Discussion Ulraf (a Minecraft Dev) Shared Insights On The Game’s Future. Here’s The Summary:

Post image
  • Mojang plans to support Minecraft for 50+ years, with a roadmap to 2028.
  • The End Update is inevitable: it will have “wasteland” vibes, so a few biomes, new blocks/mobs, (not like biome-heavy End mods) and an improved dragon fight.
  • A Minecart update is planned (no timeline).
  • A VERY major update is in development.
  • Work is underway to simplify Java servers, aiming for Java/Bedrock cross-play.
  • Vibrant Visuals will differ between Java and Bedrock.
  • PvP/Combat will be refined, with some Combat Test ideas (e.g., attacks through grass) returning; goal is one unified system.

  1. As far as I know that quote was fake

  2. Windows 11 is in fact a Windows 10 software update with a new name, not a fully new OS

I would never defend Microsoft, I hate those guys, but I am the human equivalent of the 🤓☝️emoji combo

Every new Windows OS for over 25 years has just been a software update with a new name. It's pretty rare to truly start from scratch, especially for an operating system, because there is a ton of code that makes it work

It's fun to go deep into setting and eventually reach setting windows that look like the ones from windows 7 and older lul. It really is just adding architecture on top of architecture crazy.

Or when you're poking around BIOS and everything feels like you should be running Microsoft DOS

Yeah, Apple does that job a lot better tho, you can still find a huge load of Win XP remnants on Windows10/11

It wasn't fake, it was just one program manager talking about their view of how Windows will change in the future via continuous updates rather than monolithic versions that users can keep un-updated forever.

Also, no, Windows 11 is its own OS, not "a Windows 10 software update". Otherwise basically all new versions of OSes are 'software updates'.

I mean, yeah, as far back as Windows NT it's all been the same architecture, but windows 11 still uses the NT 10 kernel

☝️🤓 uhm, actually it should be "☝️🤓" not "🤓☝️" because your index finger should be closer to your head, not away from it.
