1.19(.4) was the last good version of minecraft change my mind
I still play 1.8.9.
Hummmmm you not wrong or right your idk tbh 1.20 and the upcoming 1.21 update add new features but there not really major so idk
Whichever update changed the combat mechanics was the end for me.
This is the kind of progress that can only happen once a game has been in the hands of a multi trillion dollar company for a decade.
I love all the new variants, my favorites are the black wolf and the chestnut wolf
Why the fuck is the wolf getting skinned
Ok but like let’s be real who actually fights with their wolves instead of just leaving them sitting in their base somewhere. Can the armor be dyed? That might help a bit
yes it can be dyed, and it dyes like leather armor so it’s got a wide color spectrum
People don’t fight with their dogs because they die too easily, that’s what they’re fixing.
I feel like letting pets/horses respawn sitting at pet beds/hay bales would massively increase their useage. You’d still have to go back home if you want to keep exploring with them, but not you can have some investment without easily losing everything.
Some smarter AI that actively avoids lava and cactus would be nice. Retreating when hurt could be good too.
I rarely keep my dogs sitting(unless im over lava or the void)
But now they are creeper proof
It’s great for having them in your base. The little outfit is so cute, and yes. You can dye it.
Nobody, minecraft has a gigantic balancing issue in favor of the player
Still traumatised by the skeleton rework
As a non gamer this completely ruined the game for me ngl. I couldn’t explore caves or hang out at night outside of peaceful mode anymore, lest I get my shit rocked by a skeleton armed with what may as well have been hollow point heat seeking arrows.
True
You are still a kid right? RIGHT!!! Fuck I’m old
Looks like a flesh suit
I mean…
I really wish I could find a wolf around. I found only one in my world and I messed up and hit him with the bone instead.
Is this some kind of Minecraft I’m too RuneScape to understand?
Osrs or rs3
Neither. RSC!
Hell yeah
Better?
Flesh wolf
Skin me please!
Is that wolf armor?

WELCOME TO TRIPPLE AAA GAMES 2024 EDITION!!
Oh goshdarnit, I was so confused why they made the wolf fur this weird salmon/brick color. Apparently, that’s an armadillo shell…? They really turned Minecraft into modded Minecraft, didn’t they?
Vanilla Minecraft gets less and less “vanilla” every year.
I mean, it’s been getting regular updates for 15 years now. Of course it’s going to change.
They did also add fur variants based on the biome they spawn in
I mean, I can get behind that. It doesn’t increase gameplay complexity and people enjoy having their doggos in different colors.
But adding a whole new mob and items for one specific niche purpose, that increases complexity quite a bit. New players will have no idea what to do with the armadillo drops, without looking it up or being told by that AI narrator thing, I guess.
Hm, sounds like the opening paragraph to a mod, we should call it “better than armadillo’s” and essentially fork Minecraft into the game we think it should be.
Oh, what’s that? Modders did that with wolves 10 years ago… oh, I’m old.
Oh the reference. That was my introduction to minecraft mods. Better than wolves was so good for the time. I miss the feel of the early modding scene.
Not to mention, turtle scutes were already a thing, and you only use them for two things.
I think the scutes unlock the wolf armor recipe. It shows up in a corner for a bit and appears permanently in the recipe book
How a player would learn how to get the scutes without outside help is harder to answer
Hmm, okay, that seems more reasonable then. I didn’t know they had a recipe book built-in these days.
And well, at least you don’t need wolf armor, so even if you never find armadillos, it’s not a problem.
How is it bad that you have to figure something out in a game?
I’m not saying there shouldn’t be puzzles. I’m criticizing that this puzzle is impossible to solve.
No one will wish to protect their dog and then realize they need to place 6 armadillo scutes in a chair-like pattern into a crafting grid.Some might try to brute-force crafting patterns with armadillo scutes, but that is not fun.
And just looking up what to do with armadillo scutes, that is not fun either.I can see your point. Other have sad that it should follow the horsearmor pattern. Which would make it a guess like “I wonder if I can use this animal part like the other animal parts which fill the same role.”
That way you could formulate an educated guess and be happy when it turns out right.
We voted for this lmao
Let’s not besmirch the name of modded Minecraft. I just got my mekanism fission reactor running and the nuclear fallout from messing that up would make a 8 chunk area unlivable for 29 game days.
Vanilla can have it’s fucking armadillos, lol.
minecraft the chernoyble update
I don’t know what mods it was, but I remember playing with friends in s very chill server, each doing whatever crap they wanted when suddenly we all died and our mountain base was wiped and one of them was like “I didn’t cool well the nuclear reactor”. Probably the most I laughed in a game, aside from cyberpunk on PS4 on release day.
There’s a couple of mods that do that, but I remember watching a streamer nuke a small town for the luls (his fans were on server and were cool with it). Nowadays most packs have anti-greving stuff, though, which is a double edged sword as claimed chunks can’t even get damaged by creepers.
That said, I think my favorite is Thaumcrafts oopsies— too much magic, you get eldrich horrors tearing the very fabric of reality. It’s very unsettling and does turn every block to a corrupted stone that’s a pain to break.
Yes
