Ngl, I didn't expect actual interesting stuff so soon after the copper golems, and other bits lol. I feel like there's usually like a 1.5 year gap between significant changes, but im kinda excited for the stuff they announced

    Someone cooked/is cooking means they are doing something impressive or cool

    Someone is cooked means they did something bad

    another reason to not just use the elytra is always a plus, and another bit of regular, tiered gear is great - hoping they do that for armour next, which tends to be really samey compared to the tool/weapon variety the game has.

    it's unfortunate that both the Nautilus and spears were both leaked beforehand, since it got people speculating about a much larger ocean update which was never gonna be the case. Mojang's official teasers also basically confirmed the Nautilus leak, which didn't help.

    while i'm fine with them doing smaller updates and touching up old areas of the game, i did find myself saying "cool, but that was it?", like i did when the happy ghast was announced. really hoping they have something good planned for 1.22 - i would be satisfied with something similar in size to 1.21, but it feels like the community will implode if they don't do an end update at some point soon.

    edited to add: there will probably be more stuff added in snapshots than what they've announced here, like there has been for every other "game drop", so that's probably not it. still, wish they at least said that... unless they did, and i missed it...

    Mojang has been moving hell and high water to redo almost the entirety of Minecraft Java to make moding support easier, and to improve stability.

    Additionally, just because modders can do something in a few hours doesn't mean Mojang didn't put a ton of design work and playtesting into that feature.

    I will judge again when we see actual technical changelogs, I don't really like the modders do it quicker argument It just takes time testing features and making them properly in a game studio, but again it's not really much a different new mechanic sure there is the spear, but that's it, I liked the copper age update keep doing that it's not much, but it's noticeable features

    For free.

    How many other games give you as much free "DLC" at Minecraft, year after year? And the game was lower cost to begin with.

    If this was any other game, every one of these updates would be $10 and/or the whole platform would have gone to an annual subscription a long time ago

    Nautilus and Spear are not inside the Copper Age game drop.
