So what was everyone’s thoughts?

In case anyone didn’t see the features announced:

!Combat Trials, New hostile mob (mini wither boss looking thing), More Copper and Tuff varients, New Mob Spawner Type, An automatic crafter !<

Personally I didn’t watch it, though I’ve looked through all that was announced. Honestly not sure how I feel about it. Part of me was really hoping for some work on inventory (like desperately) and they said nothing.

The trials thing seems interesting, though not really my play style so I don’t have much to comment on. The copper and Tuff variants are cool but it feels like a feature we should have got a few updates ago. The crafter, I’m not sure how I feel about and am curious what the community thinks. Part of me thinks it’s not super “vanilla” as you can automate so much now, and Mojang had expressed how they didn’t want that to be an aspect of the game so I’m a bit confused. The way they implemented it and the ways players will have to engineer it to do what they want fit the vanilla feel though imo. That being said some of these features have already existed through modding for years.

I used to be much more of a “vanilla” survival player (some qol mods, similar to something like Hermitcraft) though I have recently started playing a Create focused pack I made. After playing the modded version I have a hard time seeing myself going back to “vanilla”. With this latest live, I noticed I already had some features that they announced in my pack. Sort of kills the hype imo, when you have to wait so long for the update.

    more copper and tuff variants

    How about more copper and tuff uses? There seems to have been a content explosion in the past 5 or so updates (maybe more), but it’s just feels superficial somehow. The worldgen changes are fine, but the block/item additions are sorely lacking integration with the rest of the game.

    Copper especially feels like it should have WAY more uses than it currently does. Here’s some free ideas: combine it with Redstone to increase its conductivity, throw it in fire to turn the flames green, or maybe allow us to actually make tools with it?
