5 Features Minecraft Still Needs to Add After 15 Years (Including a Big Villagers Upgrade)

by

Over the past 15 years, Minecraft has undergone significant transformations, with numerous updates reshaping the game in ways never anticipated by Mojang during its initial creation. Despite these changes, it’s clear that there are still improvements to be made, as evidenced by ongoing updates. With this understanding, here are five features that should be included in the next update for Minecraft.

1. More End Structures

The End could certainly benefit from a refresh. Despite being Minecraft’s most thrilling location, it’s often disappointing due to lack of incentive post-Ender Dragon defeat. Its danger level is high and the risk of losing items upon death doesn’t seem worth the effort, especially considering that the main reward is an Elytra.

Although an Elytra can be beneficial, the dangers of venturing into the End make it not entirely worth the risk. To make this dimension more appealing to visit, there could be additional structures with better rewards. If the Nether received a complete update, complete with new items, structures, and biomes, then the End deserves one as well.

2. New Roles for Existing but One-Dimensional Mobs

It might be beneficial for Mojang to pause and concentrate on the current mobs in Minecraft, as it seems that many recently introduced mobs only have a single function. For instance, the Axolotl, Allay, Sniffer, Glow Squid, and Goat all fit this description.

Instead of continually introducing new creatures in each update, Mojang could focus on finding additional roles for existing mobs. For instance, while the Sniffer and Axolotl are charming additions, they aren’t particularly useful in gameplay. To maintain variety without overwhelming the game, it would be beneficial to expand the duties of existing mobs before introducing more one-dimensional ones. As a bonus thought, let’s also make the bat a more valuable creature in the game as well.

3. New Crops

In Minecraft, farming can be an enjoyable and engaging activity. Nurturing your garden, gathering crops, and repeating the process creates one of the most comforting aspects within the game. It’s not only entertaining but also beneficial as it supplies food, lets you trade ammunition for emeralds, and much more. However, at present, farming in Minecraft has certain restrictions.

In this space, you’re primarily focusing on cultivating wheat, potatoes, melons, pumpkins, beetroot, and carrots. However, expanding your gardening repertoire with vegetables like tomatoes, beans, and various fruits could greatly enrich the gaming experience. Such additions would not only make the game more exciting but also increase the variety of food options within it, which is always beneficial.

4. More Villager Jobs

The inhabitants of these rural settlements are constantly busy, yet there’s always room for additional tasks. It’s possible that some village occupations, such as shepherd or butcher, might not be essential and could potentially be replaced with more beneficial ones. Regardless, the villagers would benefit from a wider range of activities. Furthermore, it seems that there should be an expansion in the variety of roles that villagers naturally appear with within villages, instead of repeating the same few roles consistently.

As a Minecraft enthusiast, I’ve often found myself wishing for more diverse professions within the game. Luckily, there’s a modding community that’s been creating some amazing job roles! Take, for instance, the Netherologist, Forester, Enderologist, Engineer, Florist, Hunter, and Miner – these are just a few examples of real-world jobs that would bring an entirely new level of excitement to the game. I can only imagine how much more immersive Minecraft could be if Mojang decided to incorporate some of these professions into the vanilla version! Here’s to hoping they do it soon!

5. More Tameable Pets

In Minecraft, there are a limited variety of pets that can be domesticated, primarily consisting of dogs (wolves) and cats. Compared to the total possible choices, this is quite minimal. Horses, which require taming before a saddle can be added, somewhat fit into this category, but they’re not entirely comparable. Foxes, on the other hand, aren’t domesticated; instead, they can only be captured.

Here’s a variety of potential new pet options: hamsters, aquarium-bound fish, lizards, as well as some currently wild animals like foxes, llamas, goats, frogs, rabbits, turtles, and axolotls could also be considered suitable pets. Additionally, it’s worth considering expanding the range of creatures that can be domesticated.
