1.20 The Retrospect Update

The 1.18 Caves and Cliffs is on horizon, and the 1.19 Wild Update has been announced and showcased in Minecraft Live. I utterly love the Warden's animations, which was also showcased, and that it adds new gameplay elements to the game. It got me thinking on something  on something that's been on my mind for a while.

An update not focusing on new content, but rethinking and reworking everything that's already there with today's standards in mind. For example, dolphins and pandas do so much more than pigs and cows, who just walk around by default. Their animations could use a little spice after so much time, and the Wild Update's Mud could serve as a playground for pigs. Extend this kind of creative thinking to most of, if not all aspects of the game. Breeding, brewing (would love to see brewing in cauldrons), farming, weather, anything that comes to mind may be worth thinking about.

Ask the question: If this was added to Minecraft today, what would it be like?

Then who knows. Maybe the next update could look at new content again, uncraftable items to loot to make adventuring more interesting? Topic for another post.

    An update focused on polishing the game is exactly what MineCraft needs. In my experience with the game, there seems to be a lot of new content that's just pushed out and builds hype. Yet when it actually reaches the game it's often overly niche and ends up forgotten. A major issue that needs overhauling comes with the movement and pathfinding of most mobs, goats are cool and all but when you try to lead them back to your home they often get stuck and this is the case with both rabbits (who get stuck on simple 1-block jumps) and llamas (attempting to move a caravan is so difficult that it's not worth it). A secondary issue I have is that some features become so rare and niche that they basically don't affect the game in any way, this is prominent with things like the trident where you need to grind drowned for ages only to get a near broken one. At that point in the game you are likely to have gear far better than the trident even with maximum enchantments. There is also the furnace minecart, I love this thing. The idea of allowing rail travel earlier in the game without requiring overly large amounts of gold is effectively balanced by the fuel cost, the major issue being that it is absolutely busted. So broken in fact that if it hits a simple slope or bend in the track it makes a mess of your beautiful train. Yet another issue is farming that is reliant on bone meal, this applies mostly to crimson/warped fungus. They are cool wood types, but why not farm it normally?

    An update where the game is improved on will be nice.
    No new blocks or mobs but only improving the current things in-game.
