Many are wondering why it seemingly took "weeks" to add Concrete Stairs and Slabs. Here's what I think is important to remember: 1. The devs working on them likely also work on other things at the same time. 2. All of these blocks must be implemented on both JE and BE, [1/2]
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 16h agoSounds like Concrete Stairs & Slabs were always in the plan for Drop 3, but just weren't ready before the latest snapshot. #Minecraft
The use of the word "adventure" implies features like the Abandoned Camp and Straw Bed are in fact part of that long-term "adventure" initiative Agnes spoke about. Just interesting to know to be able to keep track of the progress of the initiative. #Minecraft

Redstone is obviously known for contraptions, but it also has properties in magic (consider brewing). Its magical connection has largely been left aside (though I guess Lapis has also been used since). Regardless, I think Redstone could be expanded in the magical direction somehow, even with Lapis.

Honestly I don't have much thoughts on them. We've seen looks at them previously through other mediums. I'm not really thinking about them for vanilla #Minecraft since we barely know about them for Dungeons II and we don't know that they will come to vanilla.

It's baffling how long they've held out on adding offhand to Bedrock. We know it's on the list, just got to see when they finally have it ready enough for Previews.

With the updated textures for spawn eggs, dyes, maps, etc., I wonder if Fences will ever get revamped with smoother textures that make more sense than how they are now. #Minecraft
I think the dimension we see in Dungeons II should be added some day because it's an official part of the universe. But if that didn't exist... it's always neat but #Minecraft doesn't NEED one just yet, especially when an existing dimension has so much untapped potential still.

Oh 100%. I mean I think I prefer game drops now anyway because so many recent features were probably never added previously because they couldn't fit the yearly update system, but we've been told that updates comparable to Caves & Cliffs can be drops. Of course we still [1/2]

I don't think you can. People always want more. There's always going to be that one more thing that wasn't added even though someone thinks it's "obvious" or "easy." It happened back during #Minecraft's major updates too. To me, it's just about judging what the update was, not what it wasn't. [1/2]

I hope so. Mojang does know players like Calcite, and Dripstone also currently has nothing despite being farmable and common. Basalt would be hard to separate from Deepslate, but there's ideas out there. And of course Granite, Diorite, and Andesite need way more. #Minecraft

The end! Funny timing though on this one. I've got some more but I'll go through those later (perhaps tomorrow)!
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 3d agoMinecwaft, Drop 3, the future... let's talk! ngl.link/mintrefresh
Oh no this feels like an impossible question for me. "Dream" isn't how I'd best describe this, but there's some existing systems that need modernization (like enchanting/repairing) and I think addressing them is necessary for the longevity of #Minecraft, so I'm prioritizing that

Hmm, more Autumn..? They got the golden forest feel down. Two other areas I think could use expansion here are wildlife and produce. 1. More animal types would be neat for the feel, though I don't know what further purpose they'd have (like a Turkey). [1/2]
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 3d agoMinecwaft, Drop 3, the future... let's talk! ngl.link/mintrefresh
I addressed the first question earlier, but for the second, I don't have anything I particularly want to see here. We did just get 2 consecutive drops with new biomes and a strong building focus, and that's all great but it'd be good to see something different.
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 3d agoMinecwaft, Drop 3, the future... let's talk! ngl.link/mintrefresh
Ideally yes, though I wonder if they'd look off with the short trees of normal Forests. Big Oak Trees, Tall Birch Trees, and some others surely could have them. It'd take a unique feature from the Dappled Forest, but I think the pros outweigh that con. #Minecraft
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 3d agoMinecwaft, Drop 3, the future... let's talk! ngl.link/mintrefresh
I don't think so. Mojang shows what's coming next and really wants to avoid setting expectations they're not ready to set. I really don't believe they'll show or talk about anything that is for after Drop 4.

The trades could change, though they should certainly stay as maps. The new map loot does Cartographer trading. Mojang has said (relative recently if I'm not mistaken) that Jungle and Swamp Villages are not in their plans, so I don't think that's it. However... [1/2]
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 3d agoMinecwaft, Drop 3, the future... let's talk! ngl.link/mintrefresh
September 15th is my absolute earliest prediction for #Minecraft 26.3/26.50. Comparing to TCA, release would be likely September 22nd or 29th. Would Mojang release Drop 3 and MCD2 on the same day? Dunno, guess we'll find out. If no, the Drop will probably be earlier, not later.
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 3d agoMinecwaft, Drop 3, the future... let's talk! ngl.link/mintrefresh
Just gave some thoughts on Drop 4 possibilities. It'll be interesting to see whether we go in a different direction from the previous couple #Minecraft drops (like we saw last year) or if we're about to full-send into this "adventure" initiative that Agnes mentioned last Live.
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 3d agoMinecwaft, Drop 3, the future... let's talk! ngl.link/mintrefresh
Hard to say. I'm not convinced this one'll be a fourth dimension, though it's not impossible. I think it'll have a different focus than the other 2026 #Minecraft drops. Combat/challenge, redstone, or convenience are possibilities. Or we'll see more of this "adventure" initiative
MintRefresh🍬@mintrefresh.bsky.social · 3d agoMinecwaft, Drop 3, the future... let's talk! ngl.link/mintrefresh
I do believe the fourth dimension will come at some point, but I'm not convinced it will be as soon as many think. It definitely needs to feel like a place different than the existing dims, not just different blocks and colors. Just like lava flows faster and [1/2]

Looke like Concrete cutting recipes were in fact meant to exist and were just missing. Yay one less data pack for me to make lol #Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
New video tomorrow, then there's some that'll come out in not too long that'll be more discussion-based in topic.
If it wasn’t bought, we have no idea if Minecraft would still be in development today. Players have benefitted from the continuous development, and my guess is that Mojang would have wanted to work on more games at the same time rather than pouring everything into Minecraft.
I like to think Stairs and Slabs are meant to be cut from the Stonecutter but were just missing from yesterday's snapshot. Copper can be cut, why wouldn't concrete? #Minecraft
