Don't forget the new use for wool: Silent movement and Sculk Suppression

i think its okay for things to be added for the purpose of aesthetic/decoration. it makes the game feel more fleshed out at least in my opinion

Boats have to be the best aged item in Minecraft tho. You could accidentally break your boat into sticks bcz of a random lilypad

Soul Sand breaths. If you wear headphones when you mine it you can hear a sigh as it breaks. It also has faces of tortured souls all over it. Water doesn’t come out of it, air does.

I think the best aged feature is the nether, at first, it was a barren waste land just to get glowstone and quartz and lava. Then, they added new mobs and the nether fortress, and made it easential to go there to complete the game, then came the nether update in 1.16 after ages of no updates to it. The nether update doesnt need an explanation

I really love these talkie episodes where you take a deeper dive into different aspects of the game. Im a sucker for good trivia and such so definitely grabs my attention lol

Slabs were one of the best features that have aged only a little but quite well. From starting only able to break wood planks with a pickaxe (not a axe) to having so many different types and being able to break it with an axe lol. Same with fences and even wood itself. Going from just oak planks from any tree to 6+ trees that have different versions of oak. Not to mention when wall were added it expanded creativity and gave many more options within building. God they’ve done so much right and I hope to see more done right soon!

With wool you forgot to mention the whole sound mechanic introduced in 1.19, how wool blocks block sound from skulk sensors and stuff, and how it makes your walking silent. Not super significant, but i think it's a really smart and logical way to add more use to wool

I feel like bees are one of the most underrated features in Minecraft and have aged very well. To be fair, bees were a lot more polished when they first released than newly released features are now. They feel like one of the few recent additions to Minecraft that actually felt finished at launch. However, since then, they’ve somehow become even more useful, as honeycomb can now be used to wax copper and create candles. Bees are also the most recent mob that can be actually useful to farm, and I think we can all agree that making goat farms useless was a huge missed opportunity.

I think they should make woodland mansions more common, they only spawn like 10k+ blocks from spawn and the loot isn't with it most of the time

The hunger bar is probably a update that aged so well. It literally changed the entire game and allowed for better maps and play styles (PARKOUR BABY!). Not to mention it allowed for the XP system to come in the updates and changed healing/eating forever with stackable foods.

@5:50 Canonically, the bubbles are the result of the trapped souls being released. The only quirk to this is that it mildly implies that all water in Minecraft is Holy Water.

The fireworks also got even better in village and pillage because you can make rocket launchers with them and a crossbow.

Awe 😢 Gravel didn’t get any love…. But it was upgraded to be used in concrete at least, plus a texture change.

I like to put hoppers leading to a chest under carpets around a town bell, That way when villagers miss tossing food to each other the food ends up in the hoppers. Great auto farm. Quick, cheep and easy.

I really thought he would put desert wells as the best well-aged feature.

Don’t think I’ll ever stop loving this game, been with me throughout my entire childhood. I hope to carry that love on throughout my adulthood and possibly children. Thank you Ibxtoycat for making me love the game even more through your videos ❤️.

So, I was fishing in Minecraft the other day. Ended up getting an enchanted book which had efficiency, lure and fortune on it. Don't know how that happened, but there it is.

Nah honestly the woodland mansion aged pretty badly imo. Especially with 1.14 adding evokers in raids to make it much easier to obtain totems with whole totem farms being created and an upcoming update allowing you to easily duplicate allays

3:39 damn the wool back then looked really cool, the shades of color from light green to the violet blue block look so cool

Toycat couldn't hold himself from talking about the ceiling at the end.

I think Allays should be exclusive to the Woodland Mansion, once Allay duplication is added, and if they Allays would be there 100% of the time. The difficulty of the Allay is obtaining them for the first time, so putting them in this super hard to find mansion would be a big reward for those who adventure out there. Once duplication gets added, you'll only need to rescue a single Allay and you'll be set for life.

I wish I didnt have to go so far for mansions. It feels like a chore

11:23 “The Testificate didn’t make anything feel more alive, it just made everyone feel confused” Smooth roast

The introduction of Lapis to enchantment system was the greatest thing in the history of minecraft

I gotta disagree with you on the woodland Mansion. There is still basically no reason to go to it, besides the experience. I literally had to travel 50k blocks to find one using the map. The one really good feature about them that was added was the totem, but its a million times easier to just go to a raid. And the allay feature was initially useful, but now that the allays are breedable its better to just got to a pillager outpost.

I remember making a sheep farm to get beds to find ancient debris definately another way to utilize wool to find ancient debris

Villagers do make something feel more alive. It makes the village more alive, the reason they are in the game is because the villages had no people.

Fireworks going from a *just a fun thing* to REALLY useful I hope the same happens for the goat horn in the future

I wouldn't know which features have aged the best but I appreciate this video and others like it as a bit of a history of minecraft.

Now leggings have a custom enchant A moment of silence for our dear chestplate

Them changing cookies from taming parrots to kill Parrots was a good feature. Though it was annoying when I first tried to tame (without knowing they updated it) and just straight up killed a parrot

The Deep Dark really increases the usefulness of pumpkins. Snow golems are an AMAZING distraction.

How is toycat so good at making the most painful looking gameplay for the background?

Firework rockets can also be used as ammunition in crossbows to make pseudo rocket launchers and flak guns

I sometimes think it'd be nice to have a system where villagers give better deals based on their standard of living. Like having a rout to the town bell, having large areas to wander about, having doors and such.

best aged feature is the player. they added the player, then eventually added the inventory, added crafting, added crouching, added sprinting, added the offhand, added epic swimming. players aged well

How can we forget about the handy torch, which prevents any mosters from spawning in your base. This was updated to no mobs can spawn past level 0. I think it should be in the list

Fireworks can also be used in the crossbow. Which if crafted correctly (fireworks), is the best weapon in the game.

Another use for wool that you covered later on - Iron Farms after 1.14 And another one for Techincal Players on Bedrock (W10 and PE) - Foxy's Marker Packer uses Banners (Which could also count as one for the Armor Stand)

Your endscreen “joke” hit home!!! I really did make some great friendships through this game and one very awesome parasocial friendship 😉

Love love love this video! This is one of the things I love about Minecraft. Updating and refreshing things that we already have in the game. I'm still waiting on the fletcher table though but I love the work and care behind the game's development.

Wool is my hero. Aesthetics, Function, mechanics, it has it all

And may this happen to other features as well. 🙏

20:20 in bedrock 1.18.30, they made tons and tons of combat parity changes, INCLUDING MAGIC PROTECTION as an addition to regular ol' protection 👍

I have a feeling that Minecraft is going to enter another dead period, with the changes happening to the game right now.

Not only would the boats break easily, but it would also be difficult to turn in a different direction, therefore the chances of crashing and breaking your boat would be great. They also looked so goofy!

The title of minecraft aged the best

17:02 We should be talking about how Aussies have it so tough, that instead of getting Java or Bedrock editions of the game, they get a Creeper

Shulker boxes… Each can hold 27 full stacks. You can have 36 of them in your inventory at once. That means you can have 972 stacks of items in your inventory. That’s a total of 62,208 blocks. Each block is a cubic meter. 1 cubic meter of gold is ~19,100 kilograms, 1,188,172,800 kilograms in your inventory. That’s ~1,188,173 tonnes, or 1.188 megatons. Now, assume you’re using netherite blocks, instead. One netherite ingot is 4 gold ingots and 4 netherite scraps. We do not know the density of netherite scraps, however, it’s at least 4x the gold per block of netherite, bringing that to 4.75 megatons. Now, a gold ingot is ~2,122kg, since 9 of them make 1m^3. That means a netherite ingot is more than 8.488kg. A diamond is ~3.5g/cm*3, and since a block is a cubic meter, 1 diamond is 388.9 kg. A full set of diamond gear is 9,333.333333… kg, and a full netherite set is far greater than 43,285kg. Doesn’t add much more weight, tho Needless to say, can easily hold 5 megatons and still sprint at full speed and jump at full height

don't forget about dirt, it has so many uses now!

Can you please continue your deep dark / ancient city survival? 😄

We love your content toycat!

Why do I go into any Toycat video expecting him to not abandon the topic to give us his hot take on baby formula shortages? I guess it’s the same reason I’m subbed.

That mug is absolutely genius merch

The screams of the souls push you up through the water. It’s the air form the screams that pushes you up

Toycat roasting hardcore players is funny lol

I can't believe Toycat made this list and didn't even mention the Desert Well

I don't think Concrete needs anything. It's a building block, not too hard to obtain, colour variety, doesn't burn down to lightning and I see many people using it. Sure, you could add a new recipe that uses Concrete, but something needs to be an end-point of those recipes, and just a good all-around building block is already a pretty good end of a recipe chain.

Oh that thumbnail. Yeah boats used to be useless. They’re still useless on pocket edition because the controls are impossible but they’re way better. I remember coming to 1.14 and I hit my boat and didn’t believe that they didn’t break. That was fun.

9:21 Remember when Netherite Hoes were renewable via bartering in the early 1.16 snapshots?

11:51 Isn’t that how copper is pretty? Being pretty is a nice use It would be nice for it to be like Quartz, a good building block with some other usages (which you can now buy from Villagers and Piglins)

20:25 normal protection is like magic protection , it can reduce magic damage and also it wouldn't really make sense and would end up like projectile protection

Honestly? I'd actually say Chests are one of the features that aged the best. The reason why it is not an obvious pick to mention is that it was always a very obviously vital feature to the game, not being limited to just one inventory. But they just got so much better over the years that the scale is rediculous.

1:10 The subtitles call it”the totem of fun dying “😂

Gold has been improved a lot in 1.16.

My Toycat hoodie ALREADY arrived. I ordered it right after your last stream!

Great video as always!

Rollin a blunt listenin to toycat

One of the funniest videos in recent memory. Great work! 😂

I thought the best aged feature was the desert well.

They also made Lapis Renewable from Villagers (a doubly good aging process)

Thanks for reminding me that I probably won’t die with someone toycat lmao

With the soul sand, they are not pushing out water, it's air so it makes way more sense

man i love your channel, your sense of humor is A+, honestly reminds me of (rip) technoblade's but your vids are educative and i, as a noob appreciate it (started playing MC in 2009-10, quit around the time they introduced banners, came back a month ago... the game's finally enjoyable but i'm noob again)

Dude my jaw dropped when I saw the villagers trading AMONGST THEMSELVES

Man seeing your super flat survival progress is something else, also these are all very nicely aged features!

Toycat, should we suggest 1.20 to be the parity update?

Some modpacks add a feature to concrete that makes it give you a speed boost. Great for making paths

i think the reason bedrock sells so much more is that it's wayyy less expensive to get a family console, and download bedrock onto it, or to just buy bedrock on your phone tablet etc, than it is to buy an entire pc and java edition, especially since it seems like you need a beast of a pc to even be able to play java minecraft.

16:45 He’s brought up this point a lot, and it’s really just a false equivalency. Saying “Java edition sells less than Bedrock edition” is essentially the same thing as saying “Minecraft for PC sells less than Minecraft for mobile, Xbox, Switch, and PS4/5 combined. Like, OBVIOUSLY! Of COURSE it sells less than combining a version that runs on nearly every other platform! Compare the Java PC sales with the Bedrock PC sales, and this just gets entirely reversed. Of course, now that they’ve been partially combined, a sale for one version on Windows means a sale for the other version as well. But this would be prior to the merge.

Gonna go waaay outside the box on this one: The best aged Minecraft feature is the community it raised. Just think about how many creatives it helped to raise and what it could give back to the world. Even just staying inside the lane of gaming: mapmakers and modders... a crapton of people who had their first coding experiences with redstone or modding. Or just the ripple effect of raising creators like you who can add a ton to people's lives with these discussions. And my absolute fav: Vintage Story, a now standalone indie game based on a TerrafirmaCraft (MC mod) fork. Minecraft basically created a genre, and as it's growing up, we can see some other real contenders aiming to fulfill different niches. Vintage Story's more hardcore survival currently grips me a ton. But there is also the Hytale hype train lol.

I HATE that they went back and force us to use hoes on stuff. It’s so annoying that they made it so that the nether mushroom wart blocks don’t despawn after removing the stem blocks to arbitrarily punish us for not using a hoe.

Hey remember the old overworld nether for bedrock using obsidian and a reactor block using gold blocks and diamonds to be made however this was removed when they gave bedrock the nether also this was for mobile devices at the time

moral of this video Mojang is against animal cruelty but pro slavery

I miss the OG stonecutter :(

Imagine how weird Minecraft would be if there were no paintings...

The max number of stacks you can hold including the left hand is ironically 999 and not thousands. Checkmate, Toycat is no.

Okay so the 1.9 update was controversial, the 1.19.1 update is super controversial, then just you wait for 1.29.2!

Lol the hard core shade, I’m here for it!

you should do the inverse of this video, features that haven't aged well, or somthin. that'd be interesting...

Since I'm here within seconds, I just want to say I truly appreciate your work Toycat, peace.

Toycat is going to live forever just because death wants you to continue to think of it. 🤔💀

I feel so old when he said it's been 5 years since the better together update

Id venture to guess its the screams of the souls trapped in the blocks that are creating the bubbles

Also, I remember the first time I found a woodlan mansion , I was doing a survival world with my dad and we decided to go explore , we saw it and thought it was a desert monument because it was on the beach

Next thing you know mojang discontinues minecraft bedrock edition to make minecraft grass edition in order to double the sales.

Nice video ibxtoycat

The passive aggressiveness of this video is beautiful. Also the child joke made me laugh so hard

I only have one problem with the boat chest. Why use a boat chest when you can use a llama that can be customised for style points and shoot at stuff too? This is a joke by the way.
