    Microsoft has made no inputs into Minecraft. It’s been the direction of Mojang the entire time.

    Paid content on the Minecraft Bedrock store is almost entirely 3ed party.

    Minecraft has been content complete for 8 years now and the team has continued to improve the game, for free since then. No other game in history has that level of continuous, free expansion.

    The create mod is not the direction that Mojang wants to take the game it. What a daft example.

    Mojang and even Notch didn’t want the Mincraft world to be filled with mobs. The mob votes allow the fan base to choose a new creature to add to the game without the developers adding too many mobs to the game. IMHO, there are too many mobs in the game as it is right now. We should only get new mobs as part of a biome update(armadillos with a desert update or snakes in a savanna update) but the utility has to be thought about as well. Players were frothing for penguins but they lack utility to the base game, we don’t want another creature that drops feathers and eggs or another useless bat mob.

      Terraria comes to mind. And those updates have been just as substantial, maybe more.

        WAY more substantial, let’s be real here. I stopped playing for a couple years and when I came back it was practically a whole new game.

        And then that same thing happened no fewer than two more times.

        Every “final” update has felt fair, they’ve already added so much, and then there’s still more.

      I wish they would go back and do something with the mobs they did add that add nothing. We definitely do not need more of them.
