Mojang and Microsoft are planning a major overhaul of three areas in Minecraft. And this is despite the fact that the game is still extremely successful.
What is Microsoft planning? Three areas are set to receive a complete overhaul. These are “Swamp”, “Mountains”, and “Badlands”. New monsters, features, and gameplay mechanics are expected to be introduced. The developers aim to provide more details by September 28.
Necessary overhauls despite extremely high player numbers
Is it necessary? Recently, it was revealed that Minecraft has around 112 million monthly active players. This means it is extremely popular. Therefore, the question arises whether such a comprehensive overhaul is even needed. However, Minecraft is now ten years old. Even though it still ranks among the most popular games, it is time for a few new features and changes.
Since the graphics pack for the game has been discontinued, overhauled areas are just what the players need. This gives them something new to look at and explore. Such changes keep a game interesting.
What makes this special? Mojang wants to tackle these overhauls with you. You can decide which of the three biomes should be revamped first. On September 28, Minecraft fans will have the chance to participate in a vote during MineCon Live.
However, there will be information beforehand about what exactly will be new in these areas. This will give you all the necessary information to make your decision.
Players desire a revamped swamp
What do the players think? Minecraft fans are already looking forward to seeing what the new biomes will look like. Many believe an overhaul is urgently needed. On Reddit, for example, discussions are underway about which area should be updated first.
The leading contender is the Swamp. Many want dangerous animals like alligators or swamp monsters, as well as fireflies and willows to create the right atmosphere.
In second place is the Mountain region, which could generally use a bit more excitement.
