In this community (and in the entire MC fandom), about everyone seems to think that Mojang is being deliberately lazy with the mob vote for the sake of engagement. It's just constant complaining about Mojang supposedly being incompetent, and most of it makes no sense....
Yes, of course Minecraft is held to a higher standard than modders. They have Microsoft money and professional programmers, and they've been coding this game for the past one and a half decades which is an amazing length of time.
Look, I've been playing long enough to remember when dogs showed up. When jungles were added just a year after Beta concluded, we were all in awe. New huge trees with different wood! Vines all over everything! Melons! Sunsets! Three new mobs! There was tons of new content, mechanics, and features to explore. And they kept releasing new biomes, mechanics, and features, creating what we all recognize as Minecraft today.
However, at some point during their acquisition, this really slowed down. Instead of getting whole new biomes and mechanics, they started teasing us with a handful of features modders had been doing for years. We already had Ender Chests, and they could be shared across the server with a three-digit code, and they could store liquids or be made into backpacks. We already had rabbits, and squirrels, and songbirds in the Twilight Forest. We already had integrated redstone and kids were learning how to make complex circuits with it. Teasing us with three mobs we might see one of in a year or two is a real letdown.
My point is, Mojang has more resources than they've ever had, more subscribers than any other game ever, and yet they act like they're God's gift to gamers when they actually perform more poorly than they did 12 years ago. As a player from the very beginning, I know better, and I find this behavior pedantic and insulting. The only reason I still play at all is because college students are still making featureful content over spring break that makes it a whole new adventure again.
I appreciate your perspective as a newer player. I'm glad to see folks like you getting into it.
I don't think I implied that Minecraft was better before Microsoft. Having that big money and wide audience has kept the game relevant and it's great that they're continuing to develop it. I was primarily pointing out that they used to do more with less, and they didn't tease us with unattainable content.
I’ve become curious about how many spelunkers are out there.

I don't "see" things as if I'm looking at them, I see them the way you imagine a taste.
I do a lot of visual thinking and 3D manipulation but I don't ever actually see it. I also have music playing pretty much all the time whether I like it or not.
The latest poll conducted by the KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor found that nearly half of all adults in the U.S. plan to get the newly recommended COVID-19 vaccine.
It could be that a lot of folks are on the fence. But yeah I'm generally feeling pretty pessimistic about humanity after watching half my country deny science up to the point they're gasping for air.
I love those videos where people are caught trying to have a private conversation by someone who speaks an unexpected language! Also it's shocking to me how many people loudly speak common dialects of Chinese and don't expect anyone to follow... literally over a billion humans can understand Mandarin, someone is listening.
I tried to report a restaurant as closed. I was looking forward to eating there while out of town. It was empty, had a big CLOSED sign in the window, and was surrounded by construction equipment and road barriers. I took pictures of all of this and they still rejected my edit.
They did approve my addition of a river access in the middle of nowhere, though.
Australia's plastic packaging system is being overhauled, which is good news for conscious consumers like Nadene, but some remain skeptical about how much recycling can realistically be achieved.
We have some resources to recycle plastic bags and film here in Seattle, but it's sta hassle to collect and take to a participating facility, and how much of it gets thrown away?
We were supposed to have a plastic bag ban, but what really happened is all the stores just switched to "reusable" plastic bags which are the same design as before but now they're like 5mil thick. So now instead of free thin bags that I line the bathroom trash can with, I pay 5 cents for a thick one (whether I want it or not in many cases) and there are probably a lot of thick "reusable" bags just getting thrown away, or in the bushes.
I primarily ask this, because for a large part of my life, I have found it hard to build meaningful friendships with neurotypicals. I don’t know any autistic people in real life, but wonder if it would be easier for me to build friendships with them?...

I used to use TT before I found out that my money was being spent on lobbying for more complicated taxes.
Now I use Free Tax USA. I used to pay upwards of $80 to file for myself and my businesses and now it's free. I give them $25 just because I want to support them, but I don't have to.
Ideally I would like a spigot plugin that makes the game pretend it’s “daytime” for the purpose of mob spawns, even at night. If this isn’t possible, I would also settle for a fabric mod that disables hostile spawns above sea level. Does this exist?...
What about allowing mobs to spawn in another dimension? Either the Nether and End or a second Overworld? It should be straightforward to get some code that lets you set difficulty per-dimension.
My household has not bought anything from them since before the pandemic. Unfortunately, this means relying on Walmart, which isn't much better, but at least they get toilet breaks.

The worst offenders are the ones who make their mobile site impossible to use so you will download the app. Unmovable banners, incorrectly sized floating menus, and features unnecessarily locked out unless you switch to Desktop mode or use the app. Guess what, I'm definitely not installing it now!
Is there a way to shape the world faster?
