Minecraft Reveals New Mob Variants And Much More In Latest Content Drop

Please…stop…with the variants, the originals were so iconic why change that

@PikminMarioKirby honestly I’m torn. On the one hand I appreciate the newly added variety to the game, but a part of me feels like they’re losing a bit of the game’s iconic quality that made it nostalgic for so many people. Overall it’s probably a good thing though, and they’re easy enough to remove from the game via mods

@PikminMarioKirby I mean, the originals aren’t going away though. These are just variants for cold and warm biomes. Personally, I’d love to see more variants for mobs, especially using some of the types they had when Minecraft Earth was a thing. The game has been kinda stagnant for a long time visually, and this is a refreshing change.

I like the cows and the leaves. Also the video was funny.

Mojang needs to take notes from Hello Games on how to handle updates.

@SplatRay001 - Games have been giving us variants since Mario Bros. and Dragon Quest.

But we draw the line at... Minecraft?

@Paraka forgive me if my comment came off as overly harsh. I think it’s cool that they are willing to change elements of the game that have been the same for years. I was put off at first because Minecraft has been a certain way in my mind for so many years, so changing it is always going to be weird

My dream of a special sponge that can absorb lava continues...

Unless they offer different biome benefits, or like new mobs, who cares. I don't want visual changes to the same mobs. I didn't care for ore/block changes either. The art style change was eh, can go without it.

I never care for skins or variations in any other games. I care about functionality not what textures look like. It can be invisible for all I care and have outlines. But functionality wise a pigs/cow and wood log are still just that with the same functionality given, I don't care how immersive it is, it's boring, functionality changes things.

I don't play games for real world logic or visual variety I play them for gameplay, something many seem to not do with their boring real world logic or dull ideas developers. Oh my hobby into the game, how about your shove it developers and make something actually worth my time, yet you continue to not do so. Modders understand quality of life features, why do paid people not and have so many meetings and time wasted yet modders can go yep done, discord meetings or just do it themselves.

Not this team/waste of time and reporting nonsense that gets in the way and weak ideas by weak inside the box people. It's just hilarious. No matter the team size, the effort/lack of compelling ideas/prototyping is why games suck.

I am sick and tired of cosmetics. Give me gameplay, I don't care about immersion with boring reskins of animals.

It's like new blocks, oh cosmetic, useless moving on. They can look nice but I don't want say birds and they 'fill in the world' that's boring. I want them to have a use.

I don't want more Polar Bear or Glowsquid like useless mobs.

I don't want just a filler visuals update.

Updates these days have been terrible, mob votes were joke by players votes wanting a seed mob than interaction or mining benefits one so that was stupid. But Mojang's own functionality to the mobs or blocks is it's own problem as well more than players.

But when players want a end update when WE GOT ONE in 1.9 with the outer biome Chorus plants and things like give it up players who cares. I play enough to go I would rather not civilised buildings of villages in other dimensions or other structures.

Divine RPG was boring for hit mobs, get items, make weapons, move to next dimension, time after time.

Dungeons and beneficial items sure.

Tech mod features yes or quality of life are my go to. So the crafting features sure, most others have been visually, functionality wise boring updates.

Cave update/algorithm changes I hate too but they do change up the game so I can respect them even if I hated them 1.7.2 and 1.16 and 1.18 but let them pass 'when' the game loads biomes right.

@IronDaughter Besides modding I wonder if it may happen but I doubt it. Then again with the many things in april fools updates or came later like coloured glass or others things WAY too late who knows. Mojang hasn't really impressed me with updates in years.

Quality of life stuff yes, but I'd love a lava sponge. I enjoy them with mods. They need more cauldron in the nether to use water kind of odd ideas for gameplay, but they seem to refuse to do so and make boring updates instead.

At first I thought the furrier cow was facing the camera and was like a Highland cattle with hair over its eyes, which would have been cute.
