The most infuriating thing about the mob votes to me is how Mojang makes it so that popular features are “locked” behind one of the prospective mobs.
Like many people support the armadillo being added because they want wolf armor.
But Mojang could just add wolf armor. In fact it makes no sense at all that you would need a whole new material to craft wolf armor, it’s totally pointless. There’s no reason at all wolf armor couldn’t be found in chests just like horse armor and be made from the basic materials already in the game.
In fact this would be better, because adding a new material for each new slightly different purpose is just bloat that makes the game harder to play due to the already hellish inventory situation.
But Mojang knows the best way to hype up the new update (apart from actually adding things people want lmao) is to get people to fight over what they want to be added.
please can we have an update that’s just adding all the shit that’s been “confirmed” and promised for like 5 years before doing any new stuff
It’s very much in line with their recent ethos. Every update has to be new and shiny and add something previously unseen. It can’t build on what’s already there. No modifications, only additions. In another universe the Sniffer’s abilities were just added onto the pig. Pigs remain pink rectangles because they’re already added and that means they have to find new, different, other things to add.
Cherry wood has its own set of sounds different from all other wood. Every leafy plant has the exact same sound except moss. Camels lay down and goats ram and sniffers sniff, but cows do nothing but moo.
