Mojang has revealed that the Minecraft's annual mob vote (a feature that allows players to pick the next creature added to the game) tradition is coming to an end as part of a new game update structure, following TikTok war propaganda-inspired posters by players fed-up with the tradition.
On September 9, via a post on its blog, Mojang announced that its annual news livestream, Minecraft Live, is discarding the mob vote feature and is now being split up into several smaller, more-focused broadcasts, which will occur twice a year. Mojang also revealed that free content updates would be released more often, abandoning the traditional annual larger updates and sticking to smaller updates like this year's Armored Paws update.
Ryan Cooper explains that Mojang will focus on updates based on what they hear from the players' community, as it would be more impactful, even though the updates may seem smaller.
"... some updates will be large in content size, some might be a bit smaller. What we're really going for is the impact. We want to deliver more features and content to players based on what we're hearing, what the community's telling us. And some of those features might appear to be small from a content size perspective, but they will be really, really impactful for players," he said, in an interview with IGN.
"... we had an armored paws update... And so we found that the response of that was really, really positive. And so those are the kinds of things that we're looking forward to, going forward. Some of them will really large and some of them will be on the smaller size in comparison, but really we're going after impact. We really want players to be excited about the game drops."
He also talks about how he would equally focus on all platforms, making all the experiences in each platform, a great one, "... So yes, I mean we're focused on all platforms, all platforms equal. It's very important to us that everyone receives the very best experience possible. And when things do pop up on a specific platform that requires our attention, we're all hands on deck to make sure those experiences are great."
"And we're also looking ahead to the future always... We want as many people on earth to play Minecraft and experience it because of its uniqueness. It is obviously a game that promotes creativity... And that's why we do what we do is we want as many people as we can playing the game."
However you look at it, Minecraft fans are in for some changes, as Mojang has committed to long-term impactful improvements to the game. Updates aren't the only thing coming for the game's 15th anniversary, Netflix is working on the game's animated series, following its divisive movie trailer.
