    considering that the game is now owned by microsoft these votes just end up feeling kind of like a slap to the face, it’s like holding a thousand dollars in your hands and asking whether someone wants a piece of gum or a bouncy ball.

      They could’ve added all three options 10 times over and more with the effort required for holding the vote.

        also: reminder that minecraft still doesn’t have any sort of LOD, while at least 2 separate teams have managed to implement it just fine as mods.

        This is a basic graphics feature that has been standard in games for ages now.

          Also reminder that Minecraft’s (java) rendering engine is so poorly written that a mod team of 2-3 devs can speed up the entire fucking game by DOUBLE just by writing basic optimizations.

          It’s obvious they’ve gradually shifted to cash extraction than actual game building after the Microsft acquisition, coupled with forced data collection via Microsoft accounts, it’s turning into an ugly game tbh.

    My opinion: All are shit

    1. Crab: People are looking forward to not struggling anymore with the block reach, but jokes on them, if you increase the reach by one block, you’ll run into the same issue, just as quickly. Only because you can build one block farther doesn’t mean that you don’t have to jump to place a block
    2. Armadillo: Nobody uses dogs. They are useless, slow, weak and horse armor is more useful. They serve as furniture, unlike cats which can be used in farms.
    3. Penguins: Ice biomes are too rare. Also literally just another dolphin. If I see ice and want to go fast, I put my boat on the ice, not in the water.

    Actually degenerate mob selection. How are these useful? Rather make the bats useful
