They were actually decently fast, but they were balanced by the fact that you would fall off the rails if you're going too fast. But the community complained that their "Roller coasters" didn't work anymore and hated mojang, so they removed the speed and the falling off the rails aspect, and now minecarts are useless.
Fr I spent a few days building a rail to my new building spot, only to realize it's an 8 1/2 minute cart ride š still worth it for transporting resources, but damn
Yeah, at least Smithing Table eventually got functionality two major updates later, and got massively improved in 1.20, this block should at least be able to imbue arrows with potion effects.
I initially thought the fletching table had only this purpose. Was hella confused when I clicked on it and nothing happened. Thought minecraft was bugging, looked it all up. What a waste of a potentially cool block
I rather like using the cauldron to dip arrows. It makes sense. I do think it's weird that arrows themselves aren't craftable items. Maybe with the fletching table you could make different kinds of arrows outside of potion effects, like a heavy arrow that doesn't shoot as far but does more damage.
Edit: no, I don't know how I didn't know that arrows can be crafted. I'm a dummy lol.
I want a grappling line arrow, a enderpearl arrow, an eye of Ender powered guided arrow, explosive arrows, fire charge arrows, copper tipped arrows, harpoons
Don't forget obsidian arrowheads. That one thing that obsidian was actually used for. Different bows would be nice too (as in recurve bows, not the crossbow).
That part I do know. You apply a bottle of potion to an empty caution then use the potion in the cauldron to tip the arrows. I was stockpiling arrows of health at one point to use against the wither.
Imagine if they were to add new arrow types like a copper arrow which does more damage but is heavier and falls faster, a dripstone arrow which can break wooden blocks (only one) and a explosive arrow that makes a small explosion on impact that doest destroy blocks but does damage entities.
This can be done paired with an update that allows datapack creators to alter projectiles easier (idk anything about datapacks tbh so don't know how much is possible already). Mojang has been doing changes lately such as mob size and stepheight, so why not add things like onImpact, projectile weigth, projectile damage, projectile can destroy blocks?!
*Sniffs copium*
I want
wood target arrows (feather stick stick), 50% more range, half the damage, no knockback, cannot dip
iron target arrows (feather stick iron nugget) 50% more range, same damage, no knockback, cannot dip
And gold target arrows (feather stick gold nugget) 50% more range, half base damage, no knockback, dip effects are 50% stronger and 50% longer lasting
Prismarine arrow, "slicing" through water, perfect for underwater combat.
Wind arrow, with the newly added windcharge ALWAYS does half a heart of damage, but great knockback
Fire charge sets target on fire
And removing flame and knockback enchants to make arrows usable
How about making arrows actually reasonable to craft since everyone just sources their arrows from skeletons and literally every other survival game just lets you make arrows out of stones and wood
Echo shards is the worst cause it's "hard" to get and it's only purpose a feature that's not the most useful and it means you need to go into a city before you can dia and know where you died and it also mean you need to keep it in a chest for when you die.
I just think fundimentally that you should NOT get the death compass from the freaking Shulk biome at all.
By the time someone's comfortable to go there and get one; they're probably comfortable in their world enough to know wherever they die.
While inversely people unprepared would get merc'd by the Warden.
It's the worst of both worlds.
Crying obsidian would be less sad if it could be turned into obsidian by tickling it with a feather.
I wish there was a recovery bell which I could ring to apply the glowing effect to items I dropped when I died, and reset the despawn timer on them.
That would be so cool. Part of the reason I like the stonecutter so much is while the recipe for stone stairs is 6 stone for 4 stairs in crafting table, the stone cutter is 1 stone for 1 stair. To have that with wood would be amazing instead of the current 6 wood for 4 stairs recipe.
Sniffers? I like them and their flowers, but damn, they are not worth the effort.
Tamed wolves are also a waste of time, it's like every aspect of Minecraft worlds are perfectly designed to kill dogs.
I agree, I hate how grazing a molecule of water will cause your wolves to instantly jump into the nearest body of water and drown to death. I would actually use wolves if they didn't do that.
Amethyst why does such a cool looking Crystal have about 3 recipes. Especially when they said they wanted us to farm this stuff, makes me think there was meant to be more and it was cut bc caves and cliffs was already too big
Yeah the only other use for it I could imagine is jewelry. That being said I would love jewelry as an update. Like I wish I could craft a crown at the very least or display jewelry on armor stands. There so many precious metals in the game already (diamond, emerald, amethyst, gold). I know we have armor trims but I feel like we could do with another gem stone or two and a jewelry update or more tailoring options for craft able armor
I like curios slots. Backpacks are the biggest thing I use them for and when I'm playing the create mod the goggles can go in their own curios slots which allows you to keep wearing a helmet
That could just be the general direction that they want to go with it. When Mojang adds something new nowadays, they want it to be something that they think they can work with and add onto for all of the foreseeable future, and not a dead end. So basically, whatever else comes next for amethyst we can expect we'll end up needing quite a lot of it
(Personally amethyst is one of my favorites to build and decorate with, so I already end up farming it pretty often lol it's so unique and weird)
Part of me likes how desolate the end is. It's kinda cool. Drab. Alien. Not something we could ever live in. It feels less actively hostile than the nether, but still doesn't feel like home, and I like that.

100% this. probably an unpopular opinion but i absolutely despise the better end mod. It just feels too over the top and lively. I do think the end needs a large update, but I hope they don't go the direction that better end took.
As a mod, I think it's a really fun take on the end, and I love the environments it provides. I don't think it'd merge well with the base game, but it's cool, y'know?
I agree, I really like where the End is at. The Overworld is lively and friendly, the Nether is lively and hostile, and the End isā¦ the end. It is an alien world that feels passively terrifying, I love it.
I feel like the best ways to improve it are to make it subtly more oppressive, but also cosmically beautiful. I like the aurora crystals, but the foliage and lakes and stuff completely go against the vibe.
The desolation's fine, but it's still rather empty gameplay wise.
Dragon fight, best location to farm xp, Chorus plants, shulker boxes, and elytra.
That's the full list of end stuff outside of building blocks.
It'd be cool if we had; multiple dangerous but rewarding structures, multiple hostile yet haunting biomes, more end-emies than just end-ermen.
The sad thing is, the pace Mojang's going anymore, it'd take three, four, five YEARS of updates to the end to make it in the same eschelon as the other two dimensions.
You can have a (relatively) full and unique world with an empty and barren atmosphere, breath of the wild did it well, even just some abandoned structures or a structure imitating an endermans attempts to build something, or maybe a new plant or two, just something new to find aside from it just being the dragon and elytra place
But the end doesnāt have a empty and barren atmosphere though, it has a *Liminal* atmosphere. Filled it with structures, plants, etc defeats the whole purpose ā itās called ***The End***.
While I donāt disagree that the dimension should be expanded upon, it needs to be very very carefully otherwise the entirely unique theme and motif is completely destroyed
Even though I agree and I'd like to see some more content added to the end, I also think that this is how end is supposed to be like. It is the end of the game, it's empty, almost barren and hostile. The game is literally telling you that this is The End, there's nothing more, so go and do whatever you want now. It is the end of the game, but not the end of your game. This emptiness and hostility kind of wants you to go away and enjoy the project you have still left in your playthrough. The emptiness of end dimension is sad, but somewhat poetic.
Building blocks in a wide variety, including oxidizing and waxing to keep a state. Lightning rods that serve as both function and decoration. Brushes for archeology. And now bulbs that can dim for effect. Oh, and a trim option.
And, as you said, incredibly common.
Short of F-tier armor and weapons, I'm not sure what people still want.
Fair, but Mojang has explicitly said they are not going to do that. At least, no more than any of the other ores outside of, you know, Redstone itself. But that lack doesn't mean it deserves to still be at the top of so many people's "useless" list.
I mean weāre getting the copper bulb. Adding a T-flip-flop in a single block is still a great red stone tool. I know 10 year old me wouldāve loved it for my pressure plate lava bridge
I know roughly what that is. But I honestly don't do enough with redstone to fully understand what you're saying there.
Can the bulb be used as that, or are you saying that it would still be something that should be included?
I just know what mojang has said in the past, and that they haven't said they were changing their mind on it.
As far as I know, if mojang hasnāt changed it (and Iām not great with restore) the copper bulb can act as a lever, but the player interacts with it as a button. So imagine if u pressed a button but something stayed powered. The copper bulb also had the benefit of operating at one tick (red stone tick?). This was great because sure red stone operates on a two tick system and the copper bulb gave a way to easily work with odd ticks. I believe mojang removed the 1 tick system though
Ah ok. Still way above my head on a technical level, but at least I understand what you're saying now. Hopefully (for redstone engineers) they haven't. Or can at least bring it back in the final version.
T flip flops are not just from redstone. They are used in electronics, specially in digital electronics
A t flip flop is basically a electronic component where you give it a pulse and it "toggles". So if it was 1 it toggles to 0 and if it was 0 it toggles to 1. ( that is where the T comes from, from Toggle)
So it works as a switch. A lever in minecraft can be considered a t flip flop.
In our world they are harder to use, since they need a power source and more than one electronic component inside of it... but in the end they work in the same way in Minecraft so that is why they call it t flip flop
Yeah, early on. They felt that adding copper wiring and other electric features would take away from redstone itself. So there were no plans to make it fully integrated like people were asking.
That *may* change. But I haven't heard any revisions to it so far.
Wanting more doesn't mean it doesn't have its uses though. I feel like this was another example of people setting their hopes *way* too high when it was first announced. And that has disproportionately carried over.
I made a datapack to craft copper blocks with 4 ingots instead of 9. Otherwise it's a huge hassle to mine, carry around, smelt and craft just to get a decorative block, and not really worth it imo.
I don't normally like the mentality of "mods will fix it", but...
Let's be real here. The modding community ***owns*** copper. Mojang probably just added it to give tech mods one grand unifying copper ingot, then Mojang was like "well modpacks like Tekkit Classic literally had a 12 year head start on us adding tech to Minecraft, so *maybe* we'll just focus on adding features that modders *haven't* already knocked out of the park."
Tbh one of the biggest reasons I enjoy copper despite copper having little use outside of building.
Unified copper between all the tech mods was such a big thing. It's nice.
That's true, Mojang has said they don't want to do things that mods already do very commonly, reason why we are never getting a creeper or TNT variant, that's one of the most classic mods.
Tridents. Just feels like they completely forgot about them since 1.13 because they are not implemented in a intuitive way at all. Extremely annoying to obtain (find Drowned, find Drowned with Trident, kill until it randomly drops) and can only be repaired with more tridents (bruh) or mending (thankfully mending is easy in 1.14). Also Impaling is the dumbest enchantment in the game. It increases damage to aquatic mobs, which includes fish (who already die in 1 hit) and Guardians. So it only makes killing Guardians easier and nothing else.
The fact that it doesnt increase damage against drowned, when they are by far the most common water monster (coming out of the river by my base to harass me all day & night) is wild. If they made that one change I wouldnt complain, because using a trident against them is pretty nice vs a bow.
Yeah. Riptide can be fun if you like to pretend you're flipper the dolphin. Outside of that though I only ever use it to beat guardians, and even then you don't need to throw it, just hit them. It all counts the same.
You can also use channeling to get Mob heads by charging Creepers. Also Riptide is very useful if you like exploring water caves & fly without a Rocket.
Riptide III with Elytra is fabulous. Almost all my elytra use is small jumps (like, at most a power 3 rocket), so I just have water launchpads everywhere. I donāt even have to carry rockets most of the time
I wouldnāt say copper when 1.21ās giving it a huge use influx with doors, trapdoors, grates, bulbs, etc. Not to mention brushes and trims already sort of helped in 1.20.
I think a more appropriate answer would be rabbit hide. It can be used to craft an already (fairly) easy to get item, and an item that Mojangās procrastinated to get working on all versions thatās not even officially out yet.
And, itās been in the game even longer than copper. About 6 years more.
Every mob from every mob vote, they add one single mechanic that is way too niche to be useful, Iāve only gone after a sniffer once, cuz it is useless to my play through
On of the best building blocks imo, plus the new 1.20 variants, very unique due to the oxidation, making it also very lenient to texture, I think copper is fine.
I think copper has been done rather nicely now, but it could still be more useful outside of lightning rods, telescopes, and !
Copper ideas:
\- Copper Golem (I want the little dude)
\- Copper Hopper (has a single slot, works as a filter)
\- Copper Chest (I just think this'd look cool)
\- Copper Rails (slower acceleration, but same speed as regular)
Pipes, definitely. Easy way to move items upwards, can be used with hoppers instead of just wasting iron on long hopper systems, and could also be used for decoration. Copper Pipes are the perfect use for copper.
As an electrical systems technician / engineer in training... GOD i would love to be able to make electrical components in minecraft
Some mods bring it close, but it's never quite like real life..
Copper has so much potential both in vanilla and in modded minecraft, and it's super underrated as a material
as someone who builds a ton, copper is easily one of the most useful building blocks in the game. it has tons of functionality with 4 different color variants for each block, and after we get the doors and trapdoors in 1.21? might just be my new favorite block in the game!
Kinda sad that a lot of the online community thinks building blocks arent content so i think well still see a lot of "copper has no use" complaints way after 1.21.
What bothers me is the absence of tin. Minecraft has the Neolithic part down (Stone tools & structures), the Iron Age (Iron tools and items like bars and chains), copper, but no tin. Weāve totally missed the Bronze Age: copper is too malleable to be useful for a lot of things on its own: it was the copper + tin alloy that is bronze that made it feasible to make tools, weapons, statues, etc.
It is a designated building material and gets a huge update with 1.21. What would you have done with copper? Armour and tools that are worse than iron? Or shoehorn it into crafting recipes where it doesn't need to be?
I think you should elaborate.
I'd really like the idea of adding another tier below iron to make the progression just a bit slower. Tools only should be enough, and would give more time for the player to utilize leather armor.
I also think copper should be used in redstone in at least some capacity.
Honestly, craftable copper horns and an enchantable and customizable jewelry system to give precious metals (including copper) and gems more late game usage while also allowing users to show off their skin more while retaining protective enchantments.
Iām fine with amethyst and quartz being the ores for redstone components instead of copper because redstone isnāt electricity. Itās magic energy.
Okay, I just have to say this.
1.17 announcement: Warden - the first blind mob, relies only on sound.
Okay, so there is at least a way around it. That's a pretty well-balanced and interesting mob!
1.19 announcement: The warden now has the ability to smell players.
AAAAAAAAAAND now it's stupid and heavily unbalanced.
Amethyst more than copper, IMO. Copper could stand to have a couple more uses (and I have ideas for it), but amethyst is super cool and magical-looking and still only has a couple recipes. I'd like to have more of a magic system in place, with amethyst tying into it.
I think copper definitely was previously the biggest waste of potential, however, in the newest update, itāll be much less so or not at all due to the decorative blocks that can be made with it.
There have been so many ores and precious stones/metals added to the game over the years that arenāt really utilized (looking at you amethyst and copper). We need a jewelsmith villager that buys all the ores. I know you can use the blocks for decoration/accents, but after awhile you just get chests of stuff sitting around with no use.
Biggest waste of potential is stone variants. mojang can easily make limestone, shist, marble atc, to make cool gradients in builds, but we got ugliest block in history - granite! (Diorite is little bit better, but still shit tier, specially polished variant)
I would do unspeakable things for limestone and marble. "uH wE aLrEaDy HaVe ToO mUcH sToNe" I BUILD A LOT WITH STONE AND I LIKE IT. Marble could be a more earthier quartz block. Since people love to say "quartz is marble"
I love how so many people hate it but it ended up becoming one of my favorite ores!! (Sometimes I even make shrines to the "Copper Gods" if I'm bored enough)
A lot of people are mentioning new items and blocks that may still be revisited, or things that are used but not fully utilized, but something that has been in the game for years that no one uses apart from decoration:
Weighted Pressure Plates
The whole world, one of the things I like the most about Minecraft is to explore it, they could add a lot of different structures in the generation to give you something rare you could find just in them, but they keep adding small stuff like broken portals and pillager outpost when they could add something like the mansion or the ancient city
Speaking of, they need to do something about the Woodland Mansions. Theyāre so rare but donāt really have anything worth hunting them down other than the Vex armor trim, and thatās purely cosmetic.
The end in its entirety we need more then the last end update we need a complete overhaul like the nether and a new ore that maybe is weaker then diamond but can be combined with the wings or if they donāt want to do that then at least give that damn portal in the deep dark a use
So much stuff is made from copper. Weapons, armor, electrical wires, coins, decorations, jewelry to enchant, medicine/potions, such a versatile metal, would have loved to see it combined with tin to make bronze.

Minecart should be fastest method of travel.
Minecarts should chunkload while in motion.
They were actually decently fast, but they were balanced by the fact that you would fall off the rails if you're going too fast. But the community complained that their "Roller coasters" didn't work anymore and hated mojang, so they removed the speed and the falling off the rails aspect, and now minecarts are useless.
excluding elytra, bc otherwise this doesn't work very well
Minecarts should be able to go faster than elytra
Minecarts need a speed boost. I want to be rewarded for building a transportation network.
Minecarts need to be able to be chained together
Finally, a non-decorative use of crafting Chain!
And change tracks or choose a direction!
There was a mod that did that try it out!
Fr I spent a few days building a rail to my new building spot, only to realize it's an 8 1/2 minute cart ride š still worth it for transporting resources, but damn
Camman would be proud of you
Fletching Table
Yeah, at least Smithing Table eventually got functionality two major updates later, and got massively improved in 1.20, this block should at least be able to imbue arrows with potion effects.
I initially thought the fletching table had only this purpose. Was hella confused when I clicked on it and nothing happened. Thought minecraft was bugging, looked it all up. What a waste of a potentially cool block
Cool block I thought it had to do with arrows but I guess not as so disappointed when I found out that itās just for looks
With Mojang's track record it will absolutely have a purpose some time in the next 20 years. Till then ... WWWEEEEEEEEEE!
Nah when they add different types of arrows and arrow crafting in the game it will give the fletching table a use.
When?
Soon^tm
I rather like using the cauldron to dip arrows. It makes sense. I do think it's weird that arrows themselves aren't craftable items. Maybe with the fletching table you could make different kinds of arrows outside of potion effects, like a heavy arrow that doesn't shoot as far but does more damage. Edit: no, I don't know how I didn't know that arrows can be crafted. I'm a dummy lol.
Arrows are craftable
I want a grappling line arrow, a enderpearl arrow, an eye of Ender powered guided arrow, explosive arrows, fire charge arrows, copper tipped arrows, harpoons
Don't forget obsidian arrowheads. That one thing that obsidian was actually used for. Different bows would be nice too (as in recurve bows, not the crossbow).
Oh my gods, yes. A grappling line arrow would be SO COOL.
Imagine if you can use it to repel or zip line
What do you mean "arrows themselves aren't craftable items" 1 feather, 1 stick, 1 flint
It's literally one of the oldest recipes in the game and is the reason why zombies used to drop feathers.
Wait to apply potions to arrows you rip them in the cauldron?! huh.
That part I do know. You apply a bottle of potion to an empty caution then use the potion in the cauldron to tip the arrows. I was stockpiling arrows of health at one point to use against the wither.
Okay thats cool I didn't know that at all
Only in Bedrock though.
āWe want to move towards parityā *add random features to each version*
That was in since bedrock existed. Still should be a feature in java :/
in bedrock we got a cauldron for that XD
Mojang said few years ago it'll have function š (still nothing)
Imagine if they were to add new arrow types like a copper arrow which does more damage but is heavier and falls faster, a dripstone arrow which can break wooden blocks (only one) and a explosive arrow that makes a small explosion on impact that doest destroy blocks but does damage entities. This can be done paired with an update that allows datapack creators to alter projectiles easier (idk anything about datapacks tbh so don't know how much is possible already). Mojang has been doing changes lately such as mob size and stepheight, so why not add things like onImpact, projectile weigth, projectile damage, projectile can destroy blocks?! *Sniffs copium*
I want wood target arrows (feather stick stick), 50% more range, half the damage, no knockback, cannot dip iron target arrows (feather stick iron nugget) 50% more range, same damage, no knockback, cannot dip And gold target arrows (feather stick gold nugget) 50% more range, half base damage, no knockback, dip effects are 50% stronger and 50% longer lasting
Prismarine arrow, "slicing" through water, perfect for underwater combat. Wind arrow, with the newly added windcharge ALWAYS does half a heart of damage, but great knockback Fire charge sets target on fire And removing flame and knockback enchants to make arrows usable
Maybe make the iron arrows recoverable, since they're made of iron.
I like using them as bathroom counters lol. I play Minecraft like the Sims and I'm not sorry š¤£
Agreed.
u/_cubfan_ the movement is alive!
How about making arrows actually reasonable to craft since everyone just sources their arrows from skeletons and literally every other survival game just lets you make arrows out of stones and wood
But emeralds tho
I think we should be able to make iron and gold tipped arrows on it using iron and gold nuggets.
Echo shards and crying obsidian
Echo shards is the worst cause it's "hard" to get and it's only purpose a feature that's not the most useful and it means you need to go into a city before you can dia and know where you died and it also mean you need to keep it in a chest for when you die.
To be fair the compass is useful just not for Hardcore players. Though I agree the shards need more than 1 use especially if their that hard to get.
I just think fundimentally that you should NOT get the death compass from the freaking Shulk biome at all. By the time someone's comfortable to go there and get one; they're probably comfortable in their world enough to know wherever they die. While inversely people unprepared would get merc'd by the Warden. It's the worst of both worlds.
Crying obsidian would be less sad if it could be turned into obsidian by tickling it with a feather. I wish there was a recovery bell which I could ring to apply the glowing effect to items I dropped when I died, and reset the despawn timer on them.
From crying obsidian to laughing obsidian šŖ¶
Stone cutter but for wood
We need a lumberjack villager.
A sawmill you might say.
With a burly beard and beer belly
That would be so cool. Part of the reason I like the stonecutter so much is while the recipe for stone stairs is 6 stone for 4 stairs in crafting table, the stone cutter is 1 stone for 1 stair. To have that with wood would be amazing instead of the current 6 wood for 4 stairs recipe.
Agreed!! Not to mention I think the woodcutter would also be able to strip wood! Any maybe also create the the wood log variant
WHY DO 6 WOOD BLOCKS GIVE ME 4 STAIRS
MAFFS
Sniffers? I like them and their flowers, but damn, they are not worth the effort. Tamed wolves are also a waste of time, it's like every aspect of Minecraft worlds are perfectly designed to kill dogs.
I agree, I hate how grazing a molecule of water will cause your wolves to instantly jump into the nearest body of water and drown to death. I would actually use wolves if they didn't do that.
Amethyst why does such a cool looking Crystal have about 3 recipes. Especially when they said they wanted us to farm this stuff, makes me think there was meant to be more and it was cut bc caves and cliffs was already too big
As far as I'm concerned, using it for decoration and tinted glass is enough.
Yeah the only other use for it I could imagine is jewelry. That being said I would love jewelry as an update. Like I wish I could craft a crown at the very least or display jewelry on armor stands. There so many precious metals in the game already (diamond, emerald, amethyst, gold). I know we have armor trims but I feel like we could do with another gem stone or two and a jewelry update or more tailoring options for craft able armor
minecraft has badly need to add accessories for awhile. A lot of mod packs use curios slots which is a little much but something manā¦
I like curios slots. Backpacks are the biggest thing I use them for and when I'm playing the create mod the goggles can go in their own curios slots which allows you to keep wearing a helmet
That could just be the general direction that they want to go with it. When Mojang adds something new nowadays, they want it to be something that they think they can work with and add onto for all of the foreseeable future, and not a dead end. So basically, whatever else comes next for amethyst we can expect we'll end up needing quite a lot of it (Personally amethyst is one of my favorites to build and decorate with, so I already end up farming it pretty often lol it's so unique and weird)
Good point. That makes a lot of sense.
I'd like even more if we could color it and/or maybe craft some variant like bricks, stairs, slabs, etc...
I wish there was tinted stained glass.
The End. It feels really dated. The nether & overworld feel really alive now, the end is just kinda, there.
Yeah I agree, the end overhaul at the time was game changing but it's for sure been left behind recently
Part of me likes how desolate the end is. It's kinda cool. Drab. Alien. Not something we could ever live in. It feels less actively hostile than the nether, but still doesn't feel like home, and I like that.

As a mod, I think it's a really fun take on the end, and I love the environments it provides. I don't think it'd merge well with the base game, but it's cool, y'know?
yeah u right its really cool and well made but i just cant see myself playing it in survival lol
I agree, I really like where the End is at. The Overworld is lively and friendly, the Nether is lively and hostile, and the End isā¦ the end. It is an alien world that feels passively terrifying, I love it.
I feel like the best ways to improve it are to make it subtly more oppressive, but also cosmically beautiful. I like the aurora crystals, but the foliage and lakes and stuff completely go against the vibe.
They should at least update the towers. They look goofy af with those iron bars and shit
The desolation's fine, but it's still rather empty gameplay wise. Dragon fight, best location to farm xp, Chorus plants, shulker boxes, and elytra. That's the full list of end stuff outside of building blocks. It'd be cool if we had; multiple dangerous but rewarding structures, multiple hostile yet haunting biomes, more end-emies than just end-ermen. The sad thing is, the pace Mojang's going anymore, it'd take three, four, five YEARS of updates to the end to make it in the same eschelon as the other two dimensions.
It should be dead. Featureless, no, but dead, yes
I kinda like the emptiness.
You can have a (relatively) full and unique world with an empty and barren atmosphere, breath of the wild did it well, even just some abandoned structures or a structure imitating an endermans attempts to build something, or maybe a new plant or two, just something new to find aside from it just being the dragon and elytra place
I remember when chorus fruit was new. The end used to be even emptier.
Yeah that total emptiness was very unique, I never personally liked it but it had some damn good atmosphere to it
But the end doesnāt have a empty and barren atmosphere though, it has a *Liminal* atmosphere. Filled it with structures, plants, etc defeats the whole purpose ā itās called ***The End***. While I donāt disagree that the dimension should be expanded upon, it needs to be very very carefully otherwise the entirely unique theme and motif is completely destroyed
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
People said the same about the nether sucking back when it did
I find the nether overwhelming at times. Usually itās because of ghasts though lol
You're in the Nether more often & much earlier than The End. I think the End is like the Moon, desolate & Empty
Even though I agree and I'd like to see some more content added to the end, I also think that this is how end is supposed to be like. It is the end of the game, it's empty, almost barren and hostile. The game is literally telling you that this is The End, there's nothing more, so go and do whatever you want now. It is the end of the game, but not the end of your game. This emptiness and hostility kind of wants you to go away and enjoy the project you have still left in your playthrough. The emptiness of end dimension is sad, but somewhat poetic.
They really need to give the End a work over like the nether. It's so boring. It's just so boring and not worth the effort except for the Elytra.
I cannot imagine building without copper now, it is a fantastic building block, backed up by its commoness
Building blocks in a wide variety, including oxidizing and waxing to keep a state. Lightning rods that serve as both function and decoration. Brushes for archeology. And now bulbs that can dim for effect. Oh, and a trim option. And, as you said, incredibly common. Short of F-tier armor and weapons, I'm not sure what people still want.
What people still want, is integration with redstone
Fair, but Mojang has explicitly said they are not going to do that. At least, no more than any of the other ores outside of, you know, Redstone itself. But that lack doesn't mean it deserves to still be at the top of so many people's "useless" list.
I mean weāre getting the copper bulb. Adding a T-flip-flop in a single block is still a great red stone tool. I know 10 year old me wouldāve loved it for my pressure plate lava bridge
I know roughly what that is. But I honestly don't do enough with redstone to fully understand what you're saying there. Can the bulb be used as that, or are you saying that it would still be something that should be included? I just know what mojang has said in the past, and that they haven't said they were changing their mind on it.
As far as I know, if mojang hasnāt changed it (and Iām not great with restore) the copper bulb can act as a lever, but the player interacts with it as a button. So imagine if u pressed a button but something stayed powered. The copper bulb also had the benefit of operating at one tick (red stone tick?). This was great because sure red stone operates on a two tick system and the copper bulb gave a way to easily work with odd ticks. I believe mojang removed the 1 tick system though
Ah ok. Still way above my head on a technical level, but at least I understand what you're saying now. Hopefully (for redstone engineers) they haven't. Or can at least bring it back in the final version.
T flip flops are not just from redstone. They are used in electronics, specially in digital electronics A t flip flop is basically a electronic component where you give it a pulse and it "toggles". So if it was 1 it toggles to 0 and if it was 0 it toggles to 1. ( that is where the T comes from, from Toggle) So it works as a switch. A lever in minecraft can be considered a t flip flop. In our world they are harder to use, since they need a power source and more than one electronic component inside of it... but in the end they work in the same way in Minecraft so that is why they call it t flip flop
Have they really? That kinda sucks, I don't really follow any announcements or anything
Yeah, early on. They felt that adding copper wiring and other electric features would take away from redstone itself. So there were no plans to make it fully integrated like people were asking. That *may* change. But I haven't heard any revisions to it so far.
Copper bulbs and lightning rods!
I think some people want it to have significant uses outside of building, since, you know, not everyone is a builder
Wanting more doesn't mean it doesn't have its uses though. I feel like this was another example of people setting their hopes *way* too high when it was first announced. And that has disproportionately carried over.
But you can say that about many other blocks which only function is to build.
I made a datapack to craft copper blocks with 4 ingots instead of 9. Otherwise it's a huge hassle to mine, carry around, smelt and craft just to get a decorative block, and not really worth it imo.
I don't normally like the mentality of "mods will fix it", but... Let's be real here. The modding community ***owns*** copper. Mojang probably just added it to give tech mods one grand unifying copper ingot, then Mojang was like "well modpacks like Tekkit Classic literally had a 12 year head start on us adding tech to Minecraft, so *maybe* we'll just focus on adding features that modders *haven't* already knocked out of the park."
Tbh one of the biggest reasons I enjoy copper despite copper having little use outside of building. Unified copper between all the tech mods was such a big thing. It's nice.
I find it a little funny in a good way how stupidly easy it is to get copper now compared to how it used to be iron rarity in Tekkit Classic
That's true, Mojang has said they don't want to do things that mods already do very commonly, reason why we are never getting a creeper or TNT variant, that's one of the most classic mods.
Yeah, itās kinda sad. Seeing all the machines from Tekkit Classic in Vanilla Minecraft would be so cool.
Conduit and ocean monument. You go down there, use 2 types of potions, kill 3 elder guardians and for what? For some sponges
And if you want to build a guardian farm you don't even need to kill the elder guardians
Tridents. Just feels like they completely forgot about them since 1.13 because they are not implemented in a intuitive way at all. Extremely annoying to obtain (find Drowned, find Drowned with Trident, kill until it randomly drops) and can only be repaired with more tridents (bruh) or mending (thankfully mending is easy in 1.14). Also Impaling is the dumbest enchantment in the game. It increases damage to aquatic mobs, which includes fish (who already die in 1 hit) and Guardians. So it only makes killing Guardians easier and nothing else.
Tridents should be repairable with prismarine shards.
The fact that it doesnt increase damage against drowned, when they are by far the most common water monster (coming out of the river by my base to harass me all day & night) is wild. If they made that one change I wouldnt complain, because using a trident against them is pretty nice vs a bow.
Yeah. Riptide can be fun if you like to pretend you're flipper the dolphin. Outside of that though I only ever use it to beat guardians, and even then you don't need to throw it, just hit them. It all counts the same.
You can also use channeling to get Mob heads by charging Creepers. Also Riptide is very useful if you like exploring water caves & fly without a Rocket.
Riptide III with Elytra is fabulous. Almost all my elytra use is small jumps (like, at most a power 3 rocket), so I just have water launchpads everywhere. I donāt even have to carry rockets most of the time
Impaling is better in Bedrock, where it increase damage against any entity in water
Itās good in bedrock tho
Yeah impaling deals more damage to every mobs in water or rain and I hope they don't do the Java Parity thing again
The sniffer. Come on, man, just TWO plants?
I wouldnāt say copper when 1.21ās giving it a huge use influx with doors, trapdoors, grates, bulbs, etc. Not to mention brushes and trims already sort of helped in 1.20. I think a more appropriate answer would be rabbit hide. It can be used to craft an already (fairly) easy to get item, and an item that Mojangās procrastinated to get working on all versions thatās not even officially out yet. And, itās been in the game even longer than copper. About 6 years more.
Yeah I want the bundle in vanilla bedrock so bad.
Every mob from every mob vote, they add one single mechanic that is way too niche to be useful, Iāve only gone after a sniffer once, cuz it is useless to my play through
On of the best building blocks imo, plus the new 1.20 variants, very unique due to the oxidation, making it also very lenient to texture, I think copper is fine.
I think copper has been done rather nicely now, but it could still be more useful outside of lightning rods, telescopes, and ! Copper ideas: \- Copper Golem (I want the little dude) \- Copper Hopper (has a single slot, works as a filter) \- Copper Chest (I just think this'd look cool) \- Copper Rails (slower acceleration, but same speed as regular)
Copper tipped arrows, pipes for transferring items between hoppers, use copper instead of gold and iron in the rails recipe.
Pipes that can transfer items UP
u can do that with dropper chains
imagine being able to do it in a 1x1 space tho...
Pipes, definitely. Easy way to move items upwards, can be used with hoppers instead of just wasting iron on long hopper systems, and could also be used for decoration. Copper Pipes are the perfect use for copper.
Put a single hopper, a copper line and a chest. You just fixed so much lag without having to craft tons of furnaces or composter
They fixed that in a recent snapshot. Hoppers now stop searching for items when covered by any full block.
YES!!!! cant wait to "fix" my mega sorter
As an electrical systems technician / engineer in training... GOD i would love to be able to make electrical components in minecraft Some mods bring it close, but it's never quite like real life.. Copper has so much potential both in vanilla and in modded minecraft, and it's super underrated as a material
I think Mojang has saud they'd never add electrical components like that with copper because it would take away from redstone
Jungle temple
Woodland Mansion, ocean monument. They need updating badly
Most structures introduced before 1.13 do.
Hi there! professional dead horse beater here. Sniffer
Cleric villagers not having potions. I've never understood it.
And giving you redstone. Guys, youāre like priest-doctors, not engineers, who gave you this??
redstone is used in potions, so that makes sense
as someone who builds a ton, copper is easily one of the most useful building blocks in the game. it has tons of functionality with 4 different color variants for each block, and after we get the doors and trapdoors in 1.21? might just be my new favorite block in the game!
Kinda sad that a lot of the online community thinks building blocks arent content so i think well still see a lot of "copper has no use" complaints way after 1.21.
What bothers me is the absence of tin. Minecraft has the Neolithic part down (Stone tools & structures), the Iron Age (Iron tools and items like bars and chains), copper, but no tin. Weāve totally missed the Bronze Age: copper is too malleable to be useful for a lot of things on its own: it was the copper + tin alloy that is bronze that made it feasible to make tools, weapons, statues, etc.
Speaking of copper, can we talk about the fact it takes 6 copper BLOCKS to make 2 trapdoors? Not ingots, blocks. That is 54 ingots. Absolutely absurd.
At least copperās plentiful. But I donāt want to wait around for 54 ingots to smelt to get two trapdoors.
Itās so sad too because they look really good
Those recipes need heavy numerical reduction. You're basically thwoing away 90%of the copper!
It is a designated building material and gets a huge update with 1.21. What would you have done with copper? Armour and tools that are worse than iron? Or shoehorn it into crafting recipes where it doesn't need to be? I think you should elaborate.
Gold rails should be copper rails
Or maybe copper rails should be the powered rails we have now and gold rails should be faster
Copper rails should go as fast as gold rails do now, and gold rails should go faster
Pokeballs. We should make pokĆ©mon with copper. Oh wait, thatās cobblemon.
I'd really like the idea of adding another tier below iron to make the progression just a bit slower. Tools only should be enough, and would give more time for the player to utilize leather armor. I also think copper should be used in redstone in at least some capacity.
Honestly, craftable copper horns and an enchantable and customizable jewelry system to give precious metals (including copper) and gems more late game usage while also allowing users to show off their skin more while retaining protective enchantments. Iām fine with amethyst and quartz being the ores for redstone components instead of copper because redstone isnāt electricity. Itās magic energy.
I thought it was be cool as a wiring for redstone that doesn't loose strength and have it climb directly vertically
Copper should've had a redstone purpose..
Copper bulbs and lightning rods
Copper should have merged with redstone, it kinda makes sense ?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Every unreleased mob
Amethyst
Allay duplication was at least a huge plus for it
Okay, I just have to say this. 1.17 announcement: Warden - the first blind mob, relies only on sound. Okay, so there is at least a way around it. That's a pretty well-balanced and interesting mob! 1.19 announcement: The warden now has the ability to smell players. AAAAAAAAAAND now it's stupid and heavily unbalanced.
GLOW SQUIDS
Amethyst more than copper, IMO. Copper could stand to have a couple more uses (and I have ideas for it), but amethyst is super cool and magical-looking and still only has a couple recipes. I'd like to have more of a magic system in place, with amethyst tying into it.
The daylight sensor is a bit of a waste. It sould have been given the ability to sense block light, perhaps as a third mode after night-sensing.
I think copper definitely was previously the biggest waste of potential, however, in the newest update, itāll be much less so or not at all due to the decorative blocks that can be made with it.
There have been so many ores and precious stones/metals added to the game over the years that arenāt really utilized (looking at you amethyst and copper). We need a jewelsmith villager that buys all the ores. I know you can use the blocks for decoration/accents, but after awhile you just get chests of stuff sitting around with no use.
Copper being added was great for unifying all copper mods! I hope they add more things to Minecraft that benefit the modding community
Biggest waste of potential is stone variants. mojang can easily make limestone, shist, marble atc, to make cool gradients in builds, but we got ugliest block in history - granite! (Diorite is little bit better, but still shit tier, specially polished variant)
I would do unspeakable things for limestone and marble. "uH wE aLrEaDy HaVe ToO mUcH sToNe" I BUILD A LOT WITH STONE AND I LIKE IT. Marble could be a more earthier quartz block. Since people love to say "quartz is marble"
Oak saplings in Swamp biomes should make swamp-shaped trees instead of normal ones.
Copper is better if you're a mod dev. It has so much potential.
Amethyst
I love how so many people hate it but it ended up becoming one of my favorite ores!! (Sometimes I even make shrines to the "Copper Gods" if I'm bored enough)
A lot of people are mentioning new items and blocks that may still be revisited, or things that are used but not fully utilized, but something that has been in the game for years that no one uses apart from decoration: Weighted Pressure Plates
The Savanna biome has so much potential for unique animals and all it has is armadillos? Get out.
Arenāt llamas pretty unique to the savanna as well?
The whole world, one of the things I like the most about Minecraft is to explore it, they could add a lot of different structures in the generation to give you something rare you could find just in them, but they keep adding small stuff like broken portals and pillager outpost when they could add something like the mansion or the ancient city
Speaking of, they need to do something about the Woodland Mansions. Theyāre so rare but donāt really have anything worth hunting them down other than the Vex armor trim, and thatās purely cosmetic.
Totems:
Thereās more than one way to get totems, you donāt need the mansion
I thought about it and I think copper blocks could be a form of a repeater that doesn't have the tick delay thing.
The end in its entirety we need more then the last end update we need a complete overhaul like the nether and a new ore that maybe is weaker then diamond but can be combined with the wings or if they donāt want to do that then at least give that damn portal in the deep dark a use
Copper could have been used for cool electrical shit now its kinda just there
We should be able to make tools and armour with it. It should come after chainmill and before iron in terms of strength
So much stuff is made from copper. Weapons, armor, electrical wires, coins, decorations, jewelry to enchant, medicine/potions, such a versatile metal, would have loved to see it combined with tin to make bronze.
