fight and behead you.
Nice TheMisterEpic reference when asking for subs
Bruh lazy people are the most resourceful people
I think they are lazy in terms of textures and building blocks as you said most of them are the same with different colours but also really good at what they do because what they add in each update feels more polished and high quality than mods
The company also I heard gives a lot of free time which is fine. It seems that because look at slicedlime
thats like saying a block is a retextured block (yes i seen someone actually say this)
@@fldom4610 wow
Mojang isn't lazy and main reason might be bcuz they treat their employees like human and not slaves. Activision, epic games and many more gaming companies exploit their employees and promote the crunch culture in between their developers and they are treated bad but Mojang treats their employees like humans and if you tell these people calling Mojang is lazy to work on the yearly call of duty game they will say that Activision will treat them sh!t and they won't like to work there but bcuz they don't research they just call Mojang lazy bcuz they don't want employees to overwork and thinks that the employees shouldn't be treated like a slave.
Resourceful
The bamboo/TNT thing is resourceful, since they would normally have a similar look but still look, feel and function COMPLETELY differently. The woods are way too excessive, they pretty much spam them every update lately.
Mojang are lazy though, their update quality has dropped drastically since 1.16 and they've consistently lied, overpromised and underdelivered since. Also, their nonsensical design philosophy directly contradicts the game, and animal design for example has directly become worse because of it.
Yes exactly, what design philosophy is:
"We can't change the game... let's add a brand new feature for a single mob to force stealth onto the player in a game where mobs can detect your presence in any condition, that'll surely be fun!", or the "Hmmm, Trims need to be realistic, so, let's add trim items to the game that are needed to apply a trim because black smiths do it in real life! that way, after you take 8 pieces of diamond and fuse it together on a wooden block, you can realistically apply a trim to it, because logic!"
@@doctorgrubious7725 minecraft doesnt have to be realistic
No, they're lazy, terraria small updates are 018438 times better with only 10 devs, now Minecraft has more than that and can't add fireflies
They also removed fireflies for the dumbest reason too which sucks. They seem like they want to not accidentally give kids the impression that frogs can eat fireflies. But if thats the case, why would they not add sharks into the game even though dolphins kinda are similar, if not worse, in terms if how they are? Sometimes i dont get mojang, even when im trying to give them the benefit of a doubt.
I disagree about Minecraft being lazy, I think it’s always the greedy whiners who can’t face the fact that it’s just a game, thus if they were to be lazy this “game” wouldn’t even exist
@@LazyLemon-bi5wo the game wasn't made by lazy people, it's not being mantained by lazy people, people like you is why mojang get lazier by the day, you just eat anything they throw at you, even if it's just raw chicken
@@trlwaifulover7593people who just whine and dont give any constructive criticism without spewing hate are the REAL problem here, mojang isnt lazy, they are suffering from a case of bureaucracy that is only further increased by the community's inability to properly communicate their problems without straight up insulting the devs
@@Stromotofireflies arent removed, they are SHELVED because they want to actualy give them a use but cant think of a proper one, who knows, maybe the firefly will look completely diffrent entirely when it actualy gets in the game(source is the "how we make minecraft" frog video), as for the case of them not adding sharks: the movie "jaws" straight up increased hunting sharks so mutch that the literal creator of the movie regrets it, mojang are justified not taking any risks here

Dude your video is good quality in regards to visuals but in regards to your arguments its trash bruh. Mojang is a multi million dollar company that has a full year for their hundreds of employees to come up with a good update. They have all the people, time, and resources to make it happen yet all the come out with is armor for a dog that you will never actually interact with. Like bruh wtf is the glow squid. Kill a couple of them and never interact with that mob ever again. Sniffer? Go on a whole expedition to find the egg, hatch it over several days, and then wait for it to grow so that it can give you....... a seed. Its shameful. Dont try to clickbait ppl with this video title if you dont actually have good points lol. Your video style, music/audio, and visuals are great, just have a good video idea bruh. This is meant to be constructive criticism, hope you take it well and improve. You have potential 😃.
Thanks, I appreciate it! While i agree that some point didnt seem very strong, theres a point that i found out that actually sounds reasonable. A java modder (from a vid i forgot its name on) saying how mojang devs have to go up through so many approvals within the company which not only takes time but also may waste a lot of time if it doesn’t get approved. They also say that the company is actually under hired (which shocked me cause mojang has 600 employees) but take it how you will
@@Stromoto yeah i agree but this also doesnt mean that mojang is working hard 24/7 it just means they have bad management and strict restrictions that halt their progress. Still just an issue that they can fix to easily add more things to the game in each update. Thanks though
You gotta appreciate how they have design principles against minecraft being affected in a negative way, but even so 1.20 was lack luster.
Well that's wrong since their environmentalist mentality directly contradicts the entire game's design. Animal design for example has directly become worse because of it.
i think 1.21 is enough for a good update
You don't understand making a feature or mobs and biomes etc. is not easy it will take a month and year to make so that's why update takes long also they will test it first to see if there's bug and glitch and it will take more time the only problem on dev is they don't listen to there community recommendations
