I honestly don't want to see sharks in MC, I want Mojang to come up with their own hostile see creatures.

This Mod Is One Of The Reasons I Still Play Minecraft And I Like It Very Much, But...If We Have A Bigger team, Shouldn't That Speed Up The Process Of The Updates?

What planet are you on? Microsoft owns Minecraft.
OT: I hated the combat update. But overall I enjoy the game immensely. It hasn't "gone bad" for me yet.

When Microsoft bought it and runied the combat system. ( 1.9 and so on )

Never, simply never.

Too late means nothing to me, anyway removing the block id limits is a step in the right direction, tho I honestly don't know how it would affect modding in general but I guess we just have to wait and see.

Not sure how that's really relevant unless you're saying Switch will also be able to play with windows 10 and xbox one players...

if you had to guess the progress what would it be?

Java version proves that "Better together" update was a lie. It should have been called the "Microsoft platforms band together" update.

Modders know how to use java, java's probably one of the easiest programming languages to learn which makes the java version of minecraft ideal in this situation.

Haven't seen anyone agreeing with the geniuses at Mojang that ruining the horse model and animations was a good thing. I'm with the masses thinking that it's just objectively a bad change. This update is going to severely neuter my enjoyment of building animal ranches in vanilla. As I said in another thread, it doesn't match the quality or complexity of recently added models, like bunnies. The change is one of pure sabotage, going along with some falsely professed ideal that Minecraft is supposed to look blocky and bad. It likely stemmed from some old, very minor drama over part of a mod being added, and looking better than what was in the game at the time. I think the Dr. Zhark horse model should be an example of what all mob models should look like, cows look stupid, and so do futile attempts to make derp horses pass inspection.

As Ravage656 said, how about improving the other models instead of downgrading the game? Making the game worse doesn't sit right to me, I don't care for the justification that Minecraft is supposed to look terrible. Of course not changing the horse model means the 3D artist who did it is being called a failure - which they pretty much are, if you look at those attempts - but being stubborn isn't a good thing here; the game is supposed to be produced for customers, not as an ego trip.

The texture changes seems like a move to get rid of or pave over anything Notch did, just for the sake of doing that. Here we contradict "Minecraft must look blocky and bad as Notch designed it." Nothing to do with improvement, everything to do with bad office politics and a lasting grudge his previous employees have against him. Unfortunately it's not even a good default replacement, but just an edit of the vanilla textures that looks like many of the worse amateur attempts. The new textures look muddy and bad, and the artist is one who holds himself as immune to criticism. With the change in art direction, this is going to be rather annoying for anyone who preferred the old textures.

Because your going to have a groups of people going around and telling the devs that the current mob models are "iconic" and the change is "unnecessary". Not saying that Mojang should downgrade stuff or anything like that.

If you really want to get into the conspiracy theories, you could say that they are changing the textures to try to get the legacy edition to slowly fade away so people only know of the new version where you have to pay for texture packs, skins, shaders, etc. Oh wait, they're already trying to make the legacy editions fade away.

So, because a few of the block textures look bad we need to change almost all of the item, block, and mob textures?

The answer is no, simply no.

Exactly!

Frankly, over the years the style was always maintained pretty well. I find it hard to see how they "look bad" in any real sort of way. he textures of Minecraft helped make it what it is. You can show a texture from Minecraft to someone, and bang, they'll be able to tell you on the spot which game it came from. These new textures though? Not only to they look appalling, but it just tramples right over the legacy and style that Minecraft possessed. My gut is wondering if that's what they're out to do.

Potential tinfoil aside, I'm still blown away that they didn't hire a better artist, especially with the money they're sitting on and supported by.
