If they do indeed decide to make a magic update, I think one of the main things they should focus on would be making enchantments more horizontal than vertical. I want more enchantments to be like silk touch or fire aspect, in that they have unique uses and bonuses, but these are circumstantial and are less significant or may even be a hinderance depending on what you use them for. Stuff like sharpness, which is just a plain bonus with no drawback, should be scaled back imo, with the base weapons being strengthened to make up for the lack of these addition(fun fact: diamond swords used to deal 10 damage, but this was nerfed when enchantments were introduced) I would also like to see them make it so that gold became more of a proper "enchantment" material. Right now it is more enchantable, sure, but the way this manifests is through unintuitive algorithms, and this enchantability only applies to the enchanting table, not the anvil, whose mechanics are in itself unintuitive too. I think a simple "enchantability cap", depending on the material, would work way better: each tier of gear can store a certain "amount" of enchantments, and if an anvil combination would surpass this then the combination can't be made.
I think it would be interesting if gold had a special feature of having a higher enchantment level with each enchantment. "Sharpness 6, unbraking 2, fortune 4" something that no other tool can get but gold
Fun fact: Sharpness did already get scaled back in the 1.9 update, although it would be nice if it got scaled back even more if it mean other/new enchantments could take it’s place
@@agentpaint well, the issue isn't really that "sharpness stands in the way of getting more interesting enchantments", but that enchantments like sharpness aren't really a choice, but a no-brainer; the only circumstance where you wouldn't have sharpness on your sword is if you're primarily gonna be fighting undeads and want smite instead. The issue I see with this is that it makes enchantments a "next tier" in progression, rather than something which unlocks new possibilities in playstyle,.
The fact that the Illager Runes from MC Dungeons were added to the files in the 1.18 snapshots only supports the idea of a magic update for me. It really feels like a neo-Galactic Alphabet to me, and it might end up playing a visual role in some of the new systems.
I absolutely love the idea of a new writing system for Minecraft - we already have the "human" languages (possibly what Steve and Alex speak?), as well as the more magic-based languages, like the SGL (enchanting tables). I personally love the idea of a bunch of new languages like the pillager rune, maybe even a fleshing out of the villager hmm system? There's so much potential and I love it.
Hot take: repairing should not cost XP at all. Mending currently removes almost any need for repairing. And mods like Tinkers show that repairing tools with materials is a fun gameplay loop.
@@blahthebiste7924 Or it should take a fixed amount of experience perhaps depending on how much enchantments it has. Like an unenchanted item will require no exp, an early game enchanted item will cost just a few but eventually mending will become an optimal enchantment in endgame. Right now, the pressure to get mending as quickly as possible to secure your tools is really annoying.
@@friendlyfinn2363 The cost continues to rise and eventually it becomes unrepairabale (once it crosses level 40, it simple says Too Expensive). I believe the rising cost is the issue which can be easily fixed.
Magic update sounds like its much needed. The meta of kidnapping villagers to farm mending books is getting stale. More enchantments to spice up the end game as well so not everyone has the exact same enchantments on their armor and weapons. More mutually exclusive enchants like Frost Aspect vs Fire Aspect would be cool
I see Mending kind of almost killed enchanting. It now becomes a thing where unless you lose your stuff, once you get the perfect gear you never need to enchant again. Back in the day when you didn’t know what you were going to get from an enchantment table and you couldn’t trade for books enchanting was extremely tedious however did add for more interactions with the system. I honestly think villagers are just too powerful.
i hate breaķing and placing the block so the trade changes randomly, if there was a way maybe a little harder but less tedious to pick what enchament you want, that could change the meta but allow you to chose between easy tedious work or a harder but better rewarding, if they add more enchanments, the enchanted book pool would be bigger effectively nerfing villagers as they have even more choices of books to pick
Something I'd personally love to see is total biome variance with everything. Everything from cows, to pigs, to zombies have unique visual variants. Cows in mountains may be fluffier looking than the generic plains cows, pigs in forest may look like wild hogs and even attack players, zombies get jungle variants that move faster over leaves but slower over solid ground, Skeletons get an aquatic variant that instead of shooting arrows drags the player toward them with a tendril of kelp, Drowned in Warm Ocean biomes are covered in kelp and coral growths. A mix of purely aesthetic changes, changes with slight gameplay differences (Husks), and stuff that's radically different from it's generic form. There'd be some exceptions, cats don't have much reason to have unique variants, Mooshrooms, Ocelots and other biome exclusive mobs have no business looking different outside their respective biomes, Endermen don't come from the overworld so wouldn't be subject to it. It'd be a challenge to implement, but I think it'd give so much variety to MC's ultimate strength: it's exploration. Especially if there were gameplay changes to the mobs. Maybe wolves that spawn in Taiga biomes form bigger packs and attack cows instead of sheep. Polar Bears on Frozen Oceans could be made hostile, whereas Polar Bears in tundra biomes could be neutral. And so much more.
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy Having greater variation between current mobs and mobs added in the future would help get rid of repetitiveness as you wouldn't be seeing the same thing over and over again in different biomes
the biggest issue with xp and its use for me is that enchanting and repairing always take levels instead of xp, meaning the higher level you are, the more you pay for doing that. sure, it always costs 3 levels to to a max enchant, but 3 levels can be drastically different amounts of exp, depending on your level.
Yeah, it encourages you to keep your level at around 30 which means you can't enchant very quickly. Unless you make an XP farm which gives you so much that you don't need to conserve it
Personally I'd like it if instead of turning into a zombified piglin if struck by lightning, a pig would turn into a zoglin. As well as turning into a hoglin if it found itself in the nether, maybe even turning back into a pig if reintroduced to the overworld
As someone who hosts an smp I’d really like to see more communal things to bring players together. More boses, ruins, I’m not sure but a lot of players end up getting too bored when all that’s left to do is build. Would be cool if there was castle ruins with useful loot and actual tough mobs, boses for a group of 4 or so
@João Paulo De Melo fighting bosses and exploring ruins is exploring oriented though? Sounds like a lame excuse for the lack if explorative content minecraft has.
What came to mind when reading this is what if there was some sort of challenege realms that had a limited area with dungeons and the like in them. Once you beat the challenege you return to your normal world with the loot and the realm gets deleted so that a new challeneg with a new seed can spawn in. I've noticed an issue with a lot of the dungeons, end cities etc is that they often become useless after you complete them. And then you have to travel out further so it makes it harder to find more. This new challenge realm portal would always directly take you to new unique dungeon like challenges
I find this a very valid suggestion. Favourite things to do are tto loot Woodland mansions with friends, enderpearl across the end with friends, and loot bastions with friends. It's just that there's not really a point to do so after successfully having done it once.
I'd probably say a farming update. The farming system in minecraft is very "set and forget" and while I think they shouldn't make the system stray too far away I think there is various things to do to make farming more fun. Benefits to making humane animal pens, more plants from different dimensions, talking and tending to plants(weeds and stuff; nothing to slowdown the growth just removing them to make them grow faster), different foods giving different short lived buffs, actual meal crafting like spices and food combinations, maybe even different types of fertilizers made from the composter block
Well there is also the idea of saletra as an ore, which would drop items which can be used as fertilizer or... together with sulfur (as another ore) and coal to create gunpowder. Which would pretty well fit with that. And I would really loved the idea of farming update and adding new plants, perhaps with different growth mechanic (well we have 4 already, but perhaps there could be more or more application to some most rarely used) . Also I would like to have tomatoes in Minecraft. And maybe some fruit trees (perhaps different would be possible to get in different biomes/accessible as saplings in structures WHEN they are in that biome... that would add another cool motivation to exploring more!)
@@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV The gunpowder idea is more than overdue. It's so weird that you absolutely can't obtain that stuff from anywhere except by killing witches or creepers. So you practically can't get it in larger quantities, unless you grind forever or build farms. Neither seem like something the devs intended for you to do. Especially since real gunpowder is easy to CRAFT in real life, it's made out of stuff you MINE, and half of the ingedients are already in the game.
@@Sercil00 well actually if we assume the recipe I proposed then we actually have one of 3 needed ingredients in the game (though I don't see that as much problem as both sulfur and saletra ores would make perfect sense and would be quite useful... also sulfur could be somewhat scarce in the overworld and quite common (at level similar to quartz or even bigger) in the nether)
I remember there was a Minecraft mod where if you ate too much of one food, the saturation it gives lowers. I feel like Minecraft could make a system similar to this.
the stronghold desperately needs some work. you wander through repeats of the same 3-4 rooms, maybe finding a chest every now and then until you find the portal. And what’s the final challenge between you and the end? A *silverfish spawner.* if silverfish were removed from the game, nobody would notice. I don’t think it should be made super difficult, as this is still a casual focused game, but some kind of challenge besides punching the occasional zombie until you randomly wander into the portal room is needed. Maybe the rooms could be revamped to be more unique? The library room is a great example of what they should be like. We need more unique room types! Maybe chests can contain a couple eyes of ender to encourage more exploration? Not enough to completely fill the portal since that would make the nether optional, but still enough to warrant actually exploring past the portal room
@@CabinetGremlin I would rather go in a diferent direction. Instead of adding things to the chests that you can already do. Make some resources uncraftable and make them available in the temples. Imagine if, for example, rading villages and libraries in the temples was the only source of books and you couldn't craft them yourself. That would be a reason to explore.
The issue with every update is that everyone wants something different. Some people will enjoy new updates will others will not. Some will ask for magic while others will still question how come we don't have as basic animal as a deer in a forest. There's no way to please everyone, but the game has to move forward trying to remain as non-niche as possible which is why we see biome updates being the cornerstone of most updates, they add new blocks, new mobs, new enemies and some new mechanics. After all there’s no better way to add these other than through a new biome. And importantly that’s why we explore the world.
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy Oh it was a little bit in a skit where they showed a list of possible Minecraft updates and I saw Miners Delight on the list, which sounded an awful lot like Farmers Delight.
Yes, I love that. Making a video like this ten months before the next minecon would just make me a bit sad because I’d realize we don’t have another one until many months later.
Little idea, maybe if you upgrade a villager to Master, you can do a "Commission" of some kind. Like, a librarian villager at Master level can be given emeralds in trade for a specific enchanted book, price based on how good the enchantment(s) is. Then they'll get to work on it, and the next day you'll either receive it, or a couple of it (also depending on how many emeralds you gave and how many of them you wanted). The old way is still there (placing the work station until it appears), but it'll be cheaper to commission them from a villager than from the old way since it required more effort to get to that stage, and also since you have to wait on it for a bit. And that can go for all villagers, like commissioning a stack of brick blocks from a stone mason, potions from a cleric, special arrows from a fletcher, etc etc. It's not a perfect idea by a long shot, but y'know, it sounded neat.
@@chewy99. yeah, we NEED new structures to add to these new caves besides those one-room houses for "dungeons" it has in the base game, my first apartment looks worst than those dungeons but their scope is still a small area they cover. I wouldn't mind an entirely new faction to go with it as well, perhaps even a hidden boss?
3:47 You mention "a very particular way", but you aren't using it. Always combine books before adding to a sword. The cost is based on how often an item has gone through the anvil, so if you have 3 books and 1 sword, you'd do best to put one book on the sword, and one book on the other book, and then put those books on the enchanted sword. That way you keep the total cost to a minimum. Also always enchant items in a table first, since that doesn't count towards anvil cost either.
I thought I heard that, but I watched antvenom's old video about getting max enchantments and he said to add each book one at a time starting with the highest level. I guess that must be out of date
I would like to see mojang really dial in on performance and similar things. Mods like optifine or sodium that outright boost FPS show that Minecraft can be optimized relatively quickly, as these kinds of mods already do it. I’d prefer to see sodium integrated, as sodium boosts FPS way better, and optifine has a lot of vanilla unfriendly mechanics like shaders support, zoom and dynamic lights, though I would like to see what mojangs take on dynamic lighting would be
Fun fact mojang at one point was going to absorb with optfine but the dev declined because they wanted to only use it for performance. Anyone who donated would lose their cape and they wouldn’t have added shaders or zoom or really anything that people do really enjoy optifine for
mojang wants and has said they'd like to add dynamic lights, the issue is that mc java's code is quite hard for it and requires a light systems rework, apparently
performance improvements are good but i wouldnt say "look at these experimental, buggy and potentially gamebreaking mods that take shortcuts that work for most but certainly not all" as a thing they need to add. how much these mods improve FPS and if they even work are all highly dependant on your system. they're great to have available but by no means vanilla ready. optifine is well known for being highly buggy especially with other mods. they have to balance performance with stability, accessibility, and work/time to return ratio's. I'm sure they can improve the game quite a bit if they had a few years of nothing but improving the game, but that would mean no other updates
@@Sopsy_Hallow Which is why if they did add some performance boosting options they should be just that..options. They can be in the option menu so you to choose if you want to use them! Or they could simply just optimize the game better and fix issues that cause tons of lag
*TRANSPORTATION UPDATE* seriously, almost all forms of transportation other than elytra need a pretty serious buff. And with such vast Minecraft worlds, and exploration becoming such an essential part of the game, it would be fun to have horses, minecarts, boats, and so many more forms of transportation actually become useful.
I personally never use elytra as it ruins the game and immersion for the civilizations I am building. Minecarts all the way, railroad systems! We need more of those. Features as feom Create with moving cart cotraptions would be ideal, if somewhat less vanilla
@@MonochromeChromosome I'd say elytra do have a use, but currently they're OP. Not because they shouldn't be, I think they are a very well designed item and have their place, but simply because all the other forms of transport are so _bad._ Which they have no right to be. IRL horses and trains are orders of magnitude faster than their Minecraft counterparts. Boats are hilariously basic - imagine if you could add engines or sails or make them larger. There are just so many improvements available that would make elytra obsolete without even having to change them.
Mojang is really trying to encourage exploration but because of how hard it is and the risk of losing all of your items and experience that come with it, you're deterred from it by the mechanics. Better movement options, more biome specific rewards with actually purposes (alternatively obtained from Wandering Traders), and a better way to recover your Items could really help it. I like how Emeralds can only be found underneath mountains, I wish they'd include similar mechanics to things.
@@Deadflower019 and the lack of useful structures and rewards for exploration in the over world doesn’t help. The only structures that effectively balance exploration, risk, and reward are pretty much nether fortresses and end cities.
I'm hoping the next update will be one that fleshes out the world a little more, adding archaeology and the other biomes that were promised in the first and maybe even second votes, although I understand if they would be burnt out by that and would prefer something more systems based rather than generation
Mojang has already mentioned an end update, and said that they didn't know what to do with it, as the end should be kept as a desolate area, and it is difficult to find a balance, as adding too much would ruin the desolate feeling and adding too little would feel like barely anything was changed.
I mean, if it's meant to be a desolate, hard area for post-endgame players they should add new structures but make them super rare, or maybe even not super rare but limited in quantity like the strongholds and super hard to beat. We can handle it.
OH! OH! OH! I know! How about Slow, Uninspired Stuff?! Yeah, i bet my money on that. I mean, no way we actually get substantial Stuff. We will get more Copper, which is mostly useless, we will get no new Systems like Pet-Diseases-and-Pet-Care, we will get nothing that matters. Blood-Moon? Iconic! Will not be in the game, cause who-cares! No matter how iconic and gameplay-improving Thirst is or how much sense more Dimensions make, we WONT GET IT. What do you expect though from the BIGGEST GAMEEEE? Nah, keep down youre Expectations. Mojang doesnt even know the biggest MC-UA-camrs or why do you think we have NO Vanilla-Menu-Options like 'Play the game as a pig' or 'as siamesic Twins' or 'Block Shuffle' or 'Death Shuffle'!? We want these but we dont get these.
I am beyond belief you actually called the update at the end lol... thought it was gonna be a weird video in hindsight but it ended up being like, exactly on point.
Honestly I want to see a magic system with as much versatility as redstone. Something with all the complexity of redstone, but with a more mystical system for people who want a different style of creativity. Minecraft's feature that sets it apart from many games is the ability to make something unique in its world and have those things persist, and I want to see magic systems that work like that
Oooh, yeah, like Noita. Although that would be *insane* so maybe a little less powerful, haha. But yeah, a spellcrafting system more like the Ars mods would be really neat.
If we take a look back on the days were we wanted a disenchanment table, they technically give us what we wanted but in another way and that's how minecraft works, they give the comunity what they want but no how they expect it to be so it is more creative. So we'll get an magic update one day and perhaps they make it better than what we tought
I'm a sucker for Spells and incantations that style of Magic and I know that's not Minecraft's Magic system but something magic that can be used like the Iceologer was going to be more like that and I was for it, they have the Evoker which does something similar, just those through some kind of Magic I'd be happy
I really feel enchanting is very obtose. Like why is fortune and looting separate enchants? and the same with flame and fire aspect. This severly diminishes the usefulness of enchanting books yourself
@@TEENYcharma You’re right, in fact it’s already been done by the Aether Mod! I’m not saying they shouldn’t add in an Aether dimension because it’s already a mod, I just personally think that at this point, the End would be more interesting to see. There’s a lot you can do with The Aether, but there’s also a lot untapped potential with the End. It’s a dimension that clearly has a story behind it, a story I really wanna see explored in the near future.
Mojang doesn't own the rights to that mod AFIAK. That's like saying "Well Minecraft could do a LOT with the twilight forest!" No, they really can't lmao
Besides the whole "Wild update" and of course the much needed "Parity update" I could totally see an update called "Magic and Monsters" Adding a new magic system/more ways to use/gain EXP while also retooling most of the hostile and passive mobs that have either been ignored or are in need of changes. Perhaps even adding new mobs/bosses to fight. A sudo-combat update even. could be cool :)
It could even be Allays! Imagine dying in a place just to find a bunch of Allays carrying and playing with your items. Do some music and they will kindly drop your items :)
The leveling system really needs to be updated imo, as well I wouldnt mind more things to use levels/exp on, cause after you get good enchantments on your gear you dont really use exp for anything. It could also allow them to make exp easier to get without you having a massive stockpile of it maybe.
For me, a biome update adding everything they’ve promised. They DID say the biome votes would get added at some point. Also imagine the vote ending with “Everything will get added”!
Well, your wish has been (somewhat) granted! Frogs, mangrove trees, and boats with chests! There's a lot of speculation that the rest of 1.19 is going to include at least one more of the biome vote's losers.
@@dr.penguin7934 honestly with the funding they have, im surprised they didnt promise like 1 more biome (they are adding the deep dark in 1.19 so thats 2 already) 3 seems like a good number, they could add one of the other loosers perhaps doing a vote over 2 -3 days for a revamp, i'd love a desert update or even a savannah update
i just want to say i ACTUALLY want this and i literally was telling my friends about it the other day. gives me something to do with an abundance of rotten flesh, can make big flesh pile or flesh house
@@WovenSpade My thoughts exactly! I think the rotten flesh blocks could have fly particle effects above them, and slow you down like soul sand when walked on.
@@WovenSpade Update: Working on it now. Assets are done, and I've managed to make a basic block, but need to learn more Java to give it any functionality.
When talking about magic, 3 mods come to my mind: Botania, Astral sorcery and Blood magic. Every single one of them feels like a game inside a game and I would LOVE if vanilla minecraft had its own version of it. Rewamped enchantment system, wands, magical spells, rituals could potencially change how we play the game. Also, the machanic of upgrading something, like we see with netherite, SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN. They could add many new materials that could be mined AND created with magic that could change items, give them benefits and drawbacks so neither is just flat out the best. Everyone could have their way to progress through the game. Simmilar system is in the Tinker's construct mod, where some tools mine faster, others have way longer durability or perform best in certain situations. Also, the fletching table. It asks for some use and such tool upgrade system would be perfectbto introduce it as a station to upgrade bows, arrows and crossbows.
they've talked before about copper armor maybe being sidegrady if they ever get a cool concept for it, hopefully we'll see some cool copper gear in the future that's both useful and not a "must get" sidegrades in games like minecraft are pog
just got around to watching this video now and you basically predicted the wild update! overall i still agree magic needs a revamp in the future though so nice video mate!
One problem with enchanting is that Minecraft is a game a lot about optimization/progression. When you enchant an item, if you mess up even a little you must start over from the beginning. This encourages strategies like villager trading halls which I like but are super unhealthy for the game and enchanting as a whole.
Combining a few ideas i’ve seen in the comments, it would be cool to have a more general type of ‘raid’ in the game. Perhaps a block or some magic summoning process (but of course not overly complicated) that makes many more mobs spawn in with slightly more lethality. Perhaps this could be the only situation where general mobs like zombies and skeletons can actually break (and maybe place?) blocks down, and this way its only able to happen due to the player initiating it. People want to build defenses and bulky structures and this gives them a reason to but also keeping it be the players choice. Maybe during this raid mobs also drop more xp, items, and have a higher chance of dropping their rare loot. And at the completion of the ‘ritual’ it could give a new or existing end game item. Perhaps part of this ritual involves wither skulls and this could be an alternative way to get a wither star? Or even it could drop an item where using it in your next ‘raid’ makes it harder? Maybe pooling together the drops of different end game boss fights will activate a Terarria like ‘hard mode’ with like a wither star, ‘raid’ drop, dragon egg, etc.
A big problem I have with Minecraft is that, in the late-game, I have no reason left to play. I play Minecraft for its survival gameplay. I love building pretty things, but I only do so to enhance my survival experience. Once I have enchanted netherite gear, elytra, and have beaten every boss, the only thing left to do is build. However, I have nothing left to build FOR. All enemies are a joke to fight and continuing to survive is just retreading content that offers no challenge. My new gear makes building a lot easier, but I have no reason to do it other than for the sake of itself. A big part of Minecraft survival is exploring for materials which is something that does help offer gameplay for the overpowered late-game player, but still doesn’t fix the problem. Why should I go out and collect these materials if what I’m building no longer serves me any use? I have no idea how to fix this without unsustainably stretching out progression. They can’t just keep adding new objectives because it doesn’t solve the problem- it only delays it. Anyone have ideas on how to create a gameplay loop that fixes this? Or is it a natural consequence that the game ends?
It feels like you play Minecraft rather for conquer then survival. Survival is unfortunately barely existing in Minecraft. I think your problem is more build-up in your preference - if you having fun only when you gaining more and defeating more, then you eventually end up having everything and there won't be any reason for you to do anything. I think there's no real fix for that, this approche is fundamentally broken. The only thing you can do is to make up some challanges for you. For example I like to play as a vegan sometimes. I also don't play with health regeneration anymore. But if your goal is to reach the end, then you will. And that will be also the end of your fun.
@@ravysel1258 You’re right! Another way I get fun out of the came is just being challenged. A lot of the time I have a good time not actually working towards anything and going through the loop of fighting monsters and building my base without upgrading my gear. I wish the normal monsters were hard enough to be engaging when I inevitably decide to progress. The answer is to just limit myself, but that means ignoring content. If there was a place to live where the everyday bad-guys didn’t get killed in two hits with maxed out equipment and I wasn’t virtually invincible I’d be very happy. The Nether comes close but doesn’t really cut it at a certain point. I’ve changed the behavior before to make stuff harder and that worked, but in a multiplayer setting its unfair to people who don’t play the game like me. It really is a problem inherent with my playstyle and not necessarily a fault of the game
All this considered, the only way to actually placate me is to have a parallel dimension to the overworld to vibe in once the overworld becomes too easy which 1. Is not coming any time soon and probably will never, 2. Would need to match the overworld in content (either new or just recycled generation from the overworld), 4. Would inflate world sizes 5. Would be an unreasonable amount of work for content that doesn’t add much value and very few players would touch
@@dibby4316 I would suggest you to learn how to enjoy non-challanging things. I don't mean "don't conquer", conquering is fun! There's just many other fun things. I personally don't really look into progress. When I do mining, I usually do it for fun - resources are just extra bonus.
The only people I see that never get tired of Minecraft are the ones who primarily use it to build. Freedom of building is what sets Minecraft apart from most other games, so it makes sense that they'd focus on that. You could try some other challenging survival games, or start a building project.
2:08 actually i'd argue that the ender dragon is far FAR too easy. Most people, even relatively unexperienced can beat it without any enchanted armor, let alone any armor at all. It would be really cool to see a revamp to the boss fight as an addition to a future end update. It would make speedrunning much more exciting and competitive, as well as making the pre-fight prep more needed.
it might be difficult for the casual player if they don't know any of the strats but as soon as you know you can just spam beds, it's all checked and done. I'd say many experienced players don't even use speedtun strats and still find it extremely easy and underwhelming
OH! OH! OH! I know! How about Slow, Uninspired Stuff?! Yeah, i bet my money on that. I mean, no way we actually get substantial Stuff. We will get more Copper, which is mostly useless, we will get no new Systems like Pet-Diseases-and-Pet-Care, we will get nothing that matters.

Maybe amethysts can play a part in a magic update, seeing as the precious stones in game all have unique uses Diamonds for tools and equipment Emeralds as currency Quartz for redstone related mechanisms But so far amethyst is just for spyglasses, decor, and stained glass Its pretty nice on its own but it kinda lacks something for a precious stone
im coming back to this thread because i had an idea crystals are often said to be able to absorb negative energy right? what if to take out cursed enchantments but keep your gear, you would have to die from a special amethyst item? either a new block that breaks like an anvil, but has low durability and only breaks upon impact from falling or a new special weapon that has low durability, it could be like an "amethyst shard dagger" or something this makes getting cursed gear in hardcore mode even more of a challenge because you have no way of taking it off without dying
I think what Minecraft Needs Most is: - Combat Update (completely revamp the combat systems of minecraft) - AI Update (improving intelligence of friendly and hostile mobs, improving villagers to actually carry out jobs, give quests to players and have guard roles to defend their town as well as making Hostile mobs way more interesting to fight - maybe make skeletons an actual army, not just bowmen, who attack in co-ordinated groups, with sword fighters rushing you, bowmen staying back and cavalry for some extra danger (make it actually feel like AI interact with each other) - Structure Update (add hundreds of new minor structures with variations as well as procedurally generated structures to the Minecraft world including sprawling dungeons, small houses, mineshafts, castles, pyramids, temples, shrines, roads, bridges, cities, docks, towers, etc all over the place to make exploration way more interesting) - End Update (Self explanitory) I'd ideally like to see the minecraft world feel more lived in and independent of the player, as if it could have functioned before we arrived, with existing societies capable of self sustaining and survival, carrying out tasks and defending themselves, with occupied and ruined remnants of civilisation dotted everywhere
I'd love a feature that lets you prevent yourself from picking up certain items. For example, every time some zombie or skeleton bothers me, I likely have some bone, arrow or rotten flesh clogging up my inventory. When I toss it out, I have to be careful not to pick it back up. Or when I'm mining for diamonds, I constantly have to toss out stacks of various rocks to get the actual ores/diamonds/ancient debris. Would be nice to just blacklist certain items.
i've noticed a large aspect of recent minecraft updates is that its more fantastical features stray from pop culture fantasy tropes. back then they added things such as enchanting and slaying dragons, but now they're adding more original ideas like the deep dark and piglins
If in 1.20 they decide to do a magic update I would like them to change the enchantment system to something similar to the enchantment system of Minecraft dungeons. Change the progression of levels to require more xp for each level but also decrease how much more xp you need for the next level. Then with enchanting you invest as many of your level points to the enchantment to upgrade it. With this kind of system you could also make it so that you don't lose the level points but rather the progress you made towards the next level when you die.
I do like Minecraft dungeons' enchanting system but I think it's designed for switching items very rapidly. XP is definitely a lot easier to handle though
In terraria after you beat the wall of flesh you unlock a lot more content. Harder mobs, new biomes, new ores, new bosses, OP loot. I would like to see something similar in Minecraft after you kill the ender dragon. And maybe flesh the lore out as well give us a answers to the mysteries of the lore.
Some really lovely ideas you had on new features! Would love to see a lot of them become part of the game! I also think a update with more miscellaneous features would be nice👍🏼 Personally, I think this update will be a “Adventure update 2.0”, but well see what happens XD
I know this will probably never happen, but I've always loved the idea of the end turning into the sky dimension after defeating the dragon. It would open up the rest of the dimension to exploration, and basically be the Aether we've always wanted. But this would really conflict with how the end is already laid out, with end cities, ships, shulkers and elytras
I'd love to see a boss update, including an update of the old bosses. The wither is an absolute mes son java compared to the old wither on bedrock, which had 2 stages and when u reflected the blue skull it'll freeze for a bit but that was a glitch but it was still really cool!
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy agreed! But in Minecraft over the years, I've kinda ran out of things to fight. And having another zombie or other mob variant feels kind of plain. Plus with new bosses could also come new dungeons and new unique items or charms!
I think that, rather than reagents, we should have "rituals" - replace the amount of bookshelves around the enchanting table affecting the enchantment level with the general arrangement of blocks around the table affecting the enchantment type (for example fire and nether blocks near the table give you a higher chance to get fire related enchantments).
I would love to see an update that gives villagers smarter AI and more player control, such as the villager getting mad if you steal their stuff, or the ability to move to your base, if you provide a bed, a chest, and payment. You would want the villagers not for trading, but to do jobs in your house. Minecraft already has systems like this, but making them more integrated and practical can do a lot for Minecraft's sandbox.
I think the reason why most people dont go to the end is because lets players make it seem like your need fully enchanted diamond gear and tools just to enter the end
For the ghost part, it's health level should scale with the amount of xp you had when you died, the more xp, the harder to kill it would be, he could also wear your armor, but all of this is debatable
I'd love to see a magic update It would have some new magic based mobs (like like the illusioner, the enchanter from dungeons and an illager war mage that uses elemental attacks like lightning) spell tomes, enchanted books that allow you to cast spells, they could be made at enchantment tables, found as structure loot, or dropped from said magic mobs (like the war mage dropping a lightning bolt tome.) And at least one in particular would be used in a crafting recipe. Change experience to souls, it's vaguely implied that souls exp is some life force, and it's used in magic like how souls are used in minecraft dungeons. And what i call "deep enchanted items", weapons/ tools wiþ enchantmentsbaked into them at crafting, you'd use an alchemy table (a new crafting block crafted wiþ 3 crying obsidion, 2 netherite ingots, 2 candles of any type, 1 enchantment table, and 1 Spell tome: Arcane knowledge) How it would work is that you'd collect the ingredients for the item you want make (they could be as mundain as stone or copper, or as exotic as wither stars, echo shard or lightning in a bottle) them you'd get soul sand to be the fuel source (like lapis for enchanting, or blaze powder for brewing), then you'd you go þrough the process of forging the item, mixing the materials and magic together which would be more complex/hands on then crafting/ enchanting/ brewing and would consume exp. And when you're done you'll have a weapon, tool, or armor stronger than normal enchanted items, they'd never degrade, and the non consumable ones would consume exp to use their magic. Basically bring some of minecraft dungeons magic system in normal minecraft, and allow player to use some of the magic we kow and or speculate to exist.
What about, hear me out, food update. What would it consist of? Actual meals. So instead of eating plain old steak 24/7 or chowing through entire amounts of bread everytime you lose hunger, you should be able to make a nice sandwich or something. Not via crafting table, but with a new counter item! Now food only giving hunger would be a little underused, people would just find one meta food and eat that all the time. Instead each meal should have a different use like stardew valley. For example : a dessert which gives speed buffs. Something like a burger that acts solely as a way to replenish hunger. A full course steak meal that gives defence and attack power etc.
I'd basically like an animal update. Basically just have Mojang go in and look at all the old animals in the game and give them a revamp. Things like: ・Give the pig something to do. I think make them tameable and give them a new ability like truffle hunting maybe. ・Import all the variant cow; chicken; and pig skins from MInecraft: Earth to liven things up a bit. ・Finally give wolves variant skins since people have been wanting them for so long. ・Add a wander mode to tamed cats and wolves so they're not just sitting in the one spot all the time. ・Do something so that tamed cats and wolves aren't as likely to die if you take them with you. ・The ability to pet dogs. ・Make it so that ocelots and wolves actually eat what they kill rather than having them look like they're just killing for the fun of it. ・Make mob-based transport better to go with the maybe eventual elytra balancing. ・・Tweak llama breeding ・・Add in the ability to remove chests from llamas and donkeys/mules ・・The ability to take horses across oceans (a larger boat? horse frost walker?) ・Take the personality feature from pandas and give it to tameable animals that players actually spend time with like wolves and cats ・Finally fix the bug where squids beach themselves. ・I doubt it will happen but give squids a new model (the current one looks like programmer art by someone who hasn't seen a squid) I don't know that it's as flashy as an End update, but I think that there's plenty of content there if Mojang were to look into it; and there are probably a whole lot of features they could add in besides just sprucing up the old stuff.
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy Thanks! I'm not sure what you mean about the skins being unsuitable... I've been using them in-game for a while now with a texture pack and nothing looks out of place? I am talking about just the variant animal skins and not the mobs with mechanics different from vanilla? To me it just seems a waste that Mojang has all these ready-made skins and isn't using them: Pig: mottled; pale; piebald; pink footed; sooty; and spotted Cow: albino; ashen; cookie; cream; dairy; pinto; and sunset Chicken: amber; bronzed; gold crested; midnight; skewbald; and stormy minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft_Earth:Mob
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy I guess that's the thing with texture changes, or any changes really. ^_^ A big thing for me though is also just the inclusion of in-game variant textures at all. It'd be nice to have that sorted out by the game rather than relying on Optifine jankiness.
Enchancements by Arathain may be a bit unbalanced, but really makes me want things like that to be in the game. Basically, it gets rid of durability, tiered enchantments, and straight up stat increases, and the enchantments are so cool that SHOVELS become viable in PVP, allowing you to hit the other player and break the block below them (putting a cooldown on the shovel ofc). Other things include a midair cloud jump type thing that can negate fall damage if timed well and fixes the elytra being too op, making late game movement much easier without having to use it. The enchantments are so creative and have information about them when hovered over on the enchantment table, promoting reading exact details, which is something I LOVE. Another thing that would be cool is more cooldown related items, shields and ender pearls are so limiting for this feature that has a ton of potential, so much so that there isn’t a way to cooldown items by using commands to my knowledge.
Honestly, I've been thinking about it a lot a long time ago. Magic in minecraft only existed in some bits. Portals, Illagers, Ender Dragon itself, summoning the Wither, Enchantments, and even Alchemy exists. I really wanted magic to be given attention.
Honestly, I wanted an update for structures -- like, with lots of new structures in the overworld. Idk whether it would work... Your thoughts about zombies & zombified piglins are intriguing. You mentioned that there was a distinction. After thinking about it, I realized: Zombified Piglins aren't zombies, but have the characteristics of a zombie. (i.e., "zombified.") Which means they are not classically undead, but instead beat-up versions of the healthier mobs. We heard something like this at Minecraft Live 2022. In Minecraft: Legends, Piglins decay gradually, but they don't die to become zombified. I can't think of why it would be so important for these mobs to not be undead, but I would love to hear your thoughts!
Yeah, once Minecraft Legends got announced I figured the distinction was leading up to that. Interestingly, they've also deleted the translation page explaining the change...
Imo the worst part about the end is how little there is to do. You go, you get boxes, the final solution for items, and elytras, the best movement, and you are done unless you want a very rarely used colour palette of purple or cheese or are using an enderman based exp farm, which is generally inferior to zombie piglin farms due to the extra usability of gold in piglin trades.
Hello everyone this is Jeb from the Minecraft team. We have been expending the last years preparing the next update to Caves and Cliffs and this time we wanted to out do ourselves with even better content. After listening to the community and your feedback we have prepared a very anticipated update that many of you have been waiting for. That's right. We are updating the Birch Forest! We have reworked this biome to generate fallen birch trees that can reach up to 4 logs in length! You can also find a new type of flower we call "the yellow flower" and its yellowish properties allow to be mixed with the other yellow flowers, avoiding repetition in your yellow gardens. But that's just the begining. We have taken a gamble with this next feature that might break the resource economy and we will have to carefully monitor this in the snapshots before the final release. The content we are talking about is none other than an increment in the rabbit spawn rate within the reworked birch forest to a whapping 1.5x from the regular one. Thank you everyone for watching the Minecraft Live this year, and stay mining!
I feel like a good direction for Minecraft to go in combat wise would be a sort of souls-like style. Specifically in slots for weapons instead of using the hotbar, maybe a leveling system or upgrade system for weapons, since experience is similar to souls, blood echoes or runes
Magic is a pretty great concept in a game like minecraft, it's a shame it doesn't live up to it's true potential. I hope that the upcoming update will be or could at least try to expand upon existing vanilla magic mechanics or adding something completely new. I personally would like to see Mojang's take on staffs and tombs from games like terraria.
Minecraft needs a complete overhaul of its dungeons. Currently "dungeons" are just a box with a spawner in it. Yes there's temples but they're far and few between.
It would also be cool a science update. Imagine if alongside with the potions you could extract properties out of Mobs flesh, making unique foods and maybe creating artificial mobs, it could combine with redstone and etc... It would be cool play scientist in Minecraft.
The Enchanting Table idea is great. Brewing ingredience could give a increased change to get a enchant simular to it. Blaze powder is used from strength so it could increase chance for charpness. For example
In the mod I mentioned, blaze powder is tied to fire related enchantments. Though the mod has vanilla items as default so it could be tied to a different item with a different obtainment method
I mean the Wild Update is kinda what he was talking about? Like its based on adventuring so it probably will make the path to the end more interesting.
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy like i dont think they can call it the WILD update and *not* at least spice up the progress to the end since from what i can tell its based on adventuring since compared to the other recent updates (apart from 1.15) it would be kind of lacking if it was like well uhhhh its like biomes and uh couple of mobs that would be underwhelming. All in all im really exited about what they do with the wild update and im sure that the mojang team wont dissapoint :).
One thing i’ve wanted for a long time is better or custom boats, like the ones you see wrecked on the seafloor. Something like Archimedes Ships. It would allow for a more nomadic playstyle and facilitate exploration on a massive scale.
IDEA for WARDEN Drop After killing Warden, you get cursed by a debuff, which soaks XP from you. The amount XP it drains is equal to how much of Skulk grows out of your near vicinity. You can get XP back by breaking skulk blocks, which can store XP as shown in lastest minecraft live
If it comes to magic- after some theories of xp being the "life force" in Minecraft and how Totems of Undying might be more of a magic focus than death prevention tool I just want some spells. And about creature that spawns from your corpse- this would fit the theory... Since xp is the accumulated life force from other creatures a high ammount might combine into something alive
Also, since minecraft’s 1.19 update is so simple and easier, i wonder if they are hiding some secrets to release with the deep dark. That new area could potentially add some new enchanting, items, and certain mechanics in doing stuff
well they said in minecraft live that the deep dark cities do in fact have unique loot inside of them so there is a chance it might be enchanting ralated
As Mojang does, it would be boring if they showed everything in Minecraft Live, I would believe some more game changer things will be delayed for 1.20/1.21 as Mojang bit a little more than they could chew with 1.17/1.8
Totally new to Minecraft fell in love got the "Healing Power of Friendship" in first 6 hrs, I like that you can't cheat the achievements and rather enjoy the thrill of creating in survival, more interesting (haven't even been to the Nether yet let alone End lol) yes, easier no. With the experience so far I don't mind it and looking at some of the "lore" theories really see "exp" more as soul points than anything, of course up to interpretation I like the loose hint at some obscure lore there in the world. If there was absolutely none I think I would loose interest in the game and all sense of discovery or wonder would be gone when exploring. That being said a magic update would be lovely. Great video 👍
You guys are awesome, I learn a lot about game design from your videos, it allows me to appreciate vanilla Minecraft as well the mods made by Team Abnormals. Speaking of which those mods are amazing, I can't imagine making a mod pack without them because they are so polished. Thank you for everything you guys do!
I like the idea of fleshing out magic because the current systems are lacking. I feel like this could align well with a bit of an End overhaul, as the End is a more magical dimension. Update Name: Endless Magic
An update I'd like to see is one focusing on golems, I always found these guys cool and it always irked me that only two types exist despite there being a lot of materials in the game
I’ve noticed that everything in Minecraft is consistent with a magic system centered around ritual magic and related mechanics. Portals, inscription of materials, golem construction, soul energy infusion for potion making, etc. Naturally, a game based around construction will have a magic system based around ‘construction. I feel like spellcraft could be used with a lectern surrounded by bookshelves, costing experience to use the book every time you cast the spell.
If they do indeed decide to make a magic update, I think one of the main things they should focus on would be making enchantments more horizontal than vertical. I want more enchantments to be like silk touch or fire aspect, in that they have unique uses and bonuses, but these are circumstantial and are less significant or may even be a hinderance depending on what you use them for. Stuff like sharpness, which is just a plain bonus with no drawback, should be scaled back imo, with the base weapons being strengthened to make up for the lack of these addition(fun fact: diamond swords used to deal 10 damage, but this was nerfed when enchantments were introduced)
I would also like to see them make it so that gold became more of a proper "enchantment" material. Right now it is more enchantable, sure, but the way this manifests is through unintuitive algorithms, and this enchantability only applies to the enchanting table, not the anvil, whose mechanics are in itself unintuitive too. I think a simple "enchantability cap", depending on the material, would work way better: each tier of gear can store a certain "amount" of enchantments, and if an anvil combination would surpass this then the combination can't be made.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Agree
I think it would be interesting if gold had a special feature of having a higher enchantment level with each enchantment. "Sharpness 6, unbraking 2, fortune 4" something that no other tool can get but gold
Fun fact: Sharpness did already get scaled back in the 1.9 update, although it would be nice if it got scaled back even more if it mean other/new enchantments could take it’s place
@@agentpaint well, the issue isn't really that "sharpness stands in the way of getting more interesting enchantments", but that enchantments like sharpness aren't really a choice, but a no-brainer; the only circumstance where you wouldn't have sharpness on your sword is if you're primarily gonna be fighting undeads and want smite instead. The issue I see with this is that it makes enchantments a "next tier" in progression, rather than something which unlocks new possibilities in playstyle,.
The fact that the Illager Runes from MC Dungeons were added to the files in the 1.18 snapshots only supports the idea of a magic update for me. It really feels like a neo-Galactic Alphabet to me, and it might end up playing a visual role in some of the new systems.
That is a bit of a mystery, yeah.
I absolutely love the idea of a new writing system for Minecraft - we already have the "human" languages (possibly what Steve and Alex speak?), as well as the more magic-based languages, like the SGL (enchanting tables). I personally love the idea of a bunch of new languages like the pillager rune, maybe even a fleshing out of the villager hmm system? There's so much potential and I love it.
Ah yes can't wait for mage class on Minecraft, featuring the last prism
@@RealValkor *last cube
@@RealValkor I cant tell if your referencing terraria or something else bruh
The too expensive mechanic ruins the entire system, No one is ever going to not use mending if the alternative is that your tool will be unrepairable
Hot take: repairing should not cost XP at all. Mending currently removes almost any need for repairing. And mods like Tinkers show that repairing tools with materials is a fun gameplay loop.
@@blahthebiste7924 Or it should take a fixed amount of experience perhaps depending on how much enchantments it has. Like an unenchanted item will require no exp, an early game enchanted item will cost just a few but eventually mending will become an optimal enchantment in endgame. Right now, the pressure to get mending as quickly as possible to secure your tools is really annoying.
Hey. We can already repair our tools without mending. We just need one of the material we used to make our tool. (In an anvil)
@@friendlyfinn2363 The cost continues to rise and eventually it becomes unrepairabale (once it crosses level 40, it simple says Too Expensive). I believe the rising cost is the issue which can be easily fixed.
@@friendlyfinn2363did you miss the top comment where they explicitly referred to the “too expensive” mechanic?
Magic update sounds like its much needed. The meta of kidnapping villagers to farm mending books is getting stale. More enchantments to spice up the end game as well so not everyone has the exact same enchantments on their armor and weapons. More mutually exclusive enchants like Frost Aspect vs Fire Aspect would be cool
Magic weapons
I see Mending kind of almost killed enchanting. It now becomes a thing where unless you lose your stuff, once you get the perfect gear you never need to enchant again. Back in the day when you didn’t know what you were going to get from an enchantment table and you couldn’t trade for books enchanting was extremely tedious however did add for more interactions with the system. I honestly think villagers are just too powerful.
i hate breaķing and placing the block so the trade changes randomly, if there was a way maybe a little harder but less tedious to pick what enchament you want, that could change the meta but allow you to chose between easy tedious work or a harder but better rewarding, if they add more enchanments, the enchanted book pool would be bigger effectively nerfing villagers as they have even more choices of books to pick
god imagine if they did an adventure update 2.0 where they added more structures with UNIQUE loot you can't find anywhere else.
And it´s weird, the villager's supouse to be humans, so you slave they for you production.
I would like a "general" update, for upgrading and adding features already in the game, but i think It would take a lot of time to make
Or a complete Java/Bedrock parity update
Depends on their scope I guess.
Looks like you got your update!
@@-Teague- they announced that
@@10pitate kind of, it won't be it all in one update
Something I'd personally love to see is total biome variance with everything. Everything from cows, to pigs, to zombies have unique visual variants. Cows in mountains may be fluffier looking than the generic plains cows, pigs in forest may look like wild hogs and even attack players, zombies get jungle variants that move faster over leaves but slower over solid ground, Skeletons get an aquatic variant that instead of shooting arrows drags the player toward them with a tendril of kelp, Drowned in Warm Ocean biomes are covered in kelp and coral growths. A mix of purely aesthetic changes, changes with slight gameplay differences (Husks), and stuff that's radically different from it's generic form. There'd be some exceptions, cats don't have much reason to have unique variants, Mooshrooms, Ocelots and other biome exclusive mobs have no business looking different outside their respective biomes, Endermen don't come from the overworld so wouldn't be subject to it.
It'd be a challenge to implement, but I think it'd give so much variety to MC's ultimate strength: it's exploration. Especially if there were gameplay changes to the mobs. Maybe wolves that spawn in Taiga biomes form bigger packs and attack cows instead of sheep. Polar Bears on Frozen Oceans could be made hostile, whereas Polar Bears in tundra biomes could be neutral. And so much more.
I think I would prefer more unique mobs, but it could go alongside it
Sounds good, but the amount of effort that would have to go with that it'd be better to just make completely new mobs if they can
Instead of all these buffs and debuffs, maybe just skin variants?
@Slaking Your wished is being granted now that we have the wild update!
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy Having greater variation between current mobs and mobs added in the future would help get rid of repetitiveness as you wouldn't be seeing the same thing over and over again in different biomes
the biggest issue with xp and its use for me is that enchanting and repairing always take levels instead of xp, meaning the higher level you are, the more you pay for doing that. sure, it always costs 3 levels to to a max enchant, but 3 levels can be drastically different amounts of exp, depending on your level.
Yeah, it encourages you to keep your level at around 30 which means you can't enchant very quickly. Unless you make an XP farm which gives you so much that you don't need to conserve it
Personally I'd like it if instead of turning into a zombified piglin if struck by lightning, a pig would turn into a zoglin. As well as turning into a hoglin if it found itself in the nether, maybe even turning back into a pig if reintroduced to the overworld
Maybe hoglins turn into zoglins because they should turn back to pig but something wrong happens?
@@liathedigger Perhaps?
@@liathedigger yeah but if this was the game what went wrong what would be different from exiting the nether compared to entering it
but pig-derived ziglins are key to certain challenge runs (i.e. bedrock superflat)
As someone who hosts an smp I’d really like to see more communal things to bring players together. More boses, ruins, I’m not sure but a lot of players end up getting too bored when all that’s left to do is build. Would be cool if there was castle ruins with useful loot and actual tough mobs, boses for a group of 4 or so
There are plenty of other games that can cater to that if you're not interested in building.
Seems you got your wish with these new ancient cities they’re adding
@João Paulo De Melo fighting bosses and exploring ruins is exploring oriented though? Sounds like a lame excuse for the lack if explorative content minecraft has.
What came to mind when reading this is what if there was some sort of challenege realms that had a limited area with dungeons and the like in them. Once you beat the challenege you return to your normal world with the loot and the realm gets deleted so that a new challeneg with a new seed can spawn in.
I've noticed an issue with a lot of the dungeons, end cities etc is that they often become useless after you complete them. And then you have to travel out further so it makes it harder to find more. This new challenge realm portal would always directly take you to new unique dungeon like challenges
I find this a very valid suggestion.
Favourite things to do are tto loot Woodland mansions with friends, enderpearl across the end with friends, and loot bastions with friends.
It's just that there's not really a point to do so after successfully having done it once.
I'd probably say a farming update. The farming system in minecraft is very "set and forget" and while I think they shouldn't make the system stray too far away I think there is various things to do to make farming more fun. Benefits to making humane animal pens, more plants from different dimensions, talking and tending to plants(weeds and stuff; nothing to slowdown the growth just removing them to make them grow faster), different foods giving different short lived buffs, actual meal crafting like spices and food combinations, maybe even different types of fertilizers made from the composter block
There's definitely a lot they could do with farming, yeah. Great ideas!
Well there is also the idea of saletra as an ore, which would drop items which can be used as fertilizer or... together with sulfur (as another ore) and coal to create gunpowder. Which would pretty well fit with that.
And I would really loved the idea of farming update and adding new plants, perhaps with different growth mechanic (well we have 4 already, but perhaps there could be more or more application to some most rarely used) . Also I would like to have tomatoes in Minecraft. And maybe some fruit trees (perhaps different would be possible to get in different biomes/accessible as saplings in structures WHEN they are in that biome... that would add another cool motivation to exploring more!)
@@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV The gunpowder idea is more than overdue. It's so weird that you absolutely can't obtain that stuff from anywhere except by killing witches or creepers. So you practically can't get it in larger quantities, unless you grind forever or build farms. Neither seem like something the devs intended for you to do.
Especially since real gunpowder is easy to CRAFT in real life, it's made out of stuff you MINE, and half of the ingedients are already in the game.
@@Sercil00 well actually if we assume the recipe I proposed then we actually have one of 3 needed ingredients in the game (though I don't see that as much problem as both sulfur and saletra ores would make perfect sense and would be quite useful... also sulfur could be somewhat scarce in the overworld and quite common (at level similar to quartz or even bigger) in the nether)
I remember there was a Minecraft mod where if you ate too much of one food, the saturation it gives lowers. I feel like Minecraft could make a system similar to this.
I just want a dungeon overhaul T-T the Stronghold and the original Temples need some love
the stronghold desperately needs some work. you wander through repeats of the same 3-4 rooms, maybe finding a chest every now and then until you find the portal. And what’s the final challenge between you and the end? A *silverfish spawner.* if silverfish were removed from the game, nobody would notice.
I don’t think it should be made super difficult, as this is still a casual focused game, but some kind of challenge besides punching the occasional zombie until you randomly wander into the portal room is needed.
Maybe the rooms could be revamped to be more unique? The library room is a great example of what they should be like. We need more unique room types!
Maybe chests can contain a couple eyes of ender to encourage more exploration? Not enough to completely fill the portal since that would make the nether optional, but still enough to warrant actually exploring past the portal room
@@CabinetGremlin I would rather go in a diferent direction. Instead of adding things to the chests that you can already do. Make some resources uncraftable and make them available in the temples. Imagine if, for example, rading villages and libraries in the temples was the only source of books and you couldn't craft them yourself. That would be a reason to explore.
"YUNG's Better _" mods really help with this, and give all of the old dungeons a fresh coat of paint
The issue with every update is that everyone wants something different. Some people will enjoy new updates will others will not. Some will ask for magic while others will still question how come we don't have as basic animal as a deer in a forest. There's no way to please everyone, but the game has to move forward trying to remain as non-niche as possible which is why we see biome updates being the cornerstone of most updates, they add new blocks, new mobs, new enemies and some new mechanics. After all there’s no better way to add these other than through a new biome. And importantly that’s why we explore the world.
Mods are a blessing for costumisation
We all know it's going to be the Slabfish Update, confirmed by Mojang Devs
True...
I actually saw Mojang do a reference the Farmers Delight mod in one of their videos so it's possible
What was the reference?
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy Oh it was a little bit in a skit where they showed a list of possible Minecraft updates and I saw Miners Delight on the list, which sounded an awful lot like Farmers Delight.
Oh lol, could be a coincidence but that's pretty cool if it wasn't
The BEST thing about this video coming out now is that we don't have to wait that long for an answer!
Yep, this video will age well or poorly very quickly.
Yes, I love that. Making a video like this ten months before the next minecon would just make me a bit sad because I’d realize we don’t have another one until many months later.
I love how cam decides to talk about the future right before the minecon... he builds hype for it! Ideas Academy best marketing team
Hi Mysto, have a good day
@@lucacrab You too crab dude
Little idea, maybe if you upgrade a villager to Master, you can do a "Commission" of some kind. Like, a librarian villager at Master level can be given emeralds in trade for a specific enchanted book, price based on how good the enchantment(s) is. Then they'll get to work on it, and the next day you'll either receive it, or a couple of it (also depending on how many emeralds you gave and how many of them you wanted). The old way is still there (placing the work station until it appears), but it'll be cheaper to commission them from a villager than from the old way since it required more effort to get to that stage, and also since you have to wait on it for a bit. And that can go for all villagers, like commissioning a stack of brick blocks from a stone mason, potions from a cleric, special arrows from a fletcher, etc etc. It's not a perfect idea by a long shot, but y'know, it sounded neat.
It's an interesting idea at least. Haven't heard that one before
This is a very clever idea. I've never seen this anywhere. Would definitely make the villagers feel a lot more alive.
@@mdbgamer556 And it would eliminate the need of villagers slavery for casual players. it's win-win for Mojang's PR and players's good will.

Nahh too cool for mojang, what we really need is new real life animal that doesn't do much apperently

You mention "a very particular way", but you aren't using it. Always combine books before adding to a sword.
The cost is based on how often an item has gone through the anvil, so if you have 3 books and 1 sword, you'd do best to put one book on the sword, and one book on the other book, and then put those books on the enchanted sword. That way you keep the total cost to a minimum. Also always enchant items in a table first, since that doesn't count towards anvil cost either.
I thought I heard that, but I watched antvenom's old video about getting max enchantments and he said to add each book one at a time starting with the highest level. I guess that must be out of date
I would like to see mojang really dial in on performance and similar things. Mods like optifine or sodium that outright boost FPS show that Minecraft can be optimized relatively quickly, as these kinds of mods already do it. I’d prefer to see sodium integrated, as sodium boosts FPS way better, and optifine has a lot of vanilla unfriendly mechanics like shaders support, zoom and dynamic lights, though I would like to see what mojangs take on dynamic lighting would be
Iirc, Mojang was working on something for dynamic lighting, but Idk all the details. >.>
Fun fact mojang at one point was going to absorb with optfine but the dev declined because they wanted to only use it for performance. Anyone who donated would lose their cape and they wouldn’t have added shaders or zoom or really anything that people do really enjoy optifine for
mojang wants and has said they'd like to add dynamic lights, the issue is that mc java's code is quite hard for it and requires a light systems rework, apparently
performance improvements are good but i wouldnt say "look at these experimental, buggy and potentially gamebreaking mods that take shortcuts that work for most but certainly not all" as a thing they need to add.
how much these mods improve FPS and if they even work are all highly dependant on your system. they're great to have available but by no means vanilla ready. optifine is well known for being highly buggy especially with other mods. they have to balance performance with stability, accessibility, and work/time to return ratio's. I'm sure they can improve the game quite a bit if they had a few years of nothing but improving the game, but that would mean no other updates
@@Sopsy_Hallow Which is why if they did add some performance boosting options they should be just that..options. They can be in the option menu so you to choose if you want to use them! Or they could simply just optimize the game better and fix issues that cause tons of lag
*TRANSPORTATION UPDATE*
seriously, almost all forms of transportation other than elytra need a pretty serious buff. And with such vast Minecraft worlds, and exploration becoming such an essential part of the game, it would be fun to have horses, minecarts, boats, and so many more forms of transportation actually become useful.
I personally never use elytra as it ruins the game and immersion for the civilizations I am building. Minecarts all the way, railroad systems! We need more of those. Features as feom Create with moving cart cotraptions would be ideal, if somewhat less vanilla
@@MonochromeChromosome I'd say elytra do have a use, but currently they're OP. Not because they shouldn't be, I think they are a very well designed item and have their place, but simply because all the other forms of transport are so _bad._ Which they have no right to be. IRL horses and trains are orders of magnitude faster than their Minecraft counterparts. Boats are hilariously basic - imagine if you could add engines or sails or make them larger. There are just so many improvements available that would make elytra obsolete without even having to change them.
reminder that minecart linking is still broken
Mojang is really trying to encourage exploration but because of how hard it is and the risk of losing all of your items and experience that come with it, you're deterred from it by the mechanics. Better movement options, more biome specific rewards with actually purposes (alternatively obtained from Wandering Traders), and a better way to recover your Items could really help it. I like how Emeralds can only be found underneath mountains, I wish they'd include similar mechanics to things.
@@Deadflower019 and the lack of useful structures and rewards for exploration in the over world doesn’t help. The only structures that effectively balance exploration, risk, and reward are pretty much nether fortresses and end cities.
I'm hoping the next update will be one that fleshes out the world a little more, adding archaeology and the other biomes that were promised in the first and maybe even second votes, although I understand if they would be burnt out by that and would prefer something more systems based rather than generation
Yeah we really need the biome vote losers update and archeology. I’m pretty sure archeology is coming in the next update either way.
This aged well, Swamps from the second vote are coming back in 2022.
ding ding ding! we have (mostly) a winner!
@Rederex That’s basically 1.19 in a nutshell, niceee.
wish granted dude
Mojang has already mentioned an end update, and said that they didn't know what to do with it, as the end should be kept as a desolate area, and it is difficult to find a balance, as adding too much would ruin the desolate feeling and adding too little would feel like barely anything was changed.
Have you seen nullscape datapack?
I mean, if it's meant to be a desolate, hard area for post-endgame players they should add new structures but make them super rare, or maybe even not super rare but limited in quantity like the strongholds and super hard to beat. We can handle it.

@@slevinchannel7589 go back to bed grandpa, you're just seeing things again
I am beyond belief you actually called the update at the end lol... thought it was gonna be a weird video in hindsight but it ended up being like, exactly on point.
One part, at least.
Honestly I want to see a magic system with as much versatility as redstone. Something with all the complexity of redstone, but with a more mystical system for people who want a different style of creativity. Minecraft's feature that sets it apart from many games is the ability to make something unique in its world and have those things persist, and I want to see magic systems that work like that
Oooh, yeah, like Noita. Although that would be *insane* so maybe a little less powerful, haha.
But yeah, a spellcrafting system more like the Ars mods would be really neat.
Like thaumcraft's vis but only primal essentias?
to make a complex magic system is a difficult task for any game out there, sp that would be quite a challenge for minecraft as well
I mean they have Microsoft money, if there was one team that could make it work yk
If we take a look back on the days were we wanted a disenchanment table, they technically give us what we wanted but in another way and that's how minecraft works, they give the comunity what they want but no how they expect it to be so it is more creative. So we'll get an magic update one day and perhaps they make it better than what we tought

Aether ❓

@@detto1998 True
People say the aether shouldn’t exist because the end already exists. But they fail to realize how much more they can do with the aether
@@TEENYcharma You’re right, in fact it’s already been done by the Aether Mod!
I’m not saying they shouldn’t add in an Aether dimension because it’s already a mod, I just personally think that at this point, the End would be more interesting to see. There’s a lot you can do with The Aether, but there’s also a lot untapped potential with the End. It’s a dimension that clearly has a story behind it, a story I really wanna see explored in the near future.
Mojang doesn't own the rights to that mod AFIAK. That's like saying "Well Minecraft could do a LOT with the twilight forest!" No, they really can't lmao

Lmao that was completely unintentional.
Besides the whole "Wild update"
and of course the much needed "Parity update"
I could totally see an update called "Magic and Monsters"
Adding a new magic system/more ways to use/gain EXP
while also retooling most of the hostile and passive mobs that have either been ignored or are in need of changes. Perhaps even adding new mobs/bosses to fight. A sudo-combat update even.
could be cool :)
It could even be Allays!
Imagine dying in a place just to find a bunch of Allays carrying and playing with your items.
Do some music and they will kindly drop your items :)
That's cute!
The leveling system really needs to be updated imo, as well I wouldnt mind more things to use levels/exp on, cause after you get good enchantments on your gear you dont really use exp for anything. It could also allow them to make exp easier to get without you having a massive stockpile of it maybe.
I would really like that video about the mob vote. Last time it was very toxic.
Tbh I thought it was pretty fun overall until Dreams harem had to go and ruin it
For me, a biome update adding everything they’ve promised. They DID say the biome votes would get added at some point.
Also imagine the vote ending with “Everything will get added”!
Yes. An archeology and warm biomes update would be perfect. All the biome vote losers are warm biomes, it fits nice.
Well, your wish has been (somewhat) granted! Frogs, mangrove trees, and boats with chests! There's a lot of speculation that the rest of 1.19 is going to include at least one more of the biome vote's losers.
@@dr.penguin7934 I know! I’m so happy!
@@dr.penguin7934 honestly with the funding they have, im surprised they didnt promise like 1 more biome (they are adding the deep dark in 1.19 so thats 2 already) 3 seems like a good number, they could add one of the other loosers perhaps doing a vote over 2 -3 days for a revamp, i'd love a desert update or even a savannah update
I'm guessing they don't want to over promise like they did with caves and cliffs
Mojang could really flesh out Minecraft more by adding rotten flesh blocks

When talking about magic, 3 mods come to my mind: Botania, Astral sorcery and Blood magic. Every single one of them feels like a game inside a game and I would LOVE if vanilla minecraft had its own version of it. Rewamped enchantment system, wands, magical spells, rituals could potencially change how we play the game. Also, the machanic of upgrading something, like we see with netherite, SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN. They could add many new materials that could be mined AND created with magic that could change items, give them benefits and drawbacks so neither is just flat out the best. Everyone could have their way to progress through the game. Simmilar system is in the Tinker's construct mod, where some tools mine faster, others have way longer durability or perform best in certain situations. Also, the fletching table. It asks for some use and such tool upgrade system would be perfectbto introduce it as a station to upgrade bows, arrows and crossbows.
Yeah I think Minecraft could do something like that but simpler and more miscellaneous
I sure hope Netherite leads the way for sidegrades. Diamond stuff + specialization item = you have a niche.
they've talked before about copper armor maybe being sidegrady if they ever get a cool concept for it, hopefully we'll see some cool copper gear in the future that's both useful and not a "must get" sidegrades in games like minecraft are pog
just got around to watching this video now and you basically predicted the wild update! overall i still agree magic needs a revamp in the future though so nice video mate!
To be fair I predicted a lot of stuff that didn't end up happening lol
One problem with enchanting is that Minecraft is a game a lot about optimization/progression. When you enchant an item, if you mess up even a little you must start over from the beginning. This encourages strategies like villager trading halls which I like but are super unhealthy for the game and enchanting as a whole.
Combining a few ideas i’ve seen in the comments, it would be cool to have a more general type of ‘raid’ in the game. Perhaps a block or some magic summoning process (but of course not overly complicated) that makes many more mobs spawn in with slightly more lethality. Perhaps this could be the only situation where general mobs like zombies and skeletons can actually break (and maybe place?) blocks down, and this way its only able to happen due to the player initiating it. People want to build defenses and bulky structures and this gives them a reason to but also keeping it be the players choice.
Maybe during this raid mobs also drop more xp, items, and have a higher chance of dropping their rare loot. And at the completion of the ‘ritual’ it could give a new or existing end game item. Perhaps part of this ritual involves wither skulls and this could be an alternative way to get a wither star? Or even it could drop an item where using it in your next ‘raid’ makes it harder? Maybe pooling together the drops of different end game boss fights will activate a Terarria like ‘hard mode’ with like a wither star, ‘raid’ drop, dragon egg, etc.
I had a similar idea except for nether fortresses where you can cause more skeletons to spawn and thus get more skulls
A big problem I have with Minecraft is that, in the late-game, I have no reason left to play. I play Minecraft for its survival gameplay. I love building pretty things, but I only do so to enhance my survival experience. Once I have enchanted netherite gear, elytra, and have beaten every boss, the only thing left to do is build. However, I have nothing left to build FOR. All enemies are a joke to fight and continuing to survive is just retreading content that offers no challenge. My new gear makes building a lot easier, but I have no reason to do it other than for the sake of itself. A big part of Minecraft survival is exploring for materials which is something that does help offer gameplay for the overpowered late-game player, but still doesn’t fix the problem. Why should I go out and collect these materials if what I’m building no longer serves me any use? I have no idea how to fix this without unsustainably stretching out progression. They can’t just keep adding new objectives because it doesn’t solve the problem- it only delays it. Anyone have ideas on how to create a gameplay loop that fixes this? Or is it a natural consequence that the game ends?
It feels like you play Minecraft rather for conquer then survival. Survival is unfortunately barely existing in Minecraft. I think your problem is more build-up in your preference - if you having fun only when you gaining more and defeating more, then you eventually end up having everything and there won't be any reason for you to do anything. I think there's no real fix for that, this approche is fundamentally broken. The only thing you can do is to make up some challanges for you. For example I like to play as a vegan sometimes. I also don't play with health regeneration anymore. But if your goal is to reach the end, then you will. And that will be also the end of your fun.
@@ravysel1258 You’re right! Another way I get fun out of the came is just being challenged. A lot of the time I have a good time not actually working towards anything and going through the loop of fighting monsters and building my base without upgrading my gear. I wish the normal monsters were hard enough to be engaging when I inevitably decide to progress. The answer is to just limit myself, but that means ignoring content. If there was a place to live where the everyday bad-guys didn’t get killed in two hits with maxed out equipment and I wasn’t virtually invincible I’d be very happy. The Nether comes close but doesn’t really cut it at a certain point. I’ve changed the behavior before to make stuff harder and that worked, but in a multiplayer setting its unfair to people who don’t play the game like me. It really is a problem inherent with my playstyle and not necessarily a fault of the game
All this considered, the only way to actually placate me is to have a parallel dimension to the overworld to vibe in once the overworld becomes too easy which
1. Is not coming any time soon and probably will never,
2. Would need to match the overworld in content (either new or just recycled generation from the overworld),
4. Would inflate world sizes
5. Would be an unreasonable amount of work for content that doesn’t add much value and very few players would touch
@@dibby4316 I would suggest you to learn how to enjoy non-challanging things. I don't mean "don't conquer", conquering is fun! There's just many other fun things. I personally don't really look into progress. When I do mining, I usually do it for fun - resources are just extra bonus.
The only people I see that never get tired of Minecraft are the ones who primarily use it to build. Freedom of building is what sets Minecraft apart from most other games, so it makes sense that they'd focus on that. You could try some other challenging survival games, or start a building project.
2:08 actually i'd argue that the ender dragon is far FAR too easy. Most people, even relatively unexperienced can beat it without any enchanted armor, let alone any armor at all. It would be really cool to see a revamp to the boss fight as an addition to a future end update.
It would make speedrunning much more exciting and competitive, as well as making the pre-fight prep more needed.
it might be difficult for the casual player if they don't know any of the strats but as soon as you know you can just spam beds, it's all checked and done. I'd say many experienced players don't even use speedtun strats and still find it extremely easy and underwhelming
@@saaros Its not meant to be for the casual player. Its a BOSS fight, not a harder variant of the phantom smh.

mojang: *FROGS*
Maybe amethysts can play a part in a magic update, seeing as the precious stones in game all have unique uses
Diamonds for tools and equipment
Emeralds as currency
Quartz for redstone related mechanisms
But so far amethyst is just for spyglasses, decor, and stained glass
Its pretty nice on its own but it kinda lacks something for a precious stone
Lapis is already kinda the magic stone though
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy oh yea i forgot to include lapis lol
im coming back to this thread because i had an idea
crystals are often said to be able to absorb negative energy right?
what if to take out cursed enchantments but keep your gear, you would have to die from a special amethyst item?
either a new block that breaks like an anvil, but has low durability and only breaks upon impact from falling
or a new special weapon that has low durability, it could be like an "amethyst shard dagger" or something
this makes getting cursed gear in hardcore mode even more of a challenge because you have no way of taking it off without dying
I don't think any abilities should require dying, maybe it could be something else
You got some stuff right, mainly about how they went back on some of the stuff (Mangrove, frogs, and chests in a boat)
I think what Minecraft Needs Most is:
- Combat Update (completely revamp the combat systems of minecraft)
- AI Update (improving intelligence of friendly and hostile mobs, improving villagers to actually carry out jobs, give quests to players and have guard roles to defend their town as well as making Hostile mobs way more interesting to fight - maybe make skeletons an actual army, not just bowmen, who attack in co-ordinated groups, with sword fighters rushing you, bowmen staying back and cavalry for some extra danger (make it actually feel like AI interact with each other)
- Structure Update (add hundreds of new minor structures with variations as well as procedurally generated structures to the Minecraft world including sprawling dungeons, small houses, mineshafts, castles, pyramids, temples, shrines, roads, bridges, cities, docks, towers, etc all over the place to make exploration way more interesting)
- End Update (Self explanitory)
I'd ideally like to see the minecraft world feel more lived in and independent of the player, as if it could have functioned before we arrived, with existing societies capable of self sustaining and survival, carrying out tasks and defending themselves, with occupied and ruined remnants of civilisation dotted everywhere
I'd love a Weather and Lighting update. Improved cloud system, colored lights, spotlights, new weather variations, new ambient mobs...
I'd love a feature that lets you prevent yourself from picking up certain items.
For example, every time some zombie or skeleton bothers me, I likely have some bone, arrow or rotten flesh clogging up my inventory. When I toss it out, I have to be careful not to pick it back up. Or when I'm mining for diamonds, I constantly have to toss out stacks of various rocks to get the actual ores/diamonds/ancient debris.
Would be nice to just blacklist certain items.

@@emeraldhamster yeah, that’s true.
Poisonous bushes, acid pools.
i've noticed a large aspect of recent minecraft updates is that its more fantastical features stray from pop culture fantasy tropes. back then they added things such as enchanting and slaying dragons, but now they're adding more original ideas like the deep dark and piglins
Yeah, it's cool how it's gaining its own identity now.
I want a magic update that updates stuff about xp and enchanting, I love the idea with the item slot that can sway what enchantments you'll get
I'd take an overhaul of almost any kind. Minecarts, gameplay, food, revisiting old biomes, the End. Maybe even multiple ones in the same update.
If in 1.20 they decide to do a magic update I would like them to change the enchantment system to something similar to the enchantment system of Minecraft dungeons. Change the progression of levels to require more xp for each level but also decrease how much more xp you need for the next level. Then with enchanting you invest as many of your level points to the enchantment to upgrade it. With this kind of system you could also make it so that you don't lose the level points but rather the progress you made towards the next level when you die.
I do like Minecraft dungeons' enchanting system but I think it's designed for switching items very rapidly. XP is definitely a lot easier to handle though
In terraria after you beat the wall of flesh you unlock a lot more content. Harder mobs, new biomes, new ores, new bosses, OP loot. I would like to see something similar in Minecraft after you kill the ender dragon. And maybe flesh the lore out as well give us a answers to the mysteries of the lore.
Some really lovely ideas you had on new features! Would love to see a lot of them become part of the game! I also think a update with more miscellaneous features would be nice👍🏼 Personally, I think this update will be a “Adventure update 2.0”, but well see what happens XD
I know this will probably never happen, but I've always loved the idea of the end turning into the sky dimension after defeating the dragon. It would open up the rest of the dimension to exploration, and basically be the Aether we've always wanted. But this would really conflict with how the end is already laid out, with end cities, ships, shulkers and elytras
UA-camrs: *suggests so many good ideas *
Mojang: "new splash text! cute mobs !"
I'd love to see a boss update, including an update of the old bosses. The wither is an absolute mes son java compared to the old wither on bedrock, which had 2 stages and when u reflected the blue skull it'll freeze for a bit but that was a glitch but it was still really cool!
Revamping the wither could fit into an undead update too! I should've mentioned it
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy agreed! But in Minecraft over the years, I've kinda ran out of things to fight. And having another zombie or other mob variant feels kind of plain. Plus with new bosses could also come new dungeons and new unique items or charms!
I think that, rather than reagents, we should have "rituals" - replace the amount of bookshelves around the enchanting table affecting the enchantment level with the general arrangement of blocks around the table affecting the enchantment type (for example fire and nether blocks near the table give you a higher chance to get fire related enchantments).
That could be interesting, though the point of reagents is that they are used up.
I would love to see an update that gives villagers smarter AI and more player control, such as the villager getting mad if you steal their stuff, or the ability to move to your base, if you provide a bed, a chest, and payment. You would want the villagers not for trading, but to do jobs in your house. Minecraft already has systems like this, but making them more integrated and practical can do a lot for Minecraft's sandbox.
I think the reason why most people dont go to the end is because lets players make it seem like your need fully enchanted diamond gear and tools just to enter the end
For the ghost part, it's health level should scale with the amount of xp you had when you died, the more xp, the harder to kill it would be, he could also wear your armor, but all of this is debatable
I was thinking Netherite armour would disadvantage it somehow because the existence of ghosts would make its immunity to lava much less needed
i wonder if they will make a wild update with frogs and mangroves
Maybe they could redo birch forests too
Well well well........
I'd love to see a magic update
It would have
some new magic based mobs (like like the illusioner, the enchanter from dungeons and an illager war mage that uses elemental attacks like lightning)
spell tomes, enchanted books that allow you to cast spells, they could be made at enchantment tables, found as structure loot, or dropped from said magic mobs (like the war mage dropping a lightning bolt tome.) And at least one in particular would be used in a crafting recipe.
Change experience to souls, it's vaguely implied that souls exp is some life force, and it's used in magic like how souls are used in minecraft dungeons.
And what i call "deep enchanted items", weapons/ tools wiþ enchantmentsbaked into them at crafting, you'd use an alchemy table (a new crafting block crafted wiþ 3 crying obsidion, 2 netherite ingots, 2 candles of any type, 1 enchantment table, and 1 Spell tome: Arcane knowledge)
How it would work is that you'd collect the ingredients for the item you want make (they could be as mundain as stone or copper, or as exotic as wither stars, echo shard or lightning in a bottle) them you'd get soul sand to be the fuel source (like lapis for enchanting, or blaze powder for brewing), then you'd you go þrough the process of forging the item, mixing the materials and magic together which would be more complex/hands on then crafting/ enchanting/ brewing and would consume exp. And when you're done you'll have a weapon, tool, or armor stronger than normal enchanted items, they'd never degrade, and the non consumable ones would consume exp to use their magic.
Basically bring some of minecraft dungeons magic system in normal minecraft, and allow player to use some of the magic we kow and or speculate to exist.
I'd love to see a farming update with tons of new foods or the implementation of all features that have lost community votes
What about, hear me out, food update. What would it consist of? Actual meals. So instead of eating plain old steak 24/7 or chowing through entire amounts of bread everytime you lose hunger, you should be able to make a nice sandwich or something. Not via crafting table, but with a new counter item! Now food only giving hunger would be a little underused, people would just find one meta food and eat that all the time. Instead each meal should have a different use like stardew valley. For example : a dessert which gives speed buffs. Something like a burger that acts solely as a way to replenish hunger. A full course steak meal that gives defence and attack power etc.
I'd basically like an animal update. Basically just have Mojang go in and look at all the old animals in the game and give them a revamp.
Things like:
・Give the pig something to do. I think make them tameable and give them a new ability like truffle hunting maybe.
・Import all the variant cow; chicken; and pig skins from MInecraft: Earth to liven things up a bit.
・Finally give wolves variant skins since people have been wanting them for so long.
・Add a wander mode to tamed cats and wolves so they're not just sitting in the one spot all the time.
・Do something so that tamed cats and wolves aren't as likely to die if you take them with you.
・The ability to pet dogs.
・Make it so that ocelots and wolves actually eat what they kill rather than having them look like they're just killing for the fun of it.
・Make mob-based transport better to go with the maybe eventual elytra balancing.
・・Tweak llama breeding
・・Add in the ability to remove chests from llamas and donkeys/mules
・・The ability to take horses across oceans (a larger boat? horse frost walker?)
・Take the personality feature from pandas and give it to tameable animals that players actually spend time with like wolves and cats
・Finally fix the bug where squids beach themselves.
・I doubt it will happen but give squids a new model (the current one looks like programmer art by someone who hasn't seen a squid)
I don't know that it's as flashy as an End update, but I think that there's plenty of content there if Mojang were to look into it; and there are probably a whole lot of features they could add in besides just sprucing up the old stuff.
Those sound like a solid list of tweaks. Not sure about the Minecraft Earth skins though because some of them look quite unsuitable
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy Thanks!
I'm not sure what you mean about the skins being unsuitable... I've been using them in-game for a while now with a texture pack and nothing looks out of place?
I am talking about just the variant animal skins and not the mobs with mechanics different from vanilla?
To me it just seems a waste that Mojang has all these ready-made skins and isn't using them:
Pig: mottled; pale; piebald; pink footed; sooty; and spotted
Cow: albino; ashen; cookie; cream; dairy; pinto; and sunset
Chicken: amber; bronzed; gold crested; midnight; skewbald; and stormy

Yeah I'm not a fan of the variant animal skins. I can't really explain why, but I haven't played with them so I guess I can't talk haha
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy I guess that's the thing with texture changes, or any changes really. ^_^
A big thing for me though is also just the inclusion of in-game variant textures at all. It'd be nice to have that sorted out by the game rather than relying on Optifine jankiness.

Enchancements by Arathain may be a bit unbalanced, but really makes me want things like that to be in the game. Basically, it gets rid of durability, tiered enchantments, and straight up stat increases, and the enchantments are so cool that SHOVELS become viable in PVP, allowing you to hit the other player and break the block below them (putting a cooldown on the shovel ofc). Other things include a midair cloud jump type thing that can negate fall damage if timed well and fixes the elytra being too op, making late game movement much easier without having to use it. The enchantments are so creative and have information about them when hovered over on the enchantment table, promoting reading exact details, which is something I LOVE.
Another thing that would be cool is more cooldown related items, shields and ender pearls are so limiting for this feature that has a ton of potential, so much so that there isn’t a way to cooldown items by using commands to my knowledge.
Honestly, I've been thinking about it a lot a long time ago. Magic in minecraft only existed in some bits. Portals, Illagers, Ender Dragon itself, summoning the Wither, Enchantments, and even Alchemy exists. I really wanted magic to be given attention.
Honestly, I wanted an update for structures -- like, with lots of new structures in the overworld. Idk whether it would work...
Your thoughts about zombies & zombified piglins are intriguing. You mentioned that there was a distinction. After thinking about it, I realized: Zombified Piglins aren't zombies, but have the characteristics of a zombie. (i.e., "zombified.") Which means they are not classically undead, but instead beat-up versions of the healthier mobs. We heard something like this at Minecraft Live 2022. In Minecraft: Legends, Piglins decay gradually, but they don't die to become zombified.
I can't think of why it would be so important for these mobs to not be undead, but I would love to hear your thoughts!
Yeah, once Minecraft Legends got announced I figured the distinction was leading up to that. Interestingly, they've also deleted the translation page explaining the change...
Could be a structure update like updating dungeons, sand temples, jungle temples, woodland mansions, witch huts, igloos and villages.
Imo the worst part about the end is how little there is to do.
You go, you get boxes, the final solution for items, and elytras, the best movement, and you are done unless you want a very rarely used colour palette of purple or cheese or are using an enderman based exp farm, which is generally inferior to zombie piglin farms due to the extra usability of gold in piglin trades.
I love your ideas and details that you put in the video, so much effort!
Thank you!
Hello everyone this is Jeb from the Minecraft team. We have been expending the last years preparing the next update to Caves and Cliffs and this time we wanted to out do ourselves with even better content. After listening to the community and your feedback we have prepared a very anticipated update that many of you have been waiting for. That's right. We are updating the Birch Forest! We have reworked this biome to generate fallen birch trees that can reach up to 4 logs in length! You can also find a new type of flower we call "the yellow flower" and its yellowish properties allow to be mixed with the other yellow flowers, avoiding repetition in your yellow gardens. But that's just the begining. We have taken a gamble with this next feature that might break the resource economy and we will have to carefully monitor this in the snapshots before the final release. The content we are talking about is none other than an increment in the rabbit spawn rate within the reworked birch forest to a whapping 1.5x from the regular one. Thank you everyone for watching the Minecraft Live this year, and stay mining!
I feel like a good direction for Minecraft to go in combat wise would be a sort of souls-like style. Specifically in slots for weapons instead of using the hotbar, maybe a leveling system or upgrade system for weapons, since experience is similar to souls, blood echoes or runes
Magic is a pretty great concept in a game like minecraft, it's a shame it doesn't live up to it's true potential. I hope that the upcoming update will be or could at least try to expand upon existing vanilla magic mechanics or adding something completely new. I personally would like to see Mojang's take on staffs and tombs from games like terraria.
Minecraft needs a complete overhaul of its dungeons. Currently "dungeons" are just a box with a spawner in it. Yes there's temples but they're far and few between.
Mojang needs to expand the game much further past the end and then all the new features won’t feel so crammed into one little spot during gameplay
It would also be cool a science update.
Imagine if alongside with the potions you could extract properties out of Mobs flesh, making unique foods and maybe creating artificial mobs, it could combine with redstone and etc... It would be cool play scientist in Minecraft.
The Enchanting Table idea is great. Brewing ingredience could give a increased change to get a enchant simular to it.
Blaze powder is used from strength so it could increase chance for charpness. For example
In the mod I mentioned, blaze powder is tied to fire related enchantments. Though the mod has vanilla items as default so it could be tied to a different item with a different obtainment method
good to see someone who knows a lot about mc but sucks at it like me too
I mean the Wild Update is kinda what he was talking about? Like its based on adventuring so it probably will make the path to the end more interesting.
Possibly, though I'm not counting on it
@@MinecraftIdeasAcademy like i dont think they can call it the WILD update and *not* at least spice up the progress to the end since from what i can tell its based on adventuring since compared to the other recent updates (apart from 1.15) it would be kind of lacking if it was like well uhhhh its like biomes and uh couple of mobs that would be underwhelming. All in all im really exited about what they do with the wild update and im sure that the mojang team wont dissapoint :).
One thing i’ve wanted for a long time is better or custom boats, like the ones you see wrecked on the seafloor. Something like Archimedes Ships. It would allow for a more nomadic playstyle and facilitate exploration on a massive scale.
I'm old enough to remember when The End didn't even exist.
Your profile picture is scary cool.
IDEA for WARDEN Drop
After killing Warden, you get cursed by a debuff, which soaks XP from you. The amount XP it drains is equal to how much of Skulk grows out of your near vicinity. You can get XP back by breaking skulk blocks, which can store XP as shown in lastest minecraft live
That sounds pretty cool but I don't think there will be a warden drop since you're not supposed to kill it
If it comes to magic- after some theories of xp being the "life force" in Minecraft and how Totems of Undying might be more of a magic focus than death prevention tool I just want some spells.
And about creature that spawns from your corpse- this would fit the theory... Since xp is the accumulated life force from other creatures a high ammount might combine into something alive
i want a combat update. get in contact with the spartan weapons and shields guy and make it into vanilla. All of those would be so nice.
Also, since minecraft’s 1.19 update is so simple and easier, i wonder if they are hiding some secrets to release with the deep dark. That new area could potentially add some new enchanting, items, and certain mechanics in doing stuff
Well we already have sculk blocks as XP storage so perhaps!
well they said in minecraft live that the deep dark cities do in fact have unique loot inside of them so there is a chance it might be enchanting ralated
As Mojang does, it would be boring if they showed everything in Minecraft Live, I would believe some more game changer things will be delayed for 1.20/1.21 as Mojang bit a little more than they could chew with 1.17/1.8
Minecraft Ideas Academy: We want a magical update
Me chilling with mods:
We got frog and chest boat!
Totally new to Minecraft fell in love got the "Healing Power of Friendship" in first 6 hrs, I like that you can't cheat the achievements and rather enjoy the thrill of creating in survival, more interesting (haven't even been to the Nether yet let alone End lol) yes, easier no.
With the experience so far I don't mind it and looking at some of the "lore" theories really see "exp" more as soul points than anything, of course up to interpretation I like the loose hint at some obscure lore there in the world. If there was absolutely none I think I would loose interest in the game and all sense of discovery or wonder would be gone when exploring. That being said a magic update would be lovely.
Great video 👍
The way sculk spreads seems to imply that experience is soul related
It's clear their going to do a farming update, bees already laid down the ground work
They could definitely play a big part.
Hemp farm.
You guys are awesome, I learn a lot about game design from your videos, it allows me to appreciate vanilla Minecraft as well the mods made by Team Abnormals. Speaking of which those mods are amazing, I can't imagine making a mod pack without them because they are so polished. Thank you for everything you guys do!
I like the idea of fleshing out magic because the current systems are lacking. I feel like this could align well with a bit of an End overhaul, as the End is a more magical dimension.
Update Name: Endless Magic
I wouldn't call the end magical, more alien
An update I'd like to see is one focusing on golems, I always found these guys cool and it always irked me that only two types exist despite there being a lot of materials in the game
I’ve noticed that everything in Minecraft is consistent with a magic system centered around ritual magic and related mechanics.
Portals, inscription of materials, golem construction, soul energy infusion for potion making, etc.
Naturally, a game based around construction will have a magic system based around ‘construction.
I feel like spellcraft could be used with a lectern surrounded by bookshelves, costing experience to use the book every time you cast the spell.
No matter how many times I look at this thumbnail, the creeper ghost's hands do not look like hands.
two words,
WILD UPDATE
