A new update is heading to Minecraft, and Lead Designer Jens Bergensten has spoken in an interview about the update and what it will do, revealing that it will shift the focus of the game a bit.
"We always want to provide interesting content for the community, and we'll look more into the building aspect of the game for the next update. 1.10 and 1.11 were heavily focused on survival and adventure, and we're trying to build Minecraft in many different directions so that there is new content for the different ways people like to play."
"Although I've always seen Minecraft as a creative game, Survival Mode makes everything feel much more important," he continued. "Many of the new features in 1.11 can be considered relatively endgame and designed for more seasoned survival players, rather than brand new ones."
"While there isn't really a story in Minecraft, the team tries to find features that make everything feel more connected and accessible. We feel like we accomplished this with the Woodland Mansions, and we're interested to see what the community will do with the Illagers."
Are you looking forward to these changes, or do you think this isn't a good direction to go in?
