We all asked for a cave update so much, so mojang gave us one for 4 years straight

According to leaks from Mojang, the main issue with the slow development is not some sort of difficulty in coding, it’s a nightmare of bureaucratic hoops that Microsoft is forcing Mojang to jump through in order to get permission to add anything new to the game.

the bundle is amazing for me because I'm the kind of person to carry around 3 seeds, 8 poppies, and 12 granite while looting some random structure

We still don't have: -Updated Birch Forests (new trees, plants, fungi) -Updated Desert Biome (palm trees, meerkats) -Updated Savanna Biome (ostriches, baobab trees, termites) -Updated Badlands Biome (vultures, cactus flowers, tumbleweeds) -Fireflies (seriously who thought frogs eating MAGMA SLIMES was better?!) -Moobloom, or any other mob vote losers -Furnace Minecart JUSTICE FOR THE FURNACE MINECART

How to break someone’s heart in just 6 words: “concept art is not a commitment”

They're treating bundles like it's a NASA equation to learn the trajectory to Mars by using a gravitational slingshot off of Jupiter. Just add the bag to the game..

Since the fletching table still has no use, the Village and Pillage Update has been going on for 5 years at this point. I will only call 1.21 Village and Pillage Part 8 from now on.

Honestly, I just want a loose ends update. Meercats, baobab, all the biomes we didn't vote for

minecraft needs a GODAMN OPTIMIZATION UPDATE

Not only are trial chambers underground. They are mostly made of new copper and tuff variants. Blocks added in the Caves and Cliffs update. Almost feels like we are on Caves and Cliffs Part 5 ngl.

It's really frustrating that they're letting the mobile version hold everyone else back when it comes to the bundles. They were one of my most anticipated features of the initial 1.17 announcement and now there's a good chance they'll be scrapped altogether. And you're also correct when assuming that the many delayed cave update features taking up so much development time was frustrating. They've essentially been working on 1 update for 3 years and that'd held them back from revamping other parts of the game that desperately need it.

I'm really glad that in 1.21, they basically didn't tell anyone what it was about and are revealing it slowly, it creates a lot more hype to the update

You know it'd be infinitely funny if they dropped The End and Combat update at the same time and called it The Combat Update Part 2. Like genuïnly I think they should do this

4:11 I feel so heard, subscribed

Even on its own, 1.18 was still one of my favorite updates. Exploring an entirely revamped overworld was pure magic, and felt like this new era of Minecraft finally coming to its climax! Mojang had a Renaissance in the late 2010’s, here’s hoping they can do it again some time in the far future.

I love youtubers like you who put way too much effort into videos, PLEASE set up a way to super chat.

LETS GO HE’S NOT DEAD

Maybe the real caves and cliffs update was the friends we made along the way edit: LMAO I DONT CARE IF YOU DONT HAVE FRIENDS

great video! i love this style of combining some regular footage with the animated parts

The animation of pulling out the sherd at 1:50 is slick as hell. Love these videos so much the amount of effort that goes into writing, animating, and editing these is clear and very much appreciated :^)

To put this into perspective, it took Notch 2.5 years to code Minecraft from scratch and release it to the world. And a good chunk of that development time was spent by himself.

I love your avatar person? Slime? The way they move is so emotive!

Well if you're wondering about the bundle the reason why we still done have it is because they have been Struggling to add bundles into pocket edition

This was a great video. Personally, I quite like that for 1.20 and 1.21 Mojang has returned to under-promising and over-delivering. It's worth considering that two of the most important and technically demanding features for Caves and Cliffs weren't announced at the live show: the increased world height and depth, and the complete overhaul of world generation. I don't know if world generation was always part of their plans, since when the new mountains were first added in Bedrock edition they were just pasted on top of the existing landscape. As for the world height, it was always theorized just by the size of the new caves, but when it finally came it was still a fantastic surprise. I remember loading up the snapshot to ogle at the new caves and then suddenly realizing what my Y coordinate was. Unfortunately, their development took so long that their awe started wearing off before the update even released. There were a few other unannounced features, like raw ore, candles, and tinted glass, but they were so few and small compared to everything else, that they weren't as exciting. As for what was announced, half of it had no good reason to be. Drip leaf, the redstone aspect of sculk, the spyglass, even the axolotl could all benefit as snapshot surprises. In retrospect, it seems naive to have believed that everything could come in one update.

Massively underrated, dude. Great work on the animations and editing, you deserve to blow up!

I really love the presentation of this video and how animated your avatar is. You must have sunk a lot of time and passion into this video and it really comes through

Your videos are extremely high quality and clearly have a massive amount of effort put into them. Would not be surprised to see you blow up within a year.

The quality in these videos is crazy for such a small and relatively new channel

The bundle really is solving a problem no one really thought of, yeah its a problem but its not really the main thing wrong about the inventory. With the recent changes to the trail chambers having items that clutter less it feels like Mojang is trying really hard to avoid tackling the main issue. No one views minecraft's inventory as something that is sacred, Mojang is the only group here hesitant. Which is unfortunate, exploring would be better if, yknow, we could go to places without the need of setting up a whole new base... And honestly if touch UI is the problem here, maybe pocket edition should be separated to not hold back everyone else.

I’m just gonna be honest, I’d rather wait a long time and get a fully fleshed out update (To the point of what was promised with even maybe more) than have them rush to make within the deadlines. It’s kinda like a No Man’s Sky situation, y’know?

how does this man only have 15k subscribers

very well edited! great video! this got my sub. i didn't even know until I looked at your channel that you made the crafting update video I have to fully watch that soon.

Amazing video quality, keep it up man!

I've just watched all your videos and I got some praise to give. Love your style, your animation, your script writing, and humor. High quality stuff, I expected you to have triple the subscribers. Great job!

Honestly one of the best video I’ve seen on here in years. Informative, fun, and just enjoyable to watch. Perfect pace and everything was great. You got a new fan out of me

I was recommended this video and went and binged all of your other ones. You are doing a great job and I can’t wait to see your next one.

I really love your video editing style! It's funny, clear in directive, and the animations are pleasing to look at and diverse :) I hope you grow and get massive, you deserve it!

loved the editing of this video so much!!! your little animated minecraft character is so lively and silly :>

I know this video took lots of effort and time. Thank you for doing this!

This is the first video I've watched by you, and I have to say I‘m absolutely blown away by your editing style and the way you animate your character! There are so many subtle things about the animation that make the character really come to life! I’m just in awe!

oh my god i am obsessed with your editing style. this video is so nice to watch!!

I imagine there wouldve been some unannounced features in 1.17 originally, but they had to be scrapped/delayed in order to make time for the stuff they had already promised.

Thank you for creating a video that perfectly encapsulates my views and thoughts on this situation. 🙏

so glad I'm here, I love this mans videos

The quality of this video is insane. Great job

And I'm here playing Beta 1.5. So much more chill :)

This animation style is great, I cannot wait to see the future videos you have ahead of you man

This is a great summary of the last couple updates, good work!

1.16 was 4 years ago??? shit bruh im actually older now 😭

the deep dark scenes you made with the blue lighting is amazing. you need something like that more, pure white all the time is kinda boring and makes my eyes burn but the blue lantern and the shadows made it look awesome. now ray trace it.

great video aside, wow. love the little player animations! they are sure smooth and fun to watch :)

Dang you made me get hooked into this video. Love the work!

This video was actually amazing and high quality, I immediately subbed lol, you honestly deserve a million subs. Keep up the great work!

1.21 is turning out to be my new favorite update because of all the new unannounced features

omg the editing is so good in this

Not just bundles, but also that abandon storage structure that was shown during the first warden reveal. And then we got the fletcher table that they promised to give a feature in 1.15, but they just forgot about it.

babe wake up new notveryAndy video just dropped

Woah, this animation looks so good, and rather than changing the style of the source, you just add to it. You earned a sub, I hope I can see more of this in the future!

The animation and editing is on point for this video. keep it up!

NEW NOTVERYANDY VIDEO LETS GOOOO

Cant wait for the 2028 mob vote with caves and cliffs part 7, and a choice between the chimpanzee, a retextured mooshroom or a worm (three pixels and even if it wins it’s gonna be removed for being poisonous to parrots even though they were removed in 1.22 for being poisonous to breezes)

Dude this video is INSANELY well made! Huge props :) Easy sub

Why is this the best-looking Minecraft commentary video I’ve ever seen. Immediately subbed and I hope to eat this animation style

To help with the render issue: Separate your videos into different scenes and put them together in like clipchamp. Thats it.

There was a bat in a cave that really didn’t want it’s home to change, so it started a pandemic to prevent it

This was a very awesome video! You’re doing a great job!

I really enjoyed the video and the editing was amazing! Subscribed!

13:49 Oh hey that's me

next we’re gonna have skies and clouds lolz

Back with yet another amazing vid!

this is a gorgeous video and i love the shit out of every aspect. the writing is great!! your comedic timing is right on point and your rhetoric is quick, brief, and just as concise as it needs to be. AND THE ANIMATION!!! as someone who works with minecraft animators I have SUCH an appreciation for the style of your animated scenes and they are AWESOME!! incredible work big guy, if I could subscribe multiple times, I would. Oh wait!! I can!!! Keep it up, can't wait for the next essay :) p.s. I saw that CGPGrey reference ;)

What’s also worth looking at is what we’ve gotten outside of Caves&Cliffs, which is something you mentioned at the end. We got: 3 wood types with 2 new trees, mangrove swamps, froglights, various mud blocks, 4 passive mobs, armour trims and hanging signs. It’s certainly not nothing, I do apreciate that we got three wood types which all look very nice, but aside from that, for being the actually new content to two major updates, it isn’t that much. If they had actually made Caves&Cliffs two updates, what _would_ 1.19 and 1.20 be? It’s that surprise factor you talked about. We knew about the warden, sculk and pottery over a year in advance to those updates, so even if ancient cities were way bigger than expected, they didn’t _feel_ as new, so the “actually” new (obv the deep dark was still new, but I think you get what I mean) content was a lot smaller. Add to that the whole mob vote dumpster fire and I think it’s why people feel as though the last two updates have been somewhat inconsequential.

Yo, new video. Lets go

Love the little animations. Great work 👍

I have high hopes to see more of your content soon, your channel's so underrated as Xayxay my man.

I was here before this blew up. Great video man

Ok I just gotta say this Bundles are not complicated to add into the game for gav guy's and PC & console players (because talk have Right click) But instead they haven't added it into the game because of the Pocket edition players mostly the pe players that refuse to learn how to use the new controls and because of that small portion of the Minecraft community they refused to add one of the most important items that might possibly change Minecraft

Damn, really nice editing. Great work!

Really high quality video great job I love it :)

yippie :3

I wouldn't mind the lack of updates, im fine with the game being the way it is as ive played it the same for years. But wjat boils and atomizes my blood is when they go out of there way to amp up cool features, like the birch forest, bundles, and arguably the worst was the fire flies, (which could have been a nice ambience.) just to immediately dump them asid they were never planned, and say "woops our bad, we actually dont want to add this" this game could have evolved into something way more vibrant and relaxing to play, with ambient sounds and mobs, (which of corse, could easily be turned off in the settings) but everything has to be perfect and practical. Every mob, item, block needs to have at least one use.

Amazing video! Very well made, information, and funny

Honestly i just wanna point out how well the video is made like man i love that you narrate yourself like that and despite being simple the animations look great just wanted to say that

better than planet dr pepper lore

We must protest for bundkes, along with better wandering traders in 1.20.5 and better armadillo animations

Love the minimalist style in your editing. Keep it up.

bro i fw your content. The choppy animation, the sense of humor, the attention to detail, explaining things in a clear yet fun way, man… you’re an underground legend! Well played my guy 🙌

you worked harder on this video than they did on 1.17

Mojang teamed up with SPARK UNIVERSE for them to make a free marketplace map showcasing all the new features of the updates via quests from villagers to help repair the village. Well two quests, the pouch and skulk sensor was like 95% coded but had to be scraped last min as Mojang removed them from 1.17. It was only found out after I was digging through the games files for speedrunning. I was able to piece together two full cut missions into a working state of what it would have been if 1.17 was the full update

I love your animation. Also love the reflection at 1:23 Edit: 20:20 WHAAAT. DUUUDE. S-Tier, subscribed

I will say, your animation and editing is great!

The trick before was promise a little, deliver more Now it's overpromising and underdelivering It doesn't matter how big or small the update is, if you deliver less than you promise, it will be seen as a failure

1.13 is the best version available. it is much more challenging than recent updates and is a lot more fun.

I just found your channel, dude, amazing job that you put into these! it's understandable that you just have a few videos, there's so much work! I will watch the others asap. Besides that, yeah, the updates have been weird, but i feel like they are getting back on track with the 1.21, i still think that there are much more things that could be added tho, I am praying for a third mob and structure in the end to complete the trio of blaze (nether), breeze (overworld) and [Redacted](end) for example.

Another great video from this underrated big man! 🎉

There are some important things of note to be said, Nether Update had major crunch in it to be as big as it was. The World Generation changes were a bit later of a feature, only being done after the Mountain vote with less time to do it to start with. Ancient Cities were not initially planned and were only added afterwords. And that's why 1.19 was more like that, Warden was a brand new sort of AI and all the sculk blocks were really complex. Among all the other iterations we know those features went through. They have also said showing Archeology when they did was a mistake and its likely for the best they don't do that sort of thing anymore. Of course because of the community's inability to handle concept art they don't show it anymore which is a shame. Like during the mob vote many people seriously believed the mobs in it were fully developed, iterated on, designed and modeled and also fully coded into the game with everything fully planned out, and Mojang just deletes two of them for no reason. No matter how blatently stupid that is. 1.20 and 1.21 have and had many things outside of their initial reveals too, something many people like to ignore for 1.20 no matter how much it actually did. Or regardless of how many people use what was added,

The problem with minecraft's current development isn't the quantity of the content, it's the quality of the content. Nearly every single thing they've added in the last several years has been implemented in the single blandest, most useless, bare-bones, underwhelming, in most cases with actual broken promises and arguable false or at least misleading advertising way possible, to a degree that almost seems deliberate at this point. Mojang/microsoft is so deathly afraid of doing anything to actually affect much less alter or add to the gameplay systems in any significant way (or god forbid, add any genuinely new ones) that every time they add something that's actually useful for anything truly somewhat new they panic and nerf it until it's functionally just another bloated aesthetic change, and every single thing they add ends up having one or two purely decorative uses and nothing else and is never added to ever again even when it would make more sense to use said preexisting items instead of making another amethyst geode that the only purpose of is to make spyglasses that no one even uses for anything or another mob to drop an item that could have very easily been substituted by glowstone dust and made more sense that way or another sniffer (sad to say that even in retrospect I still think the sniffer is the objectively best choice out of that lineup. Like what do people think the rascal would realistically do? Because I'll tell you what. It would show up for one event in one specific location and you would never interact with or see it outside of that, and it would be just another thing that would give you an iron pickaxe with curse of vanishing and efficiency I. At least the sniffer looks interesting.) to give you two plants that don't even match with anything and I guarantee nothing will ever be added or tied back into any of those things ever again. Yet at the same time, when people actually want things purely for small aesthetic touches and changes they refuse to add them! So additions that should be actually functional useful systems end up being bloaty nerfed functionally decorative filler and things that should be nice little ambience touches end up not getting in the game at all for ridiculously contrived brand image focused reasons! They're so deathly afraid of doing anything to affect or add to gameplay systems that ironically they're directly causing the bloat corporate wants them to avoid. The fear of genuine additions combined with the incessant likely marketing department driven need for every single thing to be entirely new new new and shiny and to only be tied into other new things because we can't have things just worked back into preexisting crafting chains for some reason no we have to have more useless crafting materials that take up space and only do one thing that's just for decoration anyway is what's killing all of these updates. They aren't lazy, mojang/microsoft's update direction and game design is just straight up _bad_, plain and simple. They treat minecraft as a platform to push a brand, not as a game. Anything other than the image and marketing can't even be called an afterthought. The game itself to them is not even an afterthought. Just a way to push the all-important marketing. Which brings me to my second point, the fact that microjang keeps dumping nearly all of their development resources into these half-baked mediocre spinoff properties that have precisely nothing to do with minecraft beyond an increasingly kiddiefied robloxcube aesthetic slapped awkwardly on tells me very clearly that microjang legitimately has no understanding of why people like minecraft at all. They by all observable metrics genuinely, wholeheartedly believe that the main-possibly even only-thing that attracts people to minecraft, the game, is the fact that it has the cube aesthetic and franchise branding on it, and seem to be absolutely incapable of wrapping their heads around the fact that the reason people are actually drawn to core minecraft, the game, is because of the sandbox building mechanics itself, and has precisely fuckall to do with it having their stupid increasingly corporately sanded down cutiefied minecraft, the franchise, branding on it. (which you think would be easy to figure out given that the first thing literally almost everyone changes when dipping their toes into modding minecraft is the aesthetic their precious branding relies on, but nobody ever said companies were observant.) so they just keep wasting all their development resources churning out these bare-bones side games and then being all bewildered when slapping an awkwardly out of place (because removing the block aesthetic from the blockbuilding gameplay loop removed it from it's context and make it feel entirely unnecessary because it is) cube aesthetic on it fails to magically make them the same billions as if that was all people ever cared about in minecraft to begin with. Wow, how can all these really bland side games that have absolutely nothing to do with the premise of a cubic virtual sandbox have failed? We put minecrafttm franchise branding on it and everything! Minecraft, the game, and minecraft, the franchise/brand are two entirely separate things, and one has been slowly overtaking and replacing the other like a cancer for a long while now. That's not even getting into how desperately they've pushed to redo the entire game from being e for everyone to being basically for imaginary 3 year olds only (as if their imagined target audience aren't often the ones desperately modding in realistic gun packs) for years now. Basically all of the marketing and everything has steadily been aimed at younger and younger audiences exclusively and everything in the game keeps getting steadily retroactively changed to be more cutesy and silly and kiddie and bright and cocomelon-y (the steady loss of minecraft's unique early quiet slow steady unsettlingly calm and subtly melancholic surreal mundanely dreamlike liminal atmosphere with the deliberate bright marketbleifying cutesiefying of the game is a topic for another day) to the point that I'm sure they would have found a way to remove combat by now if it wasn't already in the game for years at this point and the diamond sword wasn't a marketable piece of iconography. I give it maybe 4 years before people are getting banned for saying hell in their own singleplayer worlds and I guarantee we wouldn't even have skeletons or zombies and we definitely wouldn't have spiders or creepers (or if we did have zombies they would be cartoony one-off gimmicks in a pointless bloatloot dungeon somewhere with an aesthetic that's desperately trying to be overwhelmingly saccharine to not scare the imaginary toddlers made of glass that marketing apparently thinks find a green version of steve too terrifying). In the time I've been here I've watched minecraft go from being for lack of a better term e for everyone (minecraft as it was originally conceived was clearly not intended as a children's game, but with the current climate all media gets pidgeonholed into either being xxx big bonkers swearing adults only or for literal actual unborn fetuses only and there is increasingly no room whatsoever for any sort of middleground, nor apparently any comprehension of the possibility of such a thing, and the very idea is increasingly being seen as somehow wrong inherently because something something fragile children(aka anyone under 20 usually) innocence something something what do you mean the 13 year olds are the ones that keep installing all the blood mods) to be aimed roughly at 12 year olds to being aimed exclusively at only the most sheltered under 7s to such a degree that it's actively starting to seemingly try to push everyone else out. I can't pinpoint a single glaring issue that's ruining the game, or that makes gameplay bad (although the worst issue is probably the general progression that has seen little to no changes over the years), and that makes people think I'm just "nostalgic" or "reminiscing about the old Minecraft days of 2013". The game hasn't really changed, but the company behind it sure did, and the branding they push everywhere is slowly suffocating the essence of the game I love. When they changed the launcher icon to a creeper face I felt irrationally upset, and for the longest time I couldn't understand why - who cares anyway, I'll just change it manually - but now I get it: it's because the creeper is the iconic Minecraft mob. It's the face of the brand, a recognisable trademark condensed into a grayscale icon. They care more about the marketing than the game itself.

I love this format. Smart casual informative.

Love the style of your videos 😊

First Edit: the bundle exists MOJANG
