I don't know what he'll do to make Minecraft better, he doesn't have Zachtronics to steal ideas from this time around; and nobody likes him.

Please for the love of god. Someone add proper split screen and controller support for any Minecraft clone.The mods available aren't good enough for kids.
We have that. Its the mods on top of Minecraft. Nothing made will ever come close to those.
I eagerly look forward to not playing it.
Pretty sure Terraria already exists.
Notch is a fascist.
I mean, to this day I haven't played a Minecraft clone that left me satisfied so I doubt Mr. Bored Depressed Billionaire over there will manage to capture lighting in a bottle twice...
(And I doubt he's using his free time to learn a new programming language either so it's gonna be Java again god help us all)
I believe he has been using JS now so all is good 🙏

Real talk what's wrong with Java? It's runtime is rock solid at this point and it's a very mature lang with a great ecosystem.
To be fair I'm being a dickhead.
I'm sure Minecraft's slowness has more to do with how it was built/tech debt and such than Java itself, as the mods that massively boost performance show.
You know why villagers cause so much lag if there's too many and they're allowed to roam free? Well, rather than optimise their pathfinding logic they just... recalculate their paths every goddamn frame. They also take shortcuts in calculating their paths to reduce this overhead, so their movement is derpy and frequently kills them.
You could make the path then record all the blocks they will interact with, and only recalculate if one of those blocks changes. Boom, millions of operations eliminated, and you've got some spare time to make sure the paths will actually work. You could also stagger pathfinding so if a bunch of villagers need a path all at once - like you just blocked a path to where they were all going - you could spread out that load, and prevent lag spikes.
But they don't do that, so people end up sticking them in tiny boxes on top of carpets so they stop trying to pathfind. Just absurd stuff.
Fair.
Note it says work on, not finish.
He still never finished Minecraft.
At this point, he should just rehire Jen's to do it again.
Notch has a track record of announcing things he wouldnt add
I am still waiting for fortress mode to be added to Minecraft, for the planned dlc and for the game to be licensed under an open source license
Yes, the DLC we were promised for life for buying it during alpha.
Don't forget the story mode he said they're be adding.
Api when
Did they ever actually specify what they meant with that promise?
I mean, datapacks ARE a modding API. Not the kind we would have liked to see, but if a modding api is all they promised, then they did deliver on that.
It's called data-driven modding, and not exactly a rare approach among official modding APIs.
Hasnt that been added in bedrock edition?
No idea but it was promised for Java
There's no Infiniminer 2 for him to crib ideas from though so hows that gonna work
Infinifactory?
Okay, but haven't we already had this in the form of [ Insert Failed Game Here ] or Luanti?
Only white people will be allowed to play.
We already have Dragon Quest Builders.
This is the way. Dragon Quest builders 2 is a joy to look at and play.
The superior game and it already has a sequel!
