Tell us what your favourite Minecraft update or feature is!

I liked the cave update personally. I am a big fan of exploration in most games I play so for me it was deffo that, my only issue was it messed up the mining levels a bit.

So it became harder to find diamonds in Minecraft, but the update was sound.

My favourite Minecraft update is Caves and Cliffs because of the introduction of axolotls! They’re absolutely adorable, but beware—never eat fish when axolotls are around, or you’ll regret it! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

I think a big milestone for Minecraft was The Nether Update. I thought it gave the Nether a really good makeover, which had previously been a slightly simpler and less attractive dimension.

As I love Minecraft's almost limitless ability to create, I think the new biomes, such as the Warped Forest and Soul Sand Valley, provide new experiences, not just visually, but in terms of gameplay too!

We know that the scenery changes the experience of the game, and the environment of each biome and the color palette greatly enhance the Minecraft experience. One that I loved was the Warped Forest with its shades of blue and green that leave a mysterious feeling!

Another really cool aspect was the new mobs, such as the Piglins, which brought more dynamics. I think bartering has become more interesting, where you can exchange gold for specific items.

The Nether is now more explorable, and this update shows how Minecraft is impressive and always reinvents itself, with the perfect balance between new features and the nostalgia of playing.

My favorite Minecraft update is definitely Caves & Cliffs. Released in two parts between 2021 and 2022 for the Java and Bedrock editions, the update simply transformed the way we played the entire game, both on the surface and underground.

Part 1 brought new blocks, mobs and items, some examples being amethyst, copper and our friend axolot. Part 2 was the big difference, as Mojang revamped the way terrain was generated, completely remodeling the mountains and caves (which are now much deeper, have their own elements such as stalactites and have their own biomes), which totally changed the monotonous act of going after ore in the game, turning it into an epic adventure at the slightest hint of a cave.

It's not just new caves that satisfy a Minecraft player haha, the mountains have also gained biomes and we've had the combination of the two changes, when we arrive at a mountain and it has hidden caves, which infinitely increases the content generated.

Blocks:

As for the blocks, copper was a wise decision by mojang, as it ushered in a new era with the oxidation and crafting of it, since we can now have lightning rods

New mobs:

As said above, we've had the addition of Axoloti, Glow Squid and Goat

When I first saw the demo at Gamescom in 2019, I was blown away by how this technology breathed new life into a 10-year-old game. While the cats and wardens are cool, the RTX feature, in my opinion, is the real game-changer.
