10 Minecraft updates fans would like in the future

1) Ambiance

leon0399 suggested that more ambient effects and sounds could significantly improve the game’s atmosphere. They proposed adding particle effects and fireflies, which would make players appreciate rain instead of skipping it. Many replies supported this idea, with some fans stating that the current rain is too harsh and loud.

A lighter, more serene version of rain could coexist with the current harsh rain while adding to player enjoyment. Additionally, ThatOnePirateRobot highlighted how the ambiance Mojang introduced in the Nether was a great improvement, suggesting similar efforts could benefit other dimensions.


2) Reworked mobs

ThatNoname-Guy pointed out that Mojang should rework mobs introduced before version 1.17. For example, while the camel has fluid animations, older mobs like horses appear stiff and robotic. They believe Mojang’s newer design philosophy should be applied retroactively to older mobs.

Users added their thoughts, with Pixelblock62 calling for reworks of animals like cows, pigs, and chickens to resemble their real-life counterparts more closely. However, this sparked debate, with some fans arguing these classic designs are too iconic to change.


3) More village variants

A comment thread by ressurrectionlegend discussed the need for more village variants, specifically mentioning jungle and swamp villages. Many fans agreed, noting how such additions could benefit the game’s biomes.

The conversation also went into villager mechanics, with some fans criticizing the current methods of transporting villagers, like using leads is questionable. A user pointed out that Mojang’s potential new trade rules added through village variants could reduce the exploitation of villagers for trades like mending.


4) Redstone update

SinisterPixel proposed innovative ideas for a redstone update. They suggested introducing sticky redstone, which could scale walls using honey or slime blocks. Another idea was resmelting copper ingots into copper dust, which would function like redstone but wouldn’t connect to existing redstone lines.

Other ideas included copper pressure plates and buttons that stay active longer as they oxidize, reducing the need for pulse extenders. Additional features like gold-powered "superpowered" rails and minecarts that can hold two entities were also proposed.


5) The End update

New biomes, mobs, bosses, and even a new ore type, dubbed endrite could be added to the game. Given the success of the Nether update, fans believe The End could similarly benefit from substantial improvements.


6) Optimization update

Minecraft’s availability across various devices makes optimization crucial. IronGlory247 mentioned struggling to run 32×32 resource packs on an i7 processor with an RTX 4080 GPU. Although some fans criticized this claim, the need for optimization remains valid.

Economy_Analysis_546 noted that the Buzzy Bees update included some optimization improvements but argued that a dedicated optimization update is overdue.

The debate also touched on the voting system itself, with users saying fans got overwhelmed by the responsibility of choosing.
