    So you're saying that polar bears aren't well known? Or parrots? Or llamas?
    Llamas actually are indigenous to the Andes Mountains in South America, so it does make sense for them to be found in mountainous regions ingame. And you could argue that bats and rabbits don't fit in the game either, or that ocelots are similarly rather pointless, but no one complains about them.

    Nope, it was always this bad. You just don't remember it because you're nostalgia gets in the way.

    huh do you hear llamas in conversations commonly?
    parrots and polar bears still, but i believe they just dont fit with the other animals

    have you heard people talk about ocelots recently? Or mules? Or zombie pigmen?
    ________________________________
    How do they not fit? Because they don't serve a purpose, like how ocelots, bats and pigmen don't? (Although it should be said that Parrots work as a creeper alarm of sorts, and that llamas are useful for storage over long stretches of land before you can get a Shulker Box.) Or because they are biome specific, like villagers, ocelots, horses and pre-1.8 witches? Because otherwise you're going to have to be more specific as to your problem with them

    you know, if there are wolves, why not ocelots
    mules are just a variation of horses, not much
    zombie pigmen... well knowing how much piggies we kill in minecraft it is quite normal the nether is infested with them

    So your logic is that something has to be based off of something ingame? In which case, we have chickens and bats, and varying colors for rabbits and horses, so parrots shouldn't bother you. And we have mules and horses, so why not llamas? Both are useful for traversing location, so llamas shouldn't bother you. So really the polar bear is the only thing that doesn't follow this thread of logic, and if we were willing to accept all of the other animals (wolves, horses, rabbits, ocelots, bats, ETC ETC) when they first came out, why not accept the polar bear as well?

    es they are going to do that, what are they adding? Colorful blocks and dancing parrots, which have been asked for by many builders like Grian himself, Lets think about it this way. Do you want Dancing parrots and colorful blocks? The Terracota blocks are good in some sense, for builders and what not, But they are a much much brighter shade, doesn't really fit too much into Mc. It still is a younger audiance appeal thing, dancing parrots and dirt houses [now terracota abominations] much needed updates like a rebalancing of the combat system. They literally asked reddit for pvp feedback, and ignored other sources. Perhaps they will continue to add updates to P.C., and will not kill it, still gonna be sorta shit in my opinion. But that new content helps servers like Wynncraft create their own content; Previously explained that microsoft [not mojang] Does not like things they Cannot control. hence why many servers hate them, as microsoft is limiting creativity, unless it gives them money. 1. Map buidlers / content creators like wynn can no longer sell their items to 3rd parties, Wynn doesn't fit in this category, but just hang on. They can now Either A. Give up and lose $$$ [which many smaller map creators do] B. Sell their stuff to marketplace and Microsoft [where it is resold for more cash, they still get money, but so does microsoft] C. Be Microsoft and excempt yourself from your own rules and hire blockworks. just look at what we did with the item skinning system and items like slime blocks. And think about the new noteblocks, the new mobs and items from 1.11.2 and 1.12, and the new recipe system. Recipe System. Minecraft is a survival and building game. The recipe system is not needed. Its becoming x-box. Who wants the recipe system? Younger newer players Why? Minecraft doesn't really need updates. You could argue that wynncraft doesn't either; it works ok for now, does it not? What else can they add? Rebalancing the combat system for one, add more mobs and blocks, add more items, expand the 1.12 recipe system, expand the 1.12 advancement system, Yes! They can rebalance the combat system. thats what I want! BUTTTT nope its dancing parrots instead. Also how will the recipe system be expanded? its literally creative but you need the recipes, Ok advancements are ok I guess, a bit better than the old ones. More mobs and blocks? Have you seen the new ones? running out of ideas! ETC.The recent updates really appeal to younger audiances, across all platforms.why is that a bad thing? 4 words. Console and Pocket Edition. P.C. does not make money, at all, around 80% of minecraft sales are console or pocket edition, and those make the most money. How? By taxing skins, maps, texture packs, and otherwise free items, Younger people dont know about how to create free skins, or anything, BECAUSE THEY DONT CARE. Its just mum get the credit card. P.C. is a older playerbase, and is harder to make money on, so how do you make money from it? Make it appeal to younger people who buy more stuff. But perhaps [likely] I am wrong. O.K. Onto point 2

    i mean, i like they are ingame, but i believe there could have been better animals for this
    rabbits still because... eh, rabbits are talked about really commonly, and the killer rabbit is a quite nice easter egg
    parrots... well, they are ok because eh, we needed some birds in minecraft, it didnt fit that we already created stuff to fly and there are no flying creatures in the overworld (excepting bats), now, the llamas are what i dont really find sense, i mean, i havent heard of these animals in my life excepting in some random disney cartoon and i rarely heard about them

    btw why are we discussing about what animals should be inside or not? ._.

    I don't care for the dancing parrots but they do have a purpose as a creeper alarm so. And yes, colorful blocks are useful and terracotta blocks can be retextured, used in carpets, etc. etc. so I do like them actually.
    Texture packs are a thing, you know
    first off, why is trying to get players a bad thing? WE were that younger audience once, and look at us now
    Second, I doubt new players could even get terracotta
    I think you took my statement and took it waaay out of context. I was talking about how new content for vanilla can be repurposed for new content in servers like wynn, and you go on a tangent about how microsoft wants to kill servers, which they likely won't as it'd completely kill the playerbase.
    I honestly like the current system. If you don't like it just use some mods; I recommend Tinkers Construct
    Well, you can currently already use it as a progression system in adventure maps, for example, due to the way the recipe book system works. Eventually, they could possibly expand it to allow the creation of custom recipes via command blocks and whatnot.
    I do; it's convenient and, might I add, OPTIONAL. If you're really so bugged by it, just don't use it.
    if new mobs and blocks count as running out of ideas, then they've been running out of ideas since 1.0.
    Also you have no idea how tempted I was to add a "sad!" at the end of that quote lol

    Because those are cheaper. That's really not some sort of conspiracy, it's just cheaper.
    that's literally why they created the EULA. You really think they'd be willing to suffer another publicity nightmare like that?
    again, WE were that younger audience. You act like those kids are like Peter Pan and that they'll never grow up. Time flies, and it affects everyone.
    dunno but I find it funny that the mineplex rant thread has become a debate about cross platform play and the debate thread about cross platform play has become a mineplex rant thread

    Admit it, Parrots have 0 use.
    Its just to sell parrot plushies, and to make little kids happy.
    Creeper alarm?
    Cough cough bring a cat

    Terracotta can be retextured, so can any block. My point is the block itself doesn't fit. if your happy for new blocks to re-texture, Then what does that say about the quality of Terracota? It's shit, other than for being more blocks to texture

    But they are a much much brighter shade, doesn't really fit too much into Mc
    Texture packs are a thing, you know
    ^^^^^ read above

    It still is a younger audiance appeal thing, dancing parrots and dirt houses [now terracota abominations]

    New players is fine! As long as they the game still works for older generations, which it is slowly drifting away from, Minecraft is all about micro transactions and making cash now,

    Previously explained that microsoft [not mojang] Does not like things they Cannot control. hence why many servers hate them, as microsoft is limiting creativity, unless it gives them money. 1. Map buidlers / content creators like wynn can no longer sell their items to 3rd parties, Wynn doesn't fit in this category, but just hang on. They can now Either A.

    It wont.
    Less than 20% of players play on P.C.
    Microsoft already limits things in P.C.
    Third Party deals
    And Making Money [easy]
    Microsoft wants to control their cash, and to maximise profits.
    If killing off maybe 10%? [1/2 of the 20% are young probs]
    Earns them mroe revenue, then they are happy! Because what do we give them for money? Nothing, we dont buy their parrot plushies, ocelot plushies, Lego sets, or anything.

    Yes! They can rebalance the combat system.
    I honestly like the current system. If you don't like it just use some mods; I recommend Tinkers Construct
    Majority of players agree it needs to be rebalanced,
    i like the combat system
    But in it Axes are useless, as they have a lower DPS,
    and pvp is much much slower,
    So many servers use 1.8 pvp

    Also how will the recipe system be expanded?
    Well, you can currently already use it as a progression system in adventure maps, for example, due to the way the recipe book system works. Eventually, they could possibly expand it to allow the creation of custom recipes via command blocks and whatnot.
    Uhhhh what?
    The recipe system is this:
    Pick up DIRT,
    Shows thins i can craft with DIRT
    which i could already craft anyway
    Its just to make the game easier for new kiddies,
    [like x-box]

    Who wants the recipe system?
    I do; it's convenient and, might I add, OPTIONAL. If you're really so bugged by it, just don't use it.
    Its part of the appeal to new players

    running out of ideas
    if new mobs and blocks count as running out of ideas, then they've been running out of ideas since 1.0.
    Also you have no idea how tempted I was to add a "sad!" at the end of that quote lol
    Yep, Minecrarft is running out of ideas,
    Unless they want to become roblox with tons of items, many of which wont be used.


    around 80% of minecraft sales are console or pocket edition
    Because those are cheaper. That's really not some sort of conspiracy, it's just cheaper.
    Not really, Its like a Clash of Clans Trap
    Seems cheap, seems fun, until you see marketplace
    and buying skins for 3.99$ [actual price for 4 skins]


    Its just mum get the credit card
    that's literally why they created the EULA. You really think they'd be willing to suffer another publicity nightmare like that?
    the EULA was not to limit P2W kiddies, its to make sure they control money flow.

    Make it appeal to younger people who buy more stuff
    again, WE were that younger audience. You act like those kids are like Peter Pan and that they'll never grow up. Time flies, and it affects everyone.
    but when WE played, there were no parrot plushies, lego sets, skins for 4.99$
    Now its different.
    They appeal to younger audiances for money,
    After all mojang doesn't exist.
    Any decisions they make can be overruled by microsoft, as they have majority share.
    and Microsoft gotta make back that 3 BILLION

    btw why are we discussing about what animals should be inside or not?
    dunno but I find it funny that the mineplex rant thread has become a debate about cross platform play and the debate thread about cross platform play has become a mineplex rant thread
    Mineplex is part of the problem
