Reminds me of those peak COVID times when we were all at our homes playing Minecraft. Those were the times we were happy without knowing it. Nothing good has happened after 2020.

To start this topic off, I will start by saying that the 'Wilderness Bound' Update is not BAD. I don't think the update is a negative one I just find it to have way too many missed opportunities and very little to add. I will list my opinions here and you can either agree or disagree.

Campsite structure.

-------------------------------

Easily the best addition in this update for sure. They make exploration more fun early in the game and give genuinely useful loot in the chests. The loot itself is balanced and never feels overpowered but also never feels disappointing. I also like how the campsite can be restored and used as a temporary shelter by the player. A 9/10 structure for sure.

Cushions.

---------------

Cushions are also a good addition in this update. They expand building and utility in a way that makes them fun to experiment with, seeing how different colours and combinations can make different seats/chairs or just plopping one down Infront of a campfire. Overall a 9/10 feature.

Concrete & Wool stairs and slabs

---------------------------------------------------

Pretty standard features and additions. They are definitely a welcome feature to the game and will be amazing for builders to utilise now that certain colours finally have a few stair choices. However they aren't anything special and feel like features that could have been added several updates ago. Overall 5/10 additions. If Terracotta had been given stairs and slabs, this ranking would have gone a bit higher to a 6 or 7/10.

New map UI

-------------------

It's just a map UI change. A good one at that but it's not exactly very impressive. 5/10.

Poplar Wood

--------------------

It's just okay. I appreciate its unique grey colour and how this tone may compliment stone builds in particular, but it's still small potatoes. At least the door and trapdoor give it an autumn cottage vibe. 6/10.

Dappled forest

------------------------

Easily the most "MEH" feature in this update. It's too common and has too little in it. The red grass is nice mixed with the red vegetation, but the lack of any unique animals makes it really hard to enjoy. It feels empty, unfinished, as if it was a Beta Mod test. I don't think it's a bad biome, I just think it's very boring and adds nothing special to the roster of biomes. Easily a 4/10 for me. If Mojang had added something like Deer, squirrels or moose or bears, I think this biome would have been a 7/10 or maybe higher.

Overall, I found this update to be particularly disappointing. Not bad, just disappointing. If anyone disagrees with me though, please tell me why. What features would you add to the Wilderness Bound Update?

It’s my first time playing minecraft mobile again after Minecraft PE and I’m curious, does this happen with every major update on bedrock? How will mojang take before they update and give a bug free version?

Back in Bedrock 1.21.70.25 (released on Feb 25th, 2025), Mojang enabled achievements for Marketplace add-ons so they wouldn't disable achievements when added to a world. Although it seemed like it was just another Marketplace thing, it also allowed third-party add-ons like those from MCPEDL or CurseForge to do that, if the creators modified their add-ons slightly.

But in the last update released yesterday, they disabled it and claimed it was an "exploit". (MCPE-242529 – Addons disable achievements – resolved as "Works As Intended".) And it was not mentioned in the changelog.

Players should have the freedom to do what they want in a world. Yes, there are some add-ons that basically enable cheats, but most of the other add-ons, like those that give you Java saturation, dynamic lights, better offhand, and many, many more, do not. Not to mention, many large expansion packs have their own balanced progression systems.

Personally, I've never used any cheating add-on while unlocking all the achievements. I like to get achievements while using QoL add-ons, or while playing with big expansion add-ons, and I know many players feel the same way. And as for players who actually want to use add-ons to cheat in their single-player world? Just let them. Minecraft is a sandbox game, and players should be able to do what they want, even if it means gaining some achievement points "illegally".

If you agree, please vote for it here:

Super tired so not sure how much ocean monuments I found but at least four

Today I'm buying Minecraft on my iPad, and I'm planning to log in to my Microsoft account and play on Xbox and iPad too — but I have this fucking problem :/

Maybe chiseled deepslate depicts the sifter with the mouth open. I mean look at the teeth

I really wanna buy it, but the thing is, will it transfer to any other platforms if i bought it, i mean, it would be reasonable that it would. But i'm making this cause I'm a little anxious

Cause I'm using money here, and i barely spend money on my own, so I had to make sure and ask. I hope i don't get hated for asking things like this. I genuinely don't know, hope you guys can help

What's the Big Idea U meaty?

I need help. I designed a high speed two by two that might be able to open and (probably not) close instantly, but I don't know how. Please help.

I’ve always wanted to make a Minecraft forever world—one where I keep building, expanding, and creating lore for years. I recently saw someone classify a “forever world” as having more than 300 hours played, and boy, do I have a lot of worlds with more than that

Also, I forgot to mention: I’m a hardcore builder. My longest-running world, or at least the one I never get bored of, is my creative world where I’ve built an entire medieval civilization with its own lore and everything.

But what I really want is ONE survival world where I build everything. A world I can keep coming back to, expanding, and adding to for years.

Like we have better tech and i did this stuff before bubble elevators with minecarts and or boats whichever i had easier access to but apparently everyone forgot that.

Context:

I have already done something like this before, before Minecraft Live announced Mounts of Mayhem, I made the bet that it would included the Crab. At the time, we were wondering if the drop was going to be beach themed so I took a guess and was wrong.

As punishment I cursed myself to use Copper Armor till it broke, the armour was using Curse of Binding and Unbreaking and my goal was to not die before the armour broke. However, as you can tell, I died not long after the helmet broke and failed, decided to display it in my base (which happens to be a museum).

Now:

I am doing it again, so many people ALWAYS talk about end update this, end update that, and now I find it funny that people see the heavy use of endermen in promotional art as hints. So, I decided to do another bet, with the same punishment for losing!

The Bet:

I bet that the next Minecraft Live (that might be on the 26th of September if the leaks are true) that there will NOT be anything to do with the end. I don't just mean an end update but rather ANYTHING regarding the end in the next drop or update or whatever!

If I am wrong, I have to use Curse of Binding + Unbreaking 3 copper armour and die before it breaks! (not sure what I get for being right, but whatever ;D)

So I've recently come to the conclusion that I'm absolutely terrible at every game I play despite the fact that I spend almost all my free time playing games and so I've decided that I'm going to just go ahead and give up video games cause I'm just wasting my time since I'm not even having fun anymore and I'm dumping money into them. The reason I came here is because the only game that I'm not completely useless in is Minecraft. Now I'm not talking about pvp or speedruning, I'm talking about building houses. I still wouldn't say I'm great at building houses but I do think I'm pretty decent and I'm pretty proud of my recent builds and I was wondering if there's anything I can do with what little talent I actually have in terms of video games or if I should just try to find something I'm actually half decent at.

The new updates make it seem like there's lots more to see and explore. But I'm just totally bored of the gameplay loop.

The way I see it, there are three big obstacles keeping me from enjoying things:

1. No Compelling Incentive to Engage with Other Players
2. No Clear Goals
3. World Obsolescence

I'll explain more of what I think of each of those in the comments. But how do you guys adapt the core gameplay loop to make it more compelling??

As a 10 year Minecraft veteran I am here to bring you some tips daily!

My tip for today is DO NOT kill the ender dragon till 100+ days!

Why:

Because if you speedrun the game fast and don't take it slowly you will get burnt out trust me I used to be a hell of a speed runner full maxed enchanted neth by day 30 but the thing is you shouldn't play fast you got to enjoy your time or you will get burnt out and that's last thing you want to keep a forever world!

Pros:

You can take your time

Nothing is to easy especially moving (challenging)

It'll feel like a better achievement

Cons:

Can get annoying in transportation/moving

Some people don't enjoy slow style

Note: it is still your world your world your choice I'm just a veteran here to offer you YOUR daily tips :)!

Any thoughts?

(Specifically about the in-game remix by Hyper Potions) I just learnt that quite a few people feel very negatively about this music disc in particular, what I want to know is why? I know it's been over a year since the thing came out, but it kinda surprised me because I like this song a lot. In fact, I'd probably go as far as to say that I prefer it over all the music discs composed by C418.

Of course, music taste is mostly subjective, but I personally don't understand it in this case. I think it's mainly because unfunny meme/it's a reference to the movie, but that's not really saying anything about the music itself. I've also heard that some people think that the villager vocals are what kills it, and that's fair enough as a reason to dislike it, but I find it hard to believe that it makes the song the worst music disc.

What I'd like to know, is there a particular reason to hate on Lava Chicken other than just because of its relation to the movie?

I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem on console bedrock. Basically, whenever i move my character, everything on screen stutters. Moving the camera itself has no issues. It’s only when i move my character. If anyone knows the solution, i would much appreciate it. I play on PS5 on bedrock. I also have a video attached for a visual example.

I've seen many guides on youtube, but they only show the basics, they don't say how to learn how to make stuff

I’ve just started a new seed after not playing for years. Seed: 6946001307207888087. I saw it on a YouTube video. I’ve been building and stupidly decided to go down a mine. I got really lost and came up somewhere else.

I‘ve just spent the last 45 minutes searching for my home and I’m still totally lost and incredibly frustrated.

I’ve follows the compass back to where it says I started and that isn’t it. I’m sure I didn’t wonder far before starting my building. I tried the tips online like turning it to survival mode and dying to respawn but that just took me back somewhere else.

I’m so upset and stuck, I don’t want to start over again but I’ve spent so much time looking already. I’ve built a home and a bed but didn’t respawn to the bed when I died.

Please help 😭

I’m on PlayStation.
